Would likely get a bag of chips for him at this stage. More value in keeping him for his experience than giving him away cheaply. Certainly the development of Gawn and Pencil indicates his value in that regard, and if he can stay injury free there may be another decent run in him.

:The residual issue is what he adds outside of the ruck contest, which is pretty much nothing. I think Roos can address that.

Without a decent offer, which seems extremely unlikely, I'd be keeping him on.

I suppose I should've gone through the entire post! Interesting that we've refuted the article, usually if there's truth to it they let it slide.

I still think it would be the best move for both parties, but whatever happens happens.

Going by our recent history a quick denial to a fresh rumour is reason enough to highten suspicion.

I think at that time when Jamar signed that contract, that Gawn, Spencer, & Fitz were under-performing with Gawn injured.

Stefan Martin had been going OK though.

The value in trading Jamar is not what we would get back in a trade, it's ridding ourselves of a 2 year albatross and freeing what you'd assume is some pretty significant cap space.

Since when is cap space an issue for us Doc? We're up to our ears in cap space are we not?

Well if they come out and say that they have agreed to part then that would probably lower his trade value.

Whereas if we come out and say we are willing to trade him but he is still wanted then we might be able to get a slightly better deal.

Pick 87 instead of 88 then?

Yep we should be but who knows what the list manager's been doing the last few years. We may need that extra cap room at the end of next year if we want to keep Frawley, re-sign Jones etc

This would be a nothing trade. We already have 7 spots to fill this offseason.

Meh.

7 spots? Isn't it 8? Or am I miscounting, perhaps due to rookie upgrades or something.

  • Davey
  • Sylvia
  • Rodan
  • MacDonald
  • Davis
  • Tynan
  • Sellar
  • Gillies

(plus rookie spot for Couch)

Those 8 out, Hogan in. I'd say we are up already

    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
