If Hogan looks like staying put, i'd certainly consider popping 1.2 mil a year under dangers nose, i know his family live close to Geelong, but 400k is 400k, especially when imo we're in a far better position list wise than the cats are.

I can see us offering $1.1M+ for Hogan over 6+ years, and comfortably beating Geelong's offer for Dangerfield.

Two swallows does not a winter make, however.

What if they're dead and lying frozen on the ground?

look Geelong may be closer in Klm's to Moggies creek, than Melbourne is, but those poor cats whiskers are seen to be old & singed, of late.

.... any-wayz, apparently Moggies creek is just 20Min's as the Crow fly's, via Helicopter !!!

as a well known heavy browed Politician has suggested.

Look, this is probably a wee bit biased and fantastical however, if I was PD and at the end of last year when the MFC came calling with a substantial contract and a really well sold strategy and picture of the list and where we're going, I would, in the best interests of the club, remain at the Crows for 2015 and not do the MFC out of draft picks. I would say, "bring that offer to me when I'm a FA and we're on."

If that was the case, PD has effectively seen the drafting of AB and CP and the blossoming career of the Hulk. It would be the sensible thing to do by ensuring the club he's heading to has gained maximum value from his move.

The MFC may have given up pick 2 and a player, or pick 12 if the Trengove trade had have transpired but the must have backed themselves to keep him. The compensation will now still be top 10 but in a shallow draft it's hardly been a good decision by them.

Who knows. I'm as hopeful as anyone else here.

He's a club changer.

I would love to have him playing for us, but I don't like the idea of selling the farm to get one player. The exception to that view would be for Jesse, who I said on here 2 years ago, after seeing him play, that he was the closest to a young Carey I had seen.

Back on point though, with a FA we are only talking salary cap space and therefore if we can balance our books and not lose anyone we want to keep, I say, sell the farm.

I'd rather he stayed at Adelaide than went to bloody Geelong.

Sick of clubs being able to prolong their time at the top thanks to free agency. It's an abomination.

Dangerfield just tweeted a message to Petracca,that Mick Dundee wants his hat back, after seeing a pick Petracca just instagrammed.

Maybe Paddy has just become friends with all the Demon boys on Instagram and Twitter for a reason.

I'm sure I'm reading too much into it though....just thought I'd pass on the info and my optimistic take anyway.

"Adelaide called. They want you back @patrickdangerfield "

Amazing!

    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.
