    He's 28 and had an 'inconsistent' year with Adelaide.

    What is it about him that appeals to us as a future player?

    He's mature and he's cheap..?

    He is better than the older midfielders we have which is none.

    Agree with this. I think there are a few more dominoes to fall in terms of picks and players before we go for Vince. At 28 he isn't worth the second pick in the draft. Mahoney mentioned we might be getting players and picks so it may be Vince, another player a second round pick (or something like that) for pick 2.

    Whay does it have to involve pick 2. We'll have pick ~21 and 22. That's more on the mark for a 28 year old.

    Would hope it would be more than Vince for our second rounder, would view this as an overall loss.

    If linked with Lyons as well would certainly look at this as being win win.,

    They need that pick more than we need a 28 year old overrated B grader so would need a sweetener ( Lyons ).

  • Quote

    Purely speculative....

    How about the Sylvia compo pick (maybe 22) & Jamar

    For Bernie Vince & Jarryd Lyons

    - Instant midfield solution if the Dees rate Lyons - there has been a rumour linking him to MFC

    - Jamar gets to go back to Adelaide - and they might be trading out McKernan

    - A virtual swap of Sylvia for Vince - roughly equal value and same age

    - Get to keep all of our original high picks unless we trade pick 2 out

    Given we have ONE midfielder who could even be discussed as better than B-grade, and a bunch of C, D and E graders running around, I wouldn't be so sure.

    28 is not old either.

    Did anyone else hear on KB show(SEN) that Balme heard that Pendlebury was up for trade? Pretty sure thats what I heard him say... He could have just been being cheeky...

  • Quote

    The Ox on SEN mentioned something about this guy coming to us.

    Heard it. He was definitely taking the p155.

    i didn't know Elliot was a midfielder.

    Elliot is a gun, he'd be a great target for not only MFC, but any side in the comp.

    I'd rather Elliot higher than Adams and by a fair space.

  • Quote

    Elliot isn't a midfielder but he'll be the best small forward in the comp in a couple of years. We need a small forward too.

    It would be nice to complete one trade to keep the panicky woe is us dudes quiet for a moment.

    Perhaps pick 121 for 120, just something... please.

    Yep it seems Melbourne and other fans go into a fit if their teams aren't heavily involved in the trade period every day. How many cam Pederson's do we want? No news is good news for me at the moment.

    I think we are saving pick 121 to find a replacement for Pederson

    A direct swap for me would improve the list.

  • Quote

    Right, someone needs to get a hold of Josh Mahoney and tell him to get the following done, ASAP:

    Dom Tyson and pick 9 for Sam Blease and pick 2
    Bernie Vince and and Lyons for 2nd rounder (Sylvia compo pick)
    Viv Michie for 3rd Rounder
    Daniel Cross as delisted FA.
    Draft Matt Crouch or Luke Dunstan with pick 9

    If this all came to fruition we'd have a midfield consisting of N. Jones, Vince, Cross, Trengove, Viney, Tyson, Crouch/Dunstan, Toumpas, Michie in 2014.

    Add in a fit Clark and Hogan to the forward 50 and it's virtually Premiership time.

    Seriously though I'm not sure the Giants would go Tyson and 9 for Blease and 2 but the rest looks feasible, right?

    We will be trading pick 2 and Mark Jamar to Adelaide for Brad Crouch and Bernie Vince.

    That is the third statement of 'fact' from you about a trade involving Pick 2.

    Stop posting for a while.

    But they're getting better. If they were getting worse I'd recommend a rest. Just imagine what we'll be getting by the end of the trade period.

    In my dreams we will be trading pick 2 and Mark Jamar to Adelaide for Brad Crouch and Bernie Vince

    Fixed!

    • 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.
