Really I know I shouldn't do this to the less fortunate but from the Frawley thread Post #2045 which responded to your post of

You look absolutely silly here.. why?

Daniel Talia who just won Adelaides best and fairest and in the All Australian 40 squad averages 11.8 disaposals per game this year. He played all 22 games.

I would happily give up first round draft pick.

and your response was

Olisik

He was taken in the rookie draft and you would want to give up pick 2 or 3 for him?

So I'm not making sh%t up nor deluded, you're just playing silly buggers or were to dumb to realise Dazzle was talking about Talia even though he actually named the player for you

I'll make a note not to listen to Olisik

Which player was the link about? Frost or Talia?

You need to just move on, the only poster people are judging is you, olisik.

You are the one that read it wrong, and the one with the terrible point about key defenders.

Slink away, don't attack.

 

Would pick 2 get you O'Rourke, Jaksch and Frost from GWS if you threw in say Blease, who is a good mate of the $7m man and/or a later pick.

Pick 2 would get them Petracca if Saints pass on him.

None of the GWS guys I named is a star but all could have good careers with us.

Problem could be if Saints took Petracca then GWS could take Brayshaw and 2 best mids are gone.

Trading for pick 3 if we get it, could solve that problem if we promised not to take Petracca.

Other possibility is if we get a PP even say at about 20 we could trade for O'Rourke and Frost and get a lower pick back.

That would leave higher picks to trade 1 and use the other in draft.

I agree with what you say, but the thing is even if we trade pick 3 and promise not to take petracca the possibility of saints taking him with 1 is still the same. GWS would have to somehow find out what the saints plans are first.

IF we are to trade pick 2, it has to be for a proven young gun, but who would want to risk trading a known quality for what is unknown- there would have to be some kind of go home factor involved.

I think trading pick 2 away is too risky for the reasons you outlined- we could miss out on both the gun midfielders. I think the move to make would be floating pick 3 for whoever wants a bite at one of the talls. Dogs or Blues may be interested in trade of a player and first round picks. Dogs have one go the lowest rankings for marks inside 50 in the legue.

Must hold on to 2 unless a trade involving a mid that's too good to refuse comes into play (unlikely). Pick 3 is the go for me.

Assuming we even get pick 3, that is

Rather than starting a seperate topic some tragic news coming out of Perth at the moment in regard to a player who was mentioned as a possible target for next season.

Anthony Morabito looks to have done his knee again, tragedy if true just couldn't get his body right

Feel for Morabito - doesn't seem fair when this happens to him and other players seem to take their careers for granted e.g Sylvia

His mentality strength must have hit an all new low for him now.

.... what?

Horrible news for Morabito, was going to be an absolute gun a few years back and now he may never play again. Just tragic.

Heard this a few minutes ago 'Pennant', how many times do you keep fronting up to rehab? He may have been a chance this weekend too depending on Ballantyne.

He looked the goods early on, can he keep going...who knows, hope something works out for him.

Proof read wouldn't go astray Daz!

Really feel for Morabito, but that's footy I suppose.

cheers.

Latest report is no structural damage for Morabito, good to hear the kid needs a bit of luck

Surely we would be one of the clubs throwing the kitchen sink at Jake Carlisle.

Why not, if they want Clark seems like a good swap.

I would give them Clark and pick 3 if I had to, and pay Carlisle what he wants. He is bloody good and only going to get better.

I'd go down the road of the get out clause before offering anything up for him

Yep, I guess my point is more about them chasing Clark. Happy to get compensated for Clark and take Carlisle for nix.

Not sure where to put this, but:

Bit of news out of @melbournefc , they've put a lot of work into blease (pick 17), but I understand he wants a trade to @CarltonFC #afl

Thoughts? He was probably going to be delisted anyway, but would you be happy with a late pick or is there a (realistic) trade for a player we would go for IF this tweet turns out to be true?

We may get a half eaten pie and a first choice orange cutter in exchange for him ;).

Blease Tapscott and Strauss were all told in their exit interviews that we will try to on trade them.
If unsuccessful, they will reassess.

Blease has been talking to Carlton for a while, and Strauss has also had some chats.

So if we get anything for those 3, its a bonus

Anyone from other clubs we are chasing?

Dont attack? And what the [censored] are you trying to do with every 2nd post I make which has nothing to do with you?

Grow up mate, poor form.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
