And how would you feel about it if he nominated MFC?

The only way to fix this is to lengthen the first contract to 3 years. That at least gives clubs a chance to manage these players around homesickness and getting them accustomed to the clubs environment and culture.

Aish however is a different animal altogether. A South Australian boy who wants to leave Queensland for Victoria and specifically nominates Collingwood as his preferred club.

Something still isn't quite right at the Lions. Maybe Leppa himself will be the next to leave...

I think Leppa has Lethals seal of approval so may not be going anywhere soon...just mho.

But as to it all not being happy families in Lionsville id have to agree.

Still much angst it seems....hmmm

Lethal will soon lose the support of members of the losses keep mounting and the players keep leaving.

Stuff 'em. Three flags a little over a decade ago should still be enough to survive on.

I love Brisbane's stance re. Aish. Yeah so they're probably going to lose out on a second round pick but the message it sends is very strong. [censored] Aish and [censored] these other kids 'nominating' clubs after 2 years. Hope he goes to Carlton.

Would honestly really want to keep pick 6. Get someone really solid with the high 2nd Rounder we get from Suns for Howe (22). Melksham is not that guy. Redden? Lennon?

Maybe add a pick 61 to Howe bundle and try to snag their pick 19, so we can get one of those 2

So have we got the Wines for Toumpas deal over the line yet?

can't imagine lethal losing out on a player he aims for. if he wants em, he'll get em. more likely some don't measure up to what he likes, as finals type footballer characters.

Something big is brewing guys........... not PD

Next week will be big.

While I'd love to have a huge surprise I'm struggling to see us do anymore than last trade season.

A combo of Melksham/Bugg/Kennedy in line with last years Lamumba/Frost/Jeffy trades, and hope for another hidden gem of Vandenberg type. P6 taken to the draft and hope petracca comes out with similar flair to Hogan.

Anything else appears fairytale and changes week to week anyway... Prestia to Danger to Hartlett and gosh knows who else.

Fingers crossed but im satisfied with the above, not amazing but would say it's enough

Edit: forgot Garlett

Dam I thought we were after some target, Its just the guy from gold coast talking about Howe apparently. Maybe we are trying to trade him instead of wanting to keep him. Interesting.

Or BOTH! Let's speculate in Demonland fashion dazzle....

Howe, Terlich, M. Jones and our 4th rounder for Prestia, Tom Lynch, O'Meara, Ablett and Swallow.

I think we're paying overs but that's life.

and he averages <10 disposals with 5+ marks, which means apart from the big grabs he doesn't do much else for the rest of the game

i do like his marking though and his goalkick in 2015 was running at 67% (24:12)

Hogan averages a grand total of 4 more possessions a game, yet i don't hear you complaining about his lack of the ball?

First year player, great football IQ, plays at FF not in the ruck....already one of the better KPF's in the game heading toward being an absolute champion..

Yep, I can see the similarities.

    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.
