Dawes for Pick 18 and Simon Buckley on the move

[Tatu 416]

A poster on demonology said he heaqrd the following:

Jolly to Pies

rusling or Dawes to Demons

Pia & Brad to Swans?

Any thoughts on losing Brad or Pia?

Personally dont know much about Dawes, but Rusling was meant to be the great white hope for pies, but has been decimated by shoulder injuries........cant be worse than Miller though surely?

Brad seems like an impressive person and leader, but just doesnt dominate games.

Why would Collingwood or Sydney want to include MFC in this deal?

Miller vs Dawes or Rusling, Who would you take if you were the Swans?

Well another article mentioning Simon Buckley as a trade, will be interesting which clubs are interested and what they are prepared to offer.

Don't really see the point getting a 2nd or 3rd pick for a player in a weak draft for a young player who has some potential.

Wouldn't be upset if Carlton took Bell off our hands.

Miller to be offered a new deal though, looks like hes staying after all.

Not sure why we would want to get rid of Buckley..........before getting injured this year, he has shown plenty of promise!

McLean + Bell + Buckley to Carlton for pick 11 and Pratt's bank account.

:D

:D

What about Buckley, Bell and pick 50 to Carlscum for pick 27.

27 to Dogs for Everitt.

Picks 1,2,11 & 18 kept.

Oh, but I really wanted some new shoes....

That sounds like a fair deal, but I doubt they'll go for it.

If you believe the article posted above, we rate Buckley highly, so who knows (probably just Melbourne's PR team spinning [censored] to raise his price).

It would be ideal to keep our first four picks. It means we may not even have to bother drafting past 18, if we're looking to keep 1 PSD pick up our sleeve. This is especially true if we trade Bell, who is contracted, and free up some more space on the list.

I would imagine we will use 1, 2, 11, 18 & 34 as selections unless we trade 18 for someone like Everitt.

We have delisted 3 and traded Brock.

If the new Rookie rule allows us to keep Spencer for another year on the Rookie list that is like another pick.

If you add PSD pick 1 to 5 ND picks we need to get rid of 6 players.

Therefore we need to delist or trade 2 more players.

A trade of a couple of players like say Buckley and Bell, plus pick 34 for example, for an improved draft pick say in the low 20's, may be highly sought by some clubs.

Carlton will try and either work Buckley into the McLean deal or/ will trade for him seperatley.

Lock it in Eddie.

"Simon Buckley should not be up for trade, This kid has shown good signs, Give him an extended run without injury "

Couldn't agree more, Steamin'

[beelzebub 23,377]

working Buckley intoa adeal or trading separately is surely juggling come sematics ? Two teams...this for that..all the same in teh wash.

Buckley will struggle to break into our new ( bar raised ) midfield.. he could be used off of half back but there too he is johnny come lately.

Some aspects to like about him...not enough to miss him.. Trade him... do it !!

Would that be for 11 & 27 Dr? Will it also involve 34 or 50 the other way?

[DeeM 42]

i really like Buckley, if we trade him for anything over 30 its a joke. Even if we cant see him fitting into out line up, he has shown enough to keep with him or recive a good deal for him

Hey mate,

not sure at this stage - I imagine that they would be offering something late in the draft (ala Chris Johnson).

Speaking of which - I spoke to a pretty prominent Carlton Board member (Ari Sus) on the weekend who told me that the club (more so board) classify the Chris Johnson aquisition to be a calamity.

Good on them.

If only they'd given us something for him, instead of getting him for free.

There in may be the delay ... they are offering us something we cant or wont use.

So we have to decide if we want to give Buckley away for nothing or if that pick is on tradeable?

By the way they got Chris Johnson via the PSD last year ... we got nothing for him.

Ah, so they're offering us a game plan.

Cheers mate. lol re CJ.

Yeah, a calamity. Could lightning strike twice? re: Bell.

We got nothing for him except a spot on the list which we used in the PSD for LJ.

We win.

The only reason Carlton got him for nothing in the PSD is because Melbourne knocked back Carltons 6th round selection (approx Pick #90'ish), in the hope that he would re-sign.

[BLWNBA 1,007]

No, no and no! Pick 18 for Dawes is a joke

[felixdacat 459]

All I want to say is I hope we don't trade Buckley and I reckon we won't trade away pick 18.

Which was slightly more than he was worth.

That is more like it! I would probably persist with Newton for one more year. Offer them Miller.

I think we need to keep all of our picks. Only trade to improve them or remove list cloggers. I would only accept a player in trade for one of our list cloggers.

Whilst Miller has pretty much gone backwards the last few years, I would definitely keep him over Newton. An acceptable trade in my eyes for Newton would be a packet of TimTams and a box of Cheezels.
