I think it's too early to discuss.

bundle davey, bate, dunn, newton together in a package deal for GWS for whatever we can get in return

This.

Win win for both clubs

Hardly. Clubs wont buy showbags of other clubs NQRs.

they could get the whole bunch for 1 top 20 pick I reckon. Win for us and they get some cheap list fillers to help them pay for a few marquee types. Like I said, win win

Posted this in another thread: Unless Davey shows something during the rest of the year I agree we should at least consider trading him. It could be a win-win situation if we can secure either a very high draft pick or a promising youngster from a club that is close to a premiership and has a stronger midfielder where Davey is not the first to be tagged. I would rather see a young guy get a chance after today's performance

Its just a win for us. They dont need stocking fillers for Xmas. Clubs arent that dumb.

Perhaps GWS would poach Davey off us?

Honestly, he's worth a hell of a lot to us and is just in some really poor form at the moment, but Nobody has enough credits in the bank to survive in the senior side after a game like that. Obviously we can't and won't trade him, but he has to be dropped.

Fire away....

Aweful post trade bait is an off season distraction. You don't know what injuries or game plans these players have to enjure.

Put them on the Table asap and frig the contracts. Possible destinations.

Newton - any VFL club other than Casey

Bate - could Carlton get fooled again?

Davey - GWS will need a mentor for any brothers on the list

Green - a year ahead of Robbo & JMc...retire gracefully...or Carlton...maybe they won't get fooled again

Morton - Shepparton United et al

Well they are playing out of Rooty Hill, not going so well for them so far ;) !!!

Probably wouldn't be any interest in any of these, but on the table:

- Bate

- Dunn

- MacDonald

- Newton

- Warnock

Happily delist any left over after trade week.

You'll be lucky to get pick 83 for those 5 combined.

Yeah, that was more like my "time-to-move-on" list.

Trade-wise, I think we'd need to consider offers for most players, but it would have to be a good deal.

Realistically, we'll need to trade a good player at some stage, to improve the list when we're in contention.

Much like Geelong sending us Moloney, to get Ottens.

Some are untouchables, but if I'm brutal about it, right now I'd consider trades for:

- Jetta

- Bennell

- Maric

- Rivers

- Moloney

- Fitzpatrick

- Morton (extremely hesitant)

Jetta, Bennell and Maric have no currency and are still in the infancy of their careers. They won't net you a good player, and the pick you'll get for them is unlikely to bring you a better player.

Rivers has a lot more value at Melbourne than externally. Won't go anywhere.

Moloney is just an idiotic suggestion. He is so important to our midfield, he is one of our only leaders and he will make the lives of Scully, Gysberts, McKenzie and Trengove much easier.

Fitzpatrick will get a lot of "who the hell is that" from opposition teams. Is currently worth less than Juice.

Morton is the only player on that list with real currency and who would net us a good return, but IMO won't get us anything near the value of his development potential. I'd be very very careful and wouldn't dream of trading him for anything less than a top 10 pick or a really good developing KPF.

I was being brutal.

I think you underestimate how other clubs would view our young players.

They also have recruiters that would have followed some of our kids & rated them highly, just like we did with Jack Redden even though we didnt get to pick him, as an example.

Moloney has serious value and I think we could afford to trade him.

It would hurt, but it's about the trade off of short term pain for long term gain.

Morton will be a seriously damaging player and I think we still wouldnt get enough for him now.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    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.
