TDK is a nice player, but I reckon they're going to shed a highly paid player soon. He's a difficult one, because they've already got two star forwards and a good ruckman, if I were them I'd be trying to turn TDK into another mid or even a Houston.

Meh.

We have way more pressing needs.

Like elite mids to support Viney, Clarry and Trac.

And half backs to help our transition game.

Houston and Cumming are still good ideas, Cumming is preferable given he only costs TPP.

Some on ground support for Max who can play forward……I’d be taking mids at the draft.

Isnt it just funny how, when it was Melbourne FC - a sure thing - it was 2 first round picks. Now its supposedly possible with Carltons Pick 11. Heck Doggies and Pies want him and they dont even have a first round pick.

Just the media doing their work to get all the good players to Cats, Blues or Pies.

According to an AFL and Gettable (paid partnership) Instagram post made 4 hours ago, he’s talking to four clubs… Pies, Dogs, Blues and Saints.

Perhaps we're looking elsewhere and moved on from someone who like him who would cost and arm and a leg and way too much for someone closing in on 30 years of age?

Hopefully it’s a sign that we intend to go to the draft with pick 5.

Hard to fathom that Houston basically nominated us as his preferred club until we imploded and went all MFC on everyone. We could had a 2 time reigning All Australian, a top 5 user of the football and arguably our best recruit in the Goodwin era.

Another reference below in relation to Houston's initial intentions - being the MFC as his club of choice before we stuffed everything up.

How do you know this is not just Port and Houston's management having a sook because we pulled our initial first round pick offer? 

Carlton don't want to take pick 11 for him, but we are expected to trade pick 5?

He may well still want to come to us, but Port may have cracked it and said its pick 5 or we won't trade.

I'm only going by separate reports from Jay Clark and Cal Twomey that the player himself has essentially changed his mind. When you get the same information from multiple media sources that are independent of each other you'd probably think there's validity in the claim.

In any respect, Houston is worth a top 5-10 pick given his recent achievements, and if he did nominate us (which he won't at this stage), then I'd be willing to trade pick 5 with a bit of change coming back our way due to his age.

Carlton should stump up pick 11 outright for Houston if they desperately want him.

It’s definitely Houston that doesn’t want to come to us anymore, all picks are on the table this year, including our future first

We want to take pick 5 to the draft. When we started the conversation with Houston our first pick was somewhere in the high teens. Connect the dots.

All picks being on the table,  and all picks being traded for all players is not the same thing.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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
