The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

[S.R.J 418]

Any chance the Demons will get involved today?

[dazzledavey36 54,213]

Anyone reckon we will do a quick sneaky trade today before time??

[CBDees 3,167]

Understand that - just seems crazy that GWS will have #29 and likley not use it.

Per Arrow's post - How good is Buntine? Former #5 pick. Will be third year next season. I dont know all that much about him.

Assuming #53 wouldnt get the deal done - cant imagine it would, would we entertain giving #9 to GWS for #14 plus #29 and Buntine?

GWS effectively give up Buntine and upgrade from #14 to #9 (if they are only using three selections this draft)

If GWS are not likely to use #29, why trade away or degrade our early picks merely to get a round two pick? Surely we can just give them Jamar for pick #29 as a Win-Win for everybody? Hopefully Zac Jones might still be there at round two.

Anything is possible. I cant see us instigating much but maybe someone might sweeten a pie by including us.

We need a few names off the list...thats about all that might drive it. imho

Are we a chance to pick up a collingwood player?

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

I reckon we are a big chance to pull something out of the bag on the final day, they've already shown they are not effing round this time

Is the TA mentioned above coming from GWS to us actually tony Armstrong from the swans?

Wasn't it AT, not TA?

[Young Dee 1,303]

Our time on trade radio people - get on there

[Machsy 2,858]

Looks as though GWS will only use 3 picks in the draft. Should we give them pick 9 for picks 14 and 29? Slip 5 places in first round but greatly improve on our other pick?

We're positioned right on the cusp of the top end depth.

We'd only be going 5 places back, but a considerable drop off in talent and/or speculative picks.

Just like we'd be silly to trade a gun player for 2 fringe dwellers, we'd be silly to trade those picks.

Yeah keep pick 9. plenty of good options in the top 10 to choose from. We have to go in thinking we can actually develop a gun midifelder despite it feeling like mission impossible at the Dees.

[beelzebub 23,313]

I cant see us doing much today. PSd may unveil a smokey

[dazzledavey36 54,213]

Yep i think we have put the cue in the rack.

What did they have to say Young Dee?

[george_on_the_outer 7,564]

I have no doubt we will keep pick 9 for a quality mid ( save for a ridiculous trade like Kennedy).

It completes the deck which we have accumulated in this trading period.

We have gone from having Viney, Toumpas at 18 to Jones X2 & Terlich, with a big age gap.

The holes have been filled in the middle and at the upper end from an age perspective, with Tyson and Cross. An 18 year old at pick 9, ensures we have a continuous age profile through that group of mids.

To me it shows that Roos is not just thinking about this year but next as well...and beyond.

If any more trades are to be done, we might throw away late picks to secure another body for the mid-field as a filler, but it becomes a dice throw. Would they be better than a kid at a pick in the 50's, 80's or even 90's.

I haven't read about any of them, I don't like communism, nor dictatorships.

I was talking about my experiences in Australia & with the changes within our Culture, since the advent of credit cards & easily available credit happened.

Homes have turned into investment commodities, & have gone up in price, in particular properties in big cities,, & country communities have had the lifeblood sucked from their lungs.

..... but the reversal has started around 1986, it hasn't hit just yet, but the writings are on the laneway walls.

the people are worse off, as all properties have gone up in cities roughly pro-rata, but are further from reach for first-time homebuyers who can't get that home. thus more division happens of communities.

the attitudes are following the US very rapidly down a dead end street. unemployment is growing throughout the West, whilst Asia grows. but when the West goes down, so will the whole monetary system. bringing Asia down to.

IMO this is when people will return to their roots, players likewise.

It is very confusing when you mix in a couple of 'captain obvious' statements with some really out-there vague claims. Not even sure what you mean by 'return to their roots'... I get the feeling like you think a global financial collapse will bring down the wicked apparatus that is funding the gays and femonazis, and hence precede a return to traditional values and curmudgeonly older men being at the pinnacle of social status?

Though I confess I am reading to type - that's the usual drift of this particular structure of ranting. Kind of the Australian version of Tea Party Monthly, or the 'I'm not racist but' quarterly.

[What 18,810]

package Dunn, Blease and Tapscott for the highest pick on offer

which will probably be around pick 97

Rather trade out Jamar [who we had had good service from]! The other three all owe us some decent footy that maybe Roos can successfully extract out of them.

The problem with Jamar is that he has basically no value. If a club wanted Jamar, they have a better, cheaper option out there in Jolly, who is no guarantee of getting a spot on a list next year.

I suspect that we might have questioned clubs about Jamar in hope (though knowing that he won't really garner any interest), seeing as we were/are looking at Jolly.
