Spoke to a mate.

Apparently Andrew Walker had a massive argument with Mick Malthouse and wants out.

Roos rates him very highly.

Suggested trade is pick 2 for Walker + Pick 13

    I fear though Hogan may be another Scott Thompson ie will want to go home after 2 years. The dockers after all have an urgent need for a key forward post Pav. It might make some sense to use that to get the structure we need.

    As much as I would adore Hogan to be our Wayne Carey ( which I suspect he is well and truly capable of), we may not be seeing the longer term view here. The forward line is not our major problem, with the possible exception of a quick crumbling type ( a la Betts), but quality mids are.

    We need urgently to assess where hogan is at, and this is extremely difficult to do since he has not yet played a game and will be with us for at least the next two years. Over that time, I think we will get our act together re the mid field and we may find ourselves top 4 in two year's time ( yes you heard it here first folks). In those circumstances, hogan might develop a high incentive to stay, in which case our problem disappears.But if we don't, then it may make huge sense to trade him in the next 18 months.

    I'd be willing to bet we wont be top 4 within 2 years. It's very hard to make top 4 these days from outside the 8 the year previous and we aren't close to making the 8 next year.

    There's no need to panic about where Hogan is yet. At least wait until this time next year when he's got a year left on his deal but he also has played some AFL on the G under Paul Roos. At that time I think his manager and he will be much more willing to renegotiate a contract extension. They just don't have any negotiating power off VFL performances with 2 years remaining on the deal.

    The great hope for us is the Freo either win the flag next year or Pav breaks down and retires and they have to replace him next year whilst Hogan still has a year to run on his contract. West Coast are nicely set with Kennedy and Darling for at least the next few years.

    But the best bargaining tool we can get is winning and mate ship. We start winning and Hogan is still mates with Viney and Toumpas then he wont go anywhere.

    Andrew Walker has had a run in with Mick Malthouse and has already been in talks with Collingwood, Melbourne and Geelong. Pick 2 has been offered by Melbourne, Geelong has offered Travis VARCOE, Taylor Hunt and a second round pick, while Collingwood have offered Heath Shaw and a third round pick. You heard it here first guys

    Look - like he said - it's a rumour and that's what this is all about - if you're taking all that stuff too seriously you need to re-think..

    You posted "Savage chooses Carlton" yesterday and later confirmed you got it from Facebook - hypocrite - that's twice you've done that - called people "flogs" for posting Facebook rumours and done exactly the same yourself.

    You're vying with hogans_heroes and demoneyes for Most Annoying this trade period.

    Theres a big difference between rumours and absolute rubbish.

    This is absolute rubbish and you should know that as walker DOES NOT fit the caliber of a 8 year play for pick 2. Walker is not a midfielder. But you keep living on the fantasies 50 :cool:

    The facebook rumour was straight from the AFL website which reported it aswell.

    Funny how that Facebook page I put up inboxed me when I asked a trade question that he was a Melbourne supporter and posts on Demonland aswell.

    You do the maths.

    In your humble opinion.

    How did your "Savage chooses Carlton" pan out?

    I've done the maths and your self rating >>> than your actual rating.

    Lots of chatter about Andrew Walker leaving Carlton. Believe it started with Bigfooty and now this on AFL trade updates (it's source is twitter):

    Solid Mail Malthouse and Andrew Walker have fallen out and will be traded to Dees for pick 2 #TradeDebate @barrettdamian @TripleMRushHour

    Very much a grain of salt rumour at this stage.

    If they've fallen out can Walker head straight into the PSD or is he contracted?

    I like Walker and we need everyone ! but it is not specifically our greatest need...

    If it is true, then at least he accumilates the footy on the HBF!

    He's not a mid. He's 27. Joke of a rumour.

    Number two must first and foremost be for someone accomplished in the centre square - i think it is that simple.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
