Yep. This is why I referenced hitting the cap in a year or two. I wasn't sure if his two-year extension finished in 2022 or 2023. Thanks for clarifying.

Not sure why people are against the 5 listed. People are overrating our list yet again. The reason we are doing well is system based, not personnel. It's a credit to the players for buying in. But keep in mind that Adelaide beat us and Collingwood made us look silly. 
 

Lemmens is a great young player. Tom Lynch is an upgrade on Weideman and Ben Brown. Switkowski is nifty and is in the mould of Spargo. If Switkowski was playing for us now and Spargo was playing for Freo, we'd be all saying Spargo wouldn't make our 22. Robbie Fox I'm not a fan of.

He probably doesn't offer us what we really need but I'd have him before Brayshaw who whilst performing a role has been pretty wasteful by foot.

5 targets ? 

I agree that Trent Dumont is certainly worth a call … others to see if there’s any interest based on what we could reasonably offer

Ed Richards - dogs 

Jack Petruccelle- Eagles

I would happily say yes to the first 3 except Petruccelle.

He's a Sam Blease mk 2. Barely finds the footy and even when he does, he sprints so quick that he just butchers the footy straight to the opposition.

Alex Sexton is worth a shot. Outside of that, maybe chase their third pick. Not sure we have a lot to offer. They may bite at TMAC and Brayshaw. It would take that to get it done. Both clubs should do that. We could then inject more talent, and chase a winger through free agency.

I agree DD36 that’s he’s previously problem was kicking errors.  But in the last few games I’ve seen Petruccelle play this year, he seems a lot more effective with his possessions and disposal.  I nominated him because he might want to come home to Victoria and be reasonably priced for $ and trade price. He is very dangerous up forward and loves a goal. With his pace, he’d form a dangerous combo with Kozzzzy.

Dumont is having a good game Suns.  Would be hard to shake him loose from the Kangas.

Add Ben Ainsworth.  Really looked ok for periods of today’s match v Kangas. Good hands. Good skills hitting targets. Good pace and strength. But something missing in his development and could really benefit from coming back to Vic and a lift in intensity.  After 4 1/2 years at the Suns, he hasn’t lived up to draft pick#4.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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.

    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
