I'd take Giles over Leuey, he's more agile and hits the pack harder and less injury prone.

Not to mention will come at a lower cost. Not being able to break into a side and demanding a trade decreases his currency.. I could potentially see a fair package deal that could see us land both Frost and Giles.

Frost, Giles and Shiel for pick 3 and ~40 and Blease

Blease & Giles both aren't getting games at their respective clubs.. Therefore this should be seen as a straight swap. Personally I believe Shiel is worth pick 3 alone, however if GWS were to trade Shiel it would be in order to draft Petracca, and with us holding pick 2 and Saints pick 1 he won't fall to them.

Yeah im pretty convinced we wont be targeting the names everyone says we are. Tyson and Vince came from nowherr and I expect Roos has a similar strategy this year. North have quite a few quality players who arent getting a game.

Back on topic though, I wouldnt mind getting Giles and fazing out poor Russian

It will if we trade pick 2 instead of 3. I would be happy if we ended up with Sheil and Brayshaw!

Pick 3 and Toumpas for Dangerfield.

Tappy/Strauss to anyone for 4th rounder.

Pick 2, 20 & 4th rounder for Shiel, Giles and Frost.

Clark trade for Lamumba.

Robinson trade for Blease.

3rd rounder F/S for Stretch.

Gwilt, ROK and/or Clint Jones as DFA.

Seems like a good off season to me.

(will stop day dreaming now)

I don't want to predict what we should or shouldn't trade for Giles, but I certainly think that he is the type of person we need, Has showed he can play at the level, but struggles for opportunities with Sandilands and Clarke in front of him.

Huh? He's from GWS.

Don't mind your scenario generally with the exception of Toumpas. I feel that both Toumpas and Trengove [who many here want to trade] should be retained at least until the end of next year as i suspect that both will wnd up long term gun players for the MFC under Roos. Apart from GWS how many other Clubs have their members clambering to trade off thier No. 2 and No. 3 draft picks?

Shiel will be back in Vic next year one way or another. GWS have the ability to get something for him this season, as he has 1Yr of contract to go.

If the Saints use P-1 on Petracca or other, We have the ability to negotiate with Shiel & GWS, for Shiel & extras. IF the saints trade P-1 to GWS were up the ditch..

I'm very keen to get both Shiel & Jaksch into red & blue... as they are both definately coming back home to Vic in the next 12 months, P-3 + something, to get them both over the line.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
