I hear your concerns on Meek  but Grundy WAS a multiple AA and WAS a B and F.  His contract has too many years left on it.

Big risk I can't see Pert signing off on unless contarct terms are rock solid our way risk-wise.

Every recruit is a risk, signing players for 7 or 8 years is a risk.  You don’t get opportunities to sign stars of the comp on a reduced rate whilst in the window.   Grundy is a beast and will make us a better side

Hawks have put their hat in the ring.  So four clubs with interest:  GWS, Eagles and Demons.

That Meek has requested a trade suggests he isn't coming.  If he was he would know he is part of the Jackson trade.  We may have lost interest or perhaps he is testing the market before committing to us.

Reckon he would fancy his chances of a regular 22 spot at the Hawks more than with us.  Ditto at WCE and he is a West Australian.

Given all that I doubt he is coming to mfc.

Edit:  Just read this on foxfooty:  “GWS is the most likely, but Gold Coast, North Melbourne, Richmond, St Kilda and Geelong are all showing interest in Meek".

He is originally from around Ballarat FYI - not from WA

Thanks.  That makes a difference.  Lots of clubs in the running then.

Sorry but this will be a disastrous trade for us if it goes ahead imv.   Pies will be ecstatic though!

Been reported that GWS are willing to pay him $600k a year.  I didn’t realise he was that well thought of. You would think an early second round pick might be required if they are going to pay him those wages. 
With Logue, Acres, Tucker and probably Lobb all rumoured to be heading out of Freo they should easily be able to get the draft capital to satisfy us in the Jackson trade.

he's a much better tap ruckman than darcy, but they committed to darcy coin wise and contract wise already, long term mistake for them i rkn, he's already struggling to carry that size of his around for an entire season and that'll only get worse as he ages. the giants surely cant go into next season with preuss/flynn/briggs AND meek tho. briggs just signed a new deal and preuss has lost currency so i'd imagine its academy boy flynn who's shown bits and has a decent amount of FWD craft who goes... we did bid on him in his draft year

AFL reporting Meek's preferred club is Hawthorn.

Freo saying they want to keep him as he is under contract. 

Normally I would think that is posturing but they are about to lose 3-5 tall players so I can see they would want to keep him.

hed waltz straight in past the beanpole reeves and maxy lynch no issues. good decision for him, a quick way into a long 8-9 year career at a side you just know will spring back up the ladder in a few years time when mitchell has everything in order

Says a little about Freo if they don't let Meek go.

It seems an unwritten rule that if a player cannot get a regular game at a club and is offered an opportunity at another everything reasonable is done to facilitate the move.

Witness what we are doing with Weid. There's no upside for us in letting him go a year early but it's happening

It sounds childish if they want to keep Lobb and Meek. Meek has been on the list for 5 years and wants opportunity, need to let one of these guys go and do the right thing.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
