Finals Week 2
Just to clarify. I hate all the other clubs. But there are degrees of hate. I hate the Suns the least.

Finals Week 2
Cats in this form can beat anyone. But Pies are not even competitive to win the contested footy. Cats beating them at clearances 20-8.

Could be interested depending on his $$ asked for. Savage was ok v tigers and knows how to kick a goal. But we have a few of his type do not a priority!

Jack Watts Retires
Suns, Saints and Blues were into Watts through 2015 and Hawks in the 2016 post season. He stayed loyal. Says more than fuc@&&))ts like Scully who walked out as soon as he could.

Jack Watts Retires
Jack Watts - what a lad? Still a young bloke who enjoys life. He never had the steel to take his game to the top level. Always thought footy was secondary. Jack loves golf and hanging out with family and friends. And mostly his mates from school and footy. He was a good player. That’s not to be questioned. His goalkicking was elite. He had such talent. Perhaps unfulfilled certainly. He is welcome back at Demonville any day. Perhaps a future MC for club events.

Brad Green on Board?
Absolutely. Makes complete sense and helps consider oversight to Mahoney and Goodwin. Brad Green is a quality person and a good football man.

2020 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Ollie Lord trained with the Dees and from what I saw in 2-3 sessions, and the Futures game last year, he reminded me of a young Tom Hawkins. But I would have liked to see more games to see if he was able to “get the footy more”. Probably a good draft pick in 60s or a rookie. Wouldn’t be disappointed to see him on board the Demons train but like all key positions youngsters, we’d have to be patient with development.

Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
Phillips is gettable. Dream on if you think the Pies will trade Mihocek.
-
Isaac Smith
Recruiting Isaac Smith might be similar to Lewis, Hodge, Birchall type recruitment. Get him in on ability but he also brings knowledge on how to win and how to succeed. Should be an on field leader or at least a player that lifts others up.

Members Email from Gary Pert
It’s a corporate message. But it still was very worthwhile to communicate and shows the members that the club is doing something. Deep dive. Every club undertakes a post season post mortum. I agree that the coaching ranks should thin out as a result.

Trade Targets
MFC might put a phone call to the Cats next week to ask what Nakia Cockatoo might be worth. We might be a chance for him to get a change of scenery. Of course his manager will need to be involved and Burgo and our MFC doctor will have to check him out.

Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed
Clearly Phillips should be a real option. The Pies will get squeezed in their cap. They need to find $$$ to retain other players. Offer him a 3year deal and see if the manager bites.

TRADES, DELIST, PROMOTE
- Bombers Implode
- Post Season Trac
He’s an absolute champion. Get him a pen. Sign up until 2025 at least- TRADES, DELIST, PROMOTE
Mitch Hannan ? Did he resign or remains out of contract? He went backwards after an excellent 2018 like a few others. Seems to be inconsistent and wants to fly for marks against taller teammates and opponents rather than crumb the pack. He could be a very good half forward with skills and pace but seems let down by his footy IQ. I’d like to see him retained at least for another year but his 2020 form didn’t make his new contract a no-brainer.- The Kalani White Thread (F/S)
- Jared Polec
Interested? Yes. Yes. Yes. $600k a year salary ? No no no ... NO ! Kangas need to at least pay 1/3rd from their cap.- Farewell Braydon Preuss
