I don't think he's worth signing at his age. I've watched him really slow down the last few years. He used to have decent 20-50m pace with leads and obviously has the strength in one on one contests but I don't think he's going to come back to the form he showed a few years back.

The entire club is pre/post camp fiasco effected YB.  What's been leaked so far is just the tip of the iceberg.

I reckon he'll get somewhere back to pre-camp form with a fresh start wherever he ends up.

Bruce has pretty much committed himself to the Dogs.

It would be a tough gig trying to extract him out of that commitment (and please don't raise J. Elliott because not everyone in the world is J Elliott).

I can think of 4 people we could use at FF. TMAC, Wiedeman, Petty and J Smith. Why do some people think that a 31 year old very ordinary player even on play lunch money could be a benefit for us. We may as well recruit Menzel as well to blob around jenkins and our forward woes will be fixed for ever..

Those four played 36 games for 35 goals.....Jenkins scores 22 goals from 11 games.

They will if he is super unhappy AD.  Toxic to a new coach trying to start afresh with a relatively clean slate.

I get that, and am all for getting him. However all this screams way too good to be true about his supposed wage. The fact that no one has even remotely had a nibble at him leads me to believe theres a lot more to this than meets the eye

There is much we don't know that may be happening behind the scenes AD.  I suspect a couple of issues at AFC's end  however....

1.  It is potentially in a bit of disarray and a conundrum with regard to the number of players looking to move on and how they will trade/draft to cover them.  Let alone the amount of man hours they need to sort it all which might be slowing their whole process down.

2.  The willingness of JJ to alter/adjust his own contract to accommodate potential suitors complicates things a little, adding time/length to any discussions.

Compounded, those two add up to reasonably sluggish talks/negotiations vs more standard dealings.

Also if we are in to Bruce or Gunston and with Gunston a Frosty twist, they might need to play out prior to serious focus elsewhere such as JJ.

Completely agree with all of that. Looks like a fall back plan if we cant do any better. I hope we're really into Gunston as part of the Frost deal, could get at least 3 solid years out of him.

Dropped several times

He works for SEN SA and apparently he was the one leaking info on the happenings at the Crows in 2019 to Carro via his boss Hutchy .

Hence the reason for getting dropped twice and he also jarred his knee really badly was out for a prolonged period.

He was dropped after kicking 9 goals in 3 games on two seperate occasions. Rumours around him leaking stories to the media and some kind of verbal fight with Pyke would explain being dropped while in form. The club is a rabble.

I'm with you on Gunston AD.  Very mobile / clever foward and his experience might even help our flailing forward line to organise a tad better and sort things especially in the post runner era.

Would bring some much valued craft from the Hawk's system.

Any which way we def need a big bodied or clever mobile forward to add some insurance and extra goals in 2020.

Conor Nash for Frost. That is my aim. 

What do you see in Nash? He's big and athletic but 11 goals in 19 games, only ever kicked more than 1 goal once and rarely cracks double figures in disposals. I'm not sure he's going to be a successful project and if he is I'd imagine it might take another couple of years at least and be as a key defender.

Sounds like figures the Weid puts up.

    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
