Lobb is leaving because his partner wants to return to the eastern states. Nothing to do with issues at Freo

We should hook her up with Jacko.   :)

Agree.

It's a bit weird because I think their  biggest need, by far, is a couple of high quality big bodied midfield bulls to compete with the bontempellis, cripps and Oliver types.

 

Nat Fyfe is probably that mid

Using a few assumptions, he would’ve earned the equivalent of 1,692,900 Qantas frequent flyer points over the course of his playing career… surely they give him the chance to crack the 2 million?  Cruel.

Worthy of another year for sure. At 37 unlikely to be that expensive either. Strange decision

Shades of Boomer Harvey. Get rid of one of your best because, you know, age!

It makes you wonder whether they are serious about the business of winning a Premiership. Mundy is an awesome player and I'd still rate as among their best players.

It’s reminiscent of North forcing Brent Harvey out when he was in blistering form at the back end of his career. And look at North now…

But this is just a snap shot in time. Just like we could have said the same about the Dees in 2017 - 'And look at the Dees now' - yet 5 years further on - we still made the same decision re: James,  'And look at the Dees now'.

I guess what I am saying, is the decision to end Boomers career,  has no baring on the future of North, just like James McDonalds' had no baring on where we are, and similarly where Freo will be.

The case can be made that it slow tracks development though getting rid of leaders too early. Could it be done better?

    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
