The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill


MadAsHell

Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.

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?

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!

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
