The length of this add break suggests it isn't breaking news...

Col Garland may be retiring. Must have another trade brewing?

I think West Coast loses out in that trade. Ah Chee is basically nothing so I wouldn't trade 29 and 31 for 13. 

It doesn't look great for them at first blush but:

The AFL article mentions his girlfriend as a factor. Given that he’s only 21 and making career decisions around a girlfriend it may we’ll be that he’s a lunatic.

This was mentioned with lever too, just adds some weight to their excuses

Garland potential retirement on the cards.

If true, will be a sad end for another faithful servant of the MFC.  Struggled to get a game prior to the terrible ACL.  Wish him all the best for the future...

I'm a believer that the points system overrates late picks to help the academy clubs. A good pick 13 is worth those picks easily.

If you've got 10 good names on your draft board you make that deal. Shame it can't be done on draft night.

The depth of the draft pool is a factor that isn't captured in the calculator as well. That obviously varies from year to year.

If we gave up Watts 29 & 36 & took back 13 & 49, apparently that places Watts value in the deal as pick 46.

The points tally would actually have West Coast as big 'winners' in the deal.

Port are haggling over giving up a third rounder or second rounder for Ah Chee (WC value at a 4th)

I don’t ever recall us being the target of so much acrimonious vituperation over our trade dealings in any past season. I’ll take it as a positive.

The fear is real. A lot of clubs will not like us getting stronger and with greater depth.

Looks like GWS'  Matt Kennedy will go for pick 40 to Carltank, why can't we go after these players instead of selling the farm. He's shown more than Tyson at the same age and somehow we gave up pick 2 for him.

    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
