Adelaide is making the early running on the final day of trade week. It just recruited defender Brad Symes from Port Adelaide in exchange for pick No.28 - which the Crows had received from Sydney in the Marty Mattner deal.

Roos ruckman Brad Moran will now call Adelaide home.

The Kangaroos traded the 200cm big man to the Crows for pick No.37 in this year's NAB AFL Draft.

So the Crows have virtually swapped Meesen for Moran, and Mattner for Symes.

Plus they'll get a pick from the Bulldogs for Ben Hudson.

Anyone banging their heads against a brick wall over our current plight should have a look across the MCG carpark to Punt Rd. How Richmond can justify trading pick 19 for one of the softest players running around is beyond me. Had Melbourne made a similar deal, I would have been tempted to ring up sports talkback on the radio for the first time ever. Truly astonishing ineptitude from the Tigers brainstrust.

Symes is a great pick up for the Crows.

I'm not sure why they would persist with Moran when they have Biglands returning from injury and Griffen and Maric showing a lot of promise. If anyone I thought they would have pushed harder to get Cameron Wood to come home.

I am surprised at Richmond's interest in Jordan McMahon. Struck me as exactly what they dont want.

Agree, glad we did not get mcmahon.

I can't see the appeal either. He is soft as butter, and while he has pace, his disposal is often very slack.

at least he's only 20 i suppose, still don't see what's going on down at punt rd.

hopefully they then pick up morton in the draft, and let cotchin slip through to us...*excellent*

We are probably going to lose Cotchin (and pick 18) because of that Carlton win. Great if he slips down but now looking unlikely. Would have had pick 18 which is only 4 picks lower than what we got for Travis.

2, 14, 18 and 20 has a nice ring to it doesn't it?

humorous listening to greg miller...

mcmahon has pace as discussed but turns it over and is unaccountable!

tigers could get brennan in the pre-season but again, he has failed to deliver...

at least we know we are better than the tigers!!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
