Wont be the Lions with their 3 tall forwards.

Don't think Blues either with their 3 tall forwards.

Can't see it being us, with LJ and Gus to re-contract and Weid and JVR outside the best 22 atm.

I think the Dogs, Swans, Dockers and Cats, if Hawkins has indicated he is retiring, are the main chances, if it is indeed true.

If i was picking one, I would say the Dogs have the biggest need.

 

SEN just posted this about McStay, so maybe Brisbane covering their bases?

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2022/05/27/collingwood-among-victorian-clubs-trying-to-lure-brisbane-key-forward/

Unrestricted free agent McStay would command a five-year deal in the vicinity of $600,000 a year at the Pies or another suitor given his growing presence and the demand for big forwards.

The Lions’ deep playing list means they can’t meet that financial bar, but McStay loves life in Brisbane, has a sense of loyalty and in an ideal world would stay at the Gabba.

Is there really another team in the premiership window aside from us?  Maybe a finals window

🤣

Saints are like flies on [censored] when it comes to other clubs' flotsam & jetsam. They're also deluded enough to think they could snag a flag in the next two years whilst we're on the scene. My money is on them.

I actually thought Saints too, as Tex would replace Membrey as their second tall after King, and add a lot of potency to their forward half as a result, with Membrey a capable 3rd tall.

He'd be really good in a top team. Beautiful field kick.

Essendon are the only other team that meet the first criteria but even they are not daft enough to think they're in a premiership window. Despite what Mick Malthouse might think.

There is no doubt that even at 32 he is still a good player who could add plenty to a side.

Sadly he is a cultural cancer and a [censored] of the highest order.

Dunno about that Jaded. Sure, he made a mistake & has had to own it & live with it but this is also the same bloke who pulled his club together after the horrific murder of their coach.

Ticks & crosses.

Agree with the first bit. Still a bloody good player & would rip it up in a good team

Tex is a gun, and as highly as he is rated, I personally believe he remains undervalued by many. I love watching him play, his kicking is sublime, and he leads inside F50 with power and intention. 

Yes, he is a (insert derisive foul word of choice here) and his abhorrent actions have been rightly called out with relevant punishments applied. His character has some question marks, especially considering he was the captain of the club. But he is not the first great footballer to be a faulty human being without  emotional intelligence  - Leigh Matthews, John Nichols and Wayne Carey spring to mind, but there have been many more.

But no way does he come to the Dees. With BBB, TMac and Fritsch so difficult to match up on, and also Weid and JVR in the wings there is simply no need. He is a Crows man through and through and cannot see him leaving.

He can still play. Look at the goals he kicked in Ballarat a few weeks ago and as Jaded said his field kicking can be elite. 
Is he on the outer because the Croms don’t want him? Or Is it his manoeuvring?

Carlton?

Freo

Sydney

Geelong Polo Club

Edit: dl4e is right. It has to be Geelong based on selecting for over 30s.

Jeelong old folks home🤣

Define “premiership window”

How long is this premiership window?

Carlton or Brisbane with an outside chance of North

Sounds like Norf list management.  Sell off a proven goal kicker who becomes a Premiership FF, then pick up an older one with cultural baggage.

    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.
