some nice players should be squeezed out of Sydney now

Luke Parker anyone?

How about Mitch Morton, a retired Jude Bolton with no desire to coach, and a crippled Marty Mattner?

That, coupled with the departures of Mumford and White will ensure the Swans have plenty of cap space without squeezing required players.

    Wow

    That truly is impressive by the Swans if that happens......

    Yeah, but it's a hell of a lot easier when you have close to an extra $ million in your salary cap.

    GWS is going to be the AFL's biggest basket case, players don't wont to go there and players want to leave. The Gold Coast at least can sell G Ablett aand the lifestyle.

    Remind me again of all of their gun players who are returning to Vic after having just finished their first contracts?

    Rumours are one thing... riding on the back of others' rumours and claiming credit is another.

    you got it in one, I can't believe others don't see through it. It's like reading the front page of the Beano!

    Tell me who are their gun players, J cameron, is one and the others are potential that will be picked off as they develop

    Was really hoping we would chase Dylan Shiel, but he,like most of his contemporaries has signed a new contract through the year. He'll, even Adams may stay now Buddy isn't going. I've been amazed at their ability to hang on to so many kids who are so obviously talented.

    By not getting burdened with a massive contract for Buddy does them a favour IMO, they will have Patten, Boyd and Cameron being fed by fantastic mids (who wouldn't take Toby Green). They will have the ability to contract who they want, front loading many.

    Everyone said clubs would raid GWS after two years. How's that been going?

    So you think they will definitely take Boyd? If so our number 2 becomes gold to other clubs

    What? Surely you mean that the other way around right?! If Boyd was guaranteed to be available at pick 2 THEN it would be gold.

    Not sure. If Boyd off the table and clubs want to get the best pick we have it! Not all clubs are after a Tom Boyd

    its likely GWS may take Fyfe for P1.

    and I reckon then they'll start to trade for some other mature bodied players.

    this could be the biggest trade period ever. hold on to your hat, we have competition for the mature players we want ourselves.

    I wonder if there will be quite a few kids left over from the draft, with clubs taking many mature players. the preseason/rookie drafts may be interesting this year.

    is that a rumour, or a fact? this is the rumour page didn't you know!

    Far LESS likely if Buddy does go to Sydney. GWS will take Boyd.

    It certainly will be interesting - no doubt! Nearly as exciting as awaiting the news of our new coach last month - and nearly as drawn out!

    Fitzy and pick 2 for Fyfe. Similair deal as the juddy one without visy involved.

    Yep Fyfe will leave Freo for the bottom two clubs in the league

  • Quote

    If he goes to Sydney, GWS would surely take Boyd with #1.

    This devalues our #2 doesn't it? Since the previous speculation was if they got Buddy, they may skip Boyd at #1?

    Not sure I agree. If GWS take Boyd (which I think they will do), this means that our pick 2 becomes the most valuable tradable pick in the draft for all other clubs. That should be worth quite a lot in a draft which thins out quite quickly after pick 30 apparently.

    Incidentally, there is speculation that GWS will pay serious attention to any trade for an experienced ruckman with 3-4 years left in him. Surely we could package something up involving Jamar to get one or two of their gun mids? Could be good value for us.

    Don't know if Jamar has that much left in the tank, but we can only hope!

    Taylor Hunt any value to us?

    No no no.

    That is way over the top. Fyfe isn't that good. Fitzy will be better than any of them, and be a gun in the midfield - mark my words.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
