Amazing.

What an odd day.

Equalisation: ask Eddie how he would like to punish opposition clubs and introduce it without any due diligence.

The inmates are running the asylum...

What a mess.

Just kill the COLA stone dead now.

Level playing field. All 18 clubs able to pay 100% of the salary cap (if they wish)

hardly level wyl

the cola to be replaced by afl paid rent allowance for lower paid players

Full review of all player movement from top to bottom required incorporating all matters likely to impact it from mature aged rookies to COLA . I feel if the AFL don't address the anomalies, secrecy and transparency the clocks ticking, if it isn't already.

Total farce

Middle of trade week

Told they can't trade.

Talk about making it up on the run

Sydney apparently knew about it a couple of weeks back, It's only that the media have gotten wind of it in now

DC, doesn't make sense to me either... assume it has something to do with phasing it out, and they don't want any players coming in and making use of it, and wanting them to be put onto the rent allowance scheme that is replacing it. As the existing players and their contracts expire or are renewed they are transitioned across as well.

Sydney were/are just playing by the rules the AFL created, now they are being punished for playing the game too well??? Just doesn't make sense. Sure it might even up the competition a little more, but it's a sheet message the AFL is sending the competition.

Farcical decision IMO, may benefit the rest of the league, but it still makes it no less farcical.

The Hawks have brought in just as many trades and FA recently (with less TPP's too), why aren't they being told the same thing?

No, Gerard Healy reported it "On the Couch" a few weeks back. He, Dunstall and Sheahan were in disbelief.

If the AFL have a problem this is not the way to handle it, I think they were really p...off about Buddy going to the Swans and not the Giants. Conflict of Interest/Lack of Integrity/ No balls to do the job/No transparency raises it's head again at the AFL

They are getting 800 extra in the cap next year, 600 the year after. It's hard to feel sorry for them even if these are silly conditions.

I hope the Dees go hard for Mitchell.

Offer pick 3 for Mitchell and pick 18.

They will reduce their salary cap by ~300 - 400K a year as he is replaced with a gun draftee to be put on minimum [AFL] wage.

They'll be licking their lips having Heeney and a Petracca/ Brayshaw/ McCartin (10 year prospects).

We'll have Mitchell and could pick up the likes of Cockatoo (if North don't grab him first).

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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
