Taylor Hunt gone too, but not announced because they want a trade.

Schroder and Burbury will find their way to a new club.

We could do alot worse than signing either of them even if it is to provide depth.

I know from the few afl games I saw schroder play, he was used as a small forward rather than inside mid which he was drafted as. Obviously it is near impossible to slot into the Geelong midfield but he could add a bit of depth to both our small forward/mid stocks.

No for me almost in principal....

They're chasing players who we're trying to keep (Frawley and MC) and we take their scraps?

I think many Geelong supporters hadnt seen a lot of Schroeder but were basing their expectations on him winning the Liston.

To their own peril.

If anyone ever mentions the Liston and how they believe a certain player will be a gun based on winning it, I always reply:

"Paul Johnson won a Liston trophy." The conversation doesn't go much further after that.

We gave pick 17 for Bizzell which turned out to be James Kelly.

Who's laughing now.

Bizzell was a very good player for us and a cornerstone of our strong(er) sides of the mid 00s. Clearly Geelong were better off in the long term, but it was never intended to be a long term decision. I'm pretty comfortable with it.

And if we used pick 17 we would have picked Daniel Elstone 0 games pick 20 Hawthorn

Don't forget delisted Shane Valenti... He also won that prestigious honour!!!!

The bottom teams get the top teams duds and the top teams get the bottom teams champs.

That's equalization at its worst, doesn't the AFL want an equal competition?

What the afl say they want to what the afl actually delivers are two different things.

If the afl wanted equalisation the MFC would have received a priority pick. They would restrict free agents from going to top 4 sides, etc etc etc

Schroder for sure. He is the best player in the AFL not getting a game.

Goalkicker. Inside mid. Good skills. Smart. Tough. Just behind too many at Cattery.

Really?? The Cats this year are chronically thin in that area at the moment

Remember Spangher was delisted by west coast. Look at him now.

Would just be a good honest goer in our team, they have enough players with real skill who can kick and cover. We don't.

Schroder's a yes for mine. Guy can play but stuck behind superstars. Would be up against Michie for that fringe spot.

Burbury...ehh. Medium forwards lost their lustre for mine after we had that magnificent forward line of Bate, Dunn and Miller.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
