Might have to and I wouldn't hesitate and then some. O'Meara for Scully - it's a no-brainer. Sure GWS get a great deal but let's worry about us, not them.

I'd take Jud and 2 Bartrams in our current position - we've got a number of very good players but we've always lacked stars. If O'Meara is rate equal with Judd I'd give what's necessary and if that's

ClarkyHeraldSun Dees could get Scully replament in 17 yo mini draft. Brad crouch is their man. Will cost one of two 1st rd compo picks. Dream result

According to the Age GWS actually wanted to get 2 U17 picks back with the promise that another pick taken would not be used on O'Meara. While it is clear that the AFL don't like the look of this it has left the door ajar. Unbelievable.

I agree Red. It just means that GWS need to work a bit harder at making their intentions a tiny bit less transparent. Truely unbelievable!

More oddness.

Adelaide List Manager David Noble on Gunston Trade "Overall result won't pan out until the end of the week".

Given no one has said how Adeliade have secured Pick 2/Crouch in MD methinks something dodgy is going on again and that if allowed to proceed by AFL MD1/O'Meara will be back to GWS.

Given this is a discreet trade between these clubs, not sure how GWS could come into it. I wonder if the comment by Noble is saying overall result is referring to all the trades they are trying to achieve this week.

I have a feeling they won't trade O'Meara and will look at getting him next year in 2012. Unless Gubby is creating a Picasso of sorts to establish a genuine on-trade.

Emma Quayle tweeting that GWS starting to talk to other teams again now, she reads it as perhaps they've given up their last ditch effort to secure Jaeger...

Still a day and 1/2 to go.

Does trade week not run until Monday this year?

I think the trading surrounding the 17yr mini draft picks has to be resolved by the end of Thursday. Trade week continues to Monday, and the mini draft is run on Monday as well.

GWS won't accept a bid for Pick 1 (claim that no offers acceptable)

GWS has done deal with Adel that they will take Crouch

GWS will not seek bids for pick 3 and 4

MD commences with one stakeholder

Pick 1 is "passed"

Pick 2 Adel takes Crouch

Pick 3 pass

Pick 4 Pass

GWS has 3 trades left for 2012 MD

Jaeger coes into 2012 normal draft (where GWS expect to get 1st pick)

How does pick 2 get traded (apparently to Adelaide) without Pick 1 being decided first?

If Adelaide gets pick 2, and no other picks are given out, thats the same as it being pick 1 is it? :wacko:

Had enough of compromised drafts, odd mini drafts and GWS trying to rort everything.... Bring on 2012 trade week, and Jack Viney!

.... oh and I guess the 2012 season as well!

If that happens.... I would love to see Adelaide screw GWS over and take O'Meara anyway...

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
