Please don't waste pick 33 on Farren Ray. 2 years ago we got Howe with pick 33. Surely we can find someone better than Ray at pick 33. Someone harder.

We won't.

wont happen... unless we are planning on handing over pick 4 and today that would not surprise me.

He is the final player that we had earmarked at the start of trade period that we haven't got.

Let's see it happen!

One thing I keep thinking of with Ray, not sure if it has been mentioned on this thread yet (can't be bothered reading it all), Misson would know what Ray's work ethic and attitude toward training would be like...

For Pete's sake, I can't believe I'm that desperate, but just give them 49, 53 and 70 for Ray and be done with it. We don't have a recruiting manager and clearly were not interested in using any decent picks so just [censored] them off.

I'm happy to see the club trade in some experience and it's really good to see they've recruited some very good senior players as well but you can go too far and you have to have one eye on the future as well as the present. I would hate to see, say, Rodan getting a game ahead of a talented kid who may deserve a game but will miss out because of the desire to win a couple of games now.

I for one don't want to see the team full of "not great but ok senior players" from other clubs who know they won't be around for a flag and therefore will be playing for the money and maybe a bit of fun in the twilight of their careers.

I don't want to see us lurch from one thing to another, we can't replicate the Swans in one draft period..

It is hard Robbie, we have seen it done the opposite way and that doesnt work, but i think your right in suggesting we could go too far the other way.

I just hope as i bet you and others that we can get the mix right, bring in Viney, Pick 4 and maybe a Taggert ect along with the Dawes, Pedros, Byrnes ect to bring the mix right, and replace the Sellars and Bails or just put the pressure on for the in form players to get games.

You will find it very hard to trade someone with no value DD

Those two have some value so guess what they get traded.

It is like selling your house

The value is what some else will pay which way be way different to what you imagine.

If the best value you can get is pick 88 then that is the market value.

All over , Ray stays a Saint.

I wonder if we were serious. Reported as no MFC contact with Saints in last couple of weeks. Maybe they smell a chance of Jacobs in the PSD.

Tim Harrington said they put in a lot of work in this today and were close but not quite there.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
