I'm very impressed how well the guys are playing this. I expect nothing more from PR and PJ. We are in expert hands for a change....

It's a nice feeling isn't it?

Still hard to believe though.

Wasn't there talk that Essendon players could break their contracts and walk as a free agent to their club of choice? If try why not offer Myers a good contract to leave and nominate us for free. Once the free agent window is closed so we get our compo. do Sylvia out. In Myers and Band 3 or 4 compo?

You are kidding...we have done sweet fa so far

By far the worst trade period in history.. Not for Melbourne but AFL in general.

What trade period?? Doesn't start to next week...

Dont actually agree. A littel long winded but its like a game of 3D chess played out as a 3 act play. A lot of things get lined up for that last week . Almost like the horses turning for the home straight in the cup, then its on for young and old...lol.

About to get interesting

Playing it safe my friend, clearly something is going to happen but it has been bloody quiet so far

We could get Myers on board but Essendon wont accept Pick 20 for him. I'm pretty convinced of that. If they wont take pick 22 for Crameri why would they give up a younger player who can be an important midfielder for them?

Why on Earth would they rate him better than pick 20? Consensus from most sources is that pick 22 for Crameri is about right. Myers shouldn't be worth more than him. Crameri was their leading goalkicker for this year while Myers struggles to get a start in their side.

Hasn't it been said before that nobody wants to get into trades with the Bombers? They seem to be constitutionally unable to grasp what is reasonable for their outgoing players. They are always massively unreasonable and have a history of putting a huge pricetag on their players and sticking to it in the face of all logic and failing to get the deal done. They basically waste everyone's time every year trying to get extra for their players and not getting anything in the end.

Adam White tweeting that offers starting to come in for pick 2, package deals coming in (not single player for pick) and that GWS are leading the race.

Who is Adam white

Excellent

Are GWS offering Dylan and Shiel ??

Are GWS offering Dylan and Shiel ??

now that's a positive attitude!

Part of GWS deal would def be pick 9

Dom Tyson and Pick 9 for Pick 2?

Not if they included Shiel. But could see them going pick 9 and Tom Bugg or Dom Tyson for pick 2. Get rid of a guy who wants to go home and let them get absolute class. They have the tall forwards but they don't have the midfield stars that GC have with O'Meara and Martin. They'd be keen for the absolute best midfielder

Dom Tyson and Pick 9 for Pick 2?

We think alike Wiseblood.

You are kidding...we have done sweet fa so far

I was more referring to they way the club is run Lord not specifically the trade period

I've come to be fond of the prospect of getting Kelly at pick 2, as I really rate this guy (I know others have concerns on his light frame - not me), but would still be happy to trade it for Shiel.

He's about the only deal that interests me, so "package deals" doesn't overly excite. Shiel is a must if it's GWS.

Right.

Just don't give up your day job ... please!

At least it's a contribution.

You should try it.

2. Package deals are being offered to Melbourne. Not one player for pick 2. The Giants look like they're leading the race at this stage.

With you on all counts. Kelly does have a frame that could fill out reasonably well. Yes, he's lightly framed, but I wouldn't put him in the Morton class.

I tend to agree, as I'm more concerned over Aish's light frame than Kelly's.

The only alternative would be the Dom Tyson & pick 9 for pick 2 trade proposal, but even that is a longshot.

I think it's a pretty even deal, even though Tyson was pick 3 in his draft.

And I've seen some reports convinced he is ensconced in Sydney.

Shiel would usually be considered purely fantasy, but I hold out hope he is bent on coming back to Melb for Choco's daughter...

Ahhhh young love!
