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.


what did he say?

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).

Edited by the master

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?

Mahoney said the clubs find out the compensation picks at 5pm


A few years in the system as well.

Now we just need to slip something in GWS's recruiter's drinks and then sell them the merits of a Dunn v Shiel straight swap...

you've got them licking their lips in unison, already. :P

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?

lol

another week to go

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.

Hahaha love it!!

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.

We got round 2 for col

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
