Weideman 1 goal in the final 4 games, a terrible effort.  Has no urgency.

T Mac is finished.

Luke Jackson may or may not be a key forward but hes still a teenager either way.

Mitch brown is the best tall forward on our list as he showed today and hes 30.

 

We need to recruit a gun KPF this trade period or 2021 will be another waste of everyones time.

That's complete rubbish.  Our 10 best players this year are all 28 years old or younger and most of them are 24yo or younger. May 28, Gawn 28, Viney 26, Salem 25, Petracca 24, Lever 24, Lang

Jackson and Petty weren't playing today, let's just see what they can do ... Weid was very strong in the contest today and has had a good year.

I've seen enough 'rebuilds' in my time to know we are long way off needing a rebuild. Our list has plenty of talent that is underperforming as a whole unit.

Probably a stretch to say he’s going to be a gun, but really liked Petty forward. If he recovers I would throw him forward next year.

Yes, Petty has real promise (after a terrible start). But I suspect its down back.

Why not, it is by far our most pressing need.

Certainly need more forward potency - more so than midfielders (about whom people are obsessed).

We have a lot of trade/draft threads where we all get to express our opinion on our biggest needs. But whatever.

That was easily Brown's best game for his time with us and among his best of his career.  He has had a scattering of very good games over the years and an interest patch of great form late in 2016. The main effect I think that effort will have is to increase the chances of McDonald being traded, but by the same token, Brown isn't about to become a standing heavy forward target for us, even short term.

Preuss is a big body but doesn't seem to have the 'presence' we'd want.

The problem is clearly real, but the solution isn't obvious.  I wouldn't trust any of the potentially tradeable 'star' key forwards to fill the hardworking and strong bodied slot we need.  Not Daniher, not Cameron, not Brown.

Where are we going to get our Cameron Mooney?

Meanwhile, just for a laugh at beautiful irony, we are very much hoping that Jesse Hogan kicks a bag to put as in finals.

The Weid will be alright struggling a bit ATM but at least he is bringing it to ground. Will be better with Jackson in the side.

What are our options?

TMac comes good and we keep him

Ben Brown - good lead and overhead mark

Jesse Hogan - get him Burgess fit and back amongst his mates

Jeremy Cameron - expensive and question on value for money

Jeremy Finlayson - v similar to Weideman

Any others?

You have my vote it is easily our most pressing need. Easy to say but they don't grow on trees sadly.

He has not had a strong year! 

Do you actually watch the games?

He is starting to look like a dud in my opinion.

No craft or footy intelligence cannot get near the ball can't lead and has a very weak body for a man of his size

I'm not sure he has the stomach for the contest

How old is Brown? 

Jezza would demand too much coin. 

Finlayson just signed a contract.

This is the year to get one. 

With daniher, brown and Cameron all available this is really a chance to pounce. 

Cameron is the one I would be going hard for.

    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
