No i have not said i want him but they discussed this on SEN about not having to throw Watts into the ruck and also giving Hogan up forward a chop out along with Gawn.

Pretty sure he is a free agent?

Bit harsh SWYL.  He played a great role in Witness for the Prosecution.  But as for the Toigs Tyrone, no thank you.

Could be a 'project' player that Goodwin works on. Good size, can take a mark and rucks better than Watts, Pedo or Dawes. Much of his inability to perform is between the ears, but is that a confidence issue or simply lack of brains?

I have some mad Richmond supporting mates that want him traded this year otherwise he'll be worth zilch next year.

Does he offer more than Dawes on the field and training track? Would he hinder the development of Weed and Hulett?

The speculative name that just wont go away. Oh, how I wish it would go away.

We already have Spencer, who is better in the ruck by a mile and not far off Vickery as a forward.

Seriously, Vickery only gets mentioned because of the Tiger's hype machine being stuck in a "sunk-costs fallacy".

Could be a handy 2 year signing if he cost us nothing.. I think we have 2 good young forwards at Casey, but they are not quite ready to play AFL yet. Our bigger bodies in Dawes and Pederson are certainly not performing. He could help to cushion the transition for Hullett and Weed and help Gawn to get forward more regularly.

Wouldn't bother with him. We need key defenders or quality midfielders. We already have some key forwards developing, and he's rubbish when he gets sent into the ruck. At 26 years old he's not worth it unless he is super cheap.

I hope that is just a throwaway line. One has kicked 154 goals at AFL level while the other has kicked 6.

He is capable of playing some good football and if he didn't cost too much (financially) I wouldn't be against it.

The first part, yes. The second I'm not so sure of LG. I think Jake is limited beyond ruck duties. Having said that I'd like to see him now get a number of senior games to look at how the two rucks combine.

Couple of years ago (when we were horrible) I went to a game against Richmond and a bloke in front of me kept giving it to Chris Dawes for being a spud. I reminded him he was no star like Tyrone. That shut him up.

They knew then what we don't need to find out.

He did have the first part correct

certainly far from our first choice fwd/2nd ruck but they dont grow on trees and tend to peak in mid-late 20's.

has averaged almost 2 goals per game over the past 3 years.  He is a  upgrade on Dawes and Pedo, that's for sure.

wouldn't rule him out if we dont have to give up much for him

The SEN discussion about Watts copping a battering in the ruck was valid. As for Vickery, he ticks all the boxes other than being able to play good football. That's a big sticking point for me.

How long until The Weed and Hughlett are ready? Another 12 months?

Cut the crap and go and get Majak Daw for two years. 

Watts plays permanently forward. Dawes to be delisted as seasons end. Daw to rotate with Gawn in the ruck 3rd fwd.

Vickery would be better than Daw

(Marginally though, they are both very orsinary)

If memory serves me correctly I think he battered for the other team!

There are plenty of tall spuds out there at the minute.  If we're going all out mentioning Vickery and Daw, why don't we chase Billy Longer from St. Kilda?  Yeah?  YEAH??

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
