Tolstoys Nudge

Both would be cheap as chips. Cox the fwd/ruc option & pies likely would pay 25% Varys OOC & would be dirt cheap ala Phillips

You’re 100% wrong

No fantasy — he has a say & media pushing dogs line at this stage cus it seems logical that’s the only link. May go there if they lose Dunkley but FAR from anything more than a 1/3 chance bud

Pies won’t have a say once he picks a club, they’d have to accept a package given what’s gone on. They HAVE to trade him, simple!

Part of the “several” I mentioned

Do NOT sleep on Treloar, as I thought when JM spoke to traderadio —We are 100% in this but it’ll ALL depend on TMAC. if we somehow find a suitor by Weds COB, Treloar WILL be a demon. We are his preference which has altered things but unfortunately we’re about $425k short this McDonald must find a home (word is we are even offering to pay a record % of salary) but until Cameron and Saad get done it’ll stay stagnant. Fingers crossed, cus he’s be the ideal wingman and my info is that he’s happy to play that role which again has altered thinking. However it is still unlikely unless TMac finds a home. This is also why BB deal isn’t done, for we’d need pk26 for any trade w/pies. Remains prob 15% chance but absolutely we ARE in it. Couple of nibbles for other players that free some extra space but again we won’t move in those if TMAC doesn’t happen. Others: mild interest in Vardy, A.Phillips, Xerri & Cox (only if we miss Treloar) & Witherden said no thanks to Vic as a whole. ?

Are you actually saying Oscar is a better player than Weid? Wow...

Lever/May champ

Can’t mark contested? Doesn’t pressure? I think you’ll find these video rewarding fellow demonlanders (especially throwing Oscar around in 2018 ?)

Well they’re dreaming. Future 2nd most likely unless we get a 25-30 pick for Pruess or Hannan deals

On the topic, Brown will announce his choice to join The Demons sometime in next 24hrs. A massive win for the club and the third main target landed in 3 years. This is significant and most have no idea just how much this helps drive the new game plan Cannot wait to see big #50 leading hard in 2021!!!

It's done. Dee's just working out how to structure salary which will depend on Tmac and other ins/outs

Exactly right - so many uneducated opinions here, Thomas is EXACTLY what we need!!! Especially with Brown coming in. Solid finisher, averagesan effective i50 tackle a game, good efficiency, smart & was still didn't picked player in a stacked smalls group at pies. Role changed this year, was played more as a def fwd hence goals tally being lower but still picked every wk when fit in a strong side. He and Phillips would be good gets, assuming my dream of Treloar or Menegola for the wing remains just that. Thomas immediately makes us better and would be in at R1. Could easily kick 30+ goals in a team that has Weid/Brown combo

Exactly

I’m glad they were flat.. far too jovial last year and they were really of belied they could do damage in sept, to me it shows they are maturing

how do I know? ASK THEM!!! Coaching change this late will cause EXACT uncertainty players fear, but next year if the call is warranted and club makes it early it’ll be what it is, needed. But he’s not done for just yet as I envisage as players do another Burgo PS & 2-3 needs players coming in will have them purring early 2021 We have VINEY alone linked but only cus he’s out of contract and ALL players in that pos would do same Ayer what he’s been through but he will re sign assuming club wants him too which they do and we ALL know why, but his b&f finish alone will reaffirm to him his value. The fact you can say PETRACCA let alone Clarrie is linked to trade rumours after what’s “linked” them is absolutely the most overblown zephyr of a call I’ve seen in a while. Petracca rumour oh my lord give me strength!!! Clarrie said last week to 2 coterie members he can’t WAIT to see what the off season brings and that he & others think a Burgess pre season (para phrasing obv) #2 that actually Elsa into the season without 9 wk interruption and 20 min Q’s might alone be the catalyst we need to break into top 4. Some words re hoping we land a fwd but that Jackson & Weid will be a great pairing as they were b4 Jacko’s injury. So settle on the OMG ALL 3 want out hysteria and total crap... cus it’s just that, crap!

Cus there is none!!! He does things like this ALL the time in hopes of starting a fire — loves his Blues and is always trying cheekily to get ball rolling on things in hopes one day he can get a player to like the sound of it. It’s been totally 100% RUBBISHED today by several coterie insiders, Clarrie is going nowhere and doesn’t wanna go anywhere. As for Petracca calling his manager wanting out... oh PLEASE gimme a spell what a hunk-of-tripe!!! Impeccable source or not it’s just so far off the mark it’s not funny

I’m anti-Goodwin - but the PLAYERS are PRO Goodwin so anyone suggesting tossing Goody is misguided if they expect a player group to be excited about it!!! My view is, instead of seeing themselves as part of the problem like they should, and look to do whatever they can to Improve - whining and sooking by leaking this type of tripe to media is just weak minded BS that epitomises WHY we missed finals. we need a fwd, outside 2way run and polish, get that and get players who are committed and enjoy another Burgess pre season and we should be fine. But yes, Goodwin is rightly under pressure and would be gone if out of contract but that doesn’t mean he can’t recover.

Yeah, they stuffed their shot at finals

Few insiders blv dees not pursuing Williams leads them to blv Saad is a lock... Either way, Dees need to prioritise a fwd & if Tom McDonald is being pursued by Roos then Brown surely seems logical, however for whatever reason this seems unlikely despite it marching up on first look. Could this be related to chasing another big fwd? I think so but it’s a view not something I’ve got any word on. But I think we’ve been far “too quiet” which makes me think either Cameron or Gunston are heavily on the radar, Hooker maybe even as a plan C. I predict: Saad, I Smith, Cameron & Atkins are our likely ins. 3/4 with Cameron the Outsider & one of Brown, Hooker, Gunston, Wright or Curnow to replace him should it be a pipe dream.

??? Get pumped? Oh boy love the optimism!!! changes are clear - we’ve gone for players who can support the recent change in strategy that until LW looked great.. so players whom CAN hit a target and have the skills to help slow tempo and keep the footy ala vs Pies but with more pressure being applied.. it’s no secret just look at the ins!!! not to mention Max being back I think it’s intriguing INS and if it works it could be landmark moment for our mix.. Brown deserves his shot, and finishes well but fwd pressure game MUST be better, that’s the key for us.

If you can’t understand why you shouldn’t or why your comment is utterly ridiculous then your so far from being able to comment any the complexities of recruitment, that you shouldn’t even comment on the disparity between Watts and Natianui, let alone Dunkley to a near 29yr old Pickett who’s at best plodding along this year, and wouldn’t of seen a game past the resuming if tigers hadn’t of been so decimated! But it’s such a low end, needs based draft it’s like commenting on picks 80-88 in national draft - it’s all done on needs and spec! So please, leave it to JT mate, stick to saying things like “kick the bloody thing” or “go long to the goal square” - Questioning a man as experienced and highly regarded as Jason Taylor, when discussing the lowest priority, least researched pick he’s ever made (which was more a coaching pick than recruitment pick anyway) is an absolute abomination of absurdity.

Getting a game cus of what we saw 2nd half last night - he’s a gun kick and decision makers who’s playing out of position but that when gets it, can slice through an opposition a commodity we have in very slight stock.. we will get balance right eventually and he will find his way just like Clayton will last night another shining example of how coaching and making adjustments can make world of difference to a player!

Tearring it up? We’re now assessing a mid season draft? On a bloke overlooked by 16 clubs 6-7 times each? Seriously some of you ppl make it REALLY hard to even peruse these posts.. holy heck what a spud comment

Bahahaha ??? Do us all a favour, and stop it.
