Just a hypothetical after hearing Neelds comments this morning that we have enough kids, is Dom Tyson better than Wines/O'Rourke/Toumpas/Grundy.

Would the club trade Pick 4 for him?

Not something I am in favour of doing at all, but was just asked the question by someone at lunch when he mentioned Tyson wants to head back to Victoria

GWS would have picks 1,2,3,4.

I'm thinking pick 4 in this years draft will be a better player than Dom Tyson.

Tyson has strong ties with Richmond (I believe his old man is the head of the coterie group

I think if he comes back it will be to Richmond

On the hypothetical, I'd be more inclined to grab someone in the draft

It's not as though Tyson has had years of development pumped into him and ready to go, plus it'd take a while to get the GWS stench off him

Really hope we snag an experienced midfielder.

Clinton Young, Farren Ray or Greg Broughton will do.

GWS trying to (allegedly) trade picks now not collect them.

Yes, I saw something yesterday in the press that mentioned the Pies have stated that Young is no longer in their sights due to other dealings that have gone on. Will be interesting to see if we go after him; particularly if Ray decides to stay put at the Saints.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Walsh from the pies said that they were done for trades and will go into the draft with three 1st round picks (stupid really, as they would have been 2nd round picks 2-3 yrs ago). As Young is a FA they don't need to trade for him, they just need to get him to agree before the FA deadline.

My comments were based on the Hun article at:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/collingwood-to-turn-its-attention-to-the-afl-draft/story-fnbk754t-1226497596040

"COLLINGWOOD has all but ruled out luring Hawthorn running machine Clinton Young.

Young, 26, was linked with the Magpies as well as Brisbane and Port Adelaide.

But Magpies football director Geoff Walsh said the club would turn its attention to the AFL Draft after securing a third pick inside the top 20 last night."

The way I read the unrestricted free agent rules is that if they have not moved by 5PM tomorrow then they can only move via a trade.

If I am correct then Rivers, Dunn and Bate have 29.5 hours left to arrange a move.

If not they remain demons or get delisted.

Am I correct because if a club was interested they would take them by 5PM tomorrow for nothing.

After that they have to arrange a deal with the MFC.

Interesting 29.5 hours ahead.

It's almost like a Mexican stand-off... I imagine clubs are loathe to take on any FA's now as in some cases it may affect their compensation picks which they intend to use during the remainder of the trade period. You're right... it will definitely be and interesting 29.5 hours.

Interesting point OD...

I wonder whether there will be any UFA trades in the last week.

They simply could go into the draft but one does not simply get to their club of choice...

The only reason I could see a player going into the draft is if they were delisted.

Might happen to Bate but IMO neither Rivers or Dunn would be delisted by the MFC

No, Delisted FA starts on Nov 1.

The draft will have all the non-delisted OOC players. There will be a few I would imagine.

I believe Rivers has had a contract offer from us in front of him....He just has to decide whether to accept it or go to another club as a FA......I also believe that Dunn in in negotiations for a new contract with us......

So, I know the body's not cold yet, but does this mean Pedersen will now be coming via a compo pick?

MFC 2013 may as well be new club! No Green, Rivers, Moloney - talk about culture changer.

yep, means dunn is a monty to stay best 22 down back.

still reckon we're top-heavy for defenders - frawley, mcdonald, watts, dunn, garland are all very tall and will be caught out by smaller, nimbler forwards. i wonder if this move will mean garland gets thrown forward.

quite frankly, the writing was on the wall for riv given that he was thrown forward for the second half of 2012, and melbourne hardly has a history of treating their senior citizens with grace of late.

hopefully he has many sons and they're all guns.

Rivers played as the general of our back line for many years, similar to how Bizzell did. Was a good solid backman, who always took the saving grabs. Pity, but alas we move on.

One would think that Pederson will now make his way to the Dees, to play the role Riv did. If i was Garland, i'd be wanting to make sure i took over Rivers' position, or he could be finding himself in the 2's for a lot of next year, given the KPP depth we will now have.

Posted

oh, and good luck to him at the cattery.

really want to see riv playing finals footy. hopefully the dees will be there in 2013, but i think he'd be a certainty if fit to see september action with geelong in 2013.

Rivers will be a star at Geelong... of that I am certain.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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

BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
