Apparently Josh "Superman" Mahoney will be on SEN in the next 15 to 20 minutes.

I'm at dinner* so reports would be appreciated.

* I could listen in on my iPhone but knowing she who must be obeyed the thing might end up in my soup :wub:

Haha. I wonder if this thread will be as wild as the other one.

Go Josh (and the team you are a mouthpiece for which would include Viney and Taylor)! I never doubted you.

I just want him to be honest with us. (Followed by an eye roll)

Adding surety to what we get at 3 and then again with 7.

We should bring in two potential A grade players.

Really impressed with Tom - super competitive, great runner, midfield and down back. We think him coming in help our young group of guys.

We have a bit of work to do on who we pick; could be tall and a mid, two midfielders.

Fitzy - Hawthorn wanted to get the deal done, they wanted it done now so they gave us pick 94 so they could get them today instead of in the next 10 days.

Mahoney wants to go home and not worry tomorrow but thinks he'll get some calls about the picks.

Tell her you're looking up holiday destinations where you might take her.

And if those calls are compelling, we should deal! Someone else raised it on another thread I think, but would we entertain Essendons top 2 picks for ours?

I would if the bombers are hellbent on landing Parish

I don't get why, we can take the best midfielder and 1 KPP (hopefully Curnow).

It is clear that GC are looking a bit outside the box, if be thinking Milera but who knows.

Essendon will take Francis and one other so we will still have our pick! I think

It would appear that the footy dept achieved exactly ALL of its trading targets.

Turns out we played the 'academy draft points' game better than any other club.

Turns out we got all of our trade-in player targets at appropriately low cost.

Turns out we did manage to line up pick 3 to target the player we've obviously identified long ago, despite Howe being a [censored] goblin.

Turns out we could get ourselves a second top-10 pick (lucky 7, too!), and made sure we could pick up one of the multiple good tall forward options available.

Overall movement;

In - 3, 7, Kennedy, Bugg, Melksham

Out - 6, 25, [First rounder 2016], Howe, Toumpas

It's a nice move to trade forward a year, too. Gives the additional gun kid a year of being Roos-ed.

Who would have thought the word "hob" would be censored.

I don't know why he even comes out to say that. I get that it's a bargaining chip and he's just playing the game but at the same time, don't put yourself in a corner. At least say, "I would think 3 and 7 are untouchable" and then if asked if they would be traded for the right deal, "Well it would need to be a pretty special offer."

If Sydney offered us Kennedy for pick 3 and, say, Watts + 43, we'd have to take that.

Reckon Kennedy too old to waste pick 3 on, he's 27 with 3-4 good years left

    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.

    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
