wow... This is a very helpful list... Thanks for posting this information...

From this list, the players that stand out to me are....

Nat Fyfe

Adam Goodes

Tom Mitchell

Andrew Gaff

Shaun Burgoyne

Harley Bennell

Matthew Pavlich

Corey Enright

James Kelly

Levi Casboult

Pretty sure Burgoyne signed a new contract for Hawks, so did Bennell for GC.

Pav will either retire or play one more year, if he plays on no way will it be for anyone but Freo.

Enright, Kelly, Goodes, no thanks. We're trying to build this team's future, old guys who will only stay for a year or two won't do the trick.

Fyfe/Mitchell I'd love at the Dees, Gaff would be handy and Levi could be anything.

I think him being overlooked in his first draft, has put him in a very good place for a competitor. he's a beauty.

Who?

zaharakis.

...are you sure he was overlooked in his first draft? I don't think that's right.

How did Bryce Gibbs' contract talks go? Would be handy off a half back flank

We need another big key forward to replace Clarke. We need a 40-50 goal forward.

Coniglio... he is a star. BOG agst the Blues.

Yep, one of Shiel or Coniglio would help build our midfield. Though if Frawley were to leave and we get good compensation, i'd rather trade the pick for a ready KPP and draft a mid.

Then again it depends on what KPP's would be left come our pick. Wouldn't be too bad if Durdin was available at our pick and we were able to also bring in Shiel/Coniglio.

Look hard at Hawthorn reserves(Box Hill)

Grimley is big, strong, aggressive, and skilled.

There's no likelihood of regular senior selection.... their forward line is settled .

Hallihan is a tough "in and under" midfielder with little hope of regular AFL selection in the foreseeable future.

I met Jordan Kelly, and he intimated to me that a few of their players are frustrated with being regularly in the best, with little hope of promotion.

Overlooked in 2007 when 17 y/o's were still eligible to be taken in the main draft. Hawthorn were very keen and were set to take him in the third round, but Clarkson was dead set on getting Stuart Dew in and overruled the recruiters. Most recruiters were happy to have another year to look at him.

Thanks 'Chaser'.

I really want to clear this up, doesn't seem to get in anyones head.

JUST BECAUSE POSTERS ON DEMONLAND SAY IT DOESN'T MAKE IT A RUMOUR!

Well, it does make it a rumour, it just doesn't make it true.

I think so, pretty sure. When I was watching him at the 'G', Vic-Metro v Vic-Country; I remember hearing about him, or was it reading about him in the record? that he was overlooked the year before, and had come out all guns blazing that draft year, to achieve his dream.

my picks were Zarharakis, & Blease as running players. Blease with more pace. Zarharakis was more of a smart runner, had a step to his game.... as it turns out with the more congested nature of the game since that year, that Zarharakis step is very handy in traffic.

I went to watch Hurley, & noticed Watts as well for the first time.

Isn't that how we got Brett Lovett.

and Clarkson was right on. Dew was the man. .... and I wanted us to go after him, around 2005ish.. incredibly surprised when he announced his retirement the first time. I always liked his strong game, he was a favourite along with Shaun Burgoyne back around 2004/6.

As ive said numerous times on these sorts of threads, and yesterday proved me right again.

We are desperate for some outside speed.

Our midfield is still a way off, even if it has improved a bit. We lack serious midfield depth.

Roos will be targeting more gun onballers no doubt

Our KPP stocks are fine

    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

    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.
