Add Cameron possibly

This Trade Period is going to be huge. 

Get down and dirty Demons

Get what we need to improve

The Flag window is open and anyone who doesn’t subscribe to that is a fool. 

Rich...Sorry Ninthmond had a young side on Saturday. 

The key is belief...

Not having a shot but i don't get why people don't want GWS to thrive.

Once the decision was made to go down that path (and leaving aside the debate about the merits of that decision) it became critical that GWS succeed. Huge challenge to do so in that market but the AFL have committed for the long haul and if the GWS don't get embedded and achieve sustained success they will be a massive drain on the rest of the competition for decades. 

The other issue - and is a big one - is that a  key performance indicator of the investment in GWS is growing the number of people playing Australian Rules Football. If that pool is not growing the AFL will have issues with having enough elite AFL ready players to spread across 18 sides. If GWS are not regularly winning finals it will be difficult to continually increase the participation rate in NSW and develop talent via the academies and regional investment.  .

Sorry to prolong an off-topic post, but the things you list (bolded above) as to why it is critical for GWS to succeed are why many of us think axing it and cutting losses may make more sense.  But it will of course not be considered for a microsecond.

When they don't quote a source, or add a link, I instantly think they're talking absolute rubbish.  

Zanotti files on Facebook with a great track record posted about Sloane.

Exactly. Which is precisely why it is critical they succeed. 

Gold Coast are in a similar boat but i wonder if the AFL are perhaps more likely to cut their losses with them?

Adding Elvis to their midfield to replace Ablett will be a start.

Demons 11 said 'Sloane out of Adelaide'.  Couldn't be more over the top if he tried.

He is exactly what we need. A genuine A grade mid who win the hard ball (though we also need outside pace and elite kicking skills).

Not for one second do I believe Sloane is leaving, but hole lee shizen, would he look good in red and blue!

We might need to load up the pick up truck. How many future first round picks are we allowed to use for Sloane and Lever. See you at the 2024 AFL Draft.

If Rory Sloane was leaving Adelaide he would be talking to St Kilda 1st and Melbourne maybe last.

Thought the line about Pantsman Lethlean likely to get the Pies CEO job more interesting.
