Essendon have sent pick 62 to GWS for Giles.

Why on earth do we spend 5 years developing Spencer when you can bring in a much better, mature ruckman with a pick in the 60s?

Talk about clogging a list.

That is exactly why Roos doesn't take big guys in drafts.

This is the biggest week for the MFC since the 2000 GF. I have been muted so no names will be mentioned, but if all goes to plan we will end up with 2 A Graders plus pick 2. The 2 players would enter

"black and white..." Hmm lets think about this. Title of a famous song by Michael Jackson who was also black and white. Michael Jackson was born on the 29th of August 1958... 29/8/1958... 2+9+8+1+

I'd be happy to offer up Grimes as a sweetener. Maybe package him with 23 and see what clubs are willing to bite. Richmond or GWS could be interested.

That's a steal.

Massive steal. Would've done pick 23 for Giles + Frost.

Still doesn't help our midfield stocks but at least we'd have a fallback plan if Jamar starts the year injured yet again.

GWS may deal now that Ryder deal is over.

Hopefully we package a better deal for them than the Saints

The Bombers receive pick No.62 along with Giles and send pick No.53 to GWS.

It's almost a fait accompli that GWS will offer picks 4 and 6/7 to Saints for pick 1.

Or maybe picks 6 & 7, and hold on to pick 4, so they can get Petracca AND a key tall to replace Boyd. Saints would obviously argue for the former.

I am very very surprised we aren't pushing hard for Mitch Hallahan...

Happy to be proven wrong but it almost appears like we went incredibly hard at the one target, and when that collapsed we were too far out of the game to go after anyone else. Plenty of decent players (NB: none 'great') have moved clubs this year for picks worse than what we're still holding on to. Really frustrating.

I expressed the very same elsewhere the other day.. Would be better than half a dozen of our current lot youd think... Be a little improvement to the list...ah well.

Running out of time so you would have to hope that Saints say we are keeping pick 1 and can't get Membrey. That would make GWS look at us for any deal which could also clean up Frost.

If we want Lever we need to get 4 plus a v good player from GWS for our 3 (+/- steak knives) otherwise Coll will probably take Lever with 5.

Even more of a steal.

They've slid back 9 spots from 53 to 62 and are getting a mature ruckman that I personally think is a better player than Jamar and Spencer.

I just can't understand the Spencer project.

We could probably swap 3 for 4 if they throw in Frost, but pretty pointless.

At least it frees up pick 2 in the PSD for us though. Actually works against GWS to do that though, so they're probably happy to let Frost slide.

Exactly how can you be proven right or wrong on this ?

Really frustrating....

Why would GWS give up a very good player for a one pick upgrade when the guy they want will be gone at pick 1?

They also need talls to replace Boyd. They can get the best two if they deal. One is a Boyd type and the other a strong KPF.

    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
