Aggressive, known goal kicker, free agent, will provide another big target inside 50 best mates with Tomlinson.

Apparently the league's highest paid player. Do we have a spare 1.2 million + in the salary cap?

Lose Viney, Jones and tmac and we might be in business

Sometimes you have to go big and be bold to get results.  Even if he only performs for one season or even just one finals series and it all clicks.  That might be the one season that sees us land an elusive flag.  From the Sun's player ratings post their premiership...

TOM BOYD 9

Pay rise? Early goals huge, contested marking enormous and did it all banged-up after throwing himself at Mummy last week. Whether it was Peter Gordon or Jason McCartney, it was the trade that broke the drought.

Tom Boyd showed why he went pick No.1 and why he’s worth the money. Picture: George Salpigtidis"...

Sometimes one player can make the difference.  I recall Hogan sledging Boyd as he sat out a match one day at the G against us after copping a sledge himself.

At that stage Boyd was getting pilloried by the press at the time for being an over paid bust.

Well he who laughs last longest. One has a premiership medal around his neck, the other struggling over in Perth.

It pays to be bold i reckon.  At least you never die wondering.  Can't see it happening but i'd be making this our No.1 recruiting goal and leaving no stone unturned to get it done.

Overated.

How? Having a down year, but his record speaks for itself. The guy averages 2.5 goals a game and has at least another 100 games in his prime barring serious injury. Seriously, with all due to respect to Neitz and Lyon, he'd be our best full forward since Fred Fanning.

Don't think we'd be in the race, but it would be downright negligent not to throw our hat in the ring.

or perhaps Norm Smith.

Big name free agents only go to clubs with a chance of premiership success

Not true. They also go to clubs that can pay them lots.

He's not that. Reckon May/Lever will comfortably hold him

An AA FB holds everyone, hardly a measuring stick.

Either way, Weid is left to kick 4 on Tomlinson/OMac.

Ok, will rephrase.....Gun free agents, who have not tasted the ultimate success, only go to clubs with premiership potential. So Cameron won’t come here

    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
