The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Good idea.

Gold Coast badly want a franchise key forward of the future, in the mould of Tom Boyd.

I'd be talking with them for sure if we had pick 1 and Swallow has gone a bit under the radar this year - seems to be a bit behind Prestia, O'Meara, Bennell and Harbrow in the midfield pecking order.

Who cares what GC want, If we get pick 1 it will be a PP pick. I'd rather hunt Pick 2 from GWS and make them give us a midfielder as well. then we have picks 2&3 to get more midfield talent.

would you ask for Taylor adams and pick 2

or dylan shiel and a later pick

it's hard to judge the currency of the GWS players.

Just want to get some opinions on Frawley movement at the end of next year. I have a gut wrenching feeling that Hawthorn might make a play for him when he is out of contract and as a restricted free agent. With Brian Lake possibly retiring at the end of this/next year a huge hole could open up where they would love a player of his caliber, not to mention that it seems Hawthorn always snare players whom they approach without any difficulty or giving up much in return (Hale, Lake, Gunston, Gibson, Burgoyne, etc)

Thoughts?

I think our biggest threat to chip will be the saints. In the next 2 seasons they will be potentially losing Hayes, Reiwoldt, Dal santo, Milne and Kosi. This will leave a massive salary cap gap and therefore they could throw a huge amount of cash and a long term contract at Chip that he just won't be able to knock back.

He goes.....he goes.

Good player who lacks the capacity to supply on field leadership.

If he's not happy, I say we trade him now, rather than letting him walk for nothing.

Definite possibility.

If we can't re-sign Frawley, we might as well close the doors.

I'd rather Shiel, but Adams and pick 2 would mean we'd bet the best 2 mid's in the draft pool assuming Boyd goes at 1. We would likely have to throw in a player to get it over the line. Seems from talk a number of clubs would like pick 1, and will inquire about it.

We must re-contract Sylvia. Surely this is a no brainer.

Definite possibility.

If Col leaves, I'd say it will be a strong indicator that Chip will follow suit, so if a good trade is put up this year I'd be willing to entertain the idea.

Just a hypothetical, if Watts doesn't want to sign how about Watts and a pick for Martin?

That's assuming Choco is coming across too and I suppose if he does Watts will likely want to stay as Choco is a known developer of young talent.

I'd ask him.

'Are you committed to the cause, son? Because we need you to become a leader on the field!'

I'd rather we put a contract in front of Chippa and tell him 'sign the dotted lines or you'll never leave this room'. We'll need Jamar and Tapscott on hand to restrain him though.

Or if Choco's on board, just get him to sit on Frawley. Choco's a big unit.

    Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes 5 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
