Injury/body concerns or other?

The young players at the MFC are unsettled? Really? They're all getting opportunities and most starting to show their wares.

I know some of them were a bit shellshocked after a big post West Coast bake, but I haven't heard anything about being unsettled...

I have also heard some parents of younger players not happy with a few things, which have occurred since the end of last season. 
 

Nothing terminal but a few things need to be sorted out moving forward

Which means Trac can play more forward?? 

Trac won't want to play forward again in a hurry after the knee to his spleen.

Surely no one’s shocked by this

I would look at Jack Silvagni. I know he is coming off a knee injury but I like his versatility as a forward, midfielder and second ruck.

Absolutely agree.  I have no idea why Blues fans hate him so much, maybe they don't like his Mums ads for Chemist Warehouse or whatever it is. 

Change of scene may do him good.  And possibly some moisturiser.

Apologies if this has been covered off, but doing a bit of a stocktake (happy new financial year Dees fans!) and we *should* have salary cap space in lieu of:

  • BBB
  • Brayshaw
  • Smith
  • Hunter / Billings / McAdam?
  • Laurie

The first two should be a nice chunk of change.  Surely we can go after some talent?

Billings, Mcadam and Laurie are all contracted so won’t be going anywhere. The others are likely, plus Tomlinson.

Reckon Laurie, McAdam and possibly Billings are contracted in 2025.

King has kicked 159.115 in his first 5 seasons in a terrible team with zero skilled mids. Including a 52.49 season  

And people compare him to Weid? 

[censored] me. watch some football  He us 202cm  he would transform our team

Question marks over his body are there but I would give up 2 first rounders any say of the week for him

Hold your horses, we can get him with one pick, maybe two only if St Kilda pays 30% of his contract

King is staying with the Saints and they are working on a new contract.

Here is the list and I’d like all of them.

Lukosius- to play back

Waterman- He and JVR 🤤

Lobb- 3rd tall and Ruck

Dylan Shiels- won’t cost much and apparently back to peak powers. 
 

Just need a medium defender.

 

Howes to wing, Juddy and Rivs to play more midfield along with Windsor.

Don't mind this, but just keep Howes at half back as medium defender.

If we bring in Rory Lobb a few Demonlanders heads will explode I imagine...

Please no Rory Lobb...

Isn't there anyone else we can bring as a second ruck? Ideally Kalany White will be with us at the end of next year.

I really don't think there are many options out there unfortunately, so who knows maybe we will have a crack with Rory Lobb....

Kalani White won't drafted until 2025 and even then will take a good 2-3 years to be a consistent performer.

Mabior Chol was the one we probably should've gone for last year, but even he is pretty inconsistent.

We had the best ruck/forward in the league.... but he got homesick

Agree. Would love him in our forward line.

Was a defender and a very very good one, with the best field kicking of all key defenders.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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.
