The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Featured Replies

A thought,

We have sounded out Adelaide re Vince and Lyons

Could it be a case of if Sylvia compo is 22 we get Vince, if it is 38 we get Lyons.

 

I don't see why GWS won't just give up pick 20 for Vince now if they are really keen on him. Unless we give up a player and pick 21/38 or whatever the compo will be, I doubt we are in the box seat

Excuse my french but fook me the MFC are trading incredibly well.

Michie for a fourth rounder and Tyson with pick 9 for essentially pick 2 and 20 (and the later pick trade).

I am astounded and am becoming overwhelmed with confidence in our newly structured club.

P.S Let's just hope Freeman slides to 9 and we can secure Vince the Sylvia componsation.

I don't think GWS are that interested in Vince right now to be honest and I think his preferred destination is MFC anyway?


We were rumoured somewhere to have offered Vince a three year deal so you'd think he'd be keen.

I really also rate Lyons so hoping he can be persuaded although I've read on here and heard on SEN that he isn't keen on leaving Adelaide.

How do we manouvre to pick up Zac Jones with our committment to Vince with the Compo pick? Surely our later pick #53 will be too late.

Who says we want him?

Trade blease Tapscott Dunn Jetta Strauss Nicholson for a pick in 20s to snare Jones.

Maybe add Magner to.


Anyone having troubles with trade radio?

yes it is not receiving!

Yeah it's in and out. Besides the usual problems that Barrett's head has reached massive proportions after North getting Dal Santo

The [censored] Barrett just said that he can't work out what MFC are doing with Pick 2 going to GWS for Tyson etc, and that Dom wasn't the type of player that we were trying to lure with pick 2.

Thinks it's a huge win for the GWS, but not so for us.

I think it's a win win.... Wallace (for what his opinion is worth) reckons that if Tyson was in this draft he would be right up the top again. So we have traded 2 for a player that would probably be worth the same in this draft (but with a couple of years worth of preseason) we upgraded 20 to 9, and the other upgrade for loose change.

How did we lose exactly? Both clubs would like this trade for different reasons!

He had to get one right!


Omg [censored] barratt reckons we could be repeating last years effort for getting Dom Tyson.. FMD.

Wallace reckons superstar O Rourke is ahead of Tyson in the midfield for GWS..

There's mutterings at hq about doing away with compo for teams that lose free agents.

I hate free agency.

I hate hq even more than you hate free agency

Is that the same Wallace who did so well with drafting and development at Ninthmond?

I just don't know why people care what Barrett says about our club.....The success or failure will be known in a few years.....The same as every trade or draft pick will be for all the clubs.....

I heard him the other day saying that when he was at Richmond, they had 5 picks in the top 20, and now there is only 1 of those there, but rather than him taking part of the blame, he kinda made the call that 'Your list management doesn't always get it right'

Wallace not only needs a throat transplant, he needs a brain implant!

I wish Wallace would input about what clubs WOULDN'T do in regards to drafting, not what they SHOULD do.

Terry Wallace "Im thinking club-A should trade X player to X club and pick up Y draft pick in return which I would pick on player Z in this year draft.. I would do this, therefore clubs should ASTRAY from doing this also"

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • 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.
