Does anyone know the contract status of Jayden Hunt. I think he's out of contract and if they wanted him you'd have expected him to have signed along with White, Stretch, ANB and King.

What are people's thoughts?

Assume he is OOC since he was drafted in '13, haven't seen him at all, but sounds like he's delist material despite battling injuries, maybe a rookie spot, was very left field at the time.

I was trying to be discrete. I meant Carlton's most recent Senior Coach who was previously the senior coach at three other clubs and holds the record for most senior games coached.

No, I need more. First name starts with ?

Ben Lennon ?

if your referring to Tyson, then a trade of an established Mid, for a potential? I'd say if Tyson is unhappy, then trade for Lennon + pick as well, to cover the risk.

Can do some special stuff, but only gets it 9 times a game.

But there's talent there.

Conundrum.

give yourself a rest DH.

If a player (Tyson) wanted out, after 2 seasons, it might be a good move to sell high.

.......... if we could get a pick for him, from the Saints @ 5, or the Pies @ 7, we would surely have Curnow? & Weideman? covered.

would be super disappointed if we finished the trade period with our best recruits being Bugg, Kennedy and Melksham. Go big. Try get a steal with a 2nd round a pick. Someone with blistering pace as an outside mid, or A 2nd forward who comes up the ground. Someone with elite skills and speed coming off half back (even though Salem plays that role)

Lol boy aren't you going to be super disappointed!

As Josh Mahoney said we aren't exactly a destination club atm. What those players bring is super competitiveness and upgrade of depth. We will improve with these guys next year i have no doubt. Don't forget we will still have pick 6 and going by Jason Taylor's record he will land an absolute beauty.

Have faith in our recruiting team.

If we landed all three of Bugg, Kennedy and Melksham and managed to keep our first round pick, I'd be very happy. Those three are into our best 22 immediately and therefore, improve the depth of the entire list.

I am also very confident we'll improve. Pushing for finals in 2017 i reckon. Maybe even next year. Who knows. I know I have probably mentioned it so many times. At the time being our midfield is a little raw with Vince and Jones carrying the lot having to go against the Fyfe's, the Dangerfields, Hannerbery's and Mitchells. If you look at our list our midfield has massive potential to be a superstar midfield in 3-5 years with Viney, Petracca, Vandenburg, ANB and Brayshaw on the inside, with Tyson, Salem, Stretch on the Outside. Not to mention Gawny serving the pill on a platter to them. Combine that group with the likes off Tmac, Omac, Frost, White and Jetta down back along with Hogan, Garlett, Kent (Insert 2nd forward here), and we have got the potential to be a super team in a couple years

But tbh, i'd rather pair pick 22 (from GC for Howe) with a player to get someone like Sam Reid.

Prepare to be super disappointed Demonlads.

We ain't gunna get an A grader unfortunately.

We would all like to pair up our top picks and land a big fish mate, but the reality is that most, if not all, are off the table. Guys like Hartlett and Parker have either re-signed or signalled an intention to do so, while others like Dangerfield and Treloar have said they want to play at other clubs.

If there is no big fish out there this year then the club needs to pour it's energy into improving the list in the best way possible so we are well placed in 2016 and 2017 to make a play for a bigger name. If there is nothing out there this year then there isn't much we can do about it.

are there any 2nd string forwards we may/should look at?

Posted (edited)

If we're unable to find an A grader to trade our first pick on, then I'd be happy to take it into the draft. Although it's a shallower draft than previous years there's still plenty of talent that'll be recruited in the first 15-20 picks.

Tyson is our best inside mid...

I'd have some degree of satisfaction knowing we have cleared some who were just Xmas decorations, for the past few years.

I'd still like to see MJ & Terls moved along, & Dawes traded.

think I'd still like to see Fitz Re-rookied, if nothing else comes along.

Agree we need to build more.

Fingers crossed that Trengove gets back.

Petracca on field is a gun.

That's "two recruits" (say our prayers).

Aim for 10 wins minimum in 2016.

Then bring in Prestia and finals IMO in 2017.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
