Trade Talk on Radio

Saints, just stick to the rebuild and do it properly. Just about the only teams interested would be GWS and the Bulldogs for vastly different reasons.

They are due to do something foolish. It was a long time between drinks for them when the Scotty Watters fiasco hit but things are returning to script as we speak. A Jack Watts for the number one draft pick trade would fit the bill perfectly.

Amy combo of Shiel, Jaksch and O'Rourke might get it done. Whately seems to think it's a Monty theyre going for Petracca.

The PSD is now almost as dead as the priority pick. I don't think there will be many selections other than some late delistings that might be around.

Even then, they are effectively delisted FA.

It's only for a player holding out who is not yet eligible for FA.

Every draft pick is a potential Cale Morton or Lucas Cook.

• Josh Mahoney (Melbourne) and

• Dean Warren (Brisbane Lions)

2014 AFL Offseason @theafloffseason 1h

Damien Barrett has reported that Collingwood's Alex Fasolo has requested a trade out of the club, despite signing... http://fb.me/6Rmn0TyVO

Reckon we should go after him.

I was under the impression that once a contract is signed you can't leave over the following trading period. Maybe it can happen if the player wants it, but it seems strange to do so after signing an extension.

Someone here will know for sure but I've a feeling that that rule might have been ditched - stand corrected of course.

I can see a situation in the future where players will sign longer contracts and the clubs will want them to sign longer contracts ... so as to increase that players value in a future trade. We're not talking about C & D grade players but players who have currency.

It happens a lot in soccer where it's a "virtual" free market despite contracts being in place. Over time, a conclusion has been reached that a players value decreases if his contract is running out - the reverse applies if a player is tied up for 4 or 5 years.

Of course, our currency is draft picks and other tradeable players rather than transfer fees but in some ways, it amounts to the same thing. In a nutshell, in the future, a player signing a long(ish) term deal may not necessarily mean that that player is tied to a club like he might have been in the past.

Anyone who can put up with listening to Trade Radio has my utmost respect.

is it still Terry Wallace and Damian Barrett doing it?

Couldn't think of anything worse than to listen to those two muppets

Has Barrett apologized about Dom Tyson yet? Wait what a silly question, of course he hasn't

    GAMEDAY: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    It’s game day and the Demons face a massive test which may determine whether they have what it takes to play finals this season. The task has been made all the more difficult without their Premiership Captain Max Gawn.

    GIANT HEADACHE by Whispering Jack

    The crack in the captain’s ankle might be very small but the repercussions of the injury are enormous. The aftershock of the news that Max Gawn will sit on the sidelines for the next two or three weeks has provided Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin with a giant headache, not unlike the one he faced after the Kings Birthday when another Demon superstar Christian Petracca suffered his season-ending injury. That headache is magnified by the fact that Goodwin is facing a month of tough encounters a

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    PODCAST: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demonland Podcast will not be LIVE on this week. Binman will do his regular stats files segment and will preview the upcoming Essendon match but will not be taking any questions this week. I will post the show here once I receive Binman's stats files. You can also find it wherever you get your podcasts from. We will return in our regular format once I return after the Dockers match.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.
