Now we will know what it is like to have a ruckman who can win a hit out.

At least we now have someone to replace Leuenberger.

Happy to get him was unlucky to be turfed last year by roos for gawn
Averaged 8 Disposals, 30 hit outs, 3.6 tackles and 1.6 marks last season
Not the worse more hitouts then we got in the whole of last season

If we beat one side this year, let it be Port with Jamar dominating.

As long as we keep attracting players and support staff from clubs with some sort of connection to Dank/Robinson then im perfectly happy.

Good news at last, this is the second best signing behind Crowley.

That second last quote. Is that correct? Surely by now even the most one eyed Essendon supporter must be wanting separation from Dank and Robinson.

Yes, I think it was more tongue-in-cheek than anything.

The Ox just reported that Port offered Jamar more money than EFC who had put a deadline on their offer.  Jamar had to accept the lower offer. 

The deadline very conveniently ended before the AFL decision on top-up players.  The 'handball' to Dillon and the other 13 clubs was simply a stalling tactic!  How contrived!!  Yep, let the cheats take the best available and b.....r the other 4 clubs!! 

I bet the AFL would have made a decision earlier and in favour of the other 4 affected clubs if one was Collingwood (Eddie would be squealing) or Carlton (we all know who the AFC Chairman played for).

Astounding. What exactly is it in the water over in Bomberland? They're all delusional.

I believe Ox's information is spot on and simply highlights the AFL's incomptence in the way it has conducted this process.

Incompetence or yet another clandestine way to help their pet club ?

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.

I made a post about this yesterday in the Gil thread. The delayed decision for all non-Essendon clubs was by design to ensure Essendon got the best available players.

I had a feeling this might be the case.

When the AFL should've come down hard on a club and made it emphatically known to all that what they did was wrong and not what the game is about, they instead nurture and go to these kinds of extremes to help said club.

It's a shock Gillon didn't set up a free hugs stand at Windy Hill the way he was carrying on in interviews when the CAS verdict came in, he was already that far in their favour.

Incompetence is far too kind a slant on this sordid episode.

Corrupt is even a bit kind, but I struggle to find a term to describe it better.

    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.
