Looking at the AFLW, the ball is getting past 50 quicker from kick ins. If we believe we can win the midfield, then the basic press will be deeper and we will man on man closer targets, get the ball on the deck, and win the contested ball. Maxy will have a role in the press, or will cover their ruckman if he sits inside 30-60m. Each team has wins and losses based on accuracy. If we can make them kick under pressure, we can limit their accuracy. Our strategy of the target diamond 30m out gives us the best chance of accurate set shots. i hope your angst will be misplaced....

This is a significant issue for people with visual impairments. In the US, electric cars have to make a noise below 20 kmh. It is an option that is switched off as normal in Australia, and is a real danger to visually impaired people in car parks...

What compensation do teams get if their stars are injured? Imagine if Dangerfield busts something, and Betts blows out a knee. Could have serious implications on the series proper. Hope none of our lads grace this stupidity with their presence

Port should put some of that white powder and a pair of [censored] at the bottom of a pack. Might encourage sir run-around-the-outside to get a possie of his own.

Thanks McQueen. I have reserved it based on your recommendation. Interesting area of human performance...

Toe joint?

One thing they must avoid.... really? Der! no evidence this is remotely in play. we should also avoid playing with funnel web spiders, drinking bleach and dwarf burning. Idiotic piece of summer filler journalism.

I was in a ZZ Top phase and this song was playing when I signed up. Liked the idea that to be a demon tragic often feels like you got no clothes on. People stare and wonder aloud how small your stocks are. Not any more, proud to have my membership out at every opportunity. Avatar is from the tv show the Banana Splits.

An article on the famous 100 100’s run by the 4 Brayshaw boys, but Angus says ‘this year I will be watching on, unfortunately...’ Does anyone know what is going on with Angus that he would miss? Is he carrying an injury, being load managed, or ??? I cant recall having surgery post season (but could be wrong). Would welcome any insight....

I am interested to know how they will train for the 6:6:6. (I know the devil is in the detail, but it seems like on name alone, this system should suit the Demons?) I would be keen to hear if we are doing specific drills for this, or if this will come much later just before JLT??

I wonder what the philosophy behind this choice was?

Finals: first hurdle to pass. Means making the 8. Double chance: significant benefit. Means top 4, much more difficult with our draw, and will be a big improvement on 18. the big dance: means winning at the right time, in good form, few injuries. A distinction effort flag: wowee! Smashing expectations.

Do we have to ‘nominate’ him beforehand like father son nominations? If so, by when?

he wants to be in WA, but will spend half his time travelling to play footy!

So we got what we wanted, and upgraded a pick so we now have 2 reasonable second rounders. Seems to be a successful trading period, only losing Hogan and Kent, both who wanted out, plus our delisted and retiring players. Listening to him speak it sounds like it all went to plan, thank you very much. Intersting to see if there are any late ‘hail mary’s’ to liven up the telecast. Otherwise I think our queue is firmly in the rack. I rate it a successful trade period, given what we were starting with. On a separate note, Peter Bell is a flat out liar and cannot be trusted.

We also have the Cat B rookie Walker, being lined up as a developing tall forward.

Welcome SM!

What has he done to be worth more than 6 and 23? When has he put together an uninterrupted season? (not counting Casey as a 17 YO) When has he absolutely dominated a game? How many B&F's? He is not without risk. He is a talent, and has potential. Lets just take what we can get, and move on.

Thanks for your service. Don't let the door hit you on the [censored] on the way out.

Assuming we need two forwards, or that we can't develop Tangles into one? Stuff happens. The Tiggers won a flag with only Riewoldt and smalls. Collingwood are built around mids and nearly got there (with a big cox in the mix). Hogan can go and be whatever. What matters is that we create a TEAM that wants to win together, and has the capability to do so.

If we end up with May, KK and a mid 20 pick for Hogan, it isn’t unders or overs. It is taking care of business. We will have improved the list as per our plans, and although Hogan is a player of high capability and potential, he may deliver us a flag by departing. We will get stronger as a team, but lose an individual who could be brilliant. We also save $1mio per year in cap, which will be useful spread elsewhere.

So, do we value Hogan to us at $1 mio per year? What would we need to see him deliver for this to be fair pay?

I would take pick 5 and offer it around for something like an 8 and a 14. Or 8 and next year’s first. Give either to gc for May and kk, and still be back in the first round

A future round first pick will still be less than their FA compo on current form, so we have nothing to give them (pick wise), and there are no rumblings about players. I think this goes on hold until next year, or we get boned by Footscray.

Think GCS will chase future picks as the are pretty loaded this trade period.
