Clark Out Lumumba In is fine by me. With Mitch's foot and head issues, getting a player like Lumumba is more than acceptable IMO. We thought he was gone for nothing a few months back, and Lumumba presents a much safer bet, even if he is a bit of a loon.

Amazing amount of bile here for someone who wanted to take a moral stance about material that was clearly anti-gay. Just because you complain about such discrimination doesn't make you a 'nutter', 'sc

[censored] deal for us. Sorry but it is.

Wait for Clark to rip it up next year.

How so? Clark hasn't played a good game in over 2 years. Lumumba just finished 4th in the B&F at a club that's streets ahead of us.

I would have preferred to keep Clark but the guy is scum and Roos has made the best of a bad situation.

After today, I am fine with having Lamumba for Clark.

Less of a toss er with a stable navicular...

Honestly, that should be how we recruit these days:

Viney: "Nice to meet you kid, got some talent...so if I were to grab you here does it hurt?"

Kid: "Mr Viney, you're hurting my foot!"

Viney: "Aha! p i s s off kid. Next!"

Nasher: Toss er and p i s s o f f censored? If that is foul language then what kind of a country do we live in?

Balme saying it'll go through tomorrow, straight swap

I am making my way out of remote Africa in a few hours and not arriving back in Melbourne ( or in touch with the internet ) until Wednesday evening. I certainly hope that the trade is well and truly done by this time (in addition to the big mega trade and maybe even Frost)! Happy posting everybody until then!

Ah shame, especially given none of the other Australians living over here seem to have any interest in AFL, let alone time to indulge in pre-season rumours on Demonland...

I agree Jaded, we really should be getting a pick of some.description back as well or at least a guy on the fringe at the Cats.

I just don't think we are going to be able to do this. If we were playing NHL 98, Lumumba would be rated around 80-85, Varcoe around 75, and Clark around 90 with a bandaid next to his name. Collingwood are clearly getting the worst player in the deal and I'm sure they've already been kicking up a stink behind closed doors about improving their draft position in this trade if their Beams dealings and past history is anything to go by. I'd love to get an extra pick out of it, but it'd probably be easier if we had a pick in the 30-80 range that could be upgraded rather than just a straight pick in, but we don't.

Let's be realistic here. Collingwood can't wait to be rid of Lumumba here. They have no bargaining power whatsoever and should be happy to take what they are given. Especially given that they need Lumumba off the list to afford Greenwood.

Geelong are not the sort of team to be making speculative player trades. They are keen on Clark because they think he is mentally and physically able to play decent football for them next year. If he plays regularly, and Geelong are seemingly comfortable that he will, he is clearly worth way more than Varcoe.

Geelong need to give us something extra and I hope the club stand firm in demanding a pick.

Amazing that Geelong's announcement has Clark in a Geelong jumper, but ours has Lumumba in a Collingwood jumper. Does anybody at the club have a clue how to promote themselves?

They should have got them all to bring their original jumpers, and then just swapped them.

They've been too busy trying to photoshop Danger and Kennedy.

Well, we have Hershey Lumumbles now... The one who will have the last laugh, the one who is blessed the one who is quite mad! But Clark is gone and I no longer have to watch that guy ruin No 11 or the dees and so forth. Welcome Hairy McCleary from Donaldsons Dairy wear the Demons Jumper and play like ya mean it.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
