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.

AFL Draft, Trade, Free Agency, List and General News

Shane Savage has announced that he has chosen Carlton as his club of preference to be traded to. It's understood pick 28 that the blues acquired for the Shaun Hampson trade will get the deal done.
Don't know how reliable but not surprised really.

so ??

Michie most likely will go for a 3rd rounder. Savage will probably need something a bit better and As previously suggested Id happily hand over the Sylvia pick. After all youre then only effectively swapping Col for Shane.!! Wish we could have done that a few seasons ago :rolleyes:

If we stop thinking in terms of picks's valued being what everyone else suggests they are and look to the trading purely from a needs basis and deal accordingly we can be a very effective player. In reality picks are only what you want them to be.

Michie, Savage, Cross...all getable . Sewell would be serious icing, not impossible !!

My thoughts here are governed by the idea that this EOS other than maximising the value of pick 2 our real and prioity need is to bolster the miidfield. Its not a requirement ( absolute) to bolster further more our stocks of kids. We have years to do that and we still have some banked.

Lets use this year to somehow forge something that resembles a AFL team.Do that first,refine and finesse it later

We still need to add minimum 3 kids to the list (or upgrade rookies).

We don't have many rookie candidates beyond Clisby, and I'd rather not be using pick 76 in what is a terminally shallow draft.

It's about balance, and I think we have to be careful.

We can't find room for Cross, Sewell, Michie, Savage, Myers, Shiel and Bugg.

Not without delisting more players, and I'm not sure who's left that is OOC.

Highly unlikely to get all of Cross, Sewell, Michie, Savage, Myers, Shiel and Bugg.

Has chosen carlton as his club of choice

This makes no sense to me. Carlton also have a strong midfield and he won't be much better off than at Hawks, particularly as they have just picked up Daisy

If Shane was a KPP then the Blues would be a good destination for him. It is also difficult to see them taking the next step to GF participation

He could end up at a middle of the road club getting limited game time.

Im wondering how much would pivot on the Scums ability to offload others though

Yes, thankyou, I am aware of that.

Still, we don't want to be trading away all of our early picks.

We'd still like a half-decent opportunity for an influx of worthwhile talent, since some still have to come in.

I can only imagine the $ has played a key part in his decision if this is true.

Doesn't make sense to me but then again I'm not in the know....

Even that makes no sense as Scum are unloading big time as they have salary cap headaches already. I can't see how they can offer overs to Savage !! if that was the thinking

Facebook rumours belong in the rumour mill... Don't post 'gospel' from any of the facebook groups, they are run by no names...

Give us a quote, then we can say he wants to go to the blues...

He's not a free agent, he doesn't get to nominate a club to go to. If we offer better to the Hawks than pick 28, they are 100% within their rights to deal with us. He's expressed a preference, but nobody is in any way bound to listen to him.

They're in the process of screwing over Brisbane to get Longer and have happily mentioned in the media that they are Longer's nominated club. It would probably be in their interests to get Savage to his nominated club.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
