Patrick Dangerfield

[Nasher 33,047]

Every just calm down and play nice and stay on topic. I have no qualms about banning people so just try me.

Too late, I already did.

[Ethan Tremblay 28,356]

I hear he is coming to Melbourne

According to his manager, he'll be playing at Adelaide next year. Now with Beams going to Brissy, who does that leave us with?

Picks 2 and 3 in a shallow draft which goes to about pick 4, with the swans no hope of doing any deal of note without one of them.

Our worst case is we get Bradshaw and the tall forward Mc Cartlin? Is that so bad?

ET. I dare say Beams was ONLY ever going to the Lions. What slowed it down was the tenacity of the Pies in exacting what they deemed a suitable reward. Well played Filth. Got to admire them in that. Beams was never coming to us so in that sense we cant miss out on what wasn't.

Re Dangermouse. 24hrs is a long time in footy , so 48 more than allows for T's to get crossed and I's dotted. His manager is just playing the game..... we all are.

You're the only one saying this.

[beelzebub 22,225]

would the club consider a deal as easy as 1, 2, 3

take a former #1 package with picks 2 and 3 for Danger their picks #10 and #31 ?

just brainstorming it really

I dont think Trenners was part of any Danger deal. I suspect the Crows are holding out for more but we have put a limit on the deal given the free agency situation. In all deals there is a point at which you move on and if the pieces fall into place so be it.

Just a flying it up the flagpole case here really but what I see the club wanting is an absolute gun of a midfielder and the chance at maybe a decent pick at the draft but around where they think a Lever type might go.

The picks etc are just a means to an end. If we accomplish our goal..we've done ok.its for others to possibly continue the narrative over this or that.

The goal of trade week is to better you list and /or position in draft if thats your direction. Its not our direction I feel . Ours is to get more ready to go now types to impact the team starting round 1 2015.

All will be revealed in the coming days without doubt.

Petracca and Brayshaw.

Easy.

Shall i keep my avatar until then?

[SaberFang 7,141]

Petracca and Brayshaw.

Easy.

No chance. GWS have picks 4 and 7, they'll offer that to the Saints. Suits both teams perfectly. Saints want quantity over quality, and they still secure a key tall with those picks. GWS want quality over quantity, because they have to cull their list. They'll take Petracca and run.

Forget about Petracca, it ain't happening.

[Moneider96 1,045]

I'm super disappointed about this trade period....

Well it's our damn fault if we were dumb enough to put all our energy into a ridiculous pipe dream like Dangerfield, while ignoring dozens of excellent and far easier targets scattered across the league.

[ManDee 7,076]

Seriously guys, chill.

The big deals often come at the end.

I still think we have a big fish on the line.

Aren't GWS trading one of those picks for Griffen?

[the grint 71]

Seems to be way to quiet. Either weve done our deal or its fallen through from poor JT

Didn't we put the cue in the rack with about 4 days to go last year?

Leaving everything to the last possible second seems a rather bizarre trade strategy. What benefit does it achieve except allowing everything to fall through at the last minute and leave you with no time to trade players (gives no time for medicals/facilities tours/consultation with footy departments) or time to formulate a backup plan?

I just fear the pick 12/Trengove fiasco has completely buggered up some apparent master plan, and left us with no leverage to do anything. It's also given other clubs ample time to muscle in on any territory we were gaining, potentially undermining any trades we had in the works. Case in point: Bulldogs now making a play for Frost.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Highly doubt it if Boyd ends up going to Bulldogs. That changed everything and was completely out of the blue. If anything GWS will want Griffen & pick 6 in exchange for Boyd.

Have no idea how those two clubs will sort that one out, but if we were targetting a GWS player I'd assume they'll tell us to rack off now. Yet another reason why this "strategy" of leaving everything until the last minute is fraught with danger and politics when 17 other clubs are all fighting to get ahead.

Relax, Trengove put us back a bit as have Collingwood. The big trade may not happen but I fail to see how pick 2 and 3 is a bad result for us.

The big trades always seem to come late and take everyone by surprise, so there is time yet and it may be us.

The thing I don't understand is that didn't Roos say that the fans are sick of waiting. So why would be take pick 2 and 3 into the draft...? Surely something big will happen in the next couple of days otherwise I'm going to be realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly [censored].

I'd feel a lot better if we at least had Lamumba and Frost secured. Colonwood are [censored] everyone around, us most of all with the difficult Clark situation, which has seen North start moving in on Lamumba. And now Bulldogs are muscling in on Frost because they have a surplus of late picks to offer the Giants, while we have nothing left at the top end of the draft.

Almost wonder if this is just sabotage from Colonwood to ruin our entire draft strategy.

Exactly, this sudden "we'll just take those picks to the draft" reeks of "oops, everything fell apart." In which case you have to ask, what the hell were we thinking put all our eggs in one basket? You can't honestly tell me there weren't genuinely good fringe players at Sydney or Hawthorn looking for more opportunities, or players at Adelaide/Freo/West Coast/Brisbane/GWS desperate to come back to Victoria, that we could easily have swayed over with the lure of Roos/$$$?

Have never wanted to be proven wrong so badly in my life, but...
