ruckmen available

just thinking

if port are into jamar, and we offer jamar and 18 for port's pick 8, then i reckon we'd need a ready made ruckman come the preseaon draft. It may only be for a couple of years untill we're able to develop another one. but i reckon our midfield should be able to expect at least a few taps to advantage a game.

so who would fit this bill and be available and that we can lure into the preseason draft?

Mark Blake.

Hey mate, do you see him going somewhere in particular?

He would probably be worth a late first round pick (given that he's a good ruckman - and their prices are over inflated), however Pick #11 is too much.

Roos has stated that pick 14 is not enough, considering he went to Sydney for pick 15 and has improved (I might have 14 and 15 around the wrong way...not sure)...seems no-one can be pleased. It's hard to find a happy medium. I'm sure it's all about perceived market values and one side trying to gain an advantage or at least be content.

Surely we would only entertain trading Jamar if we could pick up another ruckman? I wouldn't be opposed to trading Pick 50 for Mumford.

We could always trade jamar, and wipe the slate clean by drafting a ruckman in the top 20. It is not like we will be winning more than 8 games next season, so buying a winning ruckman VS drafting a talented ruckman will have little bearing on how many games we win next year. Much of a muchness really. Having the Kid has a greater upside, that said Mumford still is a Kid and has shown glipses of talent. For pick 50? In a heart beat!

Apparently Brisbane are interested in Mumford. I don't think Geelong will let him go for ~ pick 50!

Blake reportedly signed for 2 more years.

Swans reportedly offered him 900K over 3 years. I'll match that in PSD if i have to but 800K to stay in Vic is still a massive bump up.

If we trade Jamar we should pick someone up.

Trade Jamar + another player to Port for Pick 9.

Select Majak Daw with Pick 34.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

We can persist with Spencer, Meesen, Johnson and even Stef Martin until Daw comes on.

I don't think we'd trade Jamar. But if we do, surely we couldn't get pick 9, could we ?

If Jamar does go, perhaps pick 34 for Mumford. Geelong would let him go for that.

You're keen on Daw Dee tention.

    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
