Are we better off with Tyson and Salem OR Kelly plus either Taylor, Crouch or Hartung?

That is a good question which can't really be answered for a few years.

Honestly it really doesn't bear worrying about. The die has been cast.

And surely we're due for an even break (or even a win).

Well we are clearly better with the first option, which exists, as the second option does not and will never exist.

It could be construed as a silly question really, or at very best a hypothetical.

No. Trade with GWS was very simple it was 2 and 20 for 9 and Tyson. Sylvia compo went to Adelaide for Vince so I'd leave that as a separate transaction.

That said the Vince v Pick 25 or whatever it was could be answered pretty quickly next year because any form of input from Vince and an improved side makes that the right decision even if Matt Crouch becomes a star.

The GWS deal could also be almost solved pretty quickly if Tyson has a break out year and makes a big contribution to us winning games then we've already won. If Kelly then became a champ then GWS would've won as well but that's irrelevant to us.

Right now as it stands obviously Salem impresses me more than anyone who we would've had available 10-15 picks later and I'm not convinced by any gap between Kelly or Tyson. 2 different players who are both young, unproven and have different strengths with neither having a clear edge in talent.

Right now the advantages of Tyson having a couple of years in the system and of spreading the pressure of expectation on kids being the next big thing is the major positive of the deal. Instead of saying Kelly will be the next superstar and putting pressure on him we can let Salem develop in the VFL and Tyson can make immediate impact.

    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.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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.
