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

[What 18,810]

Ok I must be the only one that thinks Dalhouse trade is silly? Is a small 174cm small forward/midfielder really what we are desperately after that we have to drop from pick 3 to 6.

Dazzzle, he is 178 cm and he had 40 scoring shot this season which comfortably puts him ahead of anyone at the MFC

Averaged almost 22 touches too, hes not a forward hes a midfielder that hits the scoreboard which is what we are crying out for

Pick 3 for Dalhaus and 6 would be a steal, but i doubt wed be able to poll it off

[tappysquads 618]

Dalhaus is in his way to being a gun. I would be amazed if we could pull off 3 for dalhaus + 6.

He has a very similar game to Cyril, but can now go through the guts and collects more possessions than rioli, just lacks the explosiveness of rioli, but so does everyone

Would make a great duo with JkH

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

We don't even know if we have pick 3 yet. Me personally; i'm not getting my hopes up and planning pick 3 until i know it's ours.

Ok I must be the only one that thinks Dalhouse trade is silly? Is a small 174cm small forward/midfielder really what we are desperately after that we have to drop from pick 3 to 6. Good player but we are still crying out for more midfielders. Mitch Wallis would be my target. Impressive junior career like Dom Tyson who was overtaken by Jack Mcrea.

Tough inside 185cm midfielder with great disposal and strong leadership credentials. Like Tyson he would boost our midfield significantly.

Only 21 years old.

I agree, but with the family connection, I can't see them letting Wallis go.

[Machsy 2,858]

Griffen

That's who I'd go for too.

I've had a hunch since last week we might actually be targeting him.

If you recall, last year, all the talk was about Shiel, then about Bugg & Buntine.

Barely anyone spoke about Tyson seriously until it was almost done.

I think the dogs feel they have their future midfield in place, and Griffen won't be central to that.

They need to give up something valuable to ensure they get the KPF they NEED.

I think straight swap - Griffen for pick 2 or 3.

And there have been rumblings of the senior players unhappy with McCartney.

Why? He's ready to move them on? Giving their minutes to kids?

Maybe shipping out a highly valued teammate..?

And just this evening news comes out that the board has investigated & backed McCartney.

So you'd assume they're backing whatever he has planned.

But this is how rumours start...

And if we've already brought in Griffen with pick 3...

Who says we couldn't then entice Dangerfield with pick 2 & Toumpas..?

[SaberFang 7,151]

The board said they've backed McCartney?? [censored], watch your back Brendon!

Frawley by choosing an instant premiership rather than big money, ruining our compo?

Griffen is 28, no way we are giving pick 3 for him

[SaberFang 7,151]

If we get 6 back we will in a heartbeat. 3 pick downgrade easily worth it.

ok, gotcha

would be nice

[SaberFang 7,151]

And ironically with pick 3 out of the equation Brayshaw is more likely to be there at pick 5 depending on what happens with the Beams and GWS pick 1 trades. In all likelihood the new order could become:

Pick 1. GWS Petracca

Pick 2. Bulldogs McCartin or Wright

Pick 3. Saints McCartin or Wright

Pick 4. Brisbane or Collingwood ???

Pick 5. Melbourne Brayshaw

We'd need to sweeten our Lamumba trade as incentive for Colonwood to pass on Brayshaw.

[Tyson_Viney_Toumpas 269]

Would it be fair to say Griffen is already past his best?

I'd rather Dalhaus/Stringer + 6 for 3.

[Pennant St Dee 13,318]

I'm not sure on Griffen's body 28 with back issues, alarm bells for mine, Peter Gordon returns from holidays early next week, expect some movements then at the kennell

[dazzledavey36 55,454]

ok, gotcha

would be nice

I still reckon 28 with dodgy back and body slowing down isn't a good trade re Griffen

We still need to top up our midfield with up and coming talent and thats where Mitch Wallis comes in.

I didn't realise Griffen was 28, will be 29 next season.

What we really need is to pick up players in that 22 to 25 yo age group. The lost years...Blease, Strauss, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Clark (he cost us a good pick in that age group) etc.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

No way on griffin - yes way 110% if they choose to trade dalhaus

[s-t-i-n-g-a 439]

Mitch Wallis is completely underwhelming. Nothing like Tyson.

[Mousey 47]

Know he is small in stature but if i knew we were getting Brayshaw still i would seriously think about doing-

Nathan Hrovat and Pick 5/6 for Pick 3

[DemonOX 8,809]

Just said on sen prob get pick 33 for MC.

That's pretty crap imo.

Should any of us be surprised!

Pretty crap is an understatement!

[whatwhat say what 23,082]

And then it gets shipped to the filth for Lamumba.

[whatwhat say what 23,082]

Dalhaus and 5 for 2 would be a-okay by me.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

Very frustrating...when he's playing I rate him as one of the top 5 FFs in the game, AND he's got the ability to dominate in the ruck as well. I would not be at all surprised to see him become and All Australian at Geelong.

[dazzledavey36 55,454]

Typical..

Dayne Beams wants to go home to his sick father and Collingwood playing absolute hare ball and stiff refusing pick 4.

Mitch Clark leaves after all the investment, money, faith and medical we have put into him and we are just happy to accept pick 33

FFS grow some balls MFC!!
