    The jetta and rohan deal doesn't sound too bad. I would prob prefer an A grader. Heard worse ideas though

    Will you be the one to apologise when it doesn't happen first?

    is he really that good for a straight swap?

    I havent seen too much of him, but heard good things

    I hope we get a little creative, maybe even jump in with some other trades going on. For example instead of just pick 2 for Shiel, how about we try and work in with Sydney as well. They have to try and work out getting something for Mumford.

    Might work like this-

    we give pick 2 and 22 (col's compo) and get Shiel (GWS), Smith and pick 31 (Syd).

    GWS get pick 2 and Mumford and lose Shiel (us) and pick 20 and 22

    Syd lose Mumford and pick 31 and get pick's 20 and 22

    Just throwing it out that a little bit of creativity might get us more than just a straight pick for player.

    yeah it is a bad idea. Both those players are good but neither address our problem for a need for midfielders than can play in the guts

    Sydney lose Mumford, smith and pick 31 for 20 and 22... Not to sure they're that generous

    Your right, we should be asking for more. Pretty sure rohan is an all round mid isn't he? Jetta isn't really what we are after, running wingman. We do need in and under mids and some class as well.

  • Quote
    Averaged a combined 16.8 possessions this year, Jetta 11.8, Rohan 5.0. Exactly what we need :)

    Both were coming off injury. Rohan will be an absolute gun when he gets up and running as a mid one of the quickest players in the game, good size and good overhead. Think Dangerfield.

    Not saying he would be a good trade but with Parker yep.

    Its basically Mumford for 20 and Smith and 31 for 22. It frees up a bit more salary for them and they can hit the draft with 3 picks in the top 22. I think theyd consider it, especially if Smith wants to play more midfield time.

    No longer want to trade for pick 2, want Nathan Freeman! A gun! Saw some vids of him on the weekend, excatly what we need. Could be ready made like Ollie Wines!

  • Quote

    Dylan Shiel for pick 2 would be a brilliant result.

    Will GWS have in mid 13ish pick this year as well? or is that just GC I'm thinking of in regards to the Caddy trade.

    lol @ Essendon trying to play hard ball when all their players are on the verge of ASADA bans

    Haha, yeah they officially "rule him off limits" when no one wants him or will only pay unders. :)

    Must be a very new experience for Messendon to be treated as garbage

    Brave new world hey ....get used to it

    From the club website:

    http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-10-07/trade-winds-monday

    Makes mention of a couple of Swans players in a package and mentions Nick Smith. Could be worth noting, especially seeing as Chris Pelchan has said Saints aren't trading Pick 3. Could Parker be the other player?

    Maybe it's Pick 2 for Smith & Parker?

    Why deal with them and make them stonger with a potential champ at pick 2. Thhey already have Buddy etc...

    Thats not the Freeman you're looking for.

    1. we win out of the deal at least as a start of an improve (a rebuild of a rebuild of a...)

    2. the stronger they get the more obvious their financial advantage becomes causing an eventual correction by the league and a stronger footing to argue for a more equal footing (as in AFL guaranteeing 100% salary cap payments).

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
