Just wanted to bump this up the thread. Assuming we are still interested, he played well again yesterday on top of a really good season. He along with Lever are the two we are apparently into in the offseason. Jones can just be a handing over of a first round pick (depending on how high it is, we might get something back), Lever looks like he will cost a mint. Next year's first rounder and ??? If we can deliver both of these boys into our side next year it solves our outside run and key defender issues. 

Lish, do you have any intel or links on this? Just wondering where people are getting this info from (apart from us wishful thinkers).

@Moonshadow nothing personally since May at a demons lunch but McLure et al have had us linked all year along with Saints and Dons. I recon it is fair to say any out of contract player who has the ability to be an A grader we are interests in (like everyone else). I'm sure other clubs are waiting to see what happens with Salem.

OK cheers.

Personally, I'd be very pleased if we heard no whispers about potential trades until they are about to happen. Roos kept our cards close, I hope Goodwin can do the same. I reckon the players would like it that way. These clubs that are linked to all and sundry would be frustrating to supporters

Salem signed up a couple of weeks ago

As we become more and more 'relevant' we will get linked in the media to quality players that are OOC who might fill specific needs. Few cared about us during the Neeld years, now we are comptative on and off the field

[red and blue forever 780]

Just reported RUMOR on SEN linking Zak Jones to Melbourne in a convoluted deal involving dusty martin to the swans and I think they said tippet to the dogs and Zak Jones to Melbourne.

 

 

 

so the question is... Do we want him? does he fill a need.

 

it would be nice though to see him playing with his bro...

 

does anyone know if he has pace, as I am in the camp that believes we need a pacy outside mid as our main priority.

what is his disposal like?

 

 

 

 

 

[DemonLad5 1,637]

I've always been confident of us getting him. Swans cap situation means they won't be able to offer him as much as the vic clubs.

Kid can play. Tough as nails. Super quick. Powerful. Can play off half back and through the middle. Would be a great asset. Not to mention he's the brother of Chunk 

[CBDees 3,162]

Sounds like a good deal to me (as long as we don't sacfrice a good player instead of draft picks)! By all reports, he has the pace and the hardness that would augment our midfield plus he is the right age! 

[DemonLad5 1,637]

His disposal is at times fantastic and at times iffy. Think Jordan Lewis in that regard

But faster and younger!

[Wrecker45 3,378]

Saw him interviewed on one of the footy shows. They asked if he wanted to play with his brother. He doesn't have much of a poker face. I have no doubt he is coming.

Saw this too, it was on last Sunday Footy Show.

His reply was a dead giveaway he will likely be a Demon next season.

I just shrugged my shoulders as I am not sure how he fits in when we are loaded with half backs and not sure he can play in the midfield.  Though we may have plans to move Hunt to a wing.

Hopefully petrattack has a time and date stamp for you.

Interesting 3 way deal was mooted this morning. 

Dusty to Syd will have 9thmond needing to damage multiple Doulton's all at once!!

[deebug 1,754]

Hope it's true? love to little Jonsy at the club.

Wow. If Dusty leaves them for Sydney (or anyone else) the meltdown from Tiger supporters will trigger a magnitude 10 earthquake.

I think also as players are coming to the end of their playing days, we will need replacements.

thought I heard the third player was tippett to the dogs, (freeing up salary cap space for sydney)??
