Just to add. If Fremantle take Watts with Pick 1 which I think is unlikely. Melbourne take Vickery and Ziebell with Pick 3 and 6. If Watts is still avialable. We take Watts and Vickery.

Bell for Reilly (Crows) or Thomson (Power). Could be possible as I hear Crows and Power interested in Bell.

This scenario sounds really interesting, particularly if we traded Green or Bruce for a pick around 15 - 20 & what about Bell for around 27 - 33?

Not likely..

I like the sound of thomson or reilly, however i think Bell not quite enough, although all the mail is both are mildly interested!

Bell for pick for a seconfd rounder just wont happen IMO..

Yeah, I wonded that, but for his age & size/speed, I hoped that may help.

Bate will not be traded...why don't people understand..and rivers will also not be traded

Ryan O'Keefe mail, is about right. Not so sure about the other content.

Bate will not be traded...why don't people understand..and rivers will also not be traded

After a year like this season. Almost the entire list should be tradable! Why could'nt Bate be traded? Was dropped at the end of the year. Disappointing not to be able to make his mark in a deplorable Dee side. Especially of his size and ilk. May not be up with the mentallity of Bailey's game plan. Who does Bailey rate? We dont know.

Green has every right to feel aggreived. For years we've been handing out massive retirement packages to aging stars and the gravy train has stopped just before his turn. The club is doing the right thing, and if Brad does leave it will be whoever was responsible for Bruce's, Yze's, White's, Bizzel's etc final contract that is to blame. 28-29 year olds should get 2 years max, 30+, 1 year at a time

Totally agree, furious d.

But if Green can't agree to a contract he will need to go. I'm wondering who the mentors (read examples) will be from next year if he is traded though..

IMHO though, the baby D's will progress better if Green stays through 2009-10.

Green will go if Dee's dont offer 3 years. So he's gone! Will definitley get a 3 year deal elsewhere. Stephen Powell did. If he wants too stay a Dee. Take a leaf out of Robbo's book. He accepted 2 years after being offered 3 years from the Dog's. Robbo! Red & Blue through and through!

i'll be dissapointed if it is for 3 years, unless he has taken a massive pay cut.

yeah me too

and it would show that the club has no balls

Or there are clauses for the 3rd (& other) year.

Yeah, 2 years should have been enough. Don't think he needed to take a pay cut as I don't believe he was in the Yze, Bruce category anyway.

I think he should have been offered a carrot for taking 2 years only.

pay cut only if the 3rd year was offered, ie give him 3 years, first two at good money, 3rd year on half salary, UNLESS he meets certain requirements in the 2nd year of the contract. ie games played, best and fairest votes etc.

although, it could then be a very sensitive issue if he needs an extra game to get the big money and is dropped...im not sure i like performance based contracts for those reasons, it is completely out of the players control.

He has not signed..!!

Talks have re-opened though, 3rd year performance based on the cards..

Demons have held firm, apparently Green has lowered the total $$ value..

We'll soon see, not done yet though..

You can tell he sees the value in being a one-club player. But in one sense, I'd be more than happy for him to be traded to another Club whose Premiership window is nearer. Brad wins, the Club he goes to wins, and we have an opportunity to pick up yet another top class young-un.

Herald Sun today suggesting he will soon re-sign with the Dees and therefore remain a one club player.

Also suggested that Dees regard Moloney's signature as a must.

thankyou v much. baileys babies along with nudge as reliable whisperers

i posted a week ago that Green would be signing a 2 year contract with clauses for a 3rd.

hopefully he signs the 2. if the club offered him 3 it would be stupid.

hopefully they re-sign moloney as well.

Green's manager quoted as saying he has signed for 3 years and money was not the issue.

quoted? source? so he has officially signed??

disappointing that it's for 3 if thats the case

Interesting. What was the issue? performance based in the 3rd year of contract...?

Would guess it was that third year. We will never know the finer details.
