If we make a play for Setanta, all my faith in our list management department will be lost - he is an absolute hack who is made to look reasonable by the midfield that delivers the ball to him.

But I thought we needed a big-bodied forward presence.......

If it is someone of that standard, we'd be much better off using Martin or Gawn.

Controversial I know (and pie in the sky) but I'd throw both our compo picks plus Jamar for Pendlebury. We need a gun mid more than anything else and I think we have the ruck stocks to cover the Russian in two years time. Jolly is looking on his last legs at the Pies but having a gun ruck was a massive ingredient in their 2010 flag win.

I still think we'll be fine for tall forwards, just need to be patient.

It was more bagging the people who want to trade for Kosi. I think we've got enough forwards ATM. (But to be honest, I'd prefer the big Setant over Kosi anyway...)

Yeah, I would be all for trading for a quality player who can fill the role, but there aren't many available at the moment, and a midfielder should be number one priority anyway IMO. I


GWS have to trade the four 17 year olds though, don't they?

Yes they do.

I don't know who does the 'ordering' based on the accepted trades though. The AFL or GWS? Both? The comission?

If Meatloaf is the rock and roll equivalent of Sheedy I can only surmise that the Beiber equivalent would be Scully. Seeing as Bieber is a talentless haircut masquerading as a pop star, I feel its safe to conclude that Scully is equally devoid of talent and substance and is a draft pick masquerading as a footballer. Then again I could be wrong.

They have 2 years to do it over and they don't HAVE to, but they can and it's in their best interests to do so because they can't pick up those players.in that year.

 

I would like to see us trade for Jarred Waite.... He is rumoured to be having contract issues at Carlton and is an extremely talented forward with mongrel.

Bate and pick 53 to Adelaide for pick 52.

would rather pick 39 from the dogs for Bate and 54.

He'll be lucky to play 10 games for the rest of his career.

I love the big russian, BUT, for Pendlebury??? That may make me change my mind. I can't see the pies letting him go, but if the club reckon we can get him it could be worth taking a shot.

I seriously doubt the potential of that trade proposal.

Collingwood would want an ageing ruckman to extend their window?

Wouldn't trading their best young midfielder close that window on them?

Swan, Thomas and Ball are all great, but Pendlebury is clearly best of the lot in my eyes.

Never said it was likely - in fact I think I claimed the opposite! Still, I'd throw something at them that they at least wouldn't laugh at and I think that is the best we could do.

Pendlebury would be the dream and we know he rates Meeks highly, so maybe if he has a bad year with bucks he may come over.

If one is to dream it may as well be big!

Don't bother. I tried this last season, for Waite. No one wanted to know. He would have been perfect.

They really value him at the Blues and the price will be high ... in other words, over the odds.

Yeah, but probably they're Captain in Waiting. It would be nice, but.

How? PSD?

You really think he'd last til our pick?

Or have you misunderstood the free agency rules?

Injury riddled and white line fever that provides plenty of MRP holidays.

Great when up and firing and could be a gun player....but isn't. Caveat emptor.

Looking through the possible trade options in the age newspaper this morning i saw that they had Liam Anthony listed from North as possible trade bait. I think someone like that could fill a role in our midfield and i don't think he's been discussed on our board recently.

He could provide some strength around the stoppages and he knows how to rack them up.

Chris Knights from Adelaid is also another i'd be interested in. With David Misson on board i'd back us in to get recently injury prone players back on the park.

The way the rules on compo picks read, when one is traded, if it is not activated for that year, the team receiving it can choose to activate it for the upcoming draft, or keep it for later years.

That also indicates that a team receiving an activated pick can actuality de-activate it, saving it for later when it might be worth more.

Based on that, if we were to trade for Brisbane's pick 30, actually the end of 1st round compo pick for Harbrow that the Lions received in the Sherman trade, we could deactivate it and use it at pick 20 in 2013 or 2014.

Obviously the rules would need to be clarified with AFL house.

Maybe not worth it in the end, but an option worth considering if we are to trade with Brisbane at all.

I wouldn't mind Jack Redden.

From those lists, I think Nason from nthMond, Farren Ray, Kozi and Goddard from StK and Chris Dawes are all worth consideration - I used to think it might be worth pursuing Jesse White, but I'm not so sure about that anymore after some of his "passenger" like performances with the Swans this year.

On a slightly different tack, I see that Ling is likely to announce his retirement... is that code for "going to GWS"?

A year or 2 ago i was all for trading in Jesse White too....but the gut is a hack.

My brother is a Swans supporter and the support on the Swans forums isn't good....i also went to the Swans v Hawthorn prelim a couple of weeks ago and must say that the guy isn't a power forward at all. He just doesn't hit the packs/stands and watches the play. There was occasions when you could tell he was generally supprised to get the ball...then crap himself and rush a kick. He isn't the answer to our forward line.

I'd be looking at Lewis Johnston, Jordan Lisle & Callum Wilson before Jesse White.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
