Turns 30 during the season next year. I'm sure he'll want to dash all hopes of winning a premiership (or even making the finals again) in his career

The right coin might change his mind :).

Disagree. We need senior players to come in and make an instant impact and blood in our youth.

Look at what Chapman did to Essendon. Cross for us. Mumford for GWS. And so forth..

My mail is Mundy and Frawley will both be at Hawthorn next year as they're trying to extend their premiership window, that's coming from a well informed 25 year member

Free agency will stop what the draft was intended to do. Dumb move by the AFL?

all free agency is going to achieve in my opinion is keeping the strong clubs up the top for longer and the week clubs hoping they can develop their players well to get anywhere

Oh, well if they have been a member for 25 years, that obviously shows how trustworthy they are as a source...

WTF?

we need another 2-3 Dom Tysons.

Young (20 years old)- check

Immediate impact- check

Leading by example-check

Star potential- check

Where do you get them from though?

Not too many clubs getting around with surplus top 10 draft picks they'd be willing to trade...

Maybe us?

He looks very good. Confidence is through the roof. Will improve with time. Hopefully he doesn't get Melbourne'd.

i'm sure Roosy and the recruiting team will be working on something now, especially with what seems like the sad inevitability of Frawley leaving (don't blame him, he has given the club so much time) and Clark retiring freeing up a lot of cap space.

It shows that he would know, all he said to me when i spoke to him was they're chasing Frawley and Mundy very hard and are very confident they will get them

Don't give one [censored] if Frawley leave. Good on him he bloody deserves some success. He is tired. Just look at his lack of endeavour. Let's chase some 24-26 yr old players and delist about 12-14 of our current list and start fresh. Too many mental scars. the players are completely, mentally head [censored] from years of being humiliated

No he will not help us long term, Daniel Cross whilet older is a different type, not on the same coin as Mundy would command. Daisy Thomas is not what Carlton needed and we should learn the same, Mundy and Thomas are the icing on the cake when you are in the Premiership window.

Players who we need to look at are 22-26 years of age or similar to Tyson who have had 2 years in the system and not getting regular game time. Pretty sure Roos and his department will be having a good look at all other lists and VFL games targetting players as he did at Sydney such as

Kennedy, Mcglynn, Richards, Mattner, Mumford, Shaw and the like

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
