Latest murmurings of a crazy time

Something doesn't seem right to me with this pick 13 business.

How sure are you that it is part of the Hogan trade? It doesn't make sense to me why GC pay less for MD1.

I'm getting a sick feeling that if pick 13 is gone, GC have it. And we have a player that doesn't want to be on our list.

Someone tell me it can't be possible.

And who is a FIGJAM.

Actually drafted by the one and only Barry P.

Spot of revisionism going on on the boards.

No, Neeld drove this one. BP may have been the recruiting boss at the time but it doesn't mean he was the decision maker.

Something must have changed for WCE to be interested in any member of the Morton family. Pretty sure the Morton family burnt that bridge to the ground.

Hope we keep Evans.

Maybe thats the Key Utah, the bridge is now the 'Gap'. As maybe, the gap to Sydney has shown.

Lift & Seperate, looks the goodes.

Heard this morning;

Adelaide - Pick 13

Sydney - tippett

Pies - Sam Reid

Demons - Dawes

Came through a friend who was talking to Sam Kekovich, according to him we are pushing extremely hard for Dawes

Pick 13 is apparently going to be used for about 4 different trades now according to the media...

A tad convoluted. We'd only need trade 13 for Dawes, everyone else can do what they like, doesn't directly affect us so why so involved.

Might be the eventual result,but not our requirement

Lets just trade 13 for Tippett or Reid...

Spot on why would we trade a top pick and get the worst deal?

I didnt get it either why do we need to help Adelaide and Sydney out to strength their lists when we could deal directly with Collingwood, The only thing I could think of his Collingwood didnt want pick 13 for Dawes, they would prefer a ready made replacement.

I am with you Born to Run, I didnt like it either when I heard it, I think 13 is paying well over for Dawes.

If the repeatedly reported trade of 3 & 13 for Hogan & 20 goes through, I'd say Dawes for 20 would be a comfortable result. Bear in mind we also have the Rivers compo pick which could be about late 20s.

Martin for Ray would be a loss for us IMO, would take a late-ish pick on top of it.

Kidding yourselves if anyone thinks a Rivers (alone) pick is a first rounder. Even with Beamer going our nett result is one (1) loss as we gained Byrnes.

I'd expect a mid to late 2nd rounder at Best.

If the 20 pick comes our way then the Pies might go for it. Their wallet's a bit light on trading picks, the poor dears ;)

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
