One of the big advantages of Adams and 10 for 2 is that it allows GWS to effectively swap two players for one.

They need to start pruning their list back to normal levels, as we've seen with GC17, and still being able to being in top-end talent could play a big part that.

My ideas are just based on history, i'm not sure I can remember anyone putting talks on hold this long and staying, I get that it's a big call for him though, probably his last real contract and he has a right to take his time, and my preference is certainly for him to stay.

Brad Green did. i can't remember which year it was but he was seriously considering a move to Collingwood but signed on for three more years late in trade week.

Did Adem Yze do the same thing when Carlton threw heaps of cash at him?

$400k is about 4% of the cap next year.

So it is becoming less extravagant to pay someone that.

Yes, but with 40 odd players on your list, they average 2.5% of the cap each.

Obviously the players aren't equal, but there's a large difference between 2.5% and 4% for a kid going into his 3rd year.

I'd pay it, but I think the 4% should be put in context.

I believe a deal is being discussed but it involves our 2nd round pick, not pick 2!

I would be amazed if somebody pulled that off, particularly given Richmond's interest.

Don't be amazed by anything this time of year! Many unexpected trades will happen. Even some of our players are in for a surprise!

Demoneyes so I can get a feel for how seriously one should deliberate your rumours can you indicate whether this is your wishful thinking, rumours you get trawling other peoples rumours on forums, you have a secondary source relating to the club or a direct source at the club.

Still trying to digest that. May take a zantac!

Its pretty simple really how credible is your info?

Has he been right on anything before? Anyone can throw any sort of info out there at this time of year as long as it sounds even 5% credible.

All rumors on here are true aren't they :)

I cannot believe how many regular posters on here are giving this guy air! Thread after thread of half-cocked rumours, not one has come anywhere near to fruition. Wake up!

Afl.com.au say he met with the drug cheats

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-09-25/dons-in-market-for-adams

yet we arent even being mentioned as a chance to land him?

Collingwood and Richmond are more 'important' than us at the minute, therefore they get there air time.

Doesn't mean we aren't chasing him though. I have no doubt we are in for him, but it might take a bit of luck to land him over the other clubs.

Yeah but he's an Eastwood fan. Deserves his 15 minutes. And besides, it is the silly season.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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. 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
