Aidan Corr has joined the Kangas on a 5 year deal netting the Giants a 2nd round compensation pick, currently pick 30.

He must be wondering what he’s gotten himself in to!

Congrats to cats landing Cameron a ready made ff... When u include Lynch going to the tigers after the won a flag.. not to mention Daniher going to to the lions a prelim team...is this what free agency was designed for to allow successful clubs to raid the best talent ... grant it the lions have climbed up the ladder..  something isn’t right ...

That’s the issue bottom clubs will pay overs to attract players... the system is actually working against bottom teams even more so!

GWS matched so Geelong has to trade for Cameron.

And GWS has sent that pick 54 back to Freemantle for Jesse Hogan. Effectively Langdon out, Hogan in. A far cry from Freo paying pick 6 and 23 for Hogan only two years ago.

Adelaide haven't matched St Kilda's bid according to trade radio with Crows set to receive a second round compensation pick currently 23.

Expect to see some questionable trade in the Crows favour from the Saints.

Dunstan for pick 85.

Why would they not match it if that’s all they’re getting? They probably could’ve got more by trading him. Odd decision.

I think his drug bust completely stuffed his trade value (and his salary expectations). A second rounder is the most they could expect so Pick 23 is probably the best they could hope for in the circumstances.

You aren't going to match a bid if you don't want to keep the player at the club though.  

Clearly pick 23 and Dunstan for  Crouch and say pick 85 is better than trying to do  a trade with the Saints who aren't going to cough up a first rounder for Crouch.

You take that risk and force a trade that benefits your club more. 

What’s the point of the system if no one ever matches?

Not if you really want that player to go for Salary Cap room or perhaps cultural reasons.

Saints loading up for a flag tilt. Fair play to them for attracting and securing established talent. Would gladly take every player they’ve traded in over the past 12 months. Let’s see if it pays off in the next few years or if they crash and need another rebuild. They’ve definitely gone past us now.

Yep. They've done extremely well.

About to add Jack Higgins also.

The Saints position is a really good example of what you can do if you manage your salary cap well and recruit well. they've got a really clear understanding of how they want to play and they're recruiting accordingly. 

I think they're really only lacking some polish off half back and they should be ready for a serious flag tilt

Brad Hill reported on $900k?

As per AFL website article the Giants are demanding a mid first round pick from the Bombers for Caldwell after being selected at pick 11 and putting two years worth of development into him. Perhaps I have a degree of shadenfreude when it comes to Essendon but this is music to my ears. Their behaviour and demands when it comes to the trade period is bordering on ludicrous and has done for years, its nice to see some pressure applied back to them.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    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. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
