This thread is ripe for a...

It is always a good idea to wait until the end of list lodgement on this stuff before making full assessments on pick trades. On face value I'd prefer we go after pick 9, but who knows, perhaps Essendon have already said you won't have enough to get pick 9. Therefore, we've gone hard at the next best option. I'd like us to use both first rounders (if we can land it) on draftees, but I wonder if we're think 13 for Houston... I wouldn't be entirely against it if we got a top 5 prospect on top. At least you know what you're getting with Houston.

It also gives us potential to try Windsor in other roles like half back with some midfield bursts.

I wonder if this means Windsor moves to half back and mid rotation. Very interesting move.

This is where our 2024 ladder position and question marks over Clarry, Trac and Koz help us. Some clubs would definitely think about death riding us.

You need the operators that can calm the waters. He did that, and snuffed out any potential news story.

Thought Lamb was brilliant today. Answered everything superbly given the continued line of questioning. He didn't give them anything. Perfectly dealt with.

Agreed. Not sure what DS is smoking, but each to their own. Jagga for number pick 1 for me. Contest, speed, agility, good ball use. Gonna be a star IMHO.

What did he say? I presume the FD wants him, not necessarily the admin.

I support Goodwin...

Fair enough, I just think we also invested a first round pick in Jefferson. Derksen was a mid season draft pick. Anyway, onward.

Maybe Perty can approach some other clubs and see if anyone's willing for a Goody trade.

Jefferson wasn't anywhere near the required standard until about half way through this VFL season though. He started in the back pocket such were his struggles...

Maybe if you spoke to him, he'd fill you in. It's then up to your own judgement from there.

Well done for putting one good VFL season together, Matthew, you'll be in our plans next season if you continue to improve. Just look at the apprenticeship JVR had before coming in and getting games as well.

He banged on about the 23rd man all last year. He loves it.

So does anyone know if we've shown any interest in Parfitt?

I really like Jack Whitlock too.

He's not laughing, I can tell you that much.

Fancy getting Trac's name wrong. The quicker Green is out, the better. As for the BnF, I suppose Pert got up and spoke. What was the reception for him? Can't imagine it was warm...

It is true and it's bizarre decision making. Like dragging things through the Federal Court earlier this year, only to accept almost all of Peter Lawrence's recommendations anyway.

Yep, would be brilliant @dazzledavey36. 👏 Your main midfield is Viney, Oliver, Rivers, O'Sullivan/Langford/Lalor, with pinch hitting support from Kozzy, Trac, Hynes, maybe even McVee, and defensive role players like Sparrow. That's a powerful and dangerous midfield.

There's probably a few of us here. To be on Demonland as often as we are, it is a classic hyperfocus story. 🤣

That's definitely true. I think the idea that we shouldn't have put a huge contract to Clarry is hindsight 20-20 stuff, but that we didn't (seemingly) put in strong legal clauses in that contract is the blight.

I think too often we play the mental health card in society. It is obviously a factor, but it is also a crutch for unaccpetable behaviour. So yes, I'll continue the discussion. :P
