It's not the first time I've heard of Higan going home for family reasons, when I mentioned it a week or so back I was nailed to the cross. You can't blame the kid, big loss for us IF it happens.

I understand what you're saying, but it seems that Hogan really loves the club. We have supported him enormously through what has been presumably the toughest year of his life and I can't see us involving him in a trade unless he requested it, which I don't think he has. He seems like a quiet and reserved guy and it is probably for this reason the 'homesick' stigma is so frequently attached to him. But I think Hoges loves it at our club and has some great friends in people like Brayshaw, who also has had an incredibly tough year. 

I just don't see the club getting Lever via a trade involving Hogan - particularly given we just resigned him at the end of last year's season.

I Have NOT once said Hogan doesn't love the club. Nor can I remember saying he would be involved in the Lever trade. All I said was I wouldn't blame him if he did go home. Also all I said was it's not the first I've heard of it, plenty of talk out there about it. Use someone else for target practice lol

Not sure Freo would have room in their cap to fit Hogan in - they've just re-signed Fyfe to a mega deal, and they're currently in the process of re-signing most of their young crew. From a selfish POV it would suit Hogan (if he were to go home) to go to WC where he could play second role KPF to Kennedy for a couple of years instead of being dropped into the [censored] truck forward line of Kersten and MacCarthy

Talk on SEN of Max about to ink a long term contract which is good. Slowly tying up all the loose ends and I don't believe Jesse is going anywhere. The one player I haven't seen signed up is Alex Neal-Bullen who has slotted into the mid field and plays his role. Does anyone know his contract status? If he is returning to S.A. will he be part of the deal? We have already got his best mate Billy Stretch contracted for 2 years and am surprised Nibbler isn't.

Gawn a free agent or out of contract next year yeah? Hope all of our younglings listened to Lewis when he was preaching about taking pay cuts to stay together.

Crows are in more [censored] than a Werribee duck, arrogant wankers but I suppose it has worked for them. Hope they also lose a few other. 

Crows have lost more than their fair share over recent years

Word is Lever is torn between playing for Adelaide and living in Melbourne. The club is all over him like a rash but much water must flow under bridge

Reports are the the Dorks are chasing him, replacement for Gibson just as they covered Lewis and S Mitchell with Mitchell and Jaegar.

How the hell do you kill this club in the modern era where they just keep cherry picking top talent based on their recent, past success to fill holes?

The poos and wees have no draft picks to use in a trade, they'd have to trade players. Can't see it happening.

Also, they are required to use 2 x first round picks in any 4 year period. When did they last use one?

Maybe they've been priming Sicily in the intercept marking role this year to offer as a trade with other picks and a midfielder.

Salem appears to me to be completely overrated on here

I am waiting to see what all the fuss is about 

Needs to do more and take a big step in consistency for mine 

Fancy others in his position

 

Agreed. Far too inconsistent for all the acolades he gets on here. 

Yes he is a good kick, but that is of no use if he is not on the ground

What accolades are these?

Many on here consider him elite, a word that is often over used

I doubt it's many, and most would simply rate his kicking as elite, which it is.

Good to see you still can't get over his suspension either.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

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.
