ruckmen available

[hillie 41]

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?

I think it would take a bit more than JamJar and 18 to get a top 10 pick outta Port....

[Freak 100]

agreed. as if port would do that. they aren't stupid

[Dr Jekyl & Mr Hyde 0]

Mark Blake.

[mauriesy 6,931]

Mark Blake.

Would anyone here give 11 for Darren Jolly?

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.

Mark Blake.

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

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.

Not if I was representing Melbourne.

[WonnaJurah 5]

Mumford is out of contract at the Cats, more likely they will keep him and get rid of Blake

[Dr Jekyl & Mr Hyde 0]

Richmond have been into him over the past 4 months.

Yikes. there's more chance of mfc picking up fevola for pick 50 then mfc giving pick 11 for jolly.

[Adzman 2,088]

No on Jolly.

Maybe on Blake

Yes on Mumford if available for next to nothing.

[Binmans PA 26,833]

It seems very unlikely, but perhaps Darren Jolly will fall through to the PSD...Colligwood are the only bidders so farandthe Swans haven't accept it yet.

He's contracted.

Therefore, he can't go into the PSD.

[Dee tention 611]

David Hale?

[Binmans PA 26,833]

Good point. I was forgetting that he was contracted.

With Geelong having salary cap issue's, they might trade Mumford.

David Hale might cost to much, but it's worth asking how much?

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.

[Adzman 2,088]

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!

[Disco Demons 92]

hindsights a b!tch...but in hindsite if we had've lost that game against carlton in the final round we could have had naitanui

[Rogue 585]

If we trade Jamar we should pick someone up.

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

[Dee tention 611]

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.

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.

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.

Port get - Pick 9, Pick 11, Jamar

Hawks get - Burgoyne

Melbourne get - Pick 8, Thorp

bumps our pick 11 up to pick 8, enables us to get butcher, plus we gain another KPF chance

Also lets us concentrate the rest of the week on a ruckman trade/PSD chance
