Dogs are said to be looking to trade picks 5 and/or 6 to GWS to get access to the mini draft. Swans may be looking to trade for one of those - say pick 5. No idea what with (Jesse White + pick 22 + +?). At least it is in Sydney, and GWS look to be going somewhere.

Pick 5 might get the deal done.

You'd have thought the swans must have a pretty idea of how they will get the deal done before puting up the offer.

I wouldn't rule us out of Tippett yet

I don't want to waste too much time on this one, but I would be all over Hannebery like a fat kid on a cupcake if there were any chance of landing him.

The thought of having he and Viney leading our midfield for the next ten years...

Or a Phat Da on a $unday PhillyBurger.

:wacko:

Lions have gone public claiming that their 5 year offer to Tippett was more than generous but couldn't compete with Sydney's salary cap concessions. The irony is beautiful.

adelaide apparently willing to dump him into the draft if deal cant be done.

would we take him with 4? will gws take him first?

should we offer 20 instead of 20 for dawes?

is anybody listening to me?

Just a bit of pandering to try to get Sydney to sweeten their side of the deal. It will get done eventually.

Personally, I wouldn't take him at 4. Had my eyes set on a gun mid.

What If he prices himself out of it? GC cap would be full, GWS cap too, would we take him in the PSD? Dawes/Clark/tippet forward line (plenty of ruck swaps there) and if we get pederson, he becomes a full time backman!

Posted

GCS have stated that they are no longer interested in Tippett, so that would just leave GWS...and if they took him, then that is one more top draft pick that becomes an option for us...we can't lose whatever happens.

I think he'd go in the PSD rather than the ND, no?

In which case, if GWS can't afford him / don't wish to, and GCS have ruled themselves out, we would appear to be in the box seat...

Pull the reigns on the Dawes deal, quick!

I think they go to the ND, and if unpicked they go to the PSD.

Pretty sure GC would rule themselves back in if he went to the PSD, just quietly

I'd still go the three pronged Clark, Tippett, Dawes attack. That'd be amazing. Of course, presuming it was the ND our midfield wouldn't be as potentially bolstered, but that's something we have to weigh up. With Free Agency in now, we may just pick up a gun mid next year or the year after. If it's the PSD, we can't really loose can we? Hello, "war-chest".

I don't know what's funnier, people believing that Adelaide will let Tippett go for nothing, or that GWS and GC would pass him up!

And you're right, Jaded. He'd go to GC.

Well as unlikely as it is, it's entirely possible that Adelaide WOULD let him go for nothing. It has happened before.

And we don't know the salary cap situation of the clubs, although we can assume.

It's perfectly possible they could be in a position where they can only fit Tippett in as long as there is a trade for a similar amount of cap space going out.

But you keep laughing princess.

big problems with Kurt.. Adelaide and Sydney arent working.

if he goes for free.. what should we do to get him?

Posted

I am certain that if he did in fact enter the PSD there is absolutely no chance he would be available at our pick. GC may be saying they are not into him, but that is media fluff, they would be all over him in the PSD, and the same goes for GWS. He has a preference for QLD or NSW which makes them more attractive, and in terms of football we are not any more attractive than these 2 unfortunately.

But, a deal will 99% likely get done at some stage, and if it doesn't I would think he would try his hand in the ND in a Luke Ball-like attempt to get to his desired club.

Posted

GWS reportedly very interested, might trade pick 3 for him.

If this happens will the Crows take Toumpas the SA boy?

Interesting stuff.

I think he's always been their target, it's just about how they can get him.

If I was GWS I would do a 'Veale Deal' and give the Crows pick 3 for Petrenko or someone, on the proviso that the Crows let Tippett go into the draft/PSD.

Surprise surprise GWS are interested.

But you keep dreaming man!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
