That St Kilda and Melbourne have pursued the two Jakes so strongly suggests to me that there might be a belief, at least within those two clubs, that the players will be found "not guilty" (I know that's not the actual finding, but I'm sure everyone knows what I mean). I admit its conjecture, but if the clubs had good reason to believe the Essendon players will not be punished, I would have thought not trying to procure Essendon talent would be a dereliction of duty.

nope, i'm not sure what you mean

If the AFL and Ess don't have some agreements going down (poor choice of words) I will eat my Kaspersky.

Are St Kilda and Dees patsies so far. Have clubs received documentation to help Ess out. Something like pick a player reduce the burden.

Can our new player be stopped from playing FOR US or not? Who is running the show for next year?

Our new player may be banned from playing any AFL, not matter the level or team. That includes local comps, VFL, or AFL. It is not a sanction on the club, yet, it is a sanction on the player. They may also be banned from training or having meaningful contact with the club, i.e having training routines put in place. The possible sanctions are not mickey mouse stuff, as much as the AFL would like that to be so.

This has run through my head at times when I'm trying to figure out why a club would take the risk.

No one can say whether or not the EFC players will serve suspensions so for the life of me I don't understand why we would take the risk.

There must have been some pretty serious risk analysis done by us (I would hope), would love to see it.

It may eventuate that what ever Essendon get to help them if they are missing a big chunk of their list will also be offered to clubs with EFC players on their list. i.e. we get to replace him for the suspended period with a VFL player or the like. Welcome back Magner!

I'm sure he is in the benefits column of the risk analysis.

If Jake is suspended for any length of time, is he still entitled to be paid? If so by whom, Dees or Dons?

Definitely not Dee's.

For some cheap laughs, put some phrases through google translate (any language) and then translate them back into English.

Pick 25 for a player who could potentially miss the next 2 years of competition.

A huge risk. I hope a plan B is part of the deal if a verdict of guilt is given

It is a disgrace that ANY Essendrug player was able to enter in to any trade deals.

Means only that Essendrug wash their hands of responsibility one by one....

The AFL already has a suitably opaque policy around the provision of Priority/compensation picks.

The only example they have given is following the death of a player. It doesn't take too much to extend that scenario to a player unavailable for 2 years.

nudge...nudge...wink...wink.....

When in doubt, just copy it to Google search ('the disease worsens with the treatment' - Virgil). If it's not an obscure or vernacular or other expression that escapes the kinds of school level Latin dictionaries some of us still have lying around then Google might at least direct you to some vulgar or salacious site (highly likely where Biff is involved, I presume).

The Urban Latin Dictionary is a real opticus overta.

    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
