Hickey to Saints for 13 and an exchange of later picks.

Hickey for Goddard what a bitter pill to swallow

  • Quote

    Surely not...

    What has Hickey shown so far?

    For pick 13, I'd be wanting Zach Smith or Gorringe.

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere it could be hickey 26 and 46 for pick13 that sounds I little better for saints?

  • Quote

    Hickey has shown no more than Stef Martin. I hope any deal we do for him (if we let him go) should net us a good outcome. I'm not suggesting pick 13 but at least a reasonable second rounder.

    And, to think, some people thought pick 12 for Mitch Clark was 'overs'.

    Is that what we gave for him? I can't even remember. seems irrelevent now.

    You're spot on Ron.

    Pick 12 for Lucas Cook was Exhibit Overs.

    Martin to Brisbane for pick 33.

    Gysberts to Essendon for Brent Prismall and a fourth round pick.

    beat me to it TP, i wouldn't mind prismall but the fact is he has never played for then 15 games due to aalot of injuries. if he could become injury free he would be a bargain as he wins alot of the ball.

    Good lord really? Just have a sinking feeling with a Gys shooting off somewhere else. Will it bite in future, especially with a Prismall who struggles to get on park.

    Gysberts for Prismall? FMD

  • Quote

    Prismall would be a good get if he could play football.

  • Quote

    Also a possibility that Gys could go to Hawthorn for pick 28, though it sounds like the Hawks aren't super keen.

  • Quote

    way prefer Gys over Prismall. Prismall never met the hype over him when he crossed from Geelong. Really not keen.

    Prismall played a couple of good games for the cats (stats wise) and then went to the bommers and has done nothing!

    If this happens Gysberts may well become Jobe Watson #2 and we'll be cursing this trade for years and years to come.

  • Quote

    I admit I haven't seen much of Prismall but it seems like he had a pretty good year in 2010 although he only played 15 games. Averaged 22.3 disposals, 5.6 marks, and 5.1 tackles per game. However having never played more than 15 games in a year (none this year), it would just be stupid if this trade went down.

    I have faith in the FD but DemonWA is right. Gysberts for Prismall is just plain dumb.

    Lets hope it is just a rumour

    I don't know why people always worry about these player movements coming back to bite us. We will only get to play them a maximum of two games per season, and in most cases, the ex-Melbourne player is hardly likely to be the one that turns the game around (exceptions possibly being Farmer and Thompson). If he does better at another club, then good luck to him.

    I don't mind Prismall and if this means we also get Pedersen and Ray into the deal, then I'm all for it as that's a lot of experience coming on board, regardless of whether they are A grade, B grade or C grade players... they come from football departments that teach finals footy.

    Rodan and Prismall? I'd just about forget next year and watch Storm.

    Any deal with Essendon should be viewed with suspicion, they only let hacks go at top price and this fits that bill.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
