Thanks. The only talk over here is picks 4 and 5 to Melbourne for Hogan. 

Considering their lack of low picks (although they’ll also receive 22 for Neale), it makes sense given their position Fremantle May conduct the above trade with Port. 

Yeah, it means they keep an early first rounder, 9 or 10 depending on what they trade to us. I would love 4 and 5 but wouldn't be surprised if we got 5 and 10 or even 9 and 10.

I’m sad to see him go because I love him as a player, but if he was always going home at some stage, he’s doing us a massive favour by doing it now as the club is strong enough now to not fall apart from this and he’s at peak value. We could potentially end up with 3 new best 22 players out of this. 

Or none!

We need top players now, not in 4 years time when draft picks might or might not have come good.

I’m sorry mate, but he’s gone. Beyond the point of no return.

Neither club nor the player has said a thing but the media frenzy has you saying we are past the point of no return? Errr OK...

Don't see any point for us in draft picks unless we trade them for someone who can aid the team in the next 4 years.

As I posted elsewhere, assuming Sam Weed will develop into a star based on one good outing in a final is 'courageous'.

What part are you having trouble with? I couldn’t care less what has been said in the media. 

Consider it my educated opinion then.

I think I'm in the minority. Assuming we solve a need through May and KK with a late 1st round draft pick, I'm not against picking up a kid early within the first round.

This draft is supposedly significantly stronger than that of 2017. Rayner, Brayshaw, Paddy Dow, Adam Cerra, Jaidyn Stephenson (Rising Star) and Davies - Uniake were the first six of this year.

Talk of Freo trading 4 or 5 to port for 9 and 10. Then ontrading the 10 to us with the remaining low pick for Jesse. 

 

Why wouldn't we do that deal with Port ourselves?  I'd be disappointed if the club wasn't on top of this and demanding that it's Freo's and Brisbane's first picks or no deal until 2019; unless they want to trade us pick 5 and Cerra. 

Freo can't have their cake and eat it too, 4 and 5 is closer to Hogan's worth than say 5 and 10 (Port will probably only do that deal if it can be Pick 4 to get one of the SA lads).  That deal sounds more like a fan trade than a realistic club option.

Hogan is gone. You are spot on. No chance he plays at Melbourne next year. He is headed back to Perth. Be interested to see if he gives a farewell speech at the BnF tomorrow. Last year at the BNf he could barely string a sentence together.

Yeah probably JR. Think this may actually be it though. Unless it's the year after.

We might, if we get 4 and 5. But this way, Freo keep a top 10 pick, and still have 2 to trade for Hogan. Makes sense for them, but means we get less

And even if it is 'super', all an early pick does is decrease the probability that the player will be a dud.

Presumably he would give a speech only if he featured in the awards.  A very very outside chance of 5th in the Bluey so unlikely to hear from him.

It is a super draft if you draft very well.

I can't believe people are still against the idea of drafting a top 10 pick this year. The Rising Star was in a GF yesterday. Age means nothing, Talent is everything. We might not have a player out there that's better than what we got, so why not use it in the draft.

Also i'm fine with May coming in but i am concerned with his attitude and i think he see's the Suns salary cap issue as weapon to get out and get a big pay day in Victoria. 650k max, he shouldn't be on what Hogan and Lever are currently on otherwise guys like Oliver, Brayshaw, Gawn, Viney and Trac will all start wondering why Lewis is telling them to take unders when the club bring in talent and pays them overs at their expense.

Still i'm on board with anything that helps us land J.Kelly and i'd think the rest of squad would see him as someone worth a million.

Every draft's a superdraft with Taylor. That's the one silver lining in this. We might get a few juicy picks as extras... so many players leaving. That's one thing I'm excited about. I felt like our depth and overall list the last few years was outstanding, but after looking at the Pies this year, I feel like we do actually have some pretty average dead wood lying around the place. 6 fresh new names, regardless of where he picks them, would be just the thing to cheer us up.

After the first couple of interactions I didn’t bother to read too much of the content but generally I do read most posters contributions on here.

Gut feel says Freo are going to try and throw 9 & 10 at us for Hogan while keeping pick 5 for themselves at the pointy end of this draft. 

Our position should be “nah sorry we will be having picks 5 & 9 if you want your gun key forward. Take it or leave it. Happy to keep him for another year and then deal with West Coast at the end of 2018 for Jesse’s services.”

It may only be a five pick difference we’ll hold out for, but in this draft that could well be the difference between adding a good player and a genuine star to our list. 

Picks 5 & 9. 

You initiated this Freo.

You have close to the worst forward line in the league and a coach and board under pressure.

You want Hogan that desperately there’s a price to pay. Or no dice!

Interesting. I've got a half a dozen posters I stick with. And obviously come here for first news and rumours... but leave it at that.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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
