I'm not sure what I'm allowed to cut and paste, but the thrust of it is that we're targetting Frost to replace Frawley, and he wants to come home. No mention at this early stage of what we'd offer.

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE GAVE AWAY GYSBERTS AND DOWNGRADED PICKS FOR THIS "PEDERSEN" GUY ...sorry, wrong year.

I used to think Demonland was a footy forum but now I realize it's more a comedy forum where footy is occasionally discussed - certainly it's a secondary consideration. Some time ago I started to rea

I don't understand how some posters think that St Kilda was playing poker and we blinked. What did St Kilda have to gain from that? Their position is not improved by forcing us to trade for Frost. Th

Just spoke to my original source who said that this Sam Frost trade will happen barring any left field offers. eg At the last minute Tyson Goldsacks' girlfriend(and her parents) has declared she wants to return to Adelaide and apparently he had agreed to stay at Collingwood but had NOT signed yet, so that deal is all up in the air all of a sudden. Will post some other stuff that was mentioned on the main trading thread

Heard the same thing about Frost today from a credible source

Also heard we're in Toby Greene's ear in a big way

No surprise but Frawley is gone and compo pick is coming

Stating the obvious I know but you'd imagine GWS will be looking to package Frost with a player to get their hands on pick 2/3.

They would have no interest in a 4th round draft pick for Frost given they wouldn't even use it on draft day.

Would also make sense that Toby Greene would be the one shopped given his off field issues and stand-off with the club when he got suspended.

Pick 3 for Greene, Frost and a 2nd round pick?

I think it's a good move to chase him as a direct replacement for Chip. Clearly the club weren't too pleased with Georgiou's second half of the year and feel we need further re-inforcements, which is fine by me.

anyone seen him play?

I saw some GWS games this season but didnt notice him, which isnt a bad thing of course

Was taken pick. 1 in the Rookie Draft in 2011 I think.

Seen a bit of him. His brother is Jack from Collingwood.

Similar to McDonald. Very athletic and fit for his size and can play forward.

Doesn't have the greatest foot skills but has a lot of desire.

Overall good pick up for our backline.

Not sure they'd even use pick 57 in the draft?

Don't GWS and GC have to trim their list over the coming years?

Don't think they'd want to delist one of their many top 20 kids to use pick 57 in an ordinary draft.

They have to trim their list by 2 this year. If O'Rourke, Jaksch and Frost leave and they don't bring in replacements they will need a minimum of 4 picks at the draft. Considering they currently have (assuming Frawley compo) picks 4, 21 (end of 1st compo), pick 24 and 41, plus likely first rounders for Jaksch and O'Rourke they probably won't use it.

Doesn't mean they wouldn't do the trade though - they don't get anything, but they help the player get where he wants to.

Frost can be steak knives if we swap pick 3 for O'Rourke and Jaksch. A Win-Win all round!

His brother has been impressive at Collingwood. Hope he can be the same.

People are stoked with Frost, but not happy with Lumumba. I don't get this place anymore, i think i need to go and join 'Ology or Big Footy. i'm done.

For the record, i am happy with both players.

Go over to that other thread and count how many posters are not happy with HL.

And then look at how many have since recanted, or pulled back from their unhappiness.

HL gets a lot of unwarranted nonsense thrown his way, he also gets some warranted nonsense...

Sit a poster down and smack them in the face and tell them HL is coming and they will be happy he is.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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
