How am I saying it was only one sided ?? prey tell. They got something ...good for them.. We did better. They werent ripped off , but weve done exceptionally well.

Yes, olisik doesn't think we did. Which, I presume, is why he can't let the trade go.

explain though why you wouldnt ? I think in the greater audience just about all would concur it was a shrewd and rewarding trade.

But you dont want to do anymore ??

Firstly define a "Tyson" trade and provude examples of how we could acheive it again.

If it is so shrewd why would other clubs go for more of these trades?

Basically it was a 2 for 2 trade. We helped our midfield somewhat with Tyson and got a development player. We gave them access to a potential superstar and a development player ( I think this pick was traded off to Brisbane who took Darcy Gardner).

So the question is, is the upside of Salem over Gardener more then the upside of Kelly over Tyson?

We wont know for a while though I wouldnt consider it a bargain and constantly say we should do it with every high pick we have.

I don't think the trade is necessarily the best thing to do this year. I think Tyson has been a success but for the deal to be a real success Salem has to develop into the player we hope for.

A lot depends on how the 2nd part of the deal stacks up, we have to keep regenerating the list and if we can't pick kids and develop them then we might as well shut shop. I know we've been spectacularly unsuccessful with this to date, but it's time we got it right.

The whole point of the Tyson trade was to get a ready to go player of some pedigree and KNOWN ability whilst also participating in kiddie lotto.

We still need the slightly older , partly experienced and developed player who actually delivers. Theyre part of what we lack the lost, actual ability not 'potential" gun!!

I fully expect Roos to not only repeat this if possible but expand on it

You are assuming we picked Gardiner at 22. And that in this hypothetical scenario another team wouldn't have before us. Obviously you rate Gardiner.

And I wouldn't do another 'Tyson trade' if this was 2001 and Pick 2 was either Judd or Ball.

I would do another 'Tyson trade' if the circumstances are right to do another. And I hope they are because we need more experienced bodies and minds at this club.

Nothing is ever black and white, right or wrong, bad or good - if that can be frustrating to those that want to generalise and make grand assumptions.

I will, because you can't.... ( grasp it )

A Tyson trade occurs whereby you exchange a very early pick ,,,sub 5 therefore foregoing an early dip into Kiddie Lotto but getting back a post 5 ( to say about 10) pick as well , and primarily to secure a youngish player of known ability who can impact immediately. Why, because he's already started to develop.

Now as to repeating this... I'll just give Jason a call and see what the lay of the land is with the club and all the others ( via managers etc ) :huh:

We aren't privy to how. but the club will be.

Another rebuild is needed....we just simply dont have class... Premiership lists have 6-9 guns , strong culture, leadership.

Roos will need to build the list & unfortunately want see the fruits of his labour...

    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
