I would try and prize him out with as much as we can afford, would make us a premiership threat again next year

Is there a different Peter Wright?

I like Wright but he has been poor this year and average last year.  Even dropped this year when the bombers have few tall fwds

If he gets his head right he is a quality mark and straight kick for a big man

Bombers would want a fair bit for him and he would want a big contract being 28 soon

Where are those blokes with all the inside Goss on trade targets? I want a left fielder

Deven Robertson signed a 2 year deal at Brisbane last year but finds himself stuck in the twos. Only played 2 AFL games this year. 

He had 36 touches and 13 clearances in the VFL on the weekend. He has struggled in the AFL but I wonder if that's the role he needed to play.

He will find it tough to crack into Brisbane before finals, and with another Ashcroft coming, he will find himself even further down the pecking order in 2025.

We know that Jason Taylor was extremely disappointed to miss him on draft day. Wonder if we're looking at him again.

He's from WA and the Eagles went after him last year, but they'll be giving up picks to get Baker from Richmond.

I'd be interested in looking at Stengle if he's gettable. Would be nice to have a small forward that can actually crumb, and is disciplined enough to sit front and square. What we'd give to have Toby Bedford back right now.

Looking for a good pre-season from Spargo too.

I respectfully disagree. However what concerns me is that this is the type of trade Tim Lamb will probably get done. Follows in the same style as Hunter, McAdam, Billings etc. 

One key criteria is a player that is playing more than 80% gametime in the AFL in 2024 and is < 28. Even its just for depth and role playing, this is an absolute must.

Is PW the sort that could play that second ruck role @Pennant St Dee?

Probably and up until this year was going well at Essendon, has he fallen away due to them now being to tall or are is his workfare questionable. I wouldn’t be selling the farm for him

We cannot give up 2 firsts for Houston. 1 pick, take it or leave it. If they don't accept that then we take a star mid in the draft and pick up Cumming, Perryman or another half back for far far less. If we finish 13th and then somehow miss finals again next year, we could end up giving up pick 6 and roughly pick 10. No player in the history of the game has ever been traded for that much.

If we were getting prime Buddy or Dusty then sure, but we aren't. I love Houston as a player and think he would fit in well but, we must stick fat and not sacrifice the future. He's also nearly 28.

It could be a Taranto and Hopper situation if things don't go well. Not worth it imo.

This is my ideal scenario:
 

Draft:
- Top 6 pick 

Trade:
- ⁠Future first for Waterman and their 3rd rounder 
- ⁠2nd rounder and Eagles 3rd for Peter Wright (he’s on the outer) 
- ⁠Josh Battle Free agent 

Summary:

In: 
- Waterman 
- ⁠Peter Wright 
- ⁠Battle 
- ⁠Pick 6 
- ⁠Eagles 3rd rounder 

Out
- Future first 
- ⁠2nd rounder 
- ⁠Eagles 3rd rounder

Battle is an undersized key defender.

too many talls maybe?

wright's form has completely abandoned him

waterman would be great, i think, but i'm convinced that the talk of him leaving is purely managerial manoeuvring to get a decent contract uplift now in his pre-agency year

Yes,too many talls. Back up ruck is a must but we need midfielders,  midfielders, midfielders!!

We just don't seem to draft any 200cm+ players....

At least Petty at 197cm is close and hopefully we get back to playing him in his best position... DEFENDER

We are apparently looking at Eagles’ Harry Edwards who is a key back and 204 cms.

    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
