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.

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

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    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
