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

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: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • 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.
