I don't want Nahas or Riewoldt. Both are overrated. Riewoldt would be a cultural disaster for us. All he does is point and yell. I think the plan is to get rid of those types.

Nahas would be a perfect small forward for us. Iv seen the guy change the flow of games on several occasions. Including against us.

Good news re Strauss - Wouldn't mind the Dees signing up Blease either!!!

Both finally starting to show potential!!!

Anyway back to the rumours - I think we get compensation from the AFL if Rivo decides to leave????? And yes he is a Un-restricted FA and can move to any club he likes....

If riv or Moloney leave I hope we get a late 2nd rounder at least.

also mentions that charlie dixon could be on the move. if we could get a deal done that involved day and dixon (although this is obviously unlikely to happen), we could go along way to building a young and promising forward line, a bit like wce with kennedy, darling, cox/naitanui and lynch

Day and Dixon -> Moloney, Petterd, 3rd round pick

YES!!! Dixon is a massive unit! Dixon & Clarky! Big forward line with Howe roving or pinch hitting!

Would have Dixon!

Someone of big fish staus will end up at MFC. The time has come where we can & will compete with all other clubs involving trades.

The Demons are ready to rock financially but will no doubt be smart about all trades.

This is as exciting as it gets for us this year being trade time which is sad.... but if this is what it takes then we go get em!

Just as I thought Blease was signed, sealed, delivered, I heard to the contrary!

Bugger.

What was the contrary?

Can't divulge too much, but my mail tells me he's been wooed and is getting quite chuffed by the attention he's getting from a couple of clubs.

Then they can pay overs for the kid.

Oh dear.

Trust our luck that he pulls a great game out of his behind just as we get contract negotiations started.

FML!

Blease will stay, my mail is he's happy with club and Neeld. If as you say he's enjoying the attention it's because it's added $50-100k to his salary. But he will be in red & blue for the next 3 years at least

Hope so - but, I'm nervous as my mail is quite close to the boy.

btw, PSD, how's our small forward progressing, the left footer? is he still ripping them up?

Will be hard, players can leave if they are not in the clubs top 25% of paid players......would think we could match any bids that come our way if we are super keen to keep him, which we will be. Not 100% how all that side of free agency works.

Yep Richo still going well probably on target to kick 50 as a small forward, but in a very good side, Tigers have WAFL in the bag unless they fall into a massive hole, on the WAFL one kid worth a look at who could slip through to 40's/50's Marco Paparone decent size mid doesn't have great speed but does possess a good tank for a young in. Good footy brain and from the couple of games I've seen could be a poor mans Simon Black. Could be worth a punt if he is still there with our third round pick the kid seems to me to have great work ethic and to get the most out of himself, believe he would fit in well under Neeld

Whats this rule now?

I thought that if a player left they need to go into the draft?

i think he's getting mixed up with some new rule that's a part of free agency.

As i said i think its a free agency thing, but clubs can match the wages offered to some players, maybe the top 25% on their list, if they dont match the wages the player can leave. This may only be for restricted free agents or i am confused?

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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
