Essendon have sent pick 62 to GWS for Giles.

Why on earth do we spend 5 years developing Spencer when you can bring in a much better, mature ruckman with a pick in the 60s?

Talk about clogging a list.

That is exactly why Roos doesn't take big guys in drafts.

 

I'd be happy to offer up Grimes as a sweetener. Maybe package him with 23 and see what clubs are willing to bite. Richmond or GWS could be interested.
 

That's a steal.

Massive steal. Would've done pick 23 for Giles + Frost.

Still doesn't help our midfield stocks but at least we'd have a fallback plan if Jamar starts the year injured yet again.

GWS may deal now that Ryder deal is over.

Hopefully we package a better deal for them than the Saints

The Bombers receive pick No.62 along with Giles and send pick No.53 to GWS.
 

I am very very surprised we aren't pushing hard for Mitch Hallahan...

It's almost a fait accompli that GWS will offer picks 4 and 6/7 to Saints for pick 1.

Or maybe picks 6 & 7, and hold on to pick 4, so they can get Petracca AND a key tall to replace Boyd. Saints would obviously argue for the former.

Happy to be proven wrong but it almost appears like we went incredibly hard at the one target, and when that collapsed we were too far out of the game to go after anyone else. Plenty of decent players (NB: none 'great') have moved clubs this year for picks worse than what we're still holding on to. Really frustrating.

I expressed the very same elsewhere the other day.. Would be better than half a dozen of our current lot youd think... Be a little improvement to the list...ah well.

Running out of time so you would have to hope that Saints say we are keeping pick 1 and can't get Membrey. That would make GWS look at us for any deal which could also clean up Frost.

If we want Lever we need to get 4 plus a v good player from GWS for our 3 (+/- steak knives) otherwise Coll will probably take Lever with 5.

Just got traded to the Suns for pick 47 and 49


I reckon Howe can turn into a good midfielder.

So do I...

The Bombers receive pick No.62 along with Giles and send pick No.53 to GWS.

Even more of a steal.

They've slid back 9 spots from 53 to 62 and are getting a mature ruckman that I personally think is a better player than Jamar and Spencer.

I just can't understand the Spencer project.

So do I...

Didn't we say that at the end of last year?

If we want Lever we need to get 4 plus a v good player from GWS for our 3 (+/- steak knives) otherwise Coll will probably take Lever with 5.

We could probably swap 3 for 4 if they throw in Frost, but pretty pointless.

At least it frees up pick 2 in the PSD for us though. Actually works against GWS to do that though, so they're probably happy to let Frost slide.

Hmm disappointed.

Picturing Mahoney sitting in the corner saying, "Hello... anybody? Pick 3 and 23 up for grabs... anybody?"

Exactly how can you be proven right or wrong on this ?

Why would GWS give up a very good player for a one pick upgrade when the guy they want will be gone at pick 1?

They also need talls to replace Boyd. They can get the best two if they deal. One is a Boyd type and the other a strong KPF.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
