That is inequitable.

And I doubt we'll burn Warnock just to get Hale, when he is worth so much more.

Much more likely is something like:

Freo - Mitch Clark

Carlton - Tarrant

Brisbane - Walker

or some variation of that.

Still probably won't happen.

Biased North supporters will be saying exactly the opposite.

Both players in an importannt role who are held out of the best 22 by better players - they have the same value.

But Warnock's worth as a KPD is at a premium, while Hale's another ruck, is not.

Trying to add a bit of humour to posts does not necessarily make a poster 'an idiot', appreciate TD's efforts, but personally I wouldn't care if Andrew Walker was traded to the Chicago Bears, I am only interested in the Melbourne trades and I was actually going to 'cut and paste' from the list

Da Bears going nicely enough without him!

Well, I had to wait for some time, but finally we have a winner...

Now that Mitch Clark is on the trade table, I am really keen to get him (though apparently he might only want to go home to Perth?). He is a great player, his 2nd half of 2009 was All Australian worthy, playing as a ruckman/forward. He is only 22, 200cm. Basically he is exactly what we need, providing a big target up forward and a 2nd ruckman.

And unlike David Hale he's actually a very good player. Adding a player like Clark would actually make us a better team.

I propose trading pick 12 and Warnock for him. Would that get him over the line.

i like the idea BUT....i could see us ending up paying to much for him..

we have jamar plus youth...and other teams like the hawks need a ruckman.

You seem unable to grasp that we want him as anchor forward who can relieve in the ruck, not as depth ruckman and therefore that's how he should be valued.

?

I'm not unable to grasp anything.

What designs we have on him are irrelevant when considering his market value.

And Warnock is worth a lot more to a lot more teams than Hale.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
