Jon Ralph who threw up Clayton Oliver for Lever as potential a trade scenario? I'm done with him.

Ralph make me want to throw up as well.

Could not conjure a more fitting surname

This makes no sense to me, mate. Why not leave him on the list for another year if we want to play him at Casey? Paying out his contract means we only free up a list spot, but not cap space. 

We re-signed him, we stick with him for the moment. Besides, there are others I'd delist before him.

This might make sense to you. 

He was not in our best 22 before he did his ACL. Now a year older and not having played for a year, coming back from a reco, he will probably not be best 22 again. 

By freeing up his spot on the list, we have a chance of finding a 10-12 year player.

You don't keep players on your list just to play at Casey.

Someone is selling the farm for Kelly. Saints trading theirs away? FMD, as if GWS deserve another 2 first rounders on top of everything else they've been gifted

They might not deserve more top picks, but we are talking about them possibly losing a player one club has offered $10.5m to. He is one of the best in the AFL and wouldn't go cheap. So and my mail is he will stay for 2 more years, if GWS lost him they would deserve a good deal.

Kelly will likely go if the Giants dont make the Grand Final. Way off it tonight! 

Saints will pull the trigger and trade Picks 7 & 8 for Kelly & Pick 25.

I would think the Saints have cap space to fit him in. 

He won't go to Saints.

I have often pondered about the use of the ignore option Saty. I've seen posters say they're putting someone on ignore but respond to them a short time later.

There are even misguided souls who have ignored my wise utterances.

I wonder who holds the distinction of being the most ignored on Dland?

Sorry i was ignoring you, what did you say again?

You do if they're contracted.

No you pay them out and try and find a player who can make your best 22.

FWIW if i was an Adelaide supporter i would be expecting a player of oliver, petracca or brayshaws ilk for lever too

I'd swap Brayshaw for Lever.

Id throw in the Weid. They had a Weid from Fish Creek. They might want another. It would [censored] Magpies and North off no end, thats a bonus.

Because of the concussion concerns? Or just rate Lever higher?

I want to try and keep our good players together.

Love the Fish Creek reference Franky!!!

We're in the grand final today against Toora and should get the job done (finished 5 games clear with a % close to 290).

There are a couple of guys in the team that would not look out of place in the AFL. Namely Cal Park. One of the McGannon boys might get drafted this year too. Tommy Cameron is an absolute champ. Gotta love country footy.

Pumped for a big day, fire em up Reg, bring it home Fishy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats with the RIP Alberton Football League DD ?

I spent some of my best years of my life getting the Tarwin Sharks off and running in the Alberton League

I also remember when a certain prominent member of the Foster business  community adorned her business in the Toora colours

Not necessarily the smartest move but nonetheless highly committed against Foster in a GF

For those who can't get behind the pay wall here is a summary of Denham's story:

  • the only high-profile players Tom Rockliff, Steven Motlop and Jackson Trengove left in the FA pool.
  • UFA Daniel Menzel may also want to move after being shunned against Richmond
  • Adelaide are almost certain to lose Lever.  Melbourne leads Collingwood for him.
  • Kelly must decide to accept a $10 million long-term deal to North or remain with the Giants for less money in the short term. Others: Carlton, St Kilda and Essendon, are now out of the equation.
  • Devon Smith appears highly likely to play at another club next year
  • Jake Stringer is out of favour at the Western Bulldogs and will play elsewhere next year - St Kilda and Collingwood are sniffing around and Richmond are poised
  • Other premiership players on rocky ground at the Dogs, who will field interest from clubs on contracted players including Luke Dahlhaus. Watch this space on that front.
  • Mason Cox appears on the move north, where Brisbane have offered a four-year deal.
  • Ty ­Vickery for two years backfired and they would be willing to let him go, along with Duryea.
  • Gold Coast will let go of Brandon ­Matera, who plans to head home to Western Australia.
  • If West Coast want additional draft picks to rejuvenate an old list, they will need to trade out one of two contracted players. They would sacrifice Chris Masten, if there are any takers, but he is contracted for another two years.
  • And that’s just the start.

Denham has good sources so there is a good chance these will come to pass.

From MFC point of view:  Winning the race for Lever.  Not in the race for Kelly or Stringer.  No mention of Gaff.

Some clubs and various commentators have said that this year will see a lot of contracted players change clubs.  A few surprises ahead...

Afraid you are right.

Things are going well for Tigers.

No injuries and with seniors playing last night,  means they have the entire rest of the list to use today.

Unfortunately I see Casey going out in straight sets.

Would love to be wrong however.

Had my first bet in about 15 years on the biggest certainty I can recall in footy, WC to beat Crows in last round.

A mate of mine who was on the field during the game said you could see that the Crows just didn't care.

Anyway we threw it away and no point hoping for others to get us in finals. Just got to get the wins in future.

Jackson Trengove on way out of Port. Offered 3 years, wants 4 and will get 4.

We're one of a few clubs sniffing. plan B should we lose Lever from 10 goals up at 3 quarter time.

Seems it's not very stable down there at the kennel. If Dahlhaus is looking to move, we should go hard for him. He's just turned 25, so good age bracket for us. Hard running quick midfielder who likes to kick and bobs up with goals regularly. He finds a decent amount of ball too, averaging mid 20s disposal-wise over the past 4 years. He'd be a good option to help balance our midfield, and comes with premiership experience. Has his name been mentioned in any other rumours? Kelly is not a realistic option, but Dahlhaus might be and would fit our needs perfectly IMO.

    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
