Can't see how a trade could be orgestrated for Martin. 

As for Deludio the Tigers list is in terrible shape so they'll be looking at picks and are in a position to pay a good portion of his salary. 

Gold.

What the feck are teachers getting paid for these days?

Yes, he meant orgystrated. Which reminds me. It's half time. I must check what's on SBS

Hanley wouldn't be a bad pick up considering we need a bit of pace off half back. 

Really? Hunt not quick enough? We have more than enough HBFs

Hoskin-Elliot anyone?

Had a good couple of year early on from memory. 

I'm a fan. Not getting a regular game at GWS is no crime given how much talent they have up there. I'd be thrilled if we could get him in.

Amazing how GWS have all these blokes in the 2's that can't get a game. They'll get decent draft pics for these blokes and continue to pick up more talent.

I recall a couple of us advocating a big push for Zak Jones, when he wasn't getting games at the Swans. Too late now.

Zak Jones is a reasonable player but not much to get excited about.  Hunt, Salem, Jetta, Hibberd, probably Melksham all have him covered.

Fair call, Hunts a jet but we could do with another quick. 

 

Nup I beg to differ, if the right trade came up I would part with him! Brayshaw that is!

Jeez people on here overrate Melksham. What are his credentials as a backman?

Very small sample size, but he played off half back in the last half dozen games of 2015 and did quite well. Goodwin recruited him to fill a half back role off the back of these games.

We need more long term guaranteed best 22.  We don't need more Bugg or Kennedy or slightly better versions of them.  We need very good players who will push Vandenberg and Garlett down to depth.  We should be chasing Mitchell and Hartlett.  We have enough talented youth coming through.  I'd be happy to put next year's 1st on the table.  It's self-fulfilling, with Mitchell and/or Hartlett in our team we finish higher.

I am not a fan of Kennedy. Don't see him lasting long with us.

Redleg,I am not convinced we can give away a first round pick two years running and if you could it would be like a dog chasing its tail. The important thing is to recruit two delisted  experienced players out of Scott Thompson,Harvey and Petrie. Lets not get on the too old, too slow bandwagon,Harvey will get more Branlow Votes than most Dee players.We need to get another Hunt and a ready to go young guy to play ruck/forward or we turn O'Mac into that kind of player. We also need a CHF and a CHB. Regarding BUGG and KENNEDY we need to step them which could be done  via physical training or whatever. Duryea of Hawthorn took 4yrs to become a regular player.Recruitment is important to get the right people.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
