Hello there Demonlanders. I'm here to collect all of your vomit and anger emoji's.

Could Jordan De Goey be a potential trade target?

He's actually the 2nd best finals performer in the last 5-6 years below Dusty. 5 or 6 Finals BOG's According to Daniel Hoyne of CD. He would slot instantly into the role that Tracc vacates, and we'd also get their edit: future first and 2nd round picks. 

They were taken in the same draft all those years ago, and have had interestingly similar career arcs up. I recall in 2017-2018, we were all wondering when Tracc would take the next step, while JDG was actually having some huge finals games in their series that led them into the GF against West Coast, and last year he had a big finals series again.

Until Tracc reached his stardom in 2021, it seems that has all been forgotten about and he's gone way beyond JDG as a consistent performer year to year with his 4 AA's and Norm. However JDG's upside is still at the level of a Dusty type player that can step up when it counts.

Has JDG reached his peak already and its only down from here, is a biggest question to ask though, does he have the motivation to become a big game performer for the Dees?

Of course, the cultural question is the biggest one there is, which ive avoided up until now. But well, our club is hardly one to preach about that.

DL, thoughts?

PS: I've actually seen quite a few Collingwood people propose this, so I think it begs the discussion at least.

Don't hate me.

He’s as good as Tracc at his best, maybe even better at times because he can really kick. But lazier, more consistently injured (if not currently recovering from major surgery) and all the off field baggage.

It would be one of the strangest lateral-ish trades

Cameron was 3 firsts, he is a genuine match winner and had injury baggage. That is the benchmark for Trac. Goodbye BBB, ANB, Gus, hello Degoey??? WTF, That would the biggest kick in the nads since Scully left and more than Hogan/Jackson. Up there with Gerard and Ronald walking out on the club. Except we didn't take on board the biggest ratbag in the league, why don't we go and get Tarryn while we are at it.

I would be giving De Goey a very wide berth. On his day he can be a match winner but he is inconsistent, goes missing at times, injury prone and is a trip to Bali away from another scandal plastered all over the news.

They should include Maynard in the trade for good measure.

JDG is too injury prone at this stage. And he fails the no DH policy

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
