afl.com.au/aflw'Take a breath': Demons coach coy on future after agonisi...Mick Stinear has been linked to at least one vacant coaching job

Am I right in thinking he is Surf Coast based? Geelong would be the obvious choice

2 years?! My God, they have Jackson, Darcy, Treacy, Amiss, Voss. Surely they didn't need 34 year old Cox?

Google says 4-12 weeks without surgery, and 6-9 months with surgery. Not sure when he actually went under the knife but given it sounds like he's only just walking again youd probably think he's at the start of the 6-9 mth mark

Good size, looks pretty quick. But yes, kicking looks average and he doesn't seem to give a handball unless he's being tackled. That's a good trait when you can use the ball, and a bad one when you can't. Hopefully they can work on his disposal

Also close with Willem Duursma, in case he wants to head back to Vic...

Are we allowed to trade GCs pick back to them? Maybe we move it for another 1st rnd and trade that.

If he doesn't get bid on he goes straight to the rookie list

So, dodgy was a pretty good descriptor 😁 Really, anyone who was willing to put any money into the club around that time deserves a medal

Which was the really dodgy one? EnergyWatch?

These smaller companies are also probably run or owned by Dees fans. And my understanding is they can usually use sponsorships for tax purposes. For what it's worth, I was pretty sure MA Group are in this category, were already a sponsor and have just upgraded.

Carlton have 2 first round picks next year then a 4th rnd. They also have 2 first round picks for 2027. I can't remember the new rules for next year, but they could potentially use a third 1st round pick next year if they are chasing Butters. But equally they may really need the points for Dean this year.

Effectively half, before 37 comes in due to bids (which will happen after Carlton needs to match). 25 - 590 pts 37 - 297 pts

Retired due to a heart condition after collapsing during a game in 2018. Was actually a very good player for the Saints before that (I googled all of this...)

I don't think it's a deliberate play to make it obvious, but when you have finite resources, you need to put them towards those you are interested in. And when players or managers don't get attention from clubs, that's where the mail comes from. I don't think JT and team should be travelling and spending time meeting players they aren't going to draft.
