Is this true??? :wacko:

Sydney are one team that I believe still make stupid decisions come trade week, but I guess you can't argue with the success they have had.

Sydney's future is not looking very promising.

They have blooded very few youth in the last three seasons and to loose young Dempster, their young brigade is looking pretty shakey.

McVeigh could possibly be the only one under 22 regularly in the side?

Hardly stupid decisions then. :blink:

Sydney are playing for now. Roos has stated that they cannot afford to trough. In addition, they need to make the most of the moment while they have OLoughlin, Hall, Goodes, Kirk etc.

Neither player mentioned is key 22 material at Sydney.

Disagree RR

2007: Schneider 21 games, ave disposals 15.3,

Dempster 14, 11.2. (as a 3rd tall type defender)

Both are 23 years old. If they're playing for now, what good is a late 2nd round pick compared to 2 players about to hit their prime with a few years under their belts and finals experience.

Maybe Roos has worked out what you might have overlooked.

St Kilda have not learnt their lessons on crocks. They have the most injury prone list in the comp and they recruit King and Schneider!!

Schneider is reasonable, but no gamebreaker

Dempster is just a dud

This move was a financial one, nothing else. Sure it will help the saints short term, but who really cares? If CAC though they would help the club, he would have thrown his hat in the ring. He didnt, so i can live with that.

Schneider and Dempster are both good players. The Saints have done very well.

yeh dempster may prosper at the saints much in the same way malceski has at the swans... he will be given lots of chances to play off half back no doubt or tag... schneider is a great pick up as they aim to win a flag while riewoldt is in his peak... if they can finally get their injuries on track next year, they could be dangerous... a BIG IF BUT

How do you know he wasn't at all interested?

From the limited times I've seen Schneider, he's seemed alright.

    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.

    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. 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
