Sellar - gone

Nicho - gone/trade

J Macd - gone

Davis - gone

Bail - gone /trade

Davey - gone (hopefully as a free agent)

Rodan - gone

Spencer - GONE

that's 8 OUT.

Bring in Shiel & pick 55 (tde#2), Prestia (#tde20), Savage (trade#38), Liam Anthony (trade for Nicho), add Hogan and Magner, add Draftees #55 & #56 (Jake Lever and Jarman Impey).

Now that's a strategy

If the FD for any reason suspect that Frawley might be thinking of walking at the end of next year they could well keep Davis as insurance. Developing nicely at Casey it seems.

I like your strategy. You can argue the toss over who goes but the ins are spot on (except Anthony who is a taller but slower version of Nicho)

Add Daisy Thomas on big bucks via free agency and you've got a pretty useful looking midfield when you add Jones, Sylvia, Viney plus the likes of Grimes & Howe going through there as well

If we can retain our current forward line & main defenders, there is a pretty damn competitive team looking to win against all comers

That's the easy bit...how do we make it happen ?

General consensus seems to be a couple of good mids plus upgrading some of our poorer depth players will give us a decent list. I agree but think we need caution on our expectations, the list will still be very young and inexperienced and it will probably take 3 seasons for toupas, blease, viney, Jones m, terlich et al to develop into a top grade midfield. At that point most listed will just be hitting 50 games.

Bringing in senior mids will help fast track the young guys, hopefully we can land some big fish with the help of the AFL (priority picks, marketing budget etc).

Neeld has been saying a similar thing the last couple of weeks "these are the guys to take us forward". The bulk of the list ifs there, we need some cream, some experience and leadership, and we need to pull through the current confidence crisis with minimal scarring.

    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.

    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)
