spirit of norm smith

The 7 resigning should be under the Casey news imv. They represent emergency options albeit n fairness Turner D-Smith and Bedford are still under development.

JVR. Good call. It’s a Yes from me. Need to consider key position forwards. He looked like a talent in the WA-SA game. Definitely a good strategy to grab him if available and then be comfortable that he would have at least 2 years development. I would see him as a assume the Tmcd role in my view as an agile CHF for 2024. However I’m still prefer PICK 17 selection on a fast running mid as a need for our continued improvement like a Mitch Owens or Campbell Chesser. Though not disappointed if it’s used on JVR.

Received. Weg Poster Herald Sun poster I have ordered and yet to receive (some are on pre-order) Two premiership caps Seven Stubby holders New 2021 premiers jumper One premiership print $259 Four drink bottles Victory DVD PREMIERSHIP Two tshirts Teddy bear Football a dozen bottles of Bleasdale Demons premiership red wine Playing cards and still looking for more … including a new polo of course (I didn’t order any steak knives or [censored] cheese boards)

Just need to keep focussed. It’s all talk of “back to back”and we will setup a “dynasty” LETS JUST ENJOY THE PREMIERSHIP Remember it took a lot of hard work in so many areas to achieve it. The hard work will need to be replicated and improved. We are now the Hunted.

I think (only my view) we shafted his Dad twenty years ago due to $$$s. I’d like to see us rectify that and give Taj a spot on the list. He has the talent and it appears his year shows his dedication to do what’s required for AFL footy.

Taj comes from a very good footy factory. East Fremantle. The club that produced Luke Jackson and Trent Rivers.

Watched the last half again on TV late last night. It gets more enjoyable each time. Just that last minute of the third quarter. Wow. Bang bang bang. We will talk about that FOREVER. It’s Demon folklore!!!

Campbell Chesser - remember the name

List spots are actually now very tight given we have again contracted guys like Mitch Brown and Chandler who I thought might have finished up at the Dees (expected Brown to be delisted and Chandler to seek opportunities elsewhere). I think Dees should definitely declare him as a Father Son pick. He’s likely to only require a very late pick or a rookie.

Yes it’s a full house now, considering 3 draft picks to be added (17,37,49). It’s a cruel game. Hore and Declase are quality backup players but cannot afford to carry too many such players with tighter lists. Actually it’s happening more and more across the league. Blues just cut Gibbons who has shown he’s AFL quality across the past 3 years.

Yes agree they seem to have missed out. Declase looked a good prospect. Hore very very unlucky if he’s missed out. Excellent 2019 then two years of injuries. That would be cruel to delist him but AFL Footy is like that nowadays.

DD36. Who’s unsigned now? Hore? Declase??

Who remains unsigned?? Hore? Declase??

Dogs gifted two key position 10-year players that are probably best tall forwards in their draft years. That’s a bonus for a team already stocked with a good midfield. Probably youngsters will reach their peak by 2025.

Agree. Salary cap mismanagement and they offload their AFL concession “to make them stronger “. Wtf!!?!?

Dees might lose Mac Andrew and then come up to pick up Mitch Owens from under the nose of the Saints NGA.

“you can’t have enough tough inside mids in the your team “. Only sensible thing out of Rendell’s mouth in a week.

We are killing it

I agree but it’s a no from me as we are stacked right now for tall forwards. He’d also probably be reluctant given we have Jackson, Tmcd, BBBrown & then Weid already waiting in the mix. Probably if Tmcd was retiring then he’d would certainly been a strong option.

17, 37, 49

I think the sentiment all around is that he is a quality young bloke and had the potential to be a handy small forward. But with limited prior and future opportunities at the Dees, he is fine to be looking elsewhere. We wish him the best if he goes home to Adelaide.

Nailed it. We give up nil and he’s very good insurance. We need midfield to be fit and strong across another hopefully very long year. Our contested footy is the best in the league.

Dees could be looking at securing Mac Andrew with a first round pick themselves. It could be on a knife edge. I think it’s again a very smart move as there are a number of really quality players in the 10-20 range which the Dees might access if one slips down the order.

Yes I think he has shown some ability in limited games but ultimately behind a few players in Pickett and Spargo so difficult to see him getting in. Chandler is on the cusp and Crows might give him a good opportunity. We also have Bedford in line for a small forward role or even Laurie as a small creative forward. Wishing him the best if he moves on.
