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

And thus, the five-way deal for Beams going to Brisbane is dead.

...Prepare yourselves

The same afl offseason twitter account quoted channel 7 this evening as saying collingwood had accepted 5, 25 and some crisps for beams.

 

Any truth to the rumour getting around that Pendles wants out?

Well he was a Melbourne supporter *insert cliched groans*

 

Trading partner comes in black and white and is not a little bird. Didn't need to distinguish it as not being little. Could've just said bird. Almost definitely the swans.

Tom Mitchell seems to have dropped off the radar but yet to be locked in as far as I'm aware?

I've thought ever since Roosy joined us that he will eventually snare a big name from the Bloods. He'd still be close to a lot of players there! Buddy n Tippetts wages simply must squeeze someone outta there, someone whose wage we could pretty much double. Please let it be Luke Parker!

hope the Pies take pick 5 to the draft and pick an absolute dud


Well bloody hell, will people stop using 'AFL Offseason' this and that as sources! Surely you have all learnt by now?

They also reported on the news that the Beams to Brisbane deal is all but done. Something about finding a player to add to the trade that both are happy with.

I was only half listening because nobody cares about Collingwood.

FYI Jack Crisp is that player

very dry pants aloons

Surely Jack [censored] Crisp isn't the sticking point throughout this whole Beams saga. Surely

Hmm perhaps our likely trade partner likes to eat little birds though.

Cats come in black and white.

Swans also come in Black and White.

Craig Bird is big

Swans also come in Black and White.

Craig Bird is big

This guy is bigger.

Pendlebury is not a small bird, and he comes from black and white oh my god it's Pendlebury!!

A penguin called Pendlebury?

Had already thought about Jack Steven. Wow that would be a gutsy trade from the Saints.

But black and white but not a little bird - Swans or Cats!

Could the cats pull the trigger on Steven Johnson? Would we give up a 2nd round pick for him at 31?

Then the swans have a veritable hit list of players who would be the best on our list. I wouldn't be fussy!

I'm calling it now, GNF is full of it!!!! Built up a few cheap credits & is now cashing in on laughing at us all!!

However, since I'm here...... He said it's 2 players who will clearly be our best talents on our list as soon as they arrive, so better than what Jones was in 2014, it could only mean (and not all of these are CLEARLY better than Jones IMO - I love our captain):

Crows

- Sloane & Danger (Tex not better than Jones based on 2014 IMO but can be).

Magpies

- Pendles & Beams (some would argue Steele is getting up there as well, I don't).

Giants

- Nobody (none better than Jones although Trelore, Sheil, Cameron & other could be next year or after).

Swans

- Kennedy, Franklin, Parker, maybe Hannerberry (I really rate our Jonesy).

Power

- Boak & Grey (plenty of others potentially as good/better than Jones but not clearly better yet).

I'm just going by what clubs others have guessed, I got no idea what the cryptic msg really means.

So realistically which 2 can we land?

Beams is on the market for sure, none of the others are publicly but it's assumed the crows have their work cut out resigning all 3 on big contracts. There's rumors aplenty re Danger and Sydney have been eerily quite, even regarding getting screwed with the COLA changes. Maybe something surprising coming from there? However, I don't see how we get 2 players better than Jones' 2014 out of picks 2,3 & potentially Trenners/Pick23 or 12, unless there's also interest from one of these teams in a Watts or Grimes type (maybe relates to Anderson's tweet about more former high picks to go for trade?).

So, after that waste of 2 minutes as an excercise, at this stage I'm convinced GNF's claim is BS. Of course, if we end up with 2 superstars better than Jones was in 2014 next week I won't be complaining at all!!

Btw, Mitchell at swans would not walk into our team & clearly be our best player, not now (Jones) & probably never with Tyson & Hogan already here.

So realistically which 2 can we land?

I have no inside info but I'm going to guess

Danger and Hannebury


I have no inside info but I'm going to guess

Danger and Hannebury

worst midfield in the comp to one of the best midfield. Love it! Who do you tag? Tyson? Hannebury? Danger? Jones?

Edited by Moneider96

theres a lot of scenarios on the table.

one of which is 1 and Jack Steven for 2 and 3.

Hmmmm not sure if worth it.

 

Just noticed trade week ends 2pm Thursday

Boy oh boy wowee, get ready for 4 days of insanity

theres a lot of scenarios on the table.

one of which is 1 and Jack Steven for 2 and 3.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • 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.
