Reading between the lines.

Interest in Howe from others (multiple) I think gone.

No interest in Watts

Active in chasing Freeman and Bugg

Very active in chasing everyone, but every club is

Toump all but gone, he wants out but club see potential and would keep him

Garland to be announced as staying in coming days.

I think you mean Kennedy.

Chris, just to clarify, do you mean Howe is gone or the interest in him from others has disappeared?

Lots of interest and Howe gone (although he did say he may still stay)

Posted

I think you mean Kennedy.

Yep, whoops.

Posted

Petracca- Will be right to go by round 1. The way the question was asked it was implied that he may not. However he said Christian will be ready.

Posted

Still hopeful on Prestia but the club has resigned themselves to leave it for this year.

Posted

Really glad to hear the club still has faith in Jimmy.

He may have a better chance of being a part of our developing midfield than try to break into an 'established' group at Port.

Dion Prestia- Have interest in him. makes it difficult as he is contracted. Probably sit on it the moment and wait till next year (uncontracted)

Dions family are Melbourne supporters

Second part of the interview

Josh on coaching:

Want the Roos/Goodwin transition to be seamless

Wants Goodwin to take more charge at training

No future role for Roos

Club is at where they expected, in regards to on field

Finals next year is the plan

Club is 'in the picture' more so in regards to trading players to the club

Players that they trade/recruit need to be 'competitors'

Petracca will be ready to go round one

Prestia: Fact that he is contracted means that it would be difficult to get him this year. However, the door is not closed. Family has been a part of coterie so there is a link to the club.

Bennell: Dees not interested. 'Put a line through his name'

Bennell not coming to the dees, has been ruled out.

I like Mahoney, seems a straight talker.

Thanks guys. Melksham Kennedy and Bugg don't fill me with confidence though. Looks like we are just going for fringe players from opposing teams and not being to aggresive this year

Chris did mean Kennedy, I didn't think Freeman was named... just checking.

Thrilled about Garland

Totally underwhelmed by the rest

A typical one-eyed supporters response.

'Thrilled' at the thought of keeping an underachieving and terribly inconsistent senior player and 'underwhelmed' at potentially picking up three players who will without doubt help the depth of the list and are upgrades on those who have been delisted, thus improving our side overall.

Really pushing the foresight boundaries there.

If Carlton get first rounders (as they are asking) for Henderson and Yarran, then some supporters here should raise their asking value for the likes of Howe and a couple of others.

its carltons arrogance, they always overvalue their own, & look down their nostrils at others until they wear navy blue.

its the same neurosis that caused them to get into their own culture quagmire. they've become inbred.

Couldnt agree more!

We're targeting A-graders too, but due to our list profile, i.e. talented youth, we have to be careful not to overpay. We're also not presently a destination club, although managers have more interest in talking to us than 2 years ago.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
