Only thing I have heard is we are interested but Mr Roos is casting the net far and wide so expect some surprises!

nice one Demoneyes. you seemed pretty spot on with Roos and not one to jsut bulltish for the sake of it. Appreciated by us other D'landers

Have heard a whisper that a 3 way deal between us, Tigers and GWS might be in the gun! GWS would get Martin but Richmond not happy with pick offered. We come in with Pick 2 and we get Taylor Adams and a lower pick. Other picks swapped between all parties! Hmmm....

What I dont get is why dont Richmond take TA and a lower pick for Dusty? Actually, while i think about it, why dont they just do Dusty and their 1st round pick for pick 1? Doing another team a favour doesnt make sense and if anything, makes me feel like we will be shafted in some horrible way... Guess i need more info on why this, while sounding exciting, is probable

I also forgot to thank Demoneyes for the info and appologise for an issue i see to essentially be maths based.... why make an equasion more dificult than you have to if it's already possible to balance both sides?

Just clarifying, so are you saying:

Dees - give up pick 2

Gws - give up pick 10 and Adams

Rich - give up Martin

Dees - get Adams and 10

Gws - get Martin

Rich - get pick 2

If so, this could be plausible and a win for all three clubs

I would have thought an easier option would be to cut us out - Rich trade Martin to GWS for Adams and pick 10.

Not a chance. Adams & Pick 10 massive overs for Martin.

Ok, then Adams for Martin or Adams and pick 18 (GWS 2nd rounder) for Martin. I honestly struggle to see why they need us involved in the deal. I mean, I'd like it, but it would only complicate the trade.

Ashley Smith of the WCE has been offered to Victorian clubs by his management. Home sick, has his girlfriend located in Melbourne and feels due a freshen up.

He is no better than what we already have, in fact I would say he is worse than most of our list. His superior fitness sees him get high possession counts when he plays for Perth(Demons) but he turns the ball over as he has terrible disposal and decision making is some of the worst I have seen.

Big no from me

In the 3 way deal GWS are still paying Adams and pick 10 for Martin

Nick lower, the type of mid we need. Tough inside grunt, with a mature body... Has also shown he can play as a tagger, a very good one at that. I would definitely throwing him a lifeline of it were me.

Really ? He's had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus. Would he be any better than Jordie Mac in that role ?

Given that Adams is leaving anyway, they get Martin for pick 10 effectively, which is a good get IF you feel you have the structures to manage him. We'd only get involved if Richmond were more interested in pick 2 than Adams(entirely possible). Adams & pick 10 would represent a net gain for us in my opinion. Its an interesting scenario.

On a separate note. What does anyone know of:

Horlin-Smith - I think he's contracted but would love him at the Dees

Schroder - Don't know anything about him other than winning the Liston

Murdoch - Reminds me a bit of Isaac Smith

Cowan - Injury and contract status?

Posted

During his speech at the MVP awards, Joel Selwood mentioned Horlin-Smith could one day make a very good Captain at the Cats.

With an endorsement like that, I would think he's locked away at the Cattery for some time yet.

Why wouldn't GWS just take Martin for nothing in the PSD. They don't have to trade for him.

Excuse me if i'm wrong, but i thought this was the 'trade/ draft rumour mill' board not the 'this is who i recon we should go for' board?
I come here to read peoples rumours (no matter how left field they are) that they have heard from some player's auntie's, grandma's dog's bullant he stepped on accidentally, not to read peoples claims of who we should go for.
Ultimately we have no power over who we should go for, so why make yourself miserable with prospects and disappointment?
Keep the rumours coming thick and fast as i love them, no matter how stupid they are, but for the wannabe talent scouts?
I couldn't give a fudge who you recon we should get. save it for another board. *

* i apologise in advance for my rant, school holidays tomorrow. I'll be much cheerier at 2.30pm tomorrow i promise.

I was a very big fan of Schroder in under 18s and has developed into a goalkicking mid.

The worst thing was him winning the Liston. The Cats will keep him.

Mumford was a required player at the Cats. Opportunity plus cash...

Pick 2 to Richmond in return for them giving up Dusty is WAYYY overs.

I've also heard George Burbury at the cats will probably be available.

Has talent.

Looks a bit of an in between'er. Not a tall, not a small, have really only seen his senior game or games and wasn't overly impressed but that is unfair on a kid in his first game or so.

Where would he fit?

Posted

Whilst we are on the trade/draft rumour mill, I understand that it has already started. The whispher that I heard last night is that Cross has already been signed up!

Posted

So our midfield looks like;

N.Jones

M.Jones

Z.Jones

Viney

Toumpas

Sylvia

Evans

Mckenzie

Tappscott

Howe

Cross

Magner

Trengove

Watts (goodes/Godard/Watson like)

Pick 2. -

Pick 20. -

Not bad

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
