Curious as to why a lot of the better mail on here seems to come to us via Perth?

@Chook in Perth

 

Has reliable inside info

 

Unsure of what "personal" favours he needs to do in order to obtain said info, but he must be doing a satisfactory job.

After providing all the big breaking trade news stories before they happen you certainly deserve a weekend of leisure Ethan.

BTW just how does a high octane cutting edge journalist such as yourself wind down?

I know Chook in Perth is originally from Melbourne and his contacts are (obviously) in Melbourne also.

We got pick 3 for Frawley.  I wouldn't be whinging 

At least Frawley had runs on the board. He was an AA and whether we chose to believe it or not, a quality KPD...

You assume that he/she identifies as such. He/she may identify as gender neutral. Or gender fluid.

Still not worth pick 3

Would have been pick 19 if we won the premiership. 

I'm ok with a lower placed team getting compensation for a good player leaving. It stands to reason that they aren't very good because they have less good players. Less about what the player is worth as an individual and what the loss of that individual means to the team overall.

Of course Buddy is worth more than pick 19 in isolation, but the Hawks as a team were clearly more than capable of dealing with his loss.

Maximum compensation should be pick 11 so all the non finalists get to pick first. Ironically if that's what we got we probably would've drafted Lever! 

If the max a team could get was pick 11 then the Franklin for 19 deal wouldn't have been so bad, especially when they signed Frawley for free the next year. Frawley and 19 for Franklin isn't such a bad deal, not when you keep winning premierships!

Of course, I should have realized!

I imagine Zumba would be a little passe for you Ethan. I'm guessing a spot of pole dancing would be more to your taste.

You would be correct. I prefer to put on a Culture Club album and do a bit of interpretive dance. I’ve been known to swing around a pole every now and again and get my slide on.

    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.

    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
