Not sure if you're aware mate, but recruiting decisions aren't based on a Demonland consensus.

Shut down all posts that don't have a direct line to Paul Roos, Peter Jackson or Todd Viney.

My post is an OPINION ... get it !!!

Negative. Neanderthal. Need I continue.

Not necessarily. We courted Lyons last year as well. It's only natural we'd caught him again as his situation hasn't really changed much and neither has ours. We still need more mids.

Could anyone see a Toumpas + our 4th round (59ish) for Lyons and their 2nd (30ish)?

so many people writing off Toumpas

Not writing Toumpas off - You've got to give something to get something.

He's not worth our 2nd round and hopefully our 3rd round is reserved for Stretch. Our fourth round will probably be too low at pick 60ish and we don't have many players with currency.

The deal I put forward is essentially Toumpas and steak knives for Lyon and a pick we can swap for Lumumba. Two top 25 players for one we barely saw in 2014. I'd certainly think about that deal (although I might be over-rating Lyon).

Haven't heard his name much this trade period

Has he re-signed with the Crows?

Are the Dees interested? Demonlanders seemed to be pretty keen last year and now he's available we've been pretty quiet.

Any news anyone?

He should have taken the offer up from the Dees last year. Would have played a lot of footy with us this year and a lot midfield action.

I like the idea of picking him up in the PSD unless we already have someone else in mind (Frost?).

Goodwin has come out only last week to say categorically that Toumpas is not on the trade table and is part of Melbourne's forward plans!

Signed a 2 year contract with the Crows today.

Presumably now off the radar?

I'd say so. I'm not sure how on the radar he would've been anyway. Not when we'd have to trade something good to get him. Certainly now we have the first live PSD pick we'd be chasing anyone of quality we can find out of contract to tank their negotiations and come to us. But not before.

I did really like the idea of Lyons, particularly last year. But looking deeper I'm not convinced he'd offer us anything more than what injury free Riley and Michie should offer in 2015.

He's not tall, not fast, not particularly skilled nor is he that Nath Jones or Jack Viney level of inside ball winning animal. Riley might win a clearance or stick a tackle better than him, and Viv might take a mark or kick a goal better than him.

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
