We have showed strong interest in GC ruckman Ned Moyle according to Jon Ralph.

Adelaide and Collingwood are also other clubs showing interest.

We desperately need a back up ruck (non project)

22yo mid season pick

206cm

only played 5 games

worth a gamble. Had 17 touches and 26 hit outs last week

He is playing AFL so we know he would be an upgrade on Fullarton.

Won’t come to us, for the very reason we lost Grundy.

If Max was say retiring this year ,I think we would have the best chance of the clubs named.

Not so sure about that. It’s easy to forget after the Grundy debacle that Jackson and Gawn worked so  well for all parties. It’s a great opportunity for an up and coming ruckman to learn from the GOAT for a cpl of years in a lesser role. It just wasn’t a great opportunity fr an already established AA ruckman.

Hope Ned sees it your way.

Disagree. The kid is quality but is still only 22 and whilst he dominates VFL and has shown good signs at AFL level I suggest he would know he is not ready for a full season as a number 1 ruck.

Agree. Learn at the foot of the master before taking the reins in a couple of years

We could do with a Moyle on the team.

Someone who is surgical and not afraid to make incisions in sensitive areas.

There could be a few tears though!

He's an absolute unit, and is pretty clearly too good for the VFL based on his GF performance last year. Far better ruck prospect than Fullarton, although he is a pure ruck and will offer nothing as a forward.

Can't imagine we'd be the most attractive option given Max stands in his way.

We need a succession plan, why wouldn't someone come for that very reason, Gawn is getting older and will likely retire in a few years as if you wouldn't want to learn from the best and then look to take the baton when he finishes up.  

Let's get him or Ethan Reid, get down here!!!

Max is one injury away from retirement we must have suitable back up and future ruck 

Ned looks the goods

we are chancing fate having now ready back up in my view

Ideal get IMO. Massive unit who can't be moved off the line and follows up strongly with tackles and clearance.  I'd pay a lot.

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
