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.

    Its only a missed opportunity if we were actually in the hunt in the first place.

    No one is going to nominate Melbourne as their preferred club.

    What ever happenned to players not getting a choice in where they were offloaded to.

    Seem like the players have all the power these days.

    Bring back the meat market.

    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.

    who is.. still have pick 2 and our original 2nd rnd pick !!

    hardly small change ?

    Cross is a freebie.

    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

    its odd for sure.. is it Mickey just want to hog all the lollies ? lol

    Daisy will have cost a packet and they havent exactly moved on many costing much. Like yourself McQ...Its got me stuffed.

    Must have opened another box of brown bags !! :rolleyes:

    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...

  • Quote

    yep, nothng about SS on the main media sources

  • Quote

    We can offer 22 assuming we get it as compo for Sylvia.

    Better than 28 from the Blues.

    Still frustrating that we're not a good destination though.

  • Quote

    far from signed, sealed or delivered yet

    Scum have no money room currently

    still makes it hard :unsure:

    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.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
