Sure we could get De Goey, just don’t cry that we have to give up Petracca and Brayshaw to do it

Vox Pop: Who would you give up for Dee Goey?

Petracca + a pick or someone else?

As I said I like Gaff... but with our dwindling resources in the salary cap, this deecision is Crucial, to get it right.   We are very one geared.  We are very much a power geared side,,, and i want us to add an extra dimension to our run and carry.

Pace, breaks big games open.

Hunt was our pace but instead of teaching him to lower his eyes we dropped him and now his season is over right when we need him

Why do you say, 'instead of teaching him'?

Don't you reckon we've been trying to get him to use the ball better since last season ?  The coaches of course, would have been working on that with him.

And so we have worked hard on getting ur half back sorted so we use the ball better coming out of defence.  We have been much better at this, in 2018.

But sadly Hunt has not been able to capture his best form, from the wing.

Our depth has miraculously improved from defence, since we recruited Lever, and others last year.

In a team lacking a bit of dash Id play Hunt and Garlett. Too good for the seconds in my opinion

I disagree on Garlett this year.

Hasn't deserved it.  You have to earn it,,, by doing the things 'the coaches' and 'the team' want/need.  Not watt 'you', want to do only.

 

Watt was quick as well, like a fox, unfortunately.

But not so much a 'team' man. just one of the' buoys'.  floated around waiting.   'watt of the wisp'.

 

We want pace, with 'attitude',,, or 'brute', see Danger.   'will of the wisp', not so much. 

I guess that's why we got Spargo, and Baker, both have 'tude'.  But both not what i'm talking about.

 

'De Goey will be hotter property, and I am thinking he's skills are a better investment, than Gaff's gut run.

Petracca vs De Goey

https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=12&pid1=4041&fid1=S&playerStatus2=A&tid2=5&pid2=4043&fid2=S&type=A

Tracking similarly. Given out scoring options it is reasonanble to suggest we rely less on Trac kicking goals, and so therefore he is given fewer opportunities to score than De Goey.

Trac wins in CP, rebound 50s, intercepts and metres gained. De Goey in goals, i50s, and score involvements.

This tells us Trac is playing more of a defensive role, De Goey more an attacking role.

Is the effectiveness of a midfielder-swingman determined exclusively on their scoreboard impact? I think Trac is have a very solid year. As is De Goey.

Brayshaw for top 10 pick.

Pick 5 behind Petracca and Brayshaw in 2014, has just hit 50 games. We have no first round pick this year and cannot trade next years, so unless we're wiling to trade one of our own young guns (Trac, Oliver, Hogan, Brayshaw) then we cannot get him or Wines or anyone. On the basis, can't see it happening and prefer our youngsters to him.

 

Youngsters with talent grow up and then hell breaks loose on the field. We have a great list. Culture and hunger are missing but these are bubbling now more than the recent (20 years) past.

Dreaming that you could essentially trade Brayshaw for De Goey.

I don't know the difference in market values,,, only the clubs would.   But I do know that a top 10 pick would go a long way towards that end, as trade in part for De Goey.

Now I know we all like Gus, but unfortunately he is a long term risk.  We are not the complete list, that people have been talking about in recent seasons.

 

And I know one pacy player is not the answer, just as Diamond Jim was not the answer on his lonesome,,, back in the 60's.

We need to include about 3 quickish players into our lineup, IMO.   Stretch might be one?   Hunt at present, isn't.

DShiel would go some way to help.

Degoey would be fantastic.

 

Gaff wouldn't, IMO.

 

Buying in, would mean, we have to make some tough (ruthless) decisions with our list.  We have to enter trade;,,, and yes trade some favourite players.

Someone from the Saints admin thought they should have picked Petracca instead of Mc C, the Dees showed interest in De Goey which would have been a win win for both clubs.

So who are the Kangas going to trade to make this happen

Will not be easy.

Hope CW match the payment and sends them broke

Just don't see how Degoey moves without the Kangas losing picks and players

Pies will not lose De Goey IMO.

Pies will lose players to keep him and he will forego some cash, but IMO will not leave.

He will sign a 2 year deal at less cash, say $800k per year, or a longer term one, if he is happy to forego the future offers that may come.

Pies will try and pension Wells off and other players can be moved on as well. Hearing rumours about Moore going as well, but I think he will only go if they get another key forward. Hello Tom, even though the Tigers appear to be the leaders in his chase.

In the normal run of events I would agree but the Tom Lynch factor comes into this. From all reports their cap is running tight, Pendlebury and Sidebottom would be eating up a bit and they had to shell out the dollars to lure Adams and Treloar to the club. Can they find all that money even at 800k for De Goey and still find the cash for Lynch whom they have been openly chasing?

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
