Mmmm, Tom $cully is potentially out of GWS  - without the history, I'd take him in heart beat.

Whispers are being whispered about unhappy players at St Kilda. Will Jacks Steele, Billings and Steven request a trade if Richo stays on? Stay tuned. #WhispermethisETthetradewhisperer.

Hearing whispers Richo may be sacked sometime this week. Is the board listening to the players, nil mass exodus after all? #Tradewhispererout.

Ethan drilling deep into the multi-chambered orifice that is the AFL trade season. Careful what you scoop!

Scully will end up at Hawthorn. Gut feeling only.

I thought he'd signed for another four years after his initial 6 year contract. I'd suspect he'd be well compensated but nowhere near the level of his original deal. Unlikely to be a salary cap dump option.

Maybe he went somewhere to just check out the facilities while he's been injured

Hopefully he brought his dad with him for support.

Scully's old man is an expert in the field of talent spotting and recruitment if memory serves me correctly.

Wouldn't mind picking up Hugh Goddard as a DFA.

St Kilda supports don't rate him at all. Too slow for defence and doesn't have the smarts as a forward is what I've often heard.

Not sure where to put this, but ex-Victorian Cerra has signed an extension of 2 years at the Dockers. He's there til 2021. Will be a ripping player by then.

Sounds like what I heard about Melksham from Essendon supporters

It is rumoured that GWS have to offload about a mill off their salary cap next season. This is why there is all the noise around Shiel and Scully. Ironic that Scully's hefty contract may come back to bite him.

free agent

Andrew Gaff obviously

trades

1. Sam Hayes for Jkh trade or 

Tom Cutler for Jkh trade 

2. Need to get to 4 picks (33, 43, 51, 56)

Suns Pick 56 for Tom Bugg

Either the above option rather than delisting Bugg and Jkh which would happen post trade period. 

3. Tom Campbell (dogs) for MFC pick 88

Hawks, Tigers, Collingwood, Essendon, Port, Geelong all look like playing a big part in trade week / free agency, we must be active, must improve our list. 

Hoping the footy department team is working hard in the background...

I reckon they're probably just sitting around all day long playing cards and reading demonland to see which players they should get.

I assume you mean Sam Mayes from the Lions? Sam Hayes is a ruck for Port who did his ACL - I thought we should have taken him in last years draft and he slipped down to pick 47 (after some believed him to be a top 20 pick), but we went with Fritsch and Petty with our picks before that.

There was some talk of being interested in Cutler last off-season but he's best 22 for the Lions and is still contracted for another 12 months, so they'll want more than JHK.

People are scared of going backwards or standing still, but sitting on our hands this trade window isn't a bad thing. We paid overs for Lever and now we have to 'honour' the deal and work with what we got, which isn't much. 

The thing we've always needed since Roos began his rebuild is time and experience. We drafted some old heads in to support the kids, but now it's time the kids get the time. Another year with the same 30 odd players we've used this season while maybe trying to get more games into Baker and Petty is only going to benefit us. 

Like i've mentioned before in this thread, Josh Kelly will be wanting to move at the end of next season and if we sit on our hands this season or maybe make some draft moves to try and improve our hand for when he wants to move i'd think we'd be the favourites to get him. Consider our position on the ladder (hopefully top 8 or even top 4), premiership window, offering a decent wage, victorian boy and isn't he good friends with Tyson.

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
