I know we are on track for a brilliant future, but we can get there very soon with an A grade power forward. How much are we prepared to pay to get Matthew Pavlich?

Let me start the bidding...

how about Warnock and Gysberts?

Any other suggestions?

pavlich is going to Collingwood.

I can tell you they would like to but dont have the freedom in the salary cap.

in typical magpie fashion, they want their cake and eat it too.

to get Pav they need to give up a key player, like cloke, jolley, etc. they wont do that.

they dont have anything like the flexibility of the mfc at the moment.

to get pav would seriously weaken their list

Pavlich In, Cloke Out... ;)

The salary cap is not an issue with the pies, there is always a way to fit players in.

Cloke is nowhere near comparable to Pav.

If you throw in

Thomas then yes maybe, but they wont do that

I suspect I'll be in a very small minority here but I don't think we should really chase Pavlich at all. If he was two or three years younger sure, but despite the fact he is an outright star, I don't think it's the right time to be chasing a player of his age. The precedents for trades involving players of that quality suggest you need to trade seriously high picks plus a good young player. I would rather see us keep all our young potential stars (like Gysberts mentioned above) and aim to have as many players peaking at once as possible. Pavlich will be past his best by the time we're challenging for a flag and the sight of Morton, Gysberts, Tapscott or whoever tearing it up at another club would break my heart.

Another couple of years sticking to the plan is important. Trading too early (for Judd) will come back to bite Carlton as they've already lost Kennedy and Judd's peaking now but they're still not serious contenders. Let's not trade for anyone that won't be at or near their peak when we're pushing for no. 13.

GYSBERTS - You have NO idea

This Kid will be ELITE.

PAV would be nice but I will give you 2 names that will be just as dominant over the next decade when he is long retired.

Yeah you watch, they'll try to trade Cloke & Medhurst & Davis back to them over there.

Why the hell would pavlich want to become a demon? Money? Gold coast would offer him more. Premierships? He is playing finals right now with the team he is with already.

Pavlich always waits until his season is over before signing a new contract. And he recently married a freo girl. He's not going anywhere.

You may very well not be in a minority. As great as Pav might be, he probably will come with the wrong price tag and at the wrong time for our club in view of his age. We do need a player of his sort but where is he going to be when we're ready to start peaking in 2 - 3 year's time?

Man if we could get Pav it would absolutely awesome. The guys in the peak of his career, has plenty of years left, is like a 5-time AA. He'd pretty much come in and become our best player. Plus he can play as a big bodied full forward and as a supreme clearence midfielder.

I understand the sentiment that we want to keep the group together, and getting Pav would cost heaps. That makes sense.

But disregarding what we would lose by getting him, wrt Pav as a player in general, he is a genuine star and if he said he wanted to come to the demons, i think that would be awesome.

Pavlich will either go to Gold Coast, IF they offer him a ridiculous contract (and that's a big IF), otherwise he will stay at Freo.

He would not be interested in a move to MFC and its pointless even pursuing him..

And why would you want to trade a kid in Gysberts who's a potentially elite AFL midfielder with 10-12 seasons in him???

Makes little sense..

Spot on and besides us, gold coast and the tigers, the other young lists like north and freo still have their superstars at the top end of their careers. This will be freo and north problem cause in two or three years when their young guns start to get to their peaks guys like sandilands, pav etc will be past their prime. I'd rather be in our shoes in that none of our guns (except green) are at the top end of their careers.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
