Watching part 2 of Roosy's interview, mentioned he was heading to Hawaii in the 2nd part of trade week. Indicated we should be done by then.

Interesting decision, makes you wonder if some deals are already done.

Clark - Lumumba

Danger - ......

Frost - .........

According to the pinned thread (I pasted these few dates below), the second week is also the time free agency ends. From memory, they don't hand out compensation until the free agency deadline. Is this still the case? In which case, we wouldn't know for certain that we had pick 3 coming in.

Clubs can get an indication from HQ as to what their compensation will be before they're handed out. Whilst we cannot consummate any trades until the compensation is officially announced, we can still negotiate trades based what we'll be doled out.

Thanks. I hope by "indication" its a case of "you will definitely receive pick 3".

Really wouldn't want to lose loyal kids like Trengove and Toumpas, but with the market as it is I feel like we would be negligent to not explore ever avenue to acquiring Dangerfield.

He is one of the most marketable players in the league, and he's an awesome player to boot.

One concern is the head injuries though - how prohibitive are they?

he's the only person on the whole forum with a shred of credibility! He's a valuable resource! He's a national treasure!

...is this post made in jest?

What the ?

is this serious, the senior coach takes a holiday in the most important week once the season finishes? surely he can sun himself in early pre-season, when a senior assistant can run training.

All the trade stuff would be pretty much worked out prior, if not they make a phone call. No biggie.

What about a Bernie Vince scenario - last minute meeting and convincing from a coach...

Considering how important this time of year is, I am surprised he would be heading o/s

Hey, he should've just gone 6 weeks ago.

I don't think that was last minute. Roos called his folks prior to the trade period IIRC.

I agree that it isn't ideal but the fact remains that rarely do players go to clubs on a whim in the last few days of trade week. One exception would be Mitch Clark...

The are lined up weeks in advance and prepared and trade week is more about getting the deal done than convincing players to come.

wtf? it is somehow worse than any other player leaving any other club because the teams are from the same state? If anything it is MORE excusable because he doesn't have t relocate. I wish there was an unwritten law that no other Vic clubs could steal our players

Power and Crows hate each other more than any 2 other clubs in the country. They enjoy seeing each others team lose as much as they enjoy their own team winning.

If Tex (who is a crows favorite) went to Port they would burn his house down!!

The way I see it (not sure about GNF's mail on these details) is that our biggest rival in romancing Dangerfield would be St Kilda.

Any team would love him, especially sides of our calibre and having pick 1 and a lot of money freed up makes them a viable option for Dangerfield/Adelaide.

Barring any last minute hitch, Sam Frost will play for MFC according to his manager. The same source had not heard anything regarding the Dangerfield.

Just got told he has requested a trade following a massive offer

With Sanderson now sacked as coach [despite having two years of his contract to run], this may change a few Adelaide players ideas about whether they stay/go including Dangerfield. Let us hope that we can get a deal done!

He may fly possible suitors to Hawaii....

I'm pretty sure Roos has it under control. Or maybe you should phone him to advise him you know better?

We could get James Caan to play Roos and have him make ridiculous monetary offers to seduce people.

I can see it now,,

Sauce Dazzler?

That sounds positive if true.

Source not B Vince?

I preferred the story that you were under the family couch at the time Dazzle. Would have loved to see his father's reaction when he heard an unaccounted for "YESSSSS!!!" coming from under the furniture upon hearing Roos speak.

Thats hilarious

    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

    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. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
