Apparently on a truck load of money as the contract goes on. Back ended and pies maybe looking to invest in a key forward. Not many win a flag without a key forward.

He is going to gold cast, just playing hard to get so he and his manager can attempt to drive up his value. That's my opinion

You should put the opinion proviso part at the start of the otherwise seemingly definitive statement. I'll show you an example: 'In my opinion he is going to the Gold Coast, just playing hard to get so . . .' etc. followed by any other random speculation you wish to include. I don't mean to be a [censored], but the world will be a much better place if everyone just followed these simple rules.

I get the feeling the Pies see a chance of pick 5 and a young key forward in the draft and the Suns see the chance of getting a gun mid when they've had a heap of picks as is.

His biggest flaw is rushed disposal. His second biggest flaw is availability. But the deal makes too much sense for both clubs not to look at.

As much as we need an injection of inside pace I don't think he's what we need or worth the risk.

He is 100% gone from the Pies. 

Collingwood suggested they would facilitate a trade up north to go with his family, he has turned around and said he wants to be strictly traded to a Melbourne based club

you can't seriously be complaining about the order in which something is written ... time for you to go to bed after your glass of milk

Again, it would be great if this was prefaced with 'In my opinion', or 'I've heard', or 'I've been reliably told by a solid source', or 'I read on Bigfooty that' etc.

Does it really make a difference if I say I have a reliable source ? My source is quiet high up at Collingwood & always is on the money with his tip offs so I'd take this too the bank (as Robbo once said)

A big no from me. Is a massive gut runner but is possibly the biggest butcher by foot in the AFL. Particularly on the money he is on. 

At least he gains territory, I reckon he would play similarly to langdon but with more pace

Langdon is pinpoint in comparison, granted I think he also improved markedly over the season. I dont see the point of gaining territory if it just comes straight back over your head.

Langdon is not pin point. Literally coughed up an opportunity to goal to pass off with no pressure against essendon as one recent example.

A year would be okay, 2 maybe, 3 a big no.

It does help if you note the general nature of the source - not that I would expect you to divulge the second part. But the response (admittedly grumpy - pre-trade time does my head in) was in respect to constantly having to determine if statements in these threads are mere speculation or derive from gleaned information. I acknowledge that you provided some further detailed info which would help to deduce the latter, but I don't know if this is being repeated from the radio or somewhere else or whatnot. Anyway, thanks for sharing what you've been told. It is appreciated.

Yes - if you have mail, or you're suggesting you have mail, I think it's fair to indicate that. Separate yourself from those who are just speculating with their own opinions.

It's true some (myself included from time to time) will question your sources, but if you do have a good source, I'd prefer to know when you're passing on info vs when you're just offering your own opinion.

Wanted him a few years back, but his contract is too big for us if we want to keep Petracca and Oliver happy.

Very strange from the Pies. They Liked him enough to trade him in. He has gotten better if anything with the pies and now they’ve basically told him to [censored] off? Not great player management. Some injury concerns but he has some good years left. They must have their eyes on a big trade. Or maybe it is cap space for De Geoy?

sidebottom and pendels are really getting on. Beams and Treloar gone too. Bit light on in the middle. And Grundy struggling too

    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.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
