After AFL experience and bodies.

Denied games over with Wellingham. Denies interest in Knights or Reilly and sidestepped a proper answer on a few others.

Important to get players who can play Neeld's game plan.

Happy with the core group and wants to bring players who can assist or compete with current players and then will make decisions on list.

Aaron Davey to be at Melbourne next year.

Simple one with Viney, will make decision based on what the other 2 clubs do and comes down to the day. Denies denying they have decided!

Heard most of it... Usual stuff, but my impressions were this:

-Was very diplomatic about Dawes, got the impression that's a done deal

-Was VERRRRRRY keen on Caddy, gut feel is we may force him to us via trade with GC

-Subtlely hinted that Viney would be back at MFC after 2 years if GC or GWS go after him

Viney is almost certain to go to the Suns if they bid for him!

They did sow the seeds of letting him go, with him turning back and coming here in 2 years.

Let's see who blinks first.

These two items are the crux of our play to get JV with the second round. I.e. Let Jack go through and we'll use pick 13 on Caddy (a better deal than most other suitors can afford)...

Saints have pick 12 (and possibly 13 for Goddard)

And if GC let JV through then we can make sure Saints use pick 12 on Caddy (which would make GC happy).

But we have GC boy Petterd to sweeten a deal if needed.

Haha yeah so it would be Caddy for either:

-Pick 13

or

-Petterd plus pick 4

Lol

We don't have to actually want Caddy or even take him, we just need GC to think we might, sufficiently to let JV through to second round.

I don't particularly like Caddy from the accounts I've heard, but keen to have two top 5 picks PLUS JV...

Stuie? Now the time Mate. If they want Viney the have to grab him. Dawes will be a done deal. No other team would want Dawes. Having said all that who knows..maybe he can be the "transformer" and we sure need some toughness.

Yeah I think Dawes would be a decent pick up as long as we don't have to give up much trade wise and Collingwood pay half his contract.

What are you talking about? Since when does 13 plus a sweetener ( Petterd ) become 4 plus Petterd.

It was a joke mate. Have another look and see if you get it.

    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
