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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?
