Demons1858

Looking forward to using 3-peat

Check the start of the podcast for DAY10 ... Tim is very impressive from what I have seen to date not just in this trade period ... love that he acknowledges the contribution of Todd Viney and others https://www.afl.com.au/podcasts/afl-exchange

l had my MFCSS surgically removed

Important to be modest. l just tell my friends that we won't know if the dees are any good until we play a team above us on the ladder

So we have picks 17, 37, 49, 57, and 94 and 4 uncontracted list spots given no announcements yet on some players. Likely that: pick 94 isn't used we sign Hibberd for a year we sign Hore for a year (if his body is ok) as he is better than pick 49 or 57 in the draft as depth Declase I am assuming will miss out If that's right, we only select two players in the draft. So we need to do some pick swaps to get whatever value we can out of 49 and 57 i.e. swap pick 37, 49, and 57 for pick 32 etc

Part of the deal might also be that the other 3 clubs involved in the swap don't pick Mac Andrews. Not part of the trade rules but it happens

So looking purely at the draft spots we lose out here. Although other factors are clearly at play I am sure i.e. strength of this years & next years draft, father son selections pushing spots back, academy points needed, potentially packaging some of these picks up and swapping them again with other clubs, a particular player in mind etc. Will hold faith for now as the team have runs on the board

I think it was TIm Lamb leading, going by the clubs vids of trade nights when they picked up Jacko, Kozzie, and Rivers

Yep, in terms of chat about what's potentially going out, its: AVB Kade Chandler

Among the other clubs to come forward for the Suns' pick 19, which they were officially granted last week as part of the AFL's concession package, is Melbourne. The 2021 premiers' first pick for this year's draft is No.33 but the Demons are interested in grabbing the Suns' pick 19 in a deal that would require Melbourne to offload its future first-round pick.

The 22-year-old Stengle parted ways with the Crows at the start of this season but has gone on to star for Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL. He kicked 44 goals in 19 matches including three goals in the Grand Final win over Glenelg last weekend. As Stengle is a delisted free agent the Cats could pick him up without having to deal with the Crows, but would have to fight off reported interest from Melbourne, Collingwood and for a return to the Tigers.

Agree, if we imagine a scenario where one maybe two of our mids/wings/forwards get injured he will be very handy pick up. He also won't cost us anything. Has excellent ball winning ability and Choco will sort out his kicking and decision making pretty quickly.

Agree with that

I had a different take of him watching 'Making Their Mark' - didn't come across as someone that has a really strong presence about him when talking with the players. Small sample though

Given some of their top 10 trade misses in recent years they probably shouldn't be joke too much about it ...

If its a salary dump which the pies need in order to move on plus a future 1st rounder and sweetener then it is possible. We seem to have space in the cap given the Cerra approach

Given we don't have to make room (it seems) for a higher profile player to come in this trade period, it will be useful to keep our depth for another tilt at the 2022 flag. Melk & Weid, will get promised equal opportunities by Goody (if they work hard in the off season) and if we get a normal amount of injuries they become important for us again.

Hmmm ... doesn't seem like a promotion as such which makes the change curious ... perhaps he has a greater responsibility for team performance in the new role ... not sure

Think someone shared this earlier ... aggregates articles and vids also https://www.myheartbeatstrue.com/

Yep it's his bro who played a few games at MFC and had to retire due to injury ... recommend everyone pass this onto pies supporters they know ... it's guaranteed to get the alarm bells going after last years fire sale

Yes, but he started the rise to our premiership and his legacy deserves to stay intact hence why he has spoken out I suspect. Some of Kate's comments recently suggesting she has made a difference by showing Goody new found support are selfish if I am being honest. Never heard Glenn praise himself always talked about the board achievements. Hopefully Kate stops talking about herself

Seems some are trying to rewrite history on what Barlett did or didn't do ... if there is an unsung hero on the board it is he ... reserving judgement on Kate but initial impressions are she is pretty happy with herself ... Glenn has always been an honest type and so trust his comments below are true https://www.sen.com.au/news/2021/10/01/ex-demons-president-revisits-soft-as-butter-criticism/

You can get anyone that adds to your list when you are in premiership mode as long as they improve your list and don't cost you anything extraordinary. 1 year or 5 years it doesn't matter if it wins you another flag

He is better around goals than most of our smalls so would be a good pick up in my view if he came for free ... Sparrow and Jordan are primarily mids that can go forward and contribute
