We're keeping tabs according to AFL.com.au and have held long term interest.

Comes out of contract at the end of 2026.

Don’t reckon they will let him go with Dixon well and truly cooked. 

Dixon has announced his retirement and Marshall might not make it back from concussion, so I agree there is no chance

We didn't want to let Jackson go either...but when he's out of contract (2026) if not before, the race is on.

Lord is an interesting option - cost the only issue assuming he is available

Love this option, this kid showed a lot last year.  This year ruined by injuries.  I'd prioritise getting him over that GWS kid.  Both would be great of course.

I always thought we were in the market for Georgiades but that never eventuated.

we were until he did his acl in the sanfl, i believe

after that he rehabbed at the pear and then moved into the position of being their key forward given lord's injury run in 2024, marshall's ongoing concussion concerns, and dixon's failing body

he'll be their prime forward for the foreseeable future, you'd imagine

Port are linked to Lukosius, Cumming and Perrymen.

Currently they only hold picks 36 and 54 in the 2024 draft.

Houston and Soldo have asked for trades but are no certainty to leave if they cant get it done.

If we make a compelling offer, or if Lord firmly says he wants out, it may force Port's hand so they can get other deals done.

Marshall, Lukosius and Georgiades is still a good set of tall forwards to have if they lose Lord.

Marshall might not play again.

Cumming and Perryman are free agents.

They could probably get Lukosius with those picks, Soldo and a future 2nd. Certainly with a future first.

They have no incentive to trade Lord.

Lord trained with us as part of the afl academy, he was pick 49 in the 2020 draft.

It was the covid year and list cut down draft. We didn’t have a 3rd rounder, we took Fraser Rosman in the 2nd round.

Probably fair enough given we had a strong list in 2021 and half the kids in the draft missed most of the year but in general this is exactly why I’m in favour of always having at least 4, if not 5 national draft picks and rather than picking the eyes out of the draft just take lots of lottery tickets.

Much better off drafting our own Ollie Lord than make desperate offers to a guy contracted for 2 years who may or may not actually be any good

Unlikely if we have just got Wade D to commit to us. We still have Jeffo and Kentfield to come.

We’ll be doing well if Jeffo is a good player and one of the other 2 proves useful in anyway at all. So it doesn’t hurt to be on the front foot to try to get Lord in 2026 and even more so when he’s a free agent post 2028 (if he extends until free agency as most players do).

It’s just very hard to get quality key forwards to move to any club, yet alone for the Dees to land one.

Given he's the grandson of 1960's Geelong player Alastair Lord, I reckon there will be a strong pull to get him back there (although maybe in 5-10 years time when he's early-mid 30's)

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
