nah, they might get pick 4 and 7....for Griffen and something i reckon

But pick 4 should be enough for a bloke who's 28 and has question marks over his long-term fitness.

I don't share the expectation that we will land a high quality midfielder each year at trade time. We got lucky last year with Tyson, but young, high quality mids don't move around that often and when they do, are we realistically any more likely than any of the other clubs to land them?

I think part of the problem is Roos was a genius with that trade and gave everyone a lesson in recruiting 101. So why is this a problem? Because now every single team is trying to copy that trade this year. It was the perfect storm of Tyson wanting to leave, having a history of injuries, and GWS desperately wanting Kelly.

4 & 7 for Griffen and 6 would be fair. I don't see GWS giving up 4 & 6 just for Griffen, he's probably only got 3 years left in him, and he has back problems.

Now, it seems pretty clear he's a [censored] off the field, but what would people be willing to give up for Toby Greene? If we had a spare second rounder for him, I'd be willing to do the trade.

My main concern is that Roos is going on hols next wk if my memory serves me correctly.

I know Viney and co r still here but I would prefer Roos to be as well.

Thankfully we live in a time where we no longer have to write letters as our only means of communication over long distances.

(Roos doesn't need to be there in person for him to be kept up to date with the hypotheticals/offers/movements of trade week)

Sounds like Lions did not blink re Beams.

Stuck to offer of 5 and 25 (the latter would get Greenwood to Pies). No word from Pies. Effectively pick 5 and Greenwood for Beams. Sounds fair.

Just hope it does not make Coll more stubborn and go even harder in our trade for Lumumba and try to get a pick fro Greenwood. Hope we hold our nerve like the Lions did and not pay overs for HL

Schapelle. A tough hard mid.

definately in & under these days I imagine, use to grappling with the hard nuts. maybe she could mentor watts his name.

Yes but she notoriously has "baggage"

reckon stone could flatten that out.

-----------------------------------------

I wonder if we could work out a deal that saw us target Devon Smith from the Giants, i rate him quite highly and seems like the sort of player who would be less of a priority for them to retain than Shiel and Treloar, float some dollars under his nose and see if we can work a deal out

Shiel will leave, it's just a matter of making the right offer IMO, unless he's on a promise with the Hawks Saints or Pies for 2015.

Make him the offer he can't refuse, & build Devon Smith into it, as Jaksch seems too far gone for us now.

Shiel & DSmith to Dees for P-2, 23, & Bail.

I can't see GWS believing that is a fair trade, that would be steal for us.

Lions are going to shake things up next season - Rockliff/Beams/Rich/Redden/Christensen/Mayes/Lewis/Hanley/Zorko/Aish. More than decent.

Yep, scarily good lineup. Someone on BF mentioned it was a little suss that only a few months after Gil was up there for crisis talks, they assign a new CEO and suddenly all these players want to go to Brisbane.

I know Swann came out talking about how much money they had free in their cap (no doubt Gil's filling their coffers despite the $10m deficit). If it's that easy to lure Christensen/Beams types to Brisbane for the money, don't see why we can't do the same.

I'd take P-7 for Howe...

P-23, 33 & Bail for Devon Smith & Frost

I can't see GWS believing that is a fair trade, that would be steal for us.

we haven't got a pick around P-15, which I imagine would be enough for Smith. I rate Shiel who would want to come back to Vic; as a P-5 currently, but we could throw something else in to get him.

Leigh is having a big impact I would say, already.

as well as the other footy dept acquisitions.

Dees should sort out their deal with Geelong for mc with a good draft pick and perhaps a swap of some of our later picks, leave collingwood out of it for now, when they want to trade for HL they can call us. The draft picks give us a bit more leverage to go after other players or pick up something reasonable in the draft should Collingwood continue to F@@t us around. They after all want to get rid of HL probably more that we want him, so let them chase us on this instead, if we miss on him we can pick up another decent player and Collingwood can continue to pay HL's contract.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
