Wouldn't think Weid would have got a big increase to be honest. What other players have we re-signed this year who would have had big rises?

Would think any rise Weid (and probably Frost) got would have been cancelled out by the reduction in Jones' new deal. Guessing of course.

Weideman took a few dollars as too did Brayshaw and Tom Mac last year. Add Frost as well.

In the case of the last three the problem is that our medium term projections would have had them signing at lower figures but their re-signing co-incided with major form improvements. Lewis and Garlett decreases would have been budgeted for a while.

I suspect Jones is one of the first to pay the cost of the unbudgeted increases. Hibberd could be next. The other unknown is the increase in total player payments following the next TV negotiations.

Soooooo I could be wrong here but I think you’re not a fan of Tomlinson..?

On what planet would we trade Petty for McAdam? One is out of contract and 28 years old. One is contracted for TWO MORE YEARS and is a 23 year old key position star.  I suggest Tomlinson staying

I don't know figures obviously, as none of us would, but gut feel is Weid and Frost wouldn't have had big pay rises. Weid due to his form, and Frost due to his career to date. Jones last signed an extension after winning 3 consecutive Blueys, so his pay cut would have those minor pay rises more than covered IMO.

Brayshaw and TMac would have already been in considerations for this year so I wouldn't think their contracts would make much change to our budget for outside players this year. Just as Lewis and Garlett leaving would have been figured in.

From memory, when the TPP changed last time everyone got a raise across the board.

It's the next couple of years that are the tester more than this one IMO.

We have to hope Mahoney manages things well and that we can turn the ship around a bit so weren't not relying solely on money being the attraction.

Yes, good point, plus Mahoney and co have a number of FD positions to fill, which may influence attracting players over the next couple of years.

Agree.  If we got Newnes and Tomlinson that would be HUGGGGGE. Need Richardson to get into Newnes ear. Offer a 4 year deal.  He is a very good player. 

Newnes stats and ball use efficiency very ordinary towards the end of season. Saints/Ratten would be happy to let him go I would think. Richo maybe a fan of his but Ratten not so...

 Newnes would benefit from a change of clubs.

Someone stated elsewhere that Jamie Elliot was a free agent and in MFC sights. Maybe that is the other free agent. Not sure I like the idea but have to trust the footy dept.

I would love Jamie Elliott, if he can stay fit. Can’t see him leaving the Pies, tho’.

If that’s the case... Yes to Elliot.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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
