This is the point. If we don't get him this year, our chance is prob gone.

Agree.

I still wont discount the possibility of getting Rodney, despite Adelaide's public denials.

Public talk is cheap in the AFL. (Brendan Bolton won't keep being publicly interested in jobs because the public rejections hurt you. Same way that Voss "isn't interested in coaching" but if suns came knocking he would go.) Adelaide need to stick fat for the moment and hope they can tie Danger down for years, otherwise they risk a pick 11 for him as FA compo in 12 months time.

I don't care what Adelaide says publicly, the pick 2&3 combo bait is enticing. Lot of unknowns over in Adelaide. Not many here now.

Personally, I don't think we're much hope of landing him. We're pinning most of our hopes on some unsubstantiated rumours, mainly from anonymous Demonland posters.

However, the sudden news re. Griffin gives me some hope. That really came from nowhere. The landscape can change in a matter of seconds.

He also said that Paddy wants to stay at Adelaide , so won't be happening.

He did say , though, that we would contact, Griffin and Cristiansons management.

Found the comment about Griffen interesting. He's "waiting to hear back from his manager".

Also rumours that the Greenwood trade might have fallen through and he's changed his mind about Collingwood. WTF is going on?

It's the Bizarro world AFL Trading period.

Hopefully just a ploy....but with one week to go we will find out pretty soon.

Let's be honest, would the football manager of GWS have come out last night and said they'd successfully courted Griffen?

If we have Danger it's going to be revealed in a very controlled fashion and not in a radio interview.

Football Managers like Mahoney are great at avoiding questions and telling white lies, but I thought he was pretty emphatic about Dangerfield. Doesn't sound like it's going to happen.

Speculation can now carry on for another 12 months!

sounds like lots of offers & counter offers are being thrown around, so no one wants to commit to using their Early Rnds picks just yet. Looks like there is a much stronger push from all clubs this year to get those mature players, & the draft has been seen as the 'slow journey to power'.

yes but Danger may want to get to the Cats or Hawks OR, but this year they don't have the cap space or the picks/trades available to get him over the line.... so he could be waiting for those teams to get their ducks in order for the 2015 off season.

# Or maybe Pies; maybe Mr e magoo is stalking him with his car, escorting Beams Nth, so he can spend $$$ & picks like living Dangerously.. I always thought there may be something to e d's cleanout, of the last couple of seasons.

I reckon he's into Danger, big on him, like he has for lovechild Bucks.

Not sure about the Dangerfield rumour of trading him for picks 2&3 (which is also mooted to involve sending Toumpas back home despite the MFC website saying only recently that he was a required player). Effectively Melbourne would be giving away three top three draft picks for one player! No thanks; l don't care how good he is! I have confidence in Roos, Goodwin and Stone as being capable of developing our own superstars. It is is not as though we are in a Premiership window next year and we do have a succession plan in place with Roos/Goodwin!

I am quite happy to have Brayshaw, McCartin/Wright and Toumpas in our stable of home grown stars!

I did post a rumour about us going hard at Danger. It turns out Mahoney said we had offered picks 2 & 3 but got knocked back. Many a slip between the cup and the lip my old grandpa used to say, and we still have a wonderful 5 trade days to go!

Posted

Come on D Land the reason we haven't got him is because we haven't made the 100 pages. The fish tales helped the count but we still have time.


Posted

If griffin goes to gws look out for shiel or treloar coming our way!!!!

Posted

Dogs need key position players- mcartin,wright etc

Griffin to gws,

treloar,shiel or both for either 2,3 or both

Dogs get there picks!!

Posted

How come?

they'll want to trade back into top 5.

as I said yesterday, all eggs still in Danger basket. Plan B is to go to GWS with godfather offer for Treloar or Shiel.

    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.
