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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
