Interesting that the previously Dees hating Barrett, says we did the right thing in the Lever deal. Basically says that we are a professional club in trading.

He's also been quite critical of North. Maybe he doesn't "hate" us after all and was legitimately criticising stupid moves we'd made in the past

I hate to admit it as I have often felt so bruised by his commentary but I think you're right.  "scatter gun" WAS accurate, and was Neeld at his worst. His call on the Kelly trade was also fairly accurate....the fact we landed Hunt in that trade couldnt really have been seen.

The question is, do we go after Gaff next year via FA, or save all our pennies for 2 years, clear as much cap space as we can, and go after Kelly in 2 years time?

We had pick 58 before the Kelly trade and ended up with 57, where we took Hunt. So we were always getting Hunt.

The Tyson trade was a shocker.

An interesting side note on this issue...I think Roos came out and said he wouldnt have picked Kelly at 2 anyway didnt he? Or maybe Im not remembering that right...but Im pretty sure. So who really knows who we might have picked.

Jack Billings was his preferred.

Thanks redleg. So the question we really need to be asking when this issue arises is whether Tyson and Salem is worth more than Billings

But we would have also retained Pick 20 after which there were also good players selected. 

We wanted Salem and believed correctly we could get him with 9. We thought Tyson would be a very good player for us. If his disposal was better, he could have nearly been that for us. He is still a regular 22 and we haven't got better players to keep him out just yet.

Salem can still improve and if Tyson improves disposal it becomes a better deal.

Tyson was also very good in his first year with us. 2014 I think it was?

I think people are writing Tyson and Salem off too quickly, they are still both only 24 & 21 respectively. 

And people also choose to forget that at the time our list was a shambles and we needed as many good players as we could get, not just one top 5 draft pick.

People really need to get over this trade and move on.

Yesterday's "big" deal was Adam Saad leaving Gold Coast for Essendon with the Suns getting a future second rounder. 

I just received a tweet from NAB Trade Radio suggesting that there's a big day ahead!

That's what they say every day and not much happens. 

Thankfully, it will all be done and dusted soon.

Freo got pick 2

Suns got Weller & pick 41

 West Coast receive picks 21, 26, 37 and a 2018 second round pick in exchange for pick 50 and their 2018 first round pick to the Gold Coast

 

Shows how desperate they are to get people who want to be there.

That pick swap is horrendous. My god.

    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
