The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Featured Replies

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.


Sylvia can go wherever he wants. He is UFA. Cannot be traded. Compensation would be around a third or fourth draft pick?

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

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.

Don't really want to start a debate, but is there any more development left in him?

Has he plateaued?

I think he's a keeper.

2 year contract.

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.

I'd give him 3

would it be wrong to put the question to chip? are you gunna leave if so we will get something for you

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.

would it be wrong to put the question to chip? are you gunna leave if so we will get something for you

I'd ask him.

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

Oh, wait....

We tried that with Scully.

Scratch that.

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.

Karnezis told lions he wants out back home to Victoria. Perfect PSD pick 2 if we secure Adams via a trade

Like him but where would he play? If he could play a tall mid role...


Direct swap for Ro Bail?

Sorry, can't see Ro Bail being even a deposit on the acquisition of Karnezis.

To be honest i kinda forgot we had bail.

You would want to throw in Gilles and Pedersen to sweetin the deal!

We don't really. I think he's finished, he probably shouldn't be playing at all anymore with his concussion history.

  • 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.
