It would be awesome to get Tayla back at the Dees.  I suspect Brisbane would want one of our forwards and possibly a pick in trade which could hurt, but she has so much upside and if we could sign her to a nice long contract it would be gold.

Demons make their move on Tayla Harris: 

"Melbourne look to have emerged as a serious player for Tayla Harris' services after the Brisbane Lions turned down Carlton's offer for the marquee forward".

What a great get if it happens.  Makings of a formidable forward line with Mifsud et al!  Hopefully, we can get it done for a pick rather than one of our budding or star players.

Would be a huge get. How would it work LH ? We already have 2 Marquee players, would we be able to afford her under the cap ?

I'm not sure DN9.  Not sure how many, if any 'marquee' players will be allowed for each club. 

Last year the salary for each class of player was fixed and I think it will be again this year.  The structure and figures have not been announced yet by the AFL. 

We did try and get Tayla as a marquee player last time round but she decided to play in Queensland.

Clubs are allowed to offer work and/or marketing opportunities to players so that could be an opportunity.  Certainly having Tayla on board would be a great high profile duo with Daisy from a Marketing view.

Thanks LH, hope we get her, she took the most contested marks this season and i was surprised to see she's only 20 years old. Would happily do what Carlton did last week and trade our first 3 picks to the Lions for Harris.

Got to be a player, picks mean nothing to Brisbane because they have exclusive rights to QLD and can pick player that nominate QLD.

    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. 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
