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: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
