I just don’t know where Jones plays in 2019. He sure ain’t an outside running wingman. Look at Collingwood’s wingmen, Sidebottom & Phillips. Wouldn’t they love the thought of playing on Jones.

Pies have much better experienced players in Pendles & Sidebottom compared to Jones & Lewis. Grundy matches our key player in Gawn and they smash us for outside run. They’ll trade Darcy Moore and end up with 2 first rounders this year so let’s hope they don’t nail their picks again.

I’m amazed at the calls for Vince to come in. He was in terrible form before injured, in fact, poor for most of the year. We were terrible tonight with Tyson & Jones on the wings so surely we need to replace at least one of them and we know it won’t be Jones. out Tyson and in either Hunt or Joel Smith fir some leg speed on the fast WA track.

My comparisons (no need for your apostrophe) weren’t based on playing close to goal, they were simply small/medium players that regularly make best 22.

Dahlhaus is a superior player than, Spargo, ANB, AVB, Hannan, JKH & Kent. He is also more of what we need than Tyson. To say he’s not Best 22 is just wrong.

In fairness, I don’t believe any of Frost’s supporters ever said he’d be a “gun”, we just couldn’t understand why so many continually bagged him and stated he wasn’t even AFL standard. Unbelievably early call for someone with so many attributes.

I assume however that you don’t put yourself in that 70% Pro Dee. I know nothing about Facebook surveys but out of interest, were you one of the clueless fools that continuously bagged Frost?

I have come to realise on Demonland that there are some Posters that just object and want to counter argue just for the sake of it. It would make a really interesting study. I suspect that it might have something to do with perhaps not having been player they wanted to be or just general lack of life achievement which manifests itself in keyboard warrior syndrome. As I say, the "let's tear it down", "let's doubt it", "let's ridicule it" reaction is alive and well at Demonland. I've given you a bit of good mail, totally backed up by Pro Dee and all you want to do is still dispute it.

Well the Club agrees because as I say they have withdrawn their earlier interest and they continue to go very hard for Gaff.

Hi Ante_Up. I’d only be guessing because the fact is my strong, direct connections are within several Clubs, Swans, Hawks, & Geelong not the Dees. I must say I’m surprised that anyone is doubting this mail because as I say, prior to my Post, Dan H was only being mentioned in injury reports.

Yes ET, with Grundy and Reid finished for different reasons, they are desperate for May. The feeling is that Gaff’s “brain fade” was due to the incredible stress of the upcoming decision to tell the Weagles that he would be leaving the Club to return home. He loves the Eagles but was favouring a decision to come home and the Club also thought that was the case which led to the massive McGovern offer. Who knows how this recent event changes things.

That was always going to be an issue, particularly when a Club like the Saints who have lower picks gets involved, however, Dan H has to agree to go to a bottom Club like the Saints. To answer your question, if we were to package Tyson & that Adelaide second round pick which is now not too bad you might squeeze something decent from a Carlton etc etc.

Surely, you’re aware as is the whole football world that we had an enormous crack at Dan when he signed his last Contract. Mahoney has been on record earlier this year as saying that he really believed that we had the salary cap ability to bring in 2 top end talents. I suspect that Dan & Andrew Gaff were 2 that we’re in the mix.

As some of you know, particularly Skuitt, many weeks ago I posted that the Dees had an arrangement in place that if Sydney could be satisfied with a very high Draft Pick, Hannaberry would be Demon next year on a long term contract, and as I stated, “very big coin” Let me make it clear that my Demonland Post was the very first mention in any form of media about Hannaberry breaking a Contract with more than 2 full seasons to run. A couple of weeks later Damian Barrett & others started to get a sniff and started running stories. As we now all know, the Saints became aware of Dan’s availability and are in for anything with a pulse and have taken over the running. Let me update you. About 2 weeks ago, the Dees informed Dan’s management & the Swans that due to the necessary but unexpected increase in the contract values of some recent signings that the Melb FC would be withdrawing any interest in that Trade. I believe that the Club also had to increase their offer for Andrew Gaff which made a 4/5 year $800k offer to Dan rather difficult. I can also inform you all that the Swans are desperate for the Hannaberry trade to happen as they are extremely keen on Steven May and need the Pick and the salary cap relief. I have also been told that the Tom Lynch to Richmond deal has been done. Also, just to make yesterday’s defeat worse. In addition to Buddy having the exact same heal injury that sidelined Mitchell Starc for so long, Josh Kennedy has a knee injury that hasn’t allowed him to train for weeks and is also being jabbed to play.

Well Jonathon Brown showed that footage amongst several others on On The Couch as another example of Jesse Hogan being terribly out of position.

The title of this thread is quite possibly the most inaccurate & inappropriate in all my time at Demonland. It has gone on for far too long and is quite frankly demeaning to the Demonland brand. Please close it down.

With the greatest of respect to you and Matthew Lloyd, WattsJurrahDunn and I have been posting this for two years. The media are now only writing about this as well as now discovering what a terrible decision to give Picks 2 & 20 for Tyson, 9 and 57. I heard Terry Wallace rubbishing that deal on SEN yesterday. Well, hello Terry.

Skuit, you gained my respect by your efforts and investigation skills, so what are your thoughts on 4 years for DanHan and having to give a Pick circa 12 - 18? And the coin is serious.

John, Viney will never and can never be an outside mid.

I appreciate he’s coming off no pre season with groin issues but his recent form and in particular his stats tonight indicate as I suggested a player now in decline. I seriously hope I’m wrong but my mail is that Dees have tabled an extremely generous 4 year offer which only requires the Dees to come up with the Pick that satisfies the Swans for this to happen. Swans are desperate for the Salary Cap relief plus need 1st Round Picks for Darcy Moore & McGovern.

G’day Skuit. I missed the first half of this Swans/Cats game as I was at training. I was wondering how DanHan is going mate.

Great work Skuit. However, off the top of my head I recall one where I Posted that my Hawks recruiting mate told me the day after that Draft they had James Sicily ranked about 20 or 30 places higher than they got him at. I remember another Poster who has Murray Bushranger connections slammed that assessment at the time. Hawks seem to have got that one spot on in their assessment. Anyway, I am very confident that this is accurate and will pass on when I can

Look I don’t want to jerk anyone around, as you can see by my number of Posts, I don’t Post often or that regularly compared to most. When I can give you the name I will because I’ll be terribly interested if the opinions are similar to mine in that this player is now in a downward curve having been a very good player and just what we’d need if he were at his best circa 2014.

It is not Sloane.

Yes.
