Ha. I'm with you HH. When I heard rumours about the Dees looking at Shane Savage I almost choked. And then he thinks he's too good to play for us. I would suggest Savage have an interest in ANY club that may look at him cause he's a bench warmer at Hawthorn. Enjoy Box Hill Shane.

I love how people crack the shits with Savage nominating his club of choice calling him spud etc yet if he nominated us he would be hailed as a superstar.

Just because he doesn't nominate us mean its the end of the world. Just remember one thing. We are NOT a very attractive destination..

I agree with what you're saying DD, however I'm suprised he nominated Carlton.

Personally I don't see him in their 22 if they were injury free. One of the first emergencies yes, but not in their 22. If he came here he'd be starting FP, HFF or Wing.

Odd decision for someone looking to further their career IMO.

Yeah im surprised aswell TD but I don't understand the hate for someone that doesn't choose. But like I said its not the end of the world and too be honest I can see Brent Prismall all over again with him going to carlton.

Would be a decent replacement for Betts I would have thought.

Is there 1 player mentioned in trade week that Carlton has said they are not interested in?

Who a player nominates as a preferred destination means Jack shite.

The clubs will trade to suit themselves. He will go where the best option is for Hawthorn.

Off to the Saints apparently...

Sounds like he is coming with their first round pick to the Saints, in return for McEvoy. (Rumour on SEN atm)

More than a rumour, done deal.

Hawks amazing work to get McEvoy.

Yup, good deal for both I would have thought. Tom Hickey looks like he can take the mantle as the main ruckman, they get Savage and another first round pick

Hawks must have thought Longer was not attainable I guess.

Hawks paid overs...

But this is exactly the point I raised elsewhere. In order to get what YOU want ( insert club ) you go about it to suit yourselves. Its irrelevant what external judges place upon a draft pick's value. its what you want, what suits you. We need to do exactly the same

I wonder what this means for the longer trade... surely that can't get done now?

these clubs , like Hawthorn, find a way. Annoying

Paid through the nose because that is what they need. Roughhead out of the ruck.

We need a while mess of things so we can't entertain that sort of deal.

And young Billy Longer? Where are your jibes now son?

Talk to other clubs because you are not going to Hawthorn now.

That's a pretty good deal for both parties I think. It's the way trades should be done: identify your target, cough up a fair price, do the trade. It's the way Sydney have traded for years. The alternative is the Essendon approach of try and screw the opposition over as much as possible then moan and complain when all the other clubs tell you to shove it up your jumper.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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
