We really have a knack for drafting duds. Someone really should be fired. ;)

Don't be too quick, he's still undersized... he may yet turn it on in the next year or even this weekend?

With high draft picks, anyway. We seem to have better success with late draft picks, eg Tom Mc

I would take Matt Jones over Tom Scully.

And to think we also got Mitch Clark*, Hogan or Toumpas and Barry/Dawes for the little pr1ck. No brainer.

Thank you GWS.

* from the money we'd kept aside to retain TS.

every year we pick the wrong player, this year we got Toumpas when Wines was the one. lt happens year after year, we will come last this year but who cares about picks because we will get the wrong one anyway.

That article also states that GWS are on the look out for a 'big-name ruck option'.

I wonder what they'd give for Jamar?

Can you even trade in-contract players?

Good, maybe if it's framed right we can get it done, Sheedy seems to have a massive ego and enjoys taking from the Dees. If he can be convinced the story will be 'Sheedy bags another Dees star', then maybe he'll take Jamar and we can get someone useful in return.

If you were an 18 yr old and were offered the obscene amount of money he was, including putting your phat Dad on the payroll, you'd jump. My anger has always been directed at the AFL on this one. They manufactured the environment and its had implications for all clubs since.

This pretty much sums it up.

FWIW I think this hurt us more than we recognise. He was supposed to be one of the guys we built a team around.

Don't care what happens to him now - he's taken the ca$h and made his bed.

If scully got subbed for lack of form during this game my year would be made!

you haven't seemed to give the admin credit for this? they know what they are doing.

giving the Russian a contract, gave him the option, as well as us... winwin.

when our kids are ready to overtake him then the time is right.

ah yes, the old 'as long as making money is involved, any action, no matter how repugnant, is acceptable' song and dance

that attitude is the attitude of the executives of Nike and that's why we have sweatshops. That's one example amongst millions that are responsible for the terrible state the world is in.

Yet you believe in it so much you defend it even to the detriment of the footy club you adore

Thats a pretty stupid post, who in the AFL is going to trade for Jamar.

the apparent messiah in Leigh Matthews swapped Johnstone for the pick that became Jack Grimes so anything's possible

    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
