AFL TRADE NEWS AND RUMOURSÂ
Agree. He is the one that could be very handy for us, at a cheap pick. I posted as much a while ago and at 22 and 195cms he is the right age and versatile.

AFL TRADE NEWS AND RUMOURSÂ
Agree. We are really lucky to have JT and his team, because there are better players coming through, that will not necessarily be high draft picks, who will be better than many of the players currently changing clubs. Good development and shrewd drafting are the foundation of future success and we are now good in both those areas. Given we have a good young list, we can cherry pick a player or two and otherwise draft for the future. That is why a Mac Andrew is less of a risk for us, than other clubs using a high draft pick, as he will not be an instant AFL player. Clubs below us want an instant return, whereas we can take some time to develop players to replenish the list as our current list is a young one that has proved itself.

AFL TRADE NEWS AND RUMOURSÂ
Carlton looms as one potential candidate for Lewis Young as it searches for key position depth. The Blues have also been linked to a possible play for West Coast's Jarrod Brander. With Cerra and Hewitt, it looks like Carlton will get every player changing clubs in the AFL.

Sertiously? Bont wouldn't help, Walsh, Dusty, Max King, De Goey, Andy Brayshaw, Luke Ryan, Whitfield, Toby Greene, etc, etc. The list can always be improved and if we think it can't, we will go backwards.

Mac Andrew
Well maybe not God, but certainly one of his prophets.

Mac Andrew
Lord Nev has given the answer above and additionally our first pick is 33, hardly a top pick. Would imagine JT would be thrilled to get Mac at 33.

Mac Andrew
Mac is managed by Traccâs brother Julian. GWS looking likely to take him. I am sure he will be very homesick in 2 years.

Wish they were running our club, so we could get the number 1 draft pick each year.

Farewell Austin Bradtke
Agree. I thought he looked ok playing CHB at Casey too. Given we have only 2 ruckmen and the 195 cm Daw, who will be 31 and is very slow, I am surprised we let this kid go. I wonder if they can rookie him again.

A Shout Out to Saty
Good post BB. Log on Saty and be part of the group love in, you deserve it. Your unswerving loyalty to the club canât ever be questioned. Enjoy our success, with those of us who appreciate your efforts.

Farewell Aaron NietschkeÂ
Very unlucky and wish him well in the future. Never had the chance to show his ability.

Gary Ayres Player of the Finals
I find it surprising that given his history of finals failure, they have persisted and extended his contract. No wonder young players want out.

Whoâs going to fill the back pocket?
Pretty sure he and his Manager said he was staying a Pie.

Delistings 2021
Melksham might seek a new club as could Chandler, Baker and Bedford. Whatever is done this year with the list, will also have next years plans factored in. It is a balancing act, to allow for a certain amount of change each year. Fantastic for us, we also have the Premiership recruiter.
-
Adam Cerra
I think he should go to Carlton, as they are such a strong, well run, stable club, with a great culture, who play a magnificent team based game.
-
Mac Andrew
Interesting that we have delisted Bradtke and now have only Daw, at 195 cms and 31 before next season, as a backup to Max and LJ. JT must have something in mind to provide us with some ruck depth.

Delistings 2021
Well said Samantha. Nev retires a Demon great, liked by all. Well done Nev. Enjoy your retirement and hopefully it sees you with a new role at the MFC.

Gary Ayres Player of the Finals
Thatâs not the point. We all know Tracc wouldnât give a ratâs, but it is a discussion of a totally flawed AFL award.

Gary Ayres Player of the Finals
Thatâs my point.

3 goals in 32 seconds - the quickest 3 goals ever?
In that last 50 seconds of the 3rd quarter, we saw 2 of the best handballs ever by Demons that led to goals. Viney falling over, handballs under enormous pressure to Tracc and the other, Jacko on the run, puts it in front of Clarry, running at full pace, who doesnât need to break stride, for a brilliant goal on the run. I will never forget those 2 handballs which in a big way helped win us a flag.

Brayden Maynard
Already said he is staying a Pie.

Farewell Aaron vandenBerg
Think this has been done early to give them time to maybe find another club. Thanks guys and good luck in the future.

Gary Ayres Player of the Finals
Not that it matters that much, but this award has to be meaningless, considering that some players have more games to play in. MacRae beat Tracc by 2 votes after playing in 4 games, compared to Traccâs 3 games. Surely you would weight the votes, if you wanted the award to stand for something.

Bontempelli hit and Daniel tackle
You are allowed one of those a game.
