Potential Trades [Warning: Reading this thread may self-destruct]

Unlikely, Balme said last night that we agreed to terms with Geelong last week, so it's essentially always been Clark for their second rounder. The only change that happened when it went to a 3 way trade was Geelong offering Colonwood Varcoe instead of a second rounder.

If they coughed up their third rounder as well and we got the Frost trade across the line today I'd be ecstatic.

So would I.

What pick do we trade for that?

There's definitely something wrong with the Trade Week structure if a mediocre player like Travis Varcoe can single handedly hold up proceedings. Is that what is happening here?

finally, something is happening...

I am still confused why the Collingwood/Brisbane (working out the Beams trade) has impacted on the Clark, Lumumba and Varcoe bit... unless there are other minor trades/upgrade of picks involved. Why did it need to be a 5 way trade ?

Apparently because Collingwood demanded it, despite our vocal intentions to do the Clark deal seperately.

Does anyone else think we should make a play for Membry?

A play like that with pick 23 could force the Saints into the draft without many forward options (especially if Stanly is traded to the Cattery).

It may make them go for one of the big forwards in this draft (McCartin or Wright) leaving Brayshaw and Petracca?


Not

Not unless we have Frost locked up before the PSD, because they'd take him instead of Membrey with their first pick.

He's nominated St Kilda so he'll get there. No point in making a play for him.

How long does it take to make a deal with Collingwood? Probably as long as it takes the average Collingwood supporter to work out a basic math problem.

so... a deliberate ploy to hold up other trades in case they get left out of the loop.... then yeah it's a joke. the other clubs should be filthy with the pies.

Everyone getting a lesson in trade 101: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH COLLINGWOOD.

The amount of bridges they are burning by dragging out this process is staggering. Hopefully clubs don't have short memories with this stuff.

lol, our receptionist is a Collingwood supporter and 3 weeks ago I walked into the office and I hear.... "yeah, 25 + 46 = 86"

Great, day 8 of 8.5 and we've secured our second trade.

No closer on securing Frost though.


Wouldn't we just take him in the PSD?

All it takes is another club to offer him a better contract and offer GWS any draft pick and he could easily get nabbed from under our nose.

Doing nothing in the hope he'll just slide to the PSD has its fair share of risks.

DONE DEAL: Mitch Clark to Geelong, Heritier Lumumba to Melbourne and Travis Varcoe to Collingwood mfcde.es/1o9EcBF

Makes you wonder what all the fuss was about. Maybe Varcoe's first impression of FIGJAM was the hold-up.

All it takes is another club offering him a better contract and GWS any draft pick and he could easily get taken by another club.

The PSD has its fair share of risks.

I don't think anyone this late in trade will coff up a pick for him. Mahoney has even said we could take him in the PSD. Therefore, Saints are our only competitor.

 

[censored] you Clark!

I've never stopped loving someone so quickly. Hope you never experience any success you coward.

Clark in a Geelong jumper makes me sick to my stomach.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
