RUMOUR FILE

I'm trying to imagine Maric playing like Stokes or Christensen in the GF - and struggling.

IMO he's still a bit young in his mind.

The last Pre season was a good indicator of him starting to mature, but he still let things slip when it wasn't given to him on a platter.

He could continue to improve slowly or not, It's up to his inner Attitude.

I'm out of patience with these Non Physical type players. We have a budding list and I for one want to move on to fresh faces in the Small Forward/Mid, area.

According to the Hun, North have already interviewed Maric and given him a medical.

Fait accompli, it seems.

Not much of a loss really.

Especially if we land Lisle.

We must be certain of having room on our list though.

Maybe it's due to one of our players-to-be being ineligible for the 2012 season?

Warnock & Bate WILL find new homes.

It just depends on what we get in return.

Maybe it's also why Green has still not re-signed?

But I find it hard to believe his contract negotiations are being held off because we might not have room for him on the list.

[Tatu 416]

Maybe Green has intention of screwing the club, like Bruce did last year..

Was in Belgrave Safeway again last night, and overheard the same guy telling another checkout chick that the Dees are cert's to get both Goddard and Brad Crouch, in a complex deal involving 5 other clubs including the Bombers who trade Heppel to GWS then get him back again in an on-trade that includes a solid guarantee that Sheedy stays in Sydney.

Noticed he was stocking up on Oreos which are on special.

Belgrave has a Safeway?

I digress..lol

According to Twitter, we look to be getting North's second round pick for Maric.

Which is Pick 37

Mark LeCras, Todd Goldstein, Leigh Montagna all handy previous pick 37's....

In very DIFFERENT drafts !!

Given currently: Melbourne: 12, 36, 54, 72, 90 then 37 is a better prospect than those after, but i doubt of the calibre of those you mention.

I cant really see us picking up more than 4 in the draft and some may stay a little longer on our lists as a result.

Very good outcome for the Dees if this comes to fruition. I'd prefer to take a punt on a second rounder, than persist with Addam who's shown very little imo.

Yep. Especially if we have a special in out sites.

couldnt agree more.

Thats a good deal if true. Would not be suprised to hear a swap of picks involved.

[pantaloons 2,019]

Agreed. Surely if we're getting their second rounder it'd be something like Maric + 54 for 37.

Herd on SEN today that the Bulldogs put Cooney up for trade, apparently has really bad knee problems. Is he a risk worth taking? Maybe straight swap Bate for Cooney

[beelzebub 23,380]

we just lucked out getting rid of someone with dodgy knees !! B)

[Redleg 40,948]

Apparently a similar issue to Cooney.

[Bonkers 994]

Apparently a similar issue to Cooney.

Cooney has little to no cartilage left in his knee making it extremely painful to run, Scully has a previous patella injury which may cause him to struggle with large training loads (according to doc Larkin). Whilst they are both knee injuries they are quite different.

[Jordie_tackles 354]

supposedly both "degenerative" is the similarity

Bulldogs put out a statement denying the Cooney trade talk and that he would remain a Bulldog player.

From Trade Week Radio - Hutchy belives that Melbourne are in the hunt for Mitch Clark if the Freo deal falls.
