We have room in the salary cap and draft picks. Who is out of contract and on our radar?

I for one want CLOKE, then the forward line is complete for the next five years you can lock it away and worry about the midfield and defence which is really getting better.

When I saw all those $$$$ in the topic I could only think of one poster for a fleeting moment !

We can all breathe easy :)

In the Cloke poll started by RR , around 45 - 47% voted for us to go get Cloke . Clark missing last week (and the rest of the season) underlines the value of a good key forward .

Somewhere there is a list of the free agents and in amongst them are quite a few midfielders - that's what we need . Cloke will come at a hefty price but I'd be very happy if we snared him .

i reckon we give Kerr an extra 100 or 200k per season. He is a free agent, bursts from packs and we could milk a season or 2 out of him to help out our mid-field.

Wont need to give up any draft picks either.

So long as West Coast are a chance for the flag, I can't see him going anywhere. But I'd definitely prefer to see the club target a credible midfielder instead of Cloke

No way we get him and he isn't even a power forward...

And how would we get him here?

Oops, sorry, that was my macro going off.

I think we should top up our mids with maybe S.Black and B.Sewel and watch Toumpas,Viney and Trengove grow into a force under there guide.

The MFC is in need of players like Black IMO and this will fast track the whole team.

Boak, ($$$$$), > (Mid Rnd Compo Pick + one of Beamer/Sylvia).

Or, U-17 Mini Draft (Hogan) > (Mid Rnd Compo Pick + one of Beamer/Sylvia).

Or, Trade Beamer > (Bombers-19)/(GWS-18)/(Suns-24)

Get Chapman $$$$, to aid our young mids.

Boak & Chapman, + young draftees, + a mature tall forward, not cloke.

Tom Rockliff and/or Mitch Robinson.

Im pretty sure ROCKLIFF signed for 3 years last year. I know him pretty well and he did a pre season with Melb who promissed him ha would be picked in the rookie draft. Brisbain beat us to the punch. Another one lost.

You're probably right. I have little to no knowledge of contract status.

Those are the 2 names for mine that stand out from the rest I'd love to see this club throw money at.

Beams (500K 4 years) & Wellingham (350K 4 years)

I'd also say there's a bit too much affection for Collingwood's list going on up in here.

Wellingham is the player St Kilda knocked back for Ball and in the end got nothing for. Not the best of moves but says what the Saints list management thought of Sharrod.

Of course, there is another option - that St Kilda's list management guys were just lousy negotiators

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
