Riiiiiight.... Trading peak age players for draft picks.. Have you even met our coach?

I answered SS's question which was how on earth do we turn just picks 3 and 23 in to TWO A grade players without touching pick 2. The deals that up the pick are only part to get to the end game.

And the only way to do it would be to secure one A grader with pick 3 then continually upgrade pick 23 using a series of valuable commodities to get to another top 5 or top 10 pick that can secure the second A grader.

Trading high first round pick players who have underachieved has been part of Sydney's trade workings for a long time - Pat Vespremi, Lewis Johnstone, Jed Lamb etc.

As I said in my original post I don't see it happening. I think more likely to get 2 A graders (which I still feel is incredibly unlikely) we trade 2, 3 and even 23 and we then figure out a way maybe using a player like Trengove in all of those swaps to get back to a first round pick.

This is the biggest week for the MFC since the 2000 GF. I have been muted so no names will be mentioned, but if all goes to plan we will end up with 2 A Graders plus pick 2. The 2 players would enter our list as the 2 best players on our list. Roos may need to settle for a less experienced likely A Grader (a Tyson like) but this is not plan A. Don't be surprised if at least 1 of the players gained has been unmentioned on DL or the media. We are the main player in a massive game of chess. Roos is already a legend, on Thursday evening he may have become a God. A Demon God no less.

I have a 7 y/o daughter, I've had to learn patience.

Wait till she's 16.

GWS trade Pick 4 & 19 to WB for Griffin & 26

Melbourne trade Pick 3 & 12 (Trengove) to GWS for Pick 7 (Carlton trade), Shiel

WB trade Pick 4 & 6 to STK for Pick 1

Melbourne trade Pick 7 & Toumpas to Adelaide for Sloane

I wonder if GNF has been busted putting out his info and they are making him torture us with these rumours as punishment.

We'll never know the full story, but I'd say he was completely on the mark with Clark.

No-one inside or outside the club knew that after getting back to full health Clark would turn around and do what he's done.

Some here didnt really believe he was sick at all!! Me included.

Apparently, Liberatore is Italian for black and white turkey

That is funny.

The notion that any club would allow information to be leaked onto a fan forum or that recruiting people would read what's put on here or take any notice of it is fanciful. At best, some people in the media might consult us on a quiet news day .

That doesn't stop people from making educated guesses based on secondary information and coming up with some interesting conclusions, even if they're probably lacking in accuracy. Late last week, I received information suggesting that the Sydney Swans had some salary cap "issues". Shorty thereafter came the news (official) that the AFL has prevented the Swans from trading players in because of the phasing out of the COLA. If you put two and two together then you might conclude that they might be anxious to offload a high priced player to enable compliance with the TPP regime and next thing you know, people are posting that we're after specific players from that very same club.

Sounds feasible but it's more likely a long shot and way off the mark.

Sorry to disillusion some of you but in this Bizarroworld of trade week, two and two doesn't necessarily add up to four.

Is that another clue?

Sounds awesome if true!

Still curious as to how we get that done, while still retaining pick #2 (or a slight downgrade on pick #2)

My F5 key is going to get a hammering this week!

Better bring my phone charger to work today...

We won't be keeping pick two if we somehow pulled off the greatest trade in the history of the cosmos. Danger and Treloar will cost both 2&3 plus lots more.

Anyone got any more detail on what was specifically said on SEN and who was saying it?

Bloody hell I don't have time for this today. Can everyone just hold trades until my boss goes overseas tomorrow?

Cheers.

Wowee that is too good to be true

So much for getting any work done today

In the words of the Paul McCartney: "let it [censored] be"

And hold all my calls, I'm working from home this week!

It was Jay Clark and he said something along the lines of 'there is still a bit of talk about Melbourne targeting players like Dangerfield, Shiel and Treloar'. Nothing concrete.

He mentioned that picks 2, 3 and 12 would give MFC the opportunity to put a wonderful package together for one of those players.

Andy Maher's final question was 'is there anything else coming from left field over the next few days?' and Clark's response was that he wouldn't be surprised to hear Toumpas and Watts' names come up.
