some nice players should be squeezed out of Sydney now

Luke Parker anyone?

How about Mitch Morton, a retired Jude Bolton with no desire to coach, and a crippled Marty Mattner?

That, coupled with the departures of Mumford and White will ensure the Swans have plenty of cap space without squeezing required players.

Wow

That truly is impressive by the Swans if that happens......

Yeah, but it's a hell of a lot easier when you have close to an extra $ million in your salary cap.

GWS is going to be the AFL's biggest basket case, players don't wont to go there and players want to leave. The Gold Coast at least can sell G Ablett aand the lifestyle.

Remind me again of all of their gun players who are returning to Vic after having just finished their first contracts?

Now that sounds familiar........*rubs chin.

Rumours are one thing... riding on the back of others' rumours and claiming credit is another.

you got it in one, I can't believe others don't see through it. It's like reading the front page of the Beano!

Tell me who are their gun players, J cameron, is one and the others are potential that will be picked off as they develop

Was really hoping we would chase Dylan Shiel, but he,like most of his contemporaries has signed a new contract through the year. He'll, even Adams may stay now Buddy isn't going. I've been amazed at their ability to hang on to so many kids who are so obviously talented.

By not getting burdened with a massive contract for Buddy does them a favour IMO, they will have Patten, Boyd and Cameron being fed by fantastic mids (who wouldn't take Toby Green). They will have the ability to contract who they want, front loading many.

Everyone said clubs would raid GWS after two years. How's that been going?

So you think they will definitely take Boyd? If so our number 2 becomes gold to other clubs

What? Surely you mean that the other way around right?! If Boyd was guaranteed to be available at pick 2 THEN it would be gold.

Not sure. If Boyd off the table and clubs want to get the best pick we have it! Not all clubs are after a Tom Boyd

Just heard that GWS will swap Pick 1 to us for Pick 2, they can't stand the pressure! Source: 2 drunks outside a Thirsty Camel

its likely GWS may take Fyfe for P1.

and I reckon then they'll start to trade for some other mature bodied players.

this could be the biggest trade period ever. hold on to your hat, we have competition for the mature players we want ourselves.

I wonder if there will be quite a few kids left over from the draft, with clubs taking many mature players. the preseason/rookie drafts may be interesting this year.

is that a rumour, or a fact? this is the rumour page didn't you know!

Far LESS likely if Buddy does go to Sydney. GWS will take Boyd.

It certainly will be interesting - no doubt! Nearly as exciting as awaiting the news of our new coach last month - and nearly as drawn out!

Fitzy and pick 2 for Fyfe. Similair deal as the juddy one without visy involved.

Yep Fyfe will leave Freo for the bottom two clubs in the league

If he goes to Sydney, GWS would surely take Boyd with #1.

This devalues our #2 doesn't it? Since the previous speculation was if they got Buddy, they may skip Boyd at #1?

Not sure I agree. If GWS take Boyd (which I think they will do), this means that our pick 2 becomes the most valuable tradable pick in the draft for all other clubs. That should be worth quite a lot in a draft which thins out quite quickly after pick 30 apparently.

Incidentally, there is speculation that GWS will pay serious attention to any trade for an experienced ruckman with 3-4 years left in him. Surely we could package something up involving Jamar to get one or two of their gun mids? Could be good value for us.

Don't know if Jamar has that much left in the tank, but we can only hope!

Taylor Hunt any value to us?

No no no.

That is way over the top. Fyfe isn't that good. Fitzy will be better than any of them, and be a gun in the midfield - mark my words.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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.
