Unless there's been a change in the last couple of hours, Vanders is not going to Adelaide.

There is just one change. Ben Brown in for Tom Sparrow. Must say that I am really surprised that rather than give Sparrow a rest OR a confidence boosting run at Casey, the "brains trust" has elected to take him to Adelaide along with Jake Melksham as the 2 extras.

Vanders is the Sub. You hope the Med Sub is never needed, however, given he is still short of match play given how little he’s played all year, last week proved that if he can finally get over the foot injury that’s plagued him for 4 years, he is a very valuable commodity with his genuine tackle to hurt factor. I know for a fact that opposition players say they’re a little more comfortable when he’s not there.

Stop, you are making a fool of yourself.

A convincing win by a side that hasn’t played for 5 weeks is much more than an ordinary win. A foolish post.

And from next year’s Draft I believe it increases to Pick 40. In other words, if a Club uses a Pick between 1 & 40, the Academy Club can’t match it. The only thing I’m not sure about is whether these new rules apply to all the Clubs in the development States of NSW & Qld???

Heard from my mate who is in the Maldives having left the IPL, that Warner got into a heated argument with Slater last night and ended up belting him. Mate said that Slater is despised by the players, a total [censored].

Just to add a little clarity. I believe the 7 year deal does not include 2022 which he was already contracted for. They renegotiated next year and added 7 years on, so it is effectively a new 8 year deal starting 2022.

I don't understand your question. To try and assist you, the figure of $900 k came from Ch7 report. I'm just telling you that it is significantly more than that. Adonski, you are one of about 5 other Posters that displayed some level of doubt about my original post along with HardTack, Rod Grinter Squad, CHF and Robbie57. I never quite understand why other Posters express that type of doubt/negativity. Is it envy or a feeling of inadequacy that some posters just have NO level of inside contacts?

I don't think I am revealing too much by telling you it is significantly more than $900 per year.

The 7 years is correct, however, the $900k per season is well off. Thanks for your support dazzledavey36, as you know from past history, when I post a breaking story it is 100% factual.

It’s impeccable. Not sure hundreds would know. It was only tabled 6 hours ago.

This afternoon the Club tabled an offer to CP that if accepted would essentially make him a Demon for life. Stay alert as the offer is so attractive, we might get a prompt acceptance.

Vanders not playing. Injured at training this week.

Petty is a definite starter and he was always going to be. I found it hard to believe that some Posters didn’t have him coming in this week. Despite there being a natural vacancy, he absolutely needs this game before being even more required against the Tigers next week.

It was Pick 2 (Kelly) & 20 if I remember correctly.

He was a very solid defender for several games at the end of last season. Couldn’t understand the negativity towards him over the Summer.

Add the last two to several very good games in defence at the end of last year and you have a very nice body of work in defence. i have been amazed at the negativity towards him from many on this site!!

One on One against a little boy in Bobby Hill on a good track at the G is a far different proposition to chasing Butler, Gresham or Higgins around a lightning fast track at Docklands. Would love to see the Club have the courage to select “horses for courses” and bring in some real leg speed for Docklands. Out = Harmes, Jones & Jetta

By the 2 first rounders you’d get for him.

Will Hamill is a beauty and just what we need and Tom Berry would have been a much better selection.

With the increased speed of ball movement as well as more offensive forward entries as a result of rule changes, I can’t see how Neville Jetta can possibly play as a small defender. Game is now way too fast for Jetta.

More importantly, it takes a Coach with the balls to actually take the hard decision and move the player out of that position OR out of the team. This is where I think we have now evolved. Won't matter if your name is Oliver or Viney or Petracca when he's in there. If you don't play inside mid as Yze wants, you won't play inside mid and if you don't have another position that you can play, you might find yourself playing inside mid at Casey.

PLEASE

Absolutely correct. I believe there is a concern that we have too many that can only play inside midfield and nowhere else. eg Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw, Harmes, Sparrow, Jordan & Vanders. Yze wants team first footy and those not willing to conform will not be in there and will be considered trade worthy and it is only my speculation that the one with most trade value is the one that needs to conform the most. GPS tracks the players who run the most metres towards the opposition’s goal when the opposition has the ball, the Club calls it Defensive Metres and particularly tracks all midfield & forwards on this stat. Most on here would be very surprised if you saw that list of ranked players. Once again, a Demonland whipping boy tops that list.
