    You say no more than an average wife . Do you at least say yes on significant anniversaries.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I think an early 2nd round pick should trump Carlton.

    Would love to get away with a 3rd round pick in what is a weak draft.

    I'd go hard for him.

  • Quote

    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

    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.

    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

    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)

    Value doesn't decrease for a required player under contract that requests a trade.

    Value stays constant.

    offer Savage 3-yr deal. offer hawks pick 21 (sylvia compo). hawks give us Savage and pick 38.

    We have to get Savage. Exactly what MFC needs. Hawks do not want him going to a serious competitor

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
