THE TRADING CHRONICLES 2009


Demonland

Recommended Posts

The Hawks must be offering up some players, as it stands now, assuming they use pick 9 to Port, there first pick in the national draft will be Pick 57, from memory each club must have a min of three picks in the national draft.

OK, I missed Demonland's post. Sorry guys. My initial intention was to make this for confirmed trades but I've been overruled by the boss!!

Post away.

thanks for your permission

Intersting that we havent heard confirmation of the Brock deal.. Must , to me , mean theres more associated with it now with interest in Buckley and Bell.

Really thought the McLean- pick 11 deal would have pre-empted teh Gibson announcement.

SYDNEY has confirmed the three-team deal, which sees them lose Amon Buchanan and get Eagles ruckman Mark Seaby. In the same deal, the Lions get Buchanan and Brent Staker and lose Bradd Dalziell to the Eagles.

Well I have to admit the Lions seem to be refashioning a side with some definite claims to next september action. They have been one of the surprises for me this year.

Sydney as always seem to be able to deny the bottom of the ladder their presence. Got to hand it to Roos.

Not sure where this will leave the eagles at the end of the week

First deal done Hawks land Gibson in trade week opener

Gibson and North's fifth-round selection (No.69 overall) head to the Hawks.

In return, the Roos gain Hawthorn's second and third

were off and running now..:D

IMHO I think Hawks are the winners ... look around pre-trade to what 90% of all North fans where saying ... Pick 9 or PSD ... neither eventuated

Hawks got their man for a 2nd round pick (average pick in 2009) & 3rd round pick (very speculative pick)

Hawks (Pelchen) are very smart and seem to find the Roos easy prey every time.

IMHO its a classic example of the strong dominating the weak and something we must be fearful of as our list improves.

The hawks are really rolling the dice this year. If they forfeit pick 9 to get Burgoyne then they will really be scraping the barrel come their turn (currently 57 and 73) + 69 now and in course be relying totally on really what they have on hand. Big call !!

No, Hawks just prefer to trade for what they need, they don't seem to like their chances of getting anything they need out of the draft. If they do the Burgoyne deal, their first draft pick will be fourth round, unless they're prepared to trade some tempting players. North knew they'd lost Gibson anyway and prefer to draft for what they need. It's a classic win-win because both have different preferences, unless you think that Gibson's a gun player who's worth a first round pick.

Given the position their list is in and the quality of the list, giving up pick 9 for Burgoyne is understandable. Their window is open.

Let's be honest though, their list as is is very strong, they should be pushing top 4 next year despite this year's failure. They also have a few good young players (Schoenmakers, Moss, Shiels) and their list was the youngest this year. It might bite them in the bum in 4 or 5 years time, but I think they're doing the right thing in terms of seeking a second premiership.

The rules were changed this year. Rookie upgrades now count as part of the mandatory three additions. I'm not sure there's a minimum number you have to draft anymore.

No its the North people that thought Gibson was worth a 1st rounder & they didn't get it.

Essentially Hawks have picked him up for 2nd rounder ... good deal for them thats a good price in this draft.

IMHO Hawks 3rd round pick ... I would question whether even we would use it in this draft .

I agree - good draft picks are a means to an end, not the end themselves.

The 'end' is winning a flag and established players are more likely to to help the Hawks win their next flag sooner than draftees.

We're in the opposite situation.

I bumped into a few Demonlanders at the tavern and, as the game dragged on to its inevitable outcome, the talk moved to the trade week and the November draft. Someone had a copy of that morning's Sunday Herald Sun with an article that listed 10 likely selections in this order:-

1. Tom Scully (Dandenong, onballer) Melbourne

2. Jack Trengove (Sturt, mid/forward) Melbourne

3. Dustin Martin (Bendigo, onballer) Richmond

4. Anthony Morabito (Peel, wing/forward) Fremantle

5. Ben Cunnington (Geelong, onballer) North Melbourne

6. Gary Rohan (Geelong, utility) Sydney

7. Lewis Jetta (Swan Districts, small forward) West Coast

8. Luke Tapscott (North Adelaide, mid/forward) Port Adelaide)

9. Jake Melksham (Calder, mid/forward) Hawthorn/trade

10. Kane Lucas (East Fremantle, wing/forward) Essendon

going by that does that mean we can get Butcher at 11?

100% agree, though the Hawks are pushing this strategy to its absolute limit.

2.35pm: LIONS coach Michael Voss has said Tigers defender Andrew Raines will move to Brisbane. Richmond gets the Lions' third-round pick.

It would mean that we get our pick of all the talls at 11. Seems to be becoming more and more a midfield draft, which is why clubs with an open "window" and an OK midfield are happily trading away their draft picks.

LMAO .... Jade Rawlings and I quote ... "Andrew Raines would have to be one of the most un-coachable players I've ever met!"

Suppose if you pay next to nothing you can lose next to nothing. ;)

J Rowling can say what she likes about Raines.

She's an effing millionaire...

BTW, if he said that and he meant that the way it sounds, he is still going to coach him - Rawlings is an assistant at BL next year.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
