Kennedy and McGlynn proves sometime they get it wrong. I rate Savage, he is exactly the type of fringe mid we should be targetting.

I can't see Hawthorn letting him go unless they get a huge win. As a club they are scum when it comes to the draft period, they get players for absolute nothing and ask for ridiculous picks in return

I beg to differ. From what I've seen of Savage, he would easily hold down a spot in our best 22. In fact, there's a fair chance he would feature our best 22.

It's my (possibly incorrect) opinion that Hawthorn have quite a number of average players who wouldn't do much in a poor team. This bloke is one of them.

Shane Savage becomes a PRIORITY for MFC now he has called out leaving the Hawks. He is tough, skilled, pacy and loves a goal. Squeezed out at HFC due to weight of small mids and forwards.

EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED ... GO HARD WITH A 3YR DEAL

What do you reckon he will cost trade wise?

Agreed - I think he would be very good for the Dees and would come pretty cheap.

"Savage would be an attractive proposition to clubs looking for young midfielders with around 50 games experience in a good system."

"He was a brilliant performer for the Box Hill Hawks during the finals series, kicking five goals and getting 28 disposals in the preliminary final."

"Hawthorn had a productive meeting with the 22-year-old midfielder on Wednesday where all options were laid on the table and both parties agreed on a way forward.

Although he is contracted for 2014, the Hawks were very supportive of Savage and respectful of his position."

Hawks happy to help Savage search for new club

I think Melbourne would be a attractive place because he would definitely be in the 22 and we could also throw some decent money at him.

If we could make us his preferred club we should be able to force Hawthorns hand and get him cheap.

C'mon Melbourne, get it done if for no other reason than we could have a forward line boasting both Hogan AND Savage - the MEGA-POWERS REUNITE!!! :)

But seriously this guy actually has pretty good disposal by foot and think he would be a good addition.

If Hawthorn are happy to facilitate a trade for him, the asking price wont be high

id have thought a pick in the range high 30's to mid 40's would do it.

Strangely unlike many I think Sylvias pick will be around 34/35/36 depending on others compos so this might suffice

Maybe not.

Depends on what Carlton are offering though.

If they offer 1st round and we offer a 3rd round, I can't imagine Hawthorn would care where his preference is.

Ist round ? never.. 2nd rounder ..highly doubtful ...they will most likely offer their 3rd ...and we can trump that.. imho :)

Assuming we get a 2nd rounder for Col, I would think we could get involved in a 3 way trade with the Hawks and Bris and end up with Savage. This is assuming a number of other factors fall into place. Like Rockliff requesting a trade.

We trade pick 2 and our 2nd round compo (pick 21??)

Bris sends Rockliff and their first round pick 6 to us and Longer to Haw

Hawks send their first round to Bris (19) and Savage to us.

We end up with Rockliff, pick 6 and Savage

Bris get picks 2, 19 and 21

Hawks get Longer

Pretty Win-Win-Win for all??

So we only give up pick 2 and 21 for Rockliff, 6 and savage??? Like it...but no chance in hell

Might sound a bit far fetched but would pick 2 for hawthorns pick 17, 18 (buddy compo) and savage be fair?

Turning pick #2 into 3 solid players would be a real win for us. 17 could land the best hard bodied mid who slides (as im starting to think our second rounder may be too late with all the compo picks), pick 18 could be used on Zack Jones + Savage should be a solid contributor. Although I'd hate for a premiership side in hawthorn to receive the best midfielder in he draft

Mate, nice try, but seriously, you've got Brisbane giving up Rockliff for 2, Longer for 19, and then downgrading pick 6 for pick 21.

Doesn't get close to adding up.

You're Dreamin.

Forget them giving us pick 6.

That 3way deal is a NO DEAL

Anyone else think this guys a bit of a spud. Just not a very smart footballer. Can kick but doesn't use the ball well. Doesn't win a heap of the ball. Isn't really a forward, inside mid or outside mid.

I'd take him for a third round pick because he's ready to go and would add something but I would kind of be hoping he gives us 50 decent games over the next few years but then gets pushed out by more talented players.

My first assumption was that Rockliff requests a trade, therefore his value significantly decreases. Plus Longer has told them he's gone (or as good as), so this deal although not ideal for Brisbane, is something they might consider rather than just losing Longer for 19 and that's it.

I'd only want Savage if he's the steak knives because I don't think he's worth a second rounder.

If we make players want to come for us, and this will take cash, then it strengthens our ability to be involved in trading.

Yer - A fringe player at Hawthorn asking to leave isn't going to cost a 1st round pick (possibly 2nd round if there are multiple interested teams)

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
