The second part being "unless we can get Dylan Shiels we are keeping pick 2", goodoil?

Posted

I would imagine trading pick 2 down would be smart if we are going for Freeman as people think he is around the 8-15 range and firming however i think there would be a short list of teams who will take him top 5 and we could bank on him sliding if this is our plan and get something else out of the situation.

Not sure about Freeman I know that we have been following Josh Kelly for 2 years keeping an eye on his development and I would be shocked if we still had pick 2 and didn't pick him.

love this kid, gonna be a star

just putting this out there and i love frawley more than anyone but could we do some thing with GWS like shiels, tyson and there compo pick (middle of first round) for james frawley or shiels there compo pick and the pick they get for adams from collingwood?? we get alot more than if he decides to go next year

Shiels is okay, but he aint worth pick 2.

Shiels is pretty damn good Dallas (sorry but your initials are JR!). Would definitely be happy with him. But i have watched vision of Freeman and he is a future gun! I can see why PRoos has such a high opinion of him> Also if you listened to K Shhehan today he also reinforced this. He won't be going out of top 5!

James is going nowhere

There is no such person as Dylan Shiels, it's Shiel. There is Liam (?) Shiels at Hawthorn.

Apologies, damn typewriter!

Shiels is okay, but he aint worth pick 2.

Why not? Which one of these kids are clearly better than him? None of them will be able to provide the instant injection of quality that Shiel will next year either. Shiel fulfills everything we want about pick 2.

He can win the ball inside or out. Has 33 games under his belt. Does the hard stuff but also finishes off with disposal and goals. Would be perfect.

Adelaide desperately want aish.

We have pick 2.

Follow that trail and see what can be conjured.

Pick 2 for sloane? Is that fair? Maybe if it is sweetened.

That's where the deal is.

Can't help but think P Roos is conditioning us all for a Frawley trade or putting heat on Chip to extend ASAP. Spud and pick 2 in return for Shiel and pick 10 or 11 (from Collingwood for Adams) to allow us to draft young mid. Would leave a gaping hole in defense.

Everything he puts in the media has a purpose - has great ability to look as though he's just passing commentary on footy - but think he's always got an agenda to get out.

Would Frawley even want to go to GWS?

We worry about not being able to trade for a GWS player that doesn't want to come to us, so shouldn't it also work in the opposite direction?

I'm not a fan of trading Chip just because he'll be a RFA.

We can match it, and I simply can't see him being offered what we are unable to match.

If it means we have to pay more of the cap, fine, we pay more of the cap.

Even if we match and then trade.

But I can't foresee us being unable to match it.

Dallas?

I like it.

Anyways, I just think he's above average, but not great....Shiel I mean.

Frawley leaving next year will mean we get Band 1 comp and a top 5 pick most likely, or we trade or keep him as a RFA.

If you don't know the FA rules, google them or search for a thread on here.

Now back to the rumours...

Pick 2 for Brad Crouch would be amazing

How do u know this Demoneyes???

He doesn't. Unless we don't improve massively next year its bye bye Frawley.

This link is from an article in the Sun, http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/melbourne-coach-paul-roos-says-clubs-could-start-trading-their-stars-early/story-fni5f91a-1226735616834

Roos makes a couple of very interesting points. With lousy compensation for free agents clubs will trade players in the last year of their contract if they don't want to extend their existing contract. Is that a message to any of our players in this position? The article then goes on to quash any thoughts of Rockliff being recruited, saying "Roos adamant Melbourne will part with selection two for a young midfielder. The Demons have inquired about Brisbane’s Tom Rockliff who has declined their offer, with West Coast’s Luke Shuey also not available despite overtures".

Fairly definitive statement IMO

didn't I tell you guys the club was super keen on Luke Shuey?

He doesn't. Unless we don't improve massively next year its bye bye Frawley.

If we don't start improving I think its bye bye a lot of supporters and more players too.

Just look now how players don't want to come near us.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
