There seems to be a growing consensus that Howe is a one trick pony and limited in what he can offer. I don't agree. He's been in the system for only three years, usually has great skills, is young,

Hogan is the only player on the list i wouldn't trade under any circumstances, so my comments on Howe are made from that perspective. Some say he lacks defensive pressure, I agree, and it's because h

Not an A grader (at the moment) but, fmd, I'll take any midfielder at the moment!

Will be an A grader.

Averaging 21 touches in his 2nd season, and would comfortably be our 2nd besat midfielder behind N Jones.

Huge chance here for the Dees to land a great young midfielder and a legitimate ball magnet

Yep throw an offer too good to refuse! Tough hard at it midfielder that would add alot to our side. Put watts for a trade option aswell.

He can play, gets the footy and his disposal's good.

Make him an offer he can't refuse.

If he refuses it, somebody else overpays.

But what if Melbourne is the one overpaying? :P Wouldn't "an offer he can't refuse" technically be more than what others offer?

Definitely one we should try hard to get, as well as Anthony Miles he never gets any game time and is pretty decent ball winner. After watching the Swans dismantle the Crows today I would love for us to go for one of their fringe players such as Bird just to bring that culture that they have. Just an incredible side who are so tough that is exactly what I want the Dees to be one day.

Hardly a fringe player.

Wishful thinking. Cousins son.

Question is "why" come to Melbourne apart from Money or for fringe players to "get a game".

Targets as at 8 June:

- Dylan Shiel (GWS) 3years $$$

- Taylor Adams (GWS) 3years $$$

Fringe:

- Maverick Weller (Suns)

- Liam Anthony (Kangas)

- Mitch Hallahan (Hawks)

- Jarryd Lyons (Crows)

- Aiden Riley (Crows)

- Matthew Jaensch (Crows)

In a heart beat.

We should be offering lots of coin on a front ended contract. I don't care if we pay overs the kid can play and would be in our starting mids.

Given he can walk, I'd encourage that (ie psd), but id also be willing to offer trade bait to secure him. It may help get GWS to push him towards us rather than other suitors.

Exactly. If nothing else, we can use our salary cap space to put artificial pressure on other club's salary cap space. ;) Eventually, we'll shake a few from the tree.

And yes, if we can grab some quality midfielders, please... please! Do it, any chance we get.

Question first is would he want to come to us.

For an extra 10k I doubt it but for 100k or more, more than hee would get elsewhere he would have to think strongly about it.

Personally I'd rather us land a player like Adams who will impact next year and still have a 10 year career than a draftee we need to develop who won't help us improve next year.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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. 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
