A big article on the Hawks wanting to make a play for Sandilands...if it is a move designed to get a premiership in the next couple of years then maybe we arent the ideal option...however, we should have much better abiility to bargain with the dockers...pick 18 + a player? We should also easily accomodate a good salary offer.

Gun ruckman...anyone interested?

Too old.

By the time the rest of our list catches up you'll have a Peter Everitt at Sydney situation...

Definately, I imagine the player would have to be pretty decent for them to go for a pick 18 + player deal.

Freo would have their eye on our second pick if he was going to be traded, and rightly so. I would give away our pick 2 for their second pick (18) and Sandilands, but then I doubt they would go for that either.

I didn't realise he was that old. Bday: 6/12/1982.

So he turns 27 this year.

pick 18 would be appropriate.

No way. As has been said by the time we are ready to challenge for a flag he will be retiring. And besides how much influence does he really have on a game? I think his type are a dying breed. You need mobile, hard running, high jumping ruckman these days and he will struggle in the future. You can exploit his lack of mobility and speed by having his opponent sprint down deep into the forward line when there is a turnover in the back half.

Stef Martin is the future as he has all these attributes other than the hard running and after a few more pre-seasons this will come.

simple answer no. the new age ruckman is going to be a versaitle, mobile, hard running and athletic. Clark and Ryder are going to lead the way in this regard. Stef Martin with some time could become somone in this category.

Nope. Would only take him if he went through to the PSD. picks 1, 2 & 18 are untouchable for mine!

Well you've obviously got different priorites to me. There's no way known I would give up pick 18 for a 27 year old, despite his prowess. This is the last uncompromised draft for potentially 4 or 5 years. Unless a (much younger) absolute star comes onto the market (which won't happen), pick 18 goes nowhere.

Suprise Suprise ... have a look who Aaron Sandilands manager is .... Colin Young.

He has a habbit of trying to shop his players around to get better deals for them at their club.

See: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...07-2722,00.html

Correct on Colin Young. It's not Freo shopping Sandilands around, he is a required player. Young just wants a better contract for his client and more money for himself.

If it was Freo shopping around they would be eyeing our pick 2. And that will not happen.

Sandilands would go for much more than pick 18. Very effective player, and if our list was close to a premiership and we needed a quality ruckman, i'd jump at the chance.

But we're not, so moot point.

I don't think we are in a good enough position to be a player in trade week. We may be to trade a Miller, Rivers or Jones for a pick between 35 and 45 at best but that's about it. Our best chance of getting a reasonable AFL player is in the PSD.

I would be interested to know the contract status of these players who have had problems at some point this year. MORTON (RICH), MARIC (ADEL) and SALOPEK (PORT).

Agree on the Pre season Draft pick. That's our chance to get a reasonable AFL player for next to nicks. Hopefully whoever it is - is as good as Liam Jurrah. :rolleyes:

While you're looking at the status of those players, how about....Harbrow from Bulldogs. I think we might need a quick small defender in the side to replace Whelan. Not sure if Cheney is the man.

If Robbo wants to play on - which he stated he does - perhaps a trade?

Just like the trade people were calling for on Yze and White last year. :rolleyes:

Some poster take other Clubs for lemons sometimes.

Robbo is finished.

Heard the latest from Carltank supporters today. Deal is - Scully to Carltank, Fevola to Freo, Pavlich to Dees. My answer we are after long term greatness not short term fix its. I don't like all this talk from Carlton people about Scully.

You don't make sense. :wacko:

swapping harbrow for robbo doesnt make sense, robbos not up to vfl standard, if you think the dogs would do that deal your name should be simple simon.

And How do these evil carlton vultures plan to enforce this trade??

The AFL has moved on from paper bags of cash under the table.

Carlton should just shut it.

You goose. Robbo is back in this week. He has kicked over 420 goals and missed a pre season. He is more than capable than VFL standard, it is a suggested trade by me as these threads tend to do from time to time. The Dogs have enquired about him previously, they need options.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield.
