Can someone please tell me why everyone other than Neeld and his band of merry men can see value in Gysberts. Same goes for Martin.

If you think very carefully the answer is within the question, back to you .

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

Yeah for that i would want a whole lot of 3rd rounders or a pick around 20, otherwise we give up the goods, adelaide get an awesome forward, sydney get an awesome forward we get DAWES

Play nice, he doesn't have to post.

Think he dates a players sister or something along those lines, so he finds himself around the club rooms quite a bit and hears a few whispers.

There is no way that we are going to be doing 8 - 10 trades, regardless of which players we Demonlanders might love or hate. With Green, Moloney, Lawrence and Jurrah all gone our best trade bait are mid-to-low-range players (Martin, Morton, Bate, Petterd, Bennell etc... ). Rivers is probably the only top 5 player being considered. At this stage I do not believe the Sylvia rumours or the Jordie rumours. It seems too many on here are suggesting possible trades based solely on which players they most dislike.

Incoming:

Viney

Hogan (more than likely)

Dawes (more than likley) Pick 13 is way over price for him.

Pederson (likely)

Pick 3 has to be used on a midfielder with genuine class. I hope Toumpas gets through.

Probable trade outs

Rivers to Geelong

Bate to Bulldogs (although this has gone very quiet)

Possible trade outs:

Morton to WCE (although this sounds too far fetched for me)

Martin to ...?

Gysberts to...?

Petterd to...?

Bennell to...?

Although this trade week is turning out to be very different from past years, I cannot see all the 5 possible trades mentioned above actually happening. The draft is really strong and there are better players around for trade than those listed. I reckon some strong delisting is on the cards at the Dees following trade week.

I want us to start chasing currency with our reject players. ATM we are doing all the buying and not much selling by the sounds of it.

Hell no

His still worth a late first rounder

So Gysberts is worth around pick 20 when he couldn't get a game in the worst team in Victoria in his third year ?

Keep the laughs coming.

Jones, Viney and Wines. We are no longer a soft midfield.

No but we are a one dimensional midfield.

For sale.

Inside mids with no strength, outside mids with poor skills and skinny kpfs with no acceleration.

he is what he is, irrelevant of why. 2nd rounder and we say thankyou

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

Horrid. If Sam Reid can be levered out of the Swans (which I highly doubt) why wouldn't we shift our focus from Dawes to him and leave the Pies out ? Different type to Dawes but a better player.

Dawes is not worth a first round pick.

have we got any pace and spread? I know nothing of Wines.

The best mids get them in and out. Let's just get the hardest and best mids we can.

Yes, I know his issues, I know his ability, and I know his worth in the current market.

You don't.

Hannebery Bolton and Jack

Bartel selwood Chapman and Corey

Heard on the radio that Saints want to keep Ray, and Clinton Young is talking to the Pies

To quote Brian Taylor, "Boy Oh Boy" dandeeman, that's a negative spin at a time when things are at the worst looking refreshing. Do you need a hug?

An inside midfield of Jones, Magner, Viney, McKenzie, Gysberts attached to outside mids Sylvia, Blease, Bail, Grimes, Byrnes and Trengove all fit with a full preseason doens't sound too bad to me. Add into this Taggart and Tynan with one full season under thier belt, and then add a possible Toumpas / Wines or whoever and it could be OK.

You don't.

You take conversations about a football club and make them personal. Then in turn, attack people who interact with you. You make talking about football something miserable.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
