Players to target at the end of the year

What do people think about Daniel Gorringe? (Pick 10 in the 2011 draft, 22yrs, 200cm, 96 kg, 20 games)

I don't profess to be a talent scout but in the games I have seen him play he appeared quite dangerous in a ruck/forward role and may be a suitable replacement for Clark.

Others here may have more knowledge about him and the Suns that could perhaps enlighten us, but to me (on the surface at least) he appears to be behind other talls such as Smith, Dixon, Day, Lynch and Nicholls. I do understand he has had a few injury concerns as well (ankle?). Believe he is contracted for next year but a lure of constant game time might convince him to seek a trade. Second round pick perhaps?

 

Now we are passing the hat around. I'm embarrassed. As a football club we are absolute sh it. We cannot sink any lower. No passion no pride.

Sir Paul Roos offseason -

Pick 2, 3, 21, 39, 57, 72, 90

Trade Jack Watts and pick 21 to the bulldogs for pick 6

Trade Jack Grimes & Jack Fitzpatrick to Richmond for pick 11

Trade Pick 6 to Sydney Swans for Tom Mitchell and Nick Malceski

2- Draft Christian Petracca

3- trade to Gold Coast Suns for picks 9, 15

9- Draft Paul Ahern

11- Draft Liam Duggan

15- Draft Tom Lamb

39- Draft Billy Stretch

57 - Draft Oscar Mcdonald

72 - Upgrade Alex Georgiou

Delisted Free agents: Ryan O'keefe

Out: Fitzpatrick, Watts, Grimes, Tapscott, Strauss, Clisby, Byrnes, Clark, Frawley, Blease, Nicholson

In: Mitchell, Malceski, Petracca, Ahern, Duggan, Lamb, Stretch, McDonald, Georgiou, O'keefe

Pretty decent upgrade and talent injection without priority pick

 

3- trade to Gold Coast Suns for picks 9, 15

Wouldnt do that

Keep pick 3 and take Angus Brayshaw

HH I see the net value of ahern and lamb as being higher than brayshaw, I really don't think he's that far ahead


Who would we rather, Shiel or Petrecca?

Shiel, every day of the week. Gun.

Wouldnt do that

Keep pick 3 and take Angus Brayshaw

I see this as a real possible and dont mind it. Would rely on GC being keen on somebody early.

If melb take Pentracca at 2 and are not keen on either one of the talls or Brayshaw we could end up with another 2 for 1 deal. Players like Ahern, Goodard, Picket, Garlett, De Goey, duggan would be available at 9 & 15.

Comes down to if you think Patracca and Brayshaw is better than Patracca, Ahern and De Goey.

Personally think that Laverde is the classy skilled player Roos is looking for in the draft.

i rate him in the top 5.

Gee the dogs and tigers would have to be hard up to entertain any of that.

I've said this before but he could be the absolute star of this draft or just an ordinary footballer. Is he Fyfe or Murdoch (Geelong version) I trust our recruiters will know which one because it's up to us in the end.

Rjay you are trusting our recruiters to know! Big call. I hope you are right and they do for once in the last 7 years, the jury still out on last years trades by the way.

Not the trade for Tyson I would think, that stands alone as a good pick to me. Salem should come on ok, but yep the jury is out on all of our draft selections from last year. Non of them has taken the world by storm as of yet.

By the way I didn't say I trust our recruiters to know, it was a figure of speech I trust our recruiters will know. I think the jury is still out on Viney & Taylor and if Viney was so hot for Wines over Toumpas he should have threatened to walk like Bucky did with the Hawks over Buddy.

No way Dogs or Tigers would do these trades

Gee the dogs and tigers would have to be hard up to entertain any of that.

Richmond would love that deal, they are always paying overs for average players


Tyson Goldsack would be a great get for the MFC...

I think he's a free agent although we'd want to trade for him...probably somewhere around a 2nd round pick is fair.

No...Collingwood would jump at a 2nd round pick. Way overs.

I love the way he goes about his football but he is purely a grunt man, we need to add some real hard edged class.

he's a free agent - he can walk.

i think we should be trying to do a deal for one of north's swathe of similar midfielders - cunnington, gibson, bastinac, ziebell can't all play in the same side as swallow.

gibson is the one i would like the most, but any of them would add to our midfield. doubt a pick around 20 would do the job, and a top 3 pick is overs for any of those players, so it'd be a tough deal to get done.

 

Would love one of Cunnington, Ziebell, Bastinac but doubt North would let one go. Saying that, if they wanted Brayshaw or a forward like Wright who can develop under their bigs already for a few years or if they are lucky he might be able to be plonked in goal square from the get go. Might be worth it.

On our side i have no problem paying pick 3 for one of those players. Pick 2 and 21 for one of those players plus 14 think is fair for both teams, similar to Tysons deal. By the way this is after making sure they do not take the player we like best in Brayshaw or Petracca.

Out: Pick 2,3,21

In: Petracca, Ziebell, and 14(would be brilliant if Pickett was available here but again doubtful)

I would be happy!!

We should have pick 1 (PP), 3 and 4 (Frawley) this year.

Draft Petracca, Brayshaw and trade pick 4 and our 2nd rounder for another decent mid from the Bullies.

Bring in Stretch, Jurrah and trade out some other plodders for 2nd round picks and we may be able to turn over half of our best 22.

Sounds gr8.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
