I posted this elsewhere but will bring it into this proper thread. I'm proposing we trade Clark to freo. They need another big forward for a flag. In return could we entice a quality midfielder from them. Naturally I'd love fyfe hill or Mundy but would you settle on Barlow and their first round pick 17 or whatever it is. I think we will develop a great forward line even without Clark and he might not ever come up so well again. Surely roosy could pull off a good trade with his mate Lyon for the good of both teams. Be daring

That's not a bad suggestion HR. Won't be popular with many here. Perhaps a better a better option in 12 mths time because we'll get a good look at Hogan in the big time and also see if Clark can get on the ground consistently enough. Clark to Freo for Hill or Barlow and a swap of picks might work. Article in today's little paper Age talks about Freo's lack of attacking options:

Interestingly- Reasoning for Coll wanting pick 2 is GWS set to over look Tom Boyd as they all but have Franklin over the line.

Quote "News emerging overnight on the trade front via fox footy.

Collingwood are set to do one of two things;

Trade Heath Shaw to Melbourne, along with their first pick, No 10 to the Dees in return for Melbourne's pick 2 - which Collingwood would be very confident in attaining Tom Boyd at pick 2, with the Giants set to overlook the gun forward with Buddy all but in his way. "

If its true, youd think we could get a much better deal from a WB, ST K, Carlton etc.

the question is when did collingwood get pick 10 ?

Madness, I say. Boyd is worth far more than H Shaw and pick 10. And I would have thought that if GWS have Buddy, they could do a lot better by trading pick 1 to Coll (eg Swan), St K, WB or Carl rather than drafting a young kid.

You can tell the season is over when the "real" journalists to on holidays, and you have clowns like Jay Clark trying to convince us that the dees are offering pick 2 for Heath Shaw.

Sure thing Jay.

Is that after we secure Jake King with Nathan Jones?

Did you mention once that you went to school with Clark?

Seriously, anyone who thinks that we are about to trade pick 2 for a 28yo with issues with pick 10 thrown back is on drugs. Where is the benefit of that? Pick 2 is there for us to secure quality. Shaw being 28 with issues is worth a 3rd or 4th round pick, and if we trade for Shaw we will use an appropriate pick.

Interesting commentary about GWS. With Buddy, Boyd could well become pick 2. If this is the case we should take Boyd and trade Clark to Freo as previously suggested or keep Clark and trade Boyd to Freo. We should be able to get two A Grade Mids, one young, one old for Boyd.

Pity is, that trades occur before the draft, meaning there will be no way to assure that GWS will pass up Boyd. Considering how much more value he holds than the likes of Aish, I can't see clubs taking the risk.

Your timing is wrong - trading has finished before the draft. Conversely, Boyd is the hottest property in the draft - if what you suggested was possible you dont think that GWS would do exactly as you suggested ?

If we trade,pick 2 for Heath Shaw and pick 10 that's just about it for me. Having said that, not even we are that stupid.

Just wondering do AFL clubs meet today and discuss potential trades etc?

Unless it's changed it's all week, they were talking about shortening it to 3-4 days because clubs would be locked in a stalemate on a trade and sometimes a trade could be holding up other potential trades sometimes leaving players in limbo.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    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
