Taranto. 😍 He can be my next Dion Prestia.

Not sure how we engineer that from both a Salary and draft picks perspective but would love to see him in Melbourne colours.

There’s talk of Matt Crouch possibly looking to come back to Victoria. Not exactly the class we need in the middle, because t could help out Clarrie and Trac with clearances.

He's a Dee's fan, so surely he plays for $20 and a hot dog a game so we can fit him in right?

Still is! You can only ever have neutral feelings for GWS, it's been scientifically proven.

it's less rather than more likely that we can afford those key giants and their top tier talent like (the long term signed up) whitfield,  greene, kelly, coniglio, plus the really exciting green, hopper or taranto

i'd look at their next tier of rebounding defenders like isaac cumming, or the mids like o'halloran, perryman, and bruhn

they all look like they'll be very good afl players and all in their 'pre-contract' year, with new deals due at the end of 2022

the players i'm still most keen on us chasing remain brayden maynard from the filth, ed richards from footscray, and jake riccardi from gw$

Seems like Taranto can only play in the guts, though. Would push viney/Harmes/Brayshaw out further.

And just like that Leon Cameron reads Demonland and thinks Taranto can go forward to cover for Greene and do it magnificently. This isn’t having a shot at you Mickey, also thought he was a pure mid.

Perryman would be a nice fit for us

Don’t pay the Perryman. Don’t even fix a price.

Even though i never put much stock in what Journo's said, but our cap is meant to be pretty tight. We'd have to lose a fair few players surely?

Also we lack currency currently and i imagine the club want Mac Andrew in above any free agent we can realistically nab.

Just flicking it around in my head - anyone else able to enlighten me about Dylan Stephens' situation?

Could we offer him membership in the wingers club?

why do so many peope keep suggesting inside mids, like tom green isn't coming nor is he a good option for us, neither taranto or hopper either. it's our strongest position on the ground and we have youngsters who are coming through behind our 24yo "leaders" and we've got first choice mids at other clubs prepared to limit their time in there to suit the teams needs

How can we get Finn Callaghan?

Guy looks like an absolute weapon and would give a lot for him 

Acquire pick 2

Sam Weideman says hi

Marc Murphy too

Sam Weideman is not picked in our team for tomorrow. With TMac out it seemed perfect timing to give Sam some game time in this crucial part of the season. Melksham CHF and Sam not on the bench. You better say "Hi Sam" real soon IMHO.

Grand father the great ruckman Michael Green

Family in Sydney I believe and see no reason he would leave this early in his career.

Maynard would be a great get.  Not sure the Pies would accept a 2nd round pick for him.  It probably depends on whether the Weid stays.  If Weid says he’s moving on, we have more trade weight.    Pies could be tempted if we offered Weid and a future 2nd round pick.

Stephens was taken at # 5 in the same year as Kosi and Jackson. He is suited to the centre.

Inside or outside?

What the Pies will accept I suggest will come down to how much more salary cap challenge they have left.

    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.

    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
