Our midfield is probably the worst in the comp, but the forward line isn't much better. St Kilda, Brisbane, WB and Carlton are on par with us, pretty much every other team has us covered though.

Probably? By a country mile.

Probably? By a country mile.

Now that Hayes is gone, St Kildas is just as bad:

Top end talent:

Montagna, Steven, Armitage, Duncan

vs

N.Jones, Vince, Tyson, Viney

Foot Soldiers:

Newnes, Savage, Seb Ross, Ray

vs

M.Jones, Cross, Trengove, Michie

Anyone not listed averaged under 15 disposals in 2014. (Weller/ Billings vs Toumpas/ Riley)

If I had to choose between the two I'd almost take the dees midfield as it stands for 2015.

Off to Carlton...

Liam Jones to Carlton by all reports to replace Waite.

Carlton really do love their mediocre trades. Seem like a club just walking on the spot.

They are running on the spot.

It's a furious status quo.

I'm not sure how anyone could watch the Sydney midfield and think that our early picks would be well spent on mids.

The simple logic is that you can find star midfielders anywhere in the draft, star key forwards are only found in the first round.

Not sure what your point is. Franklin was the best forward on the ground and his team got smashed. Roughead played well, but received plenty of support from players who weren't anything like first round picks (eg Breust). That game, like the vast majority of games, was won in the midfield. That is where we should be spending up big.

I'm really keen to see who we replace Clark as a forward/ruck option.

For Roos to not try and retain Clark indicates to me that he has something sorted.

Cameron would do nicely.

Cameron would do more than nicely. I think I'd be more excited if we picked him up than if we snagged Dangerfield.

Cameron to Saints for pick 1 if anything. It should be the only exchange of a player for a pick that GWS do this year. I don't think they should be trading anyone else away anyway but don't mind they're just playing games of collect the first pick each year

Cue gif with girl saying 'why can't we have both?' :P

    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.
