Rumour that he's going to trial with Collingwood under strict fitness and behaviour requirements and could be selected as a mature age rookie.

Precaution against Cloke's imminent departure?

Precaution against Cloke's imminent departure?

And Dawes inability to mark a footy.

Bit of a leap from the Ovens & Murray Football League though. I wouldn't have thought Collingwood would be 'that' desperate. Watching him play for Casey on a few occasions....he's just a player from another era. I'm not sure he's ever heard the term 'forward defensive pressure' muttered..

when we played against him this year we kept him to 3 goals at 3qtr time. we thought beauty because by then he had been sent off and body language was shitouse and our fullback who is one of the best in the comp completely shut him! the last qtr he exploded and kicked 7 straight. i thought to myself this bloke should be still in the AFL and if he got his [censored] together the ability is still there. needs to trim down a fair bit though..

good on him i say. has been a masterstroke up here in the country. has a long way too go but you get the sense that if he was given a go he would give it his all not stuff up again. talking to a few yarra mates they said his attitude has been pretty first class. but then again yarra have a few drop kicks there..

Couldn't play any worse than what Cloke is playing at the moment & he is asking for 8 times the amount of coin.

Cloke has 50 goals for the year though...

Rumour from where? Surely you made this up.

Thanks for the details, he is such an enigma as a player. He can kick goals out his khyber but just doesn't seem to suit the modern game. Who knows he may still kick 50 goals in a season but is a massive massive gamble and liability.

Hilarious isn't it, he's a spud yet has 45 goals (9th in comp), 1st in contested marks, 5th in marks inside the F50.... Dees are crying out for another one of those players.

Jeez those stats are damning for the critics

I don't know that he's that big a risk. If he doesn't turn out, big deal. The opportunity cost is tiny and you're probably going to get kudos for giving the guy a 'second' chance; if he screws up it'll be on him.

That said, I'd be very surprised to see him on an AFL list again.

read the article moron, he didnt do his knee, stop reporting crap. he landed awkwardly and stayed on the ground ffs

But in a possible blow to Pigeons' flag aspirations, Fevola finished the game on the bench with a knee injury.(second line)

SEN today said it was a PCL

No...the Fev one is probably incorrect.

    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
