A elite key forward is an amazing luxury, but elite mids will always be more valuable. JJ, Sparrow etc are great but we need to plan for a future after Trac and Oliver

    Add on 3+ years of developing the high-pick mid/forward and they're 30+ and 28+

    Can anyone who has access let me know what this is about? It's probably nothing we don't already know but I am intrigued

    Just mentions us having Freo's first and second round pick. Nothing new or exciting.

    We have defensive and forward recruits... This year we should top up on mids.

    I think we need another young key forward and Kozzie type and then mids or best available.

    We will need more than JVR and Jefferson, if he makes it, as key forwards.

    Hopefully the Kozzie type becomes a little less important, after the original signs a long term contract extension with us.

    You could never have enough Kozzie’s, Red.

    Agree.

    Wishlist would include: 

    1. Mid/fwd
    2. Skillful mid who can play inside/wing/flanks
    3. Ruc/fwd

    We have enough small fwds given Chandler's development - assuming we retain Pickett that is. But maybe Nick Watson is too good if available?

    I’m not sure if there is a right or wrong but I’d hate for us to be linked to someone and it was telegraphed in April.

    I definitely think we will look at bundling up multiple first round picks this year and next year and trying to inject some top end midfield talent 

    I rate our developing keys in Jefferson and Van Rooyen. i am really optimistic what they will become 

    salary cap permitting i'd have a very serious look at Ben Mckay as a long term replacement for Steven May to extend our window

    Agreed. How many good KPFs in this year's crop that would go top 10? And are there any Kozzy types that are gettable with our likely picks? @Pennant St Dee @IvanBartul13 @ChaserJ @spirit of norm smith @Chelly

    @Demons11 has had pretty good mail in the past. We understand some things change and there's always lots of moving pieces. At least you don't do riddles...

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
