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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
