Exactly. We are in agreement then that the Mitchell trade is a smart move.

 

Read what I said Stuie, too many players for too long.

Hawthorn clearly looking out for the future here and making a shrewd decision which will pay off long term. However, you can't replace a Sam Mitchell or a Luke Hodge. They are generational players.  

Yep, can't replace them with identical players, but one way or another they're leaving soon and better to replace them with two really talented kids than two speculative late draft picks.

Ok, so you think they should keep Mitchell for one more year, miss out on O'Meara and possibly Tom Mitchell as well and then have nothing when he retires...

Good plan.

So you think the plan all along, was for Clarkson to give Mitchell the shove and the pick they get from West Coast for him would be enough to satisfy both Sydney and Gold Coast? What a genius.

You really can't comprehend this situation can you?

What's happened to that rumour? Has it gained any legs? Lewis is a sniper, but I'd take him for a year or two and then as a coach.

I doubt they'd let both Mitchell and Lewis go in the one year.

Maybe it was one or the other?

Who knows.

Interesting that Brad Crouch is being discussed by AFL.com.au as a possible swap for Gibbs. Would improve their midfield immediately.

I don't know how anyone can think this is good for Hawthorn. It looks like they will lose their best and fairest, who was on a low wage contract, for a low draft pick. And at a time while they are in the premiership window. It could well cost them a flag.

Because Mitchell was always likely to retire next year so they are able to bring O'Meara and Mitchell in.

Makes sense.

Carlton would be grinning at that. Especially at the age bracket.

As much as I enjoy everyones conversation and discussion topics here, we haven't had anyone (Or I havent seen) anyone do some really nice Hans Christian Andersen work and engineer a story here about how it is advantageous to us Demons...

I'll start...I think Jordan Lewis will come to us in a similar deal.

They should ship off a lesser player for a draft pick if they need the cap space. As I said, Hawthorn are in the premiership window and this makes them worse. The pick they get for Sam Mitchell won't be enough to help them get O'Meara and Tom Mitchell.

Query has Mitch Clarke been sacked, delisted, ?? still on list?? What??

Posted (edited)

This 'Trade Whisperer' account on Twitter is absolutely hilarious to follow. He bans everyone who questions his posts and has the maturity of an 8 year old. Don't know the validity of his claims and sources, but for what it's worth...

What would Mahoney even be talking about with other clubs this week?

Surely he can't spend the whole of trade period discussion whether Hibberd goes for a 2016 or a 2017 second rounder.

Must be more brewing...

That's already been rumoured, many pages back.

Weideman re-signs :)

Huh? That's not the news I just read...

 

Via the AFL trade updates page:

A SAM WEIDEMAN UPDATE

The young Melbourne key forward kicked two goals on debut against Hawthorn as the Demons came away with an upset win to have supporters excited. With Jesse Hogan having recommitted to the club until the end of 2019, Melbourne will have a couple of tall targets in attack over the next few years.

According to his manager Ben Williams, Weideman will target playing about 15 games next year. Last year's No. 9 pick needs to put on weight, but that has to be gradual so he doesn't break down. An iron deficiency also made it harder for him to become heavier.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
