I think that has been earmarked already.

You must find this time of year interesting Red. :)

If we are interested in him (and i can't see any reason why we wouldn't) we should be using the NT links to our full advantage in trying to convince him to come to us.

Since we have not been involved in September, over the last 10 years or so, this has become a favourite time of the year for me, with all the speculating, not to mention fighting, going on here on Demonland.

Let's get Neville Jetta in front of him. This kid's got some terrific traits. Skill, good overhead, good left foot kick, has pace and loves to tackle. Terrific character as well. Ticks all of the boxes.

Has had some bad luck with injury, but has shown plenty of talent.

It would depend on the cost obviously, but I think we'd be better off with targeting Whitecross as a FA anyway, and keeping focus on Bugg & Melksham.

Would be very happy to get the above three and Kennedy & Anderson though.

i was thinking more along the lines of your background and experience. Youd have good eyes to read the nature of the circus (imho)

If he's not getting a game with Hawthorn then surely they couldnt ask more than a 3rd round pick.

If he's not getting a game with the Hawks, it makes me wonder why it's been reported that he's potentially going to head to the Eagles for 'greater opportunities.'

It defies logic to leave the top team to get more opportunities at the second top team.

A bottom 8 club is where I'd be looking..

If we're not happy giving a pick for a guy that can't break into the Hawthorn side why wouldn't we go hard after Suckling who gets a game every week, is the best kick in the comp and would cost nothing?

Malceski is far better than Suckling and look how much he struggled this year (prior to his injury especially)

I envisage a similar thing happening if Suckling were to come to the dees

I agree. He isn't the type we need.

I reckon he'll go alright with the Dogs though.

Very high on Anderson. I'd love to see him in red and blue. Would add something to the side, no doubt. He has class.

Because Suckling is probably the only running player who will go from Hawthorn's best 22 and he's in competition with Langford and Hartung for that spot.

At West Coast you could put him in the best 22 almost immediately and take out either Hutchings or Hill. Plus he'd be ahead of the grand final emergencies in McGinnity and Scott Selwood (who's gone).

As a traded in player West Coast can all but guarantee him a spot in the team without upsetting their current players, where as Hawthorn have to stay loyal to the current order of things and go by form.

Of course opportunities is almost always code for cash!

Has Anderson actually nominated a club yet which seems to be the "in" thing to do?

He should take whichever damn club will give him 22 games a year provided he works his butt off.

Otherwise he's another spoiled, entitled GenY brat, and I don't want him.

Of all the young Hawks not getting a game he is the one I would target. Has some speed and likes the tough stuff. Ticks plenty of boxes for mine, I would expect we have made an approach

I must admit to knowing little about him

Stats, for what they are worth.........averages just 9.7 disposals over his 10 games. 179 cm, 79 kgm, so not a "typical Roos mid".

Posted

Also, I bet 17 clubs will sit down with Hawthorn during the daily routine roundtable discussions this week and "show interest" in Anderson.

The real question has no answer - if an agreeable trade can be done for both parties.

    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.

    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.
