I would never delist Bugg - he's exactly what we need. And I'd never trade Watts. Vince is still very handy. 

 

 

How do we need a spud that's only a thug? Watts has run out chances he must be put on the table. Vince should retire.

One last time. Watts. Is. Contracted.

Trade can only happen if he wants it to happen. So he 'cant be put on the table'.

The only leverage the club has is threatening to play him in the vfl. This might work with say spencer who is likely to play vfl anyway and might want more opportunity. But with a player of watts' talent it is a bit cutting off your nose to spite your faceish.

A player on the other hand - if contracted and wanting out - can threaten not to try. Which no club wants.

Papers stamped.

Liam Hulett: He had four disposals, four tackles and two inside 50s. Liam didn’t have any impact on the game and went missing for long periods. He didn’t give us a real threat forward of the ball, so it was a disappointing performance from Liam.

I think they were stamped long before this game.  They even tried him down back and that didn't work either.

Oh Mandee...

 

Moonie, coming from Man sfield  my 1st choice for a name on DLand was DeeMan obviously,  unfortunately it was taken. So without really thinking I tried ManDee, it was available so that will do. Now I have Barry Manilow nightmares, yes more than before. Thanks for reminding me. At least "I came and I gave without taking"

PS: I will not kiss you and stop you from shaking.

You can trade a player that's under contract as long as it's not the first year of his contract like JKH, Stretch and Frost can't be traded.

If all parties agree, surely a trade can happen in first year of contract, otherwise it's restraint of trade, eg.Boyd to WB

After today, Trengove and Spencer are gone. Spencer showed nothing. Rather persist with King and bring in Meese as Gawns backup. 

king did nothing either, looks like Pederson will continue to be our second Rickman for a few more years

Think you'll find 2018 might be close to Pedo's last.

If he had to play 20 games next season then I'd agree.  But if he ends up just being a handy depth player, filling a few gaps throughout the season when needed, then we might be able to squeeze an extra year out of him.  He hasn't played as much footy to this point as others have, so he has a little more mileage left in the legs.

Pedo will play most games next year if fit, especially if Spencil leaves. Weid will need to come on suddenly for Pedo to be usurped. Still, stranger things have happened.

If we get Lever that should allow T.McDonald to go forward we probably won't need Pedersen.

Pretty harsh comment on Pedo. 

He has a had a great year! Showed alot of ticker! He gives a consistent contest and holds his own. Would be a coaches favourite. He is only 30 and durable. Great work ethic and versatile!

Pedo is my first picked at the selection table. You know what you are going to get from him.

Just like Daniel Ward and Nathan 'Doggy' Brown when they were playing...

Watching todays game I was impressed with Stretch's game. He has developed his inside game well over the second half of the year at VFL level. He can still make it. JKH and Spencer were woeful unfortunately. I will be surprised if JKH gets another senior game. Magner has had a good year too and if he keeps developing as he should will get his chance next year. Bugg can still offer something but will probably only ever be about top 26, not top 22. Still you need a top 33 to have genuine depth.

I was surprised by Richmonds depth. It's always hard to beat a VFL side that is still alive in the AFL as all the seconds players still hold hope to get a game in the seniors.

They had Conca, Lloyd, Griffiths, Miles and a couple of others. That Morris is a dog. His only skill is smashing into blokes trying to injure them. Sheedy would recall him to his Grand Final side just to go head-hunting.

Maybe, but unless I'm mistaken, he's signed for another year.

If you look back you'll see that I've been a big fan of Pedo on here. Got into many a stoush with stuie defending the big fella. 

Cam will be 31 when the 2018 season starts. I'd love him to play for 5 more years, but I don't think longevity is his bag. That was my point.

    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
