IF he's coming then its time he came out and said so. Otherwise we're start to look like second choice depending on how other things go. Time to pull the frikn trigger already. 

Could not agree more. Need to know now so we can get a trade sorted and cash ready. I personally think it will be a good combo- Weeds and Brown, Jackson and Gawn floating in forward line. Get Milkshake, Petracca and Pickett roaming around and the forward line starts to look right and the ruck has s new complexity!

Red, Blue and Brown!

You could interpret that as being a last call for bidders to try and leap frog back into contention after being told the house was on the market and above reserve price

Terrific news for Demons, will make a significant difference to forward line!

Add 40-60 goals!

HUGE get. I don’t think some on here quite realise how important this is.

For years we’ve had no issues getting it into our forward 50 but conversion has been the issue. This guy is the answer to this massive problem we’ve had.

The only query was whether he was okay injury wise but our medical team has given him the tick of approval so it’s full steam ahead.

What a signing he will be, great stuff Dees!

Great news. Now lets get the trade done for pick 23 and move on quickly.

This is a huge get for the club. He's the most productive tall forward we've had since Neitz. Even if he doesn't hit 60 goals a season again, he takes pressure off other so Weid is no longer double teamed and creates crumbing opportunities for Kozzy. Helps our forward line in many ways. Welcome Ben!

No this indeed a huge get.

Great win for us. This takes enormous pressure off Weid and Jackson.

He's out of contract so we have the power here. Pick 23 should get it done quickly.

No bending over like we did in 2017 when Lever was out of contract and we still ponied up two first rounders!

I’m delighted. If we do land that elusive flag we will look back on this moment as pivotal.

It sounds like Burgess was key to the deal so I would love to get confirmation that he is staying.

Next on my wish list - Tom Phillips

    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.

    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
