Joel Smith will definitely be traded at year end. He will ask to be traded imo. 
 

Baker and Rivers must play v Saints. Need them to match Hill and Jones for pace. 

No one other club is going to trade for Smith when they can just pick up a delisted free agent.

Even if he asks for trade, no one is going to come banging down the door. Billy Stretch and JKH also asked to look at trade options last year and both barely got a nibble. And both made far more impact then Smith.

In regards to Baker, I am fan and in the boat that he needs to start getting games. Goodwin needs to stop this idea of Vandenberg being a winger because its not working. Hunter and their outside mids exposed him on the weekend. Hate to think what Hill will do..

Joel Smith played in the backline... christ our coaches have no idea.   A scratch match and they dont even play him forward.

He’s kicked 1 goal in his entire career.

This kid leads up well and would create real scoreboard pressure - to the backline he goes.  Modern coaching, i dont get it

That is only the majority view. Goodwin prefers to do his experimenting off a four day break against the top side.

Didn't he kick 4 or 5 in the pre-season game last year with the groin injury, when we inexplicably left him on and rubbed him out for the year?   

Weird that they just abandoned that experiment.

I think he got 4 against Brisbane in a practice match, but the way some carry on you’d think we have Allen Jakovich playing in the back pocket.

FD don't have an idea they shouldn't have been on  the list to start with let alone play forward.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
