Buddy is on 2 strikes for drugs well it is rumored anyway, no thanks

i think ur the one that could be on the drugs after that. saying no to buddy for pick 2 is deluded. he will be one of the all-time greats of the game. 113 goals last season and is playing with an injury this season yet still doing okay.

Freak, it's simply not going to happen.

Better to wait until he hits his third strike, gets suspended for a year, delisted by Hawthorn, and we can collect him in the PSD. ;)

Yeah, tez. You just ruined are chances of finalising this hypothetical trade.

Don't be a fool.

Haawthorn is not going to go for that trade.

Some of you live in the land of make-believe, in a gumdrop house on Lollypop Lane...

I would take him quicker than you can say his name.

Do you like any players in the AFL at all? or do you just put a negative spin everything?

A rumour from some extremely reputable sources.

I wouldn't take the risk. 1 more chance? No thanks.

It looks like the regular losses are really starting to take a mental toll on some supporters.

Hang in there champ, things will turn around!

I have to say... If this was put on the table I would say yes.

Melbourne need a marketable player.

Melbourne need a strong marking forward.

No good though if he's gonna be a marketable player like Ben Cousins at WC

I can see it now... "E-mons"

I would be all for it, absolutely. We'd be crazy not to! If they agreed to a straight swap of pick 2 for him, why wouldn't we take it? Because of "rumoured drug issues"? Pfffft! They would be crazy to not expect more than just pick 2, as is suggested here, and we'd be crazy not to take that deal.

Buddy is an out-and-out gun, and despite his poor(er) form this year, has his best footy ahead of him. It's a scary thought really. A KPF who's guaranteed to kick 70+ goals in his "bad" years, who has already won a Coleman and kicked 100 in a season, is a premiership player, and is still only in his early 20's. He is EXACTLY what we need. And from a marketing perspective, Buddy is just about the most well recognised player in the league right now. Could potentialy add thousands of new young members.

There is absolutely no way they would consider trading him at all. But if, in this fantasy internet world of hypotheticals, they were willing to entertain a trade, it would have to be pick 2, plus a considerable sweetener of some sort.

The Hawks seem to have very little depth in their defensive key tall stocks, where as, believe it or not, we actually have a surplus in that department. You'd think Hawks would want at least pick 2 AND one of our young key backs, plus perhaps an upgrade of a later pick, for Buddy.

So for instance:

Pick 2 + young key defender + our 3rd round pick, for Buddy + their 3rd round pick

I would make the initial offer:

Jared Rivers + Pick 2 + Pick 33, for Lance Franklin + Pick 41 .

See if they have a nibble at that, and work from there.

Rivers works well in the trade because he is a proven player, still under 25, has won a Rising Star award, and despite being injury prone, is well respected in football and has a built a reputation as a courageous and talented defender. They know what they're getting with Rivers, who despite popular opinion on these boards, still has his best footy ahead of him.

More realistically, they would likely target Frawley, or even Garland (despite missing a whole year). Stefan Martin could be a smokey, because of his huge upside, but that's more wishful thinking on my behalf than anything. I'd be shattered if we ended up trading Garland or Frawley (as they have superstar written all over them), and very disappointed if it were Rivers or Martin. But if it meant getting a proven, marquee player in his early 20's, that fits our specific need for a key forward, i think i'd be able to cope.

Would you entertain such a trade??

You have to consider that Hawthorn would only look to trade him if either pick 2 was likely to get a player better than Buddy, or there was a likelihood that he would cease to be an effective player... for example, possibly being on the verge of getting a 3rd strike and looking like it would happen.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
