Players can change look at Martin Pike, not wanted by Melbourne and traded to Fitzroy, traded to North, flag at North, delisted by North, picked up by Brisbane and three more flags there.

His off field record was appalling but he could play football.

I just don't get this.

Too old. Too old to begin the training.

The club is just saying we're interested. How interested we really are is anybodies guess.

Technically, we could use a classy runner off half back and that's what Shaw is, even if he can be a [censored] at the best of times.

Pies would be looking for plenty of compensation though, and I don't want the club to overpay for him as I don't think he is worth more than a mid to late first rounder.

For me I hope it is only just rumour, couldn't think of a bigger idiot to recruit to the dees.

His best days are past him and had serious attitude problems!

Agreed.

We "looked at" Martin as well and then said no thanks.

Nothing wrong with squeezing all the fruit in the aisle, as long as you pick the juiciest one at the end.

how i can see us getting him in a perfect world:

Colin Sylvia informs melbourne he wants to leave the club, melbourne have a little chat with collingwood and offer the swap, collingwood dont realise that they can get sylvia for free as a free agent, and let us trade shaw for sylvia.

otherwise although he would be the perfect player for our list i feel that we dont have the bait to get the job done, maybe blease?

Or, instead of collingwood not realising he's a FA, we sign him up, then go 'ha, just joshing, get you a** to collingwood', and trade for shaw....

But seriously, no.

if sylvia wants to sign with melbourne then i would be more than happy with that, but i doubt he does, and the currency on sylvia to a possible top 4 club would be significant.

heath shaw is very nearly the best 1 vs 1 player in the comp and his disposal craps all over terlichs, even if he has a few melt downs a bit of passion in the mfc wont go astray.

People forget that we're a 2-20 and 54% team sometimes. Anyone (yes ANYONE)* that's better than the list of C, D and E graders (apologies to a few) we have donning the guernsey each week is worth a look.

Heath Shaw at his best was an elite defender and while he is probably only B-grade nowadays, he would improve our back 6 significantly.

Yes for me at the right price.

*The train-wreck that is Dustin Martin being a possible exception.

Frankly if we had a mid to late first rounder i would rather use it on a player (like young Jones) who can be around for a decade in the midfield.

I said this to my missus and added that I had squeezed a helluva lot fruit in my day, and i ended up with the juiciest.

She didn't like it.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
