Or Roos is throwing everyone off and we are preparing to get Tex instead?

God bless trade week(s)

My favourite time too, especially as we are no good at football or drafting.

This was started by a crazy pies supporter on bigfooty and every other clown pies supporter is re-tweeting it. I can't believe you can get sucked in and put it here like you heard it.

I'm sorry I will ask your permission next time I post something in case I'm getting "sucked in"

we're getting better at the drafting :rolleyes:^_^

You'd think the Lions wouldn't entertain trading Aish at this stage, even for Beams. Was very good in his first year and looks to be a 10 year midfielder in his own right.

Pick 4 by itself may not get the job done, maybe adding a second rounder or one of Gardiner/McStay would do it.

They wouldn't be giving away McStay.

I think you will find pick 4 will end up being enough, it's never enough for Collingwood but they are posturing at the moment and that's what they will get or lose him anyway.

Been told today Collingwood want to offer 4 & 8 for Danger.

If they got him and Clark I'll spew up.

They won't want to miss out on Moore so I would doubt that very much.

Dangerfield will not be at Melbourne next year, the year after, or the year after that.

He is however, on the move....

Makes sense. Danger is an upgrade on Beams. Will need to give up their 1st rounder as well. Clark for HL they'll see as bonus.

It will be increasingly difficult for lowly clubs like Melbourne to attract big stars. Players want both money and success.

I just heard back from my source of good gossip and he said Danger had an open conversation with the club that suggested he would be leaving next year and that if they wanted to trade him this year he'd be for it, but he wouldn't force their hand persay.

Now we just have to hope, it's the red and blue that's in his sights.

We can't just fall into a depression because of new rumours.

We must believe! Like one of those cults that teach you that if you think about something hard enough, you'll get it.

This is feasible. They will get brisbanes pick 4 (5 hopefully) if beames goes there. I can't see them still having pick 8/9 though. I think this will have to be used on Moore. Moore is a real talent. Imo he is the best prospect of the talls in the draft. His skills will carry up to afl very well. Not instantly but after a couple of years developing.

PartyBoy piped up about Goodwin after it publicly known that we were in discussions to appoint him as senior assistant.

Effectively, he took a free swing at a fast ball and connected.

He might not be as lucky this time.

Any deal with Danger going to Colonwood falls apart if they have to use 8 on Moore, which looks likely.

Besides, something seems pretty toxic there at the moment. Not saying we're went better in our current state, but I'd rather mentor under one Paul Roos than ten Nathan Buckley's.

Should we bid 2 on Moore? Is he worth that pick?

I'm not going to rule out that this is a smoke screen for another player. It's not like Roos for this kind of talk to leak out, nor for him to comment about it in the media.

Their interest in Moore is the key here - he is clearly a talent, but do they overlook him and allow him to go elsewhere if they want to have a proper crack at Danger?

We still hold the better deal though, we just need to convince him to come to us instead of the filth.

If the statement was to be taken seriously there must be some sort of substantiation, otherwise it's just speculation like everything else.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
