Nathan Hrovat will be a Demon this trade period. 3 year deal @ 300k per Source - Board member of one of the clubs involved (not MFC)

I like! Hope your source is good HH.

All of a sudden HH has board members coming out of his wazoo! Said the same in the Dangerfield thread.

And the Adcock thread.

Clearly the destination club now. lol.

HH obviously had Barrett like sources. Just make enough plausible deals up and surely at least one will be true!

Judging by the different font I'm guessing he's copy and pasted it from somewhere, maybe the facebook trade rumours group.

I'd much prefer Hrovat to Melksham FWIW.

Well spotted, has a slightly grey background to it.

I'd rather take a half eaten pack of Twisties than Milkman.

Technically speaking we're all members of a Demons "board". Myself personally, I'm also on the board of multiple clubs over at Big Footy.

Is it a silent H? As in row-vat. Seems awkward to pronounce. Other than that I'm keen.

Really like this kid - this would be good get.

Agreed - though could be a very good get. But he's also rated highly at the Bulldogs, so some work to do.

Have read mutterings about salary cap pressure, so perhaps that'll help if the deal is right. If it's possible, this is one that could depend on other trades, especially Stef Martin. If he gets to Footscray, which is what's being discussed, they may have to make some space in their cap.

But as always at this time of the year ... who knows what's really going on. Perhaps we'll do next to nothing all trade period and land O'Meara on the last day.

If we're offering Melksham 1.6 over 4, i'm assuming the offer to Hrovat is 9.8mill over 7 years...

Its funny - on two different pages on facebook one guy with 'inside sources'said this guy had issues with McCartney then the next page a guy said the opposite.

I dont doubt hh's sources because in my walk of life in the last five years independently ive come in to contact with the best mate if an mfc player, the cousin of an mfc listed player and ive known other people with loose connections for a while.

Problem is what is let slip to you is often flavoured by misconceptions, old info and opinion ive found.

I don't rate Hrovat. His in the same pile as Michie Newton and Riley for me.

well those two werent ever rated nearly as high as he is..

Techinically it's a harsh 'H' - like the Scottish 'ch' (e.g. Loch Ness). It's an archaic/alternative spelling of 'Croat'.

Most commentators use a regular English 'H'. As for how the man himself pronounces it, dunno. I guess we wait for the inevitable question from Burgo in his first interview (if we recruit him).

I'd much prefer 6 - 9 list changes, so I think we could fit both of them into our list.

Hopefully he doesn't full asleep by the time Burgo finishes the question and we can all find out. Edited by Forest Demon

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
