It's said that Luke Lowden from Hawthorn is on his way to PA as a back-up ruckman who can play forward. Throw in that they're in the running for Ryder and they would have zero interest in Russian.

Jason Tutt was average at best yesterday. He is quick and has a pentrating kick but he makes horrible decisions with the footy and panicked with it the few times he had it yesterday.

I don't think we will get Dangerfield. Therefore...

Pick 3 to Sydney for Mitchell and their first round pick (approx. 18), and second round pick (approx. 36).

On-trade pick 18 and pick 36 to GWS for Greene and Frost.

We keep our 3rd round pick for Stretch. I just can't see anyone bidding on him prior to our 2nd rounder.

Edit - re Swans trade, maybe an agreement between a couple of old mates allowing Malceski to be delisted, thus coming to us as a delisted free agent.

No one wants bleeding Jamar! Can we try and leave him out of trade discussions!!

He is worth less than nothing.

he's worth depth.

Don't reckon we'll get Mitchell either.

To be honest, Ron, I have NFI if we will or won't get him, and have even less idea if we will try!

One thing I do believe though is that while Carlton are interested, and with Barry Prendergast being on their payroll, there is a far greater chance they will fcuk up any potential deal.

Sydney is going to lock in its first round pick for Isaac Henney (zone selection) so it won't be up for trade

Ah, equalization. Where the likely premiers get a top 5 draftee for the price of pick 18.

Yep. It's all wrong and we all know it. Worst of all, we all know the AFL don't care. The strength of the game in Sydney rates much higher than equalisation and the health of struggling Victorian clubs.

Imagine a competition where all 18 teams had an even spread of talent, and could win the premiership in any given year. Wouldn't that be something?

But no, we need Hawthorn in the grand final 3 years running and Sydney for the 2nd time in 3 years.

I don't begrudge Hawthorn for doing well as they have built a core of stars through clever drafting and trading (amazing to think they still have had a few high draft pick misses along the way) which has allowed them to have sustained success. Melbourne had this opportunity in recent years but Barry Prendergast and a lot of bad luck ruined this chance.

Sydney on the other hand have been very good at trading at drafting, however the COLA has given them an advantage over other clubs to attract and retain star players.

Makes sense, but only for the Saints. Trade in a key forward and draft a promising midfielder at #1, but what's in it for the Bulldogs apart from gaining a second or third rounder for Jones?

More likely the Saints trade 1 to Bulldogs for pick 6 + Liam Jones? Almost identical to our Tyson trade last year where both sides win handsomely. Saints get a promising forward in Jones and an early midfielder (maybe even Brayshaw), Bulldogs finally get a key forward in Wright or McCartin at the top of the draft, leaving Petracca at #2 for us.

It's not necessarily what the doggies want, but Jones is asking for more money than they want to give him.

we, the MFC ruined the chances, our Culture ruined our own chances to select the right people, to make important decisions for us. we have been the masters of our own deemise.

its the lack of leadership at our top, for 50 yrs, that has made the wrong choices all along the journey... and we are bound to continue this way until we wake Up.

we are our own Worst enemies. & the AFL gave up waiting for us to get things right, so they stepped in to fix it. they are being the surgeons of our resurrection.

Doggies should be happy to him walk off their list.

I would honestly rather have Cale Morton running around for us again then Toby Greene.

You jest, surely.

I would not be surprised if we did our main trading with the two clubs we dealt with last year, Adelaide and GWS. Both to my mind have talent that want to move and we have the motivation to trade in talent.

I also think the progress of Tyson, Vince and to a lesser extent Riley will also appeal to some "unrealized" young talent at a range of clubs that can see that being at the Dees under Roos and his team will give them development opportunities and playing opportunities that are not available to them at other clubs.

It will be an interesting month or so.

Early in the year, there was some talk about us going after Jeremy Cameron. Is this still in the pipeline, or have I missed something?

Lesser extent Riley...but he did recover from a broken leg. He will be much better for the run next year. It takes a while to regain confidence but I liked him in the back half of the year! It will be interesting complimented by 1000's of posts!
