I'm not jumping off the walls with excitement about his one, but he's a Demon now, let's support him. Welcome to the club, good luck in the Red and Blue.

Why wouldn't we wait to sign him as a delisted free agent???

My only thought the trade could be Pick 4 for for Rodan, Pick 7 & one of their 2nd round picks?

Gives them a shot at Toumpas or Grundy and gives us a shot at landing Ray or Pedersen?

Good get I think. The fact we aren't spending picks or players to get him and that he is probably on minimal money makes this a great pick up. Can play a role up forward next to Byrnes and hopefully his body holds up so that he can string some games together. Adds experience and skill and he could potentially be a specialist sub.

He's a proven AFL player that's getting a little long in the tooth.

If anything, he's bound to create competition for spots in the seniors and that is a good thing.

This is the 1st time in this draft period that I worry the FD is going too far the other way in bringing in experienced players, someone is going to miss out playing next year would rather see Taggert, Evans or Nicholson given more game time.

Not costing us anything, and though he's been injured/maligned he's not te worst player around. Don't really see the harm

In this.

Ridiculous..... A waste of a draft pick or even a spot on our list...

Obviously we need someone to increase our profile on The Footy Show player's revue!!

Hey that's original!

Strange to see a coach drafting mature aged players for a change. After going through the Bailey years where he was hell bent in getting rid of everyone experienced and refusing to draft over the age of 25, this could be just the stimulus we need to rise up the ladder.

Is anyone else thinking he could become a super sub specialist?!?

We could do a lot worse than bring his energy and explosiveness into the middle of the ground during a 4th quarter... He's a hard man to tackle to the ground.

We could look at it as a quicker replacement for Moloney?

And after the first 5 minutes of the first game he plays and his knee/hammy goes, who do we replace him with?

But why the urgency? Why not wait until he is a delisted free agent?

tis what I am thinking.

I assume PA caught wind of what we were doing and said 'we don't ahve to delist him, and then you won't be able to secure him until draft day...'

And we say - here is a draft pick we won't use.

Pick 63 or 70 is my guess.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
