Latest murmurings of a crazy time

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

This Nudge fella's threads are pure gold!

Hey Nudge where do you work? SEN or Sport News First?

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.

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.

We both know that he didnt get a games due to injury and fitness. Not ability...

For sale.

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

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.

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.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
