Of course we'd be "into" Conca.

There wouldn't be a decent young midfielder we're not courting. Getting players over the line will be the hard part.

Agree. Tigers would want overs in a trade, as they would feel hurt and would need to act tough for members.

PSD would be our bargaining chip.

if GWS get Buddy, spending the rest of their $40m salary cap and Conca says it is here or back home only, then GWS may not be in a position to spoil the party. Of course a deal for say Adams and Miles could make this a certainty as well from their point of view.

The major problem will be getting Conca to say I am off to the Dees.

Gee I'd love him on our list but that definitely seems too much. 450k a year is huge. We still need to have enough cap to target players such as Adams, Selwood and Swallow.

They paid Davey $440000 per year!

Was just about to say that.

Davey would have freed up a lot of space but that does not mean we should go and make ridiculous offers.

However considering we have cap room and will need to pay above market price for players - I guess we can front load contracts (like Clark).

If we can get some good players into the club and show some real improvement next year we won't have to pay overs.

This is where we sit Swallow, Adams, Conca and Cross in a room together, tell them they can earn decent coin and together form a decent midfield instantly. The key positions are in place for them.

If we land 2-3 of the above we may still win 16 games, bearing in mind that there are still other positions on the list that Roos will fill astutely.

So you are saying that if we got Adams and Cross we might be able to win 16 games. Wow.

Get Conca, right age, right skill set.

Richmond have stated they will be looking to bolster their ruck stocks, Jamar and 2nd round pick (19 or possibly priority pick 18) could get this deal done

Source please? Enough with the hearsay

Heard from one of my customers who is a huge financial backer of the Tigers. However with Martin going it will come to nothing!

Sorry precious but hate to point out a fact to you, but to say everyone is creaming our pants about him is just ridiculous, the thread is probably a month old, see much activity for him??

I started the thread, show me where I am disappointed or critical of Trenners.

As is so often the case the hero that jumps in and makes broad generalisations just makes himself look like a moron...

Actually that wasn't what I was saying [as you no doubt are aware]! I was referring to three if Cross was one and if Conca stays with the Tigers, I guess that is the same total of who we may be able to entice

    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
