i don't see why we can't have both kelly and lever. dorks got mitchell and o'meara when it looked like they had little to play with.

What about Lever and Rockliff instead? As scrutinised as he has been, he still is a pretty decent player. Its just whether or not he could fit in with us anywhere i guess. For some reason i feel as though he could be a more realistic chance to be ours, if he were to nominate us.

i'd also go for one of the swans excess tall 2ndruck/fwd's. they can't use all of tippett. reid, sinclair and maybe alir alir.

we desperately need a good rotation for maxy who can play tall fwd

i wouldn't be averse to rockliff either. he is 28 in feb, although not too old but getting close

The advantage of Tippett is that you can make the Swans pay the majority of his salary

The disadvantage for Tippett is that he's still Tippett...at his best a seriously good player and at his worst not quite as bad as Vickery...not quite

I have no idea on contract status but I would be looking at Aliir and Mcstay.

Rockliff could still have another 4 years of solid ball left in him, as long as we didn't give up too much then it'd nearly be rude not to have him. Same as Tippett, although he's probably a bit too inconsistent for me. His potential is intriguing but in reality, I don't think he'll work out for anyone. Reid and Aliir YES & YES

Rockliff was on the table apparently last year and no one bought. Also a Rumor thread on DL that he was a done deal as a Demon. Now articles all year about his new coach love affair with Fagan, seems utterly pointless to bring up Rockliff again?

Mcstay is, ahem, Mcstaying at the Lions for another 2 years, signed a new deal less than a month ago.

Rockliff and C you next Tuesday are often used in the same sentence

Jake lever and Zak jones would be a dream result if we could pull it off.. 

 

jones would add pace and precision and lever would be a rock in our backline for a decade

Stop it. STOP IT.

Actually. A few months ago I spoke to his juniors coach at Rovers. A bloke named Tim. Bit of a character, so take it for what it's worth... but the more beer me and my old man plied him with the more gossip he threw our way about the demons. He spoke about Hunt (fast but sprays it), Salem (skilled and good player but lacks ticker for the contest), and Brayshaw (lost count of the amount of times he carried him off the ground with concussions)... At this point I put it to him he likes finding the negative about players. He agreed, and said he does go straight to what can go wrong with them. Old habit of a coach. Then he threw in that they have another kid in the group he said he can't find anything wrong with at all. Kelly.

How crazy is it that all 4 grew up together and now all four are some of the most sought after talent in the AFL.

Was just a thought, stranger things have happened. But wasn't he saying not long ago he'd do whatever was in his and his family's best interests? Whatever that means I guess

I know, right? To his credit he did claim only what he saw as a junior. Not as an adult. Said that he could improve in that area easily.

Tim sounds like a drunken idiot. 

Drunken, certainly. You can blame me for that. But no idiot. Why the cheapshot? Seems accurate given each players' draft positions.

I'm curious. For those with the patience to venture onto opposition fan-sites, which Demons players have sparked 30-page discussions on their potential poaching? Probably not 30 pages, but I'd be interested to hear in general who opposition fans think they can prise free, the currency suggested, and their perspective on these players as compared to our own.

I don't have the patience for it, but at a guess I'd say the Freo boards (if such things exist) would have been frothing with Hogan talk before he re-signed.

They absolutely were.... many thought it was a done deal... First rounder and change was the general consensus.

Rockliff also doesn't like the Dees apprently. We supposedly promised him a rookie spot and took Jurrah instead at the last minute....

Petracca, Viney, Hogan, Gawn and OMac

pies fans are 100% convinced Petracca is on his way there..... given he supported them as a kid. lolz

After Oliver's amazing season, you'd think it would be him. But apparently Tracca is the one they all want.

And Petracca looks as happy a player at his club as I've ever seen.
And I couldn't be happier.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
