The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

He also said he wouldn't have taken the Tigers job if he knew their financial position. Yet after his contract finished they were in a worse place financially.

No doubt their recruiting was rubbish. They reportedly recruited Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls without seeing him play and took a long time to realise he was dyslexic. But there development was just as bad. All 5 they picked showed talent at one stage but never kicked on.

Well one did.

Delidio was their first pick, but the other 4 were fails

what did he say?

Can't give the full thing (as I was on hold on a phone call)

But he mentioned something about expecting the player that they would have chosen at 2, should still be there at pick 9. Which interested people... Means that the MFC have not had their eye on Kelly, Aish or Scharenberg, but the Freeman, Crouch type of players...

If they had got Deledio wrong then they truly would be the worst recruiting period in history. Now it's a toss up between us and them. Though I am now very comfortable with the people we have working for us at the minute.

Tambling, Meyer, Pattinson, Polo. First 2 ended up at Adelaide and Port. Tambling had something if brought along the right way, same with Meyer. Pattinson was big lumbering type who was a bust for sure. Polo had the talent to make it, starred on debut. Pretty ugly draft outside the top 5. If they got the Tambling (Franklin or Jordan Lewis) pick right no one would care about the other 3 mugs.

Wanted a young player with experience, midfielder and to get back into drafts top 10 and got that.

Have a few names on the list for pick 2 draft wise and expect 1 or 2 to be there at 9

Bernie Vince will be ours if the Sylvia compo pick can satisfy Adelaide (without explicitly saying that)

Thinks Dom Tyson is a good player and is tall (being a bit facetious but you get the point).

Mahoney on SEN.

  • First option find a midfielder and stay in the top 10.
  • Frustrating due to taking time with what deals will come forward.
  • Met with Tyson Wedsneday and put a forward to him on Thursday then decided to come today.
  • Highly rated tall midfielder, AFL career stop start due to injury, massive upside and a tall midfielder to compliment our small midfielders.
  • sees a 10 year midfielder in him.
  • could have a deal straight away once we find out with our compensation pick.
  • will get on the phone straight away to Adelaide was the compo pick comes out.
  • Vince will fill the void for Sylvia, big time player who fill a needs, Vince excited the club and we excited him.

Ox gave this a 7/10 in his rating for getting Tyson.

Luke Dunstan maybe?

Barrett now saying compensation picks could be as late as 6pm. A good old fashioned LOL at the AFL's professionalism.

What is that???

Seriously why would it need to be pushed back? The AFL have known for a long time who the FA are and the contract situations, no reason for it to be delayed. Poor form AFL.

So as I understand it the trade period has ended.

If so is there an overall summary anywhere? link?

I know Tyson is a good player, but what is it with us picking up guys who have missed, literally, whole seasons with injury?

Michie and Tyson sound great on paper, but won't be if they do a Dawes and play about 4 games each next year...

Just sayin.

Tyson did a PCL didn't he? Not really a long-term concern.

Thanks for sharing dazzle.

Not at all a long term concern, or a short one. He's fit and ready for preseason it seems. Due diligence will have been done on these guys, and they will both start with a clean slate injury wise. But, to state the obvious, anybody can get injured at any time, and I can just hear the demonland squeals next year if either goes down, albeit with unrelated injuries.

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89
