DistrACTION Jackson

This is a good point, I would pay all our picks for another flag. It also doesn't take into account the potential to add more players through trade and free agency in future to continue replenishing our list...

I agree with this, especially considering we have two potential key position players to draft next year. Getting a genuine gun midfielder to complement Windsor & Kolt from last year is an absolute must in my eyes. The only other option I see is if JT and co think there are 15-20 players they rank in a similar level, they may look to split our first with Freo's two first rounders and use one for Houston and take the other to the draft....

The issue with trading 2025 first rounder is if the afl bidding rules change we may need one for either Ah-Mu or White. We’ve been really good at trading picks so I’m sure they are all over it

Time to put Caleb in cotton wool and get him ready for a massive pre-season.

I don't think we have fully reverted back, but we have definitely been tinkering with a few things. Based on media reports we are into players like Houston & Cummings, so we are obviously trying to continue to evolve our ability to rebound off D50.

Pretty sure that is what we have been working on all year but haven't been able to perfect it.... yet.

Let it go Tom you germ

What the hell is going on with that competition. It’s a complete joke

Think we can keep him on the rookie list

Well Smith is out of contract this year so we don't have to continue with him on our list for the foreseeable future? Gus, Brown and Schache will all be off the list come next year so that will give us flexibility.

Is it just me or is Demonland collectively falling apart more than usual? 😅

Given we are likely to have a top 10 pick this year I hope we don’t use it on Houston. We can get a gun mid for that pick. I’d be hopefully taking Cummings as a free agent instead. Guessing we will also look at a decent back up ruck option. Reidy from Freo. Bryan from bombers. Anyone else a potential option?

I’m all for giving him a game before the end of the season. Nothing to lose

I was angry last night but have calmed down now and accept that the performance is just where we are at and we just need to look at small wins. I do hope the FD are realists and if we have players that will need surgery in the off-season get them in now so we are ready to go day 1 of preseason. We aren’t winning a flag this year, but no reason we can’t do it next year with a fit list.

Is the AFL the only sport in the world that you play a team actually owned by the competition you’re playing in?

What a terrible loss. Took me back the the Alice last year and now I’m getting cold sweats

Jeffo showing some great signs. Just wish he could finish his work!

No doubt cranky would’ve been one of the first asking for Frost to be delisted… now all of a sudden he’s the greatest full back in history

C’mon cranky. bedford would be good but the rest are list cloggers and Jeff Garlett retired years ago…

I don't think we are easy to deal with, so much as we are happy to pay fair value for a player without haggling over small things.

The issue is Dan Houston is contracted, whereas Jacko wasn't. If he is hellbent on leaving then often a club will eventually get the deal done, but there will e a fair bit of haggling in this one I'd say.

He's a mate of mine and is nothing like Sam McClure. He is a genuienly good journo who always triple checks his info and doesn't make outlandish claims

Exactly. Media - creates noise. Also media - this distraction is effecting the club

McQualter today when asked about it - simply not true

I love Caleb
