Hard nut delisted today by Port Adelaide. Age 26 but didn't play much this year.

I must say I didn't pay much attention to Port this year but I thought Thomas was a fair player and that he might be worth having a look at.

Waited for someone to bring it up. We have to keep in mind that davey, rodan among others won't be there to "fill in" games. As such, we do need to look at some way of covering that. Sure, they weren't stars this season, but they provided a few cameos that we can't expect blease, Strauss, taggart etc to consistently cover yet, unfortunately. Players like Matt Thomas, Daniel cross will all need consideration, but all this is dependant on trades, priority picks and our ability to retain players like Sylvia etc.

Thomas is no star, but behind port's midfield that will eventually be seen on par with collingwood and geelong, perhaps only surpassed by gold coasts, you see why he struggled for games.

would definitely make our side.

but i've heard he's off to tigerland.

Tigerland might have a lazy $500000 by the sounds of things.

Thomas is a tough nut who is a fierce competitor, tackler and wins the footy. Would be a class above Terlich in our back 6. Maybe have a look if others pass him by.

What Matt Thomas have you seen play? No way is a class above Terlich.

He's a midfield stoppage specialist who could also play or rest as a defensive forward. Not athletic or skilled enough for the backline that's for sure.

He'd provided a boost to the midfield and do Rodan's role as a clearance winner and mature body. Would take the pressure off Viney and let Sylvia play more half forward where he belongs.

I'd be all for him as a short term measure.

Absolute tough nut and a great leader. I hope we sniff him out but I believe Richmond will most likely snare him.

Why Richmond?

They were into him last year and were close to securing a deal. Pretty sure I read somewhere that they are still keen?

Roos and his coaching staff would have already considered many OOC and Delisted players who he thought could make our team better

It is exactly why Daniel Cross is now a Demon

I would also consider that they have already looked at the viability of Scott Waters for example

Many of us look at every opportunity based on pure hope

Roos will be far more decisive than that

Don't even consider Watters, horrid coach.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
