We must have at least $1.7m in the salary cap with Frawley and Clark both gone. We were already only paying the minimum cap.

Pretty sure the bold drafting from the Lions has been a result of throwing around some big ticket contracts and seeing what bites. About time we do the same. Put a few $550k 4 year contracts under their noses and we'll see how much they want to stay in western Sydney.

I'd be putting 650k five year deal under Treloar's nose...

That's right...the tables are turning since they did it to us with Scull dog.

If Adelaide were even to entertain a trade, the way the EBA structured with the AFLPA and the AFL the player has to agree to the trade also. And why would Dangerfield agree to come to Melbourne over Geelong or Hawthorn? He had the option to go Geelong 3 or 4 years ago on a huge contract when he first came out of contract and knocked them back to resign with Adelaide. And he's a Geelong Falcons product. Could have been a premiership player already if he wanted to come back to Vic.

Won't be going anywhere.

Well Adelaide weren't exactly the worst side 3 or 4 years ago

You gotta wonder if this sudden change of heart about taking picks 2 and 3 to the draft is because the Saints told us they're taking McCartin?

When is this [censored] going to put on his red socks and blue jocks.

Maybe we are warming to McCartin? I like Dawesy, don't get me wrong, but perhaps they've realised that he's just not that good?

Sounds like an immature passing comment, but really, Hogan and McCartin would set up our attack for the next decade with two guys that have the potential to be 50+ goal per year forwards.

Dawes will never be that type of player. Would be a good enforcer whilst the young blokes learn the craft though.

Wonder if Taylor prefers Wright or McCartin...

Agreed, or we have got wind that the GWS & Saints trade won't happen now and we already knew the Saints would take McCartin if the kept the #1 pick

McCartin seems the safer bet, but Wright has the potential to fit our structure better as he can play ruck, too. Think Kurt Tippett.

McCartin is the more typical power forward in the Hogan/Dawes mould.

Personally wouldn't mind either, Wright is a better kick and is quick for a big bloke, but there's question marks over his competitiveness/hardness.

Well Mahoney did come out and say it after the Griffen story broke, so the club must have reconsidered their options.

GWS won't be able to get pick 1 if they give pick 4 to the Bulldogs for Griffen.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
