Overrated players we must not entertain during trade week

Luke Breust - Fair dinkum, he never holds his feet in a contest. Throws his head back constantly. In an average side, this guy would be shown up big time. A+ grade set shot, but that is it. Has thrived on getting the 3rd or 4th best defender for years; and also thrived on quick perfect delivery.

Mitch Duncan - I hope we don't get him for Clark. Might as well let Clark go in the draft.

    Mitch Duncan would be completely off limits by the cats. He would be close to our best player if he did come across. I would take him in a heart beat.

    Hopefully we get something better than a Taylor Hunt who is apparently out of favor down there.

    Also no interest in their injury prone ruckman Simpson/Vardy either.

    Preferred trade would be with Collingwood. In my mind if we are to lose clark, why not fill a running half back role which is required with Lamumba.

    Now that it seems that Jaksch, O'Rourke are both heading home and likely to command first round picks. Maybe we can work come magic with GWS to send Petracca to them and have one of their mids come too us with a shuffle of picks.

    Mitch Duncan - I hope dream of us don't getting him for Clark. Might as well let Clark go in the draft. Would be a massive coup.

    Troll

    I heard Dafuq had an ok season playing for the Gympie B's. Not sure his fitness is up to AFL standard though.

    Troll, well I'm shocked to see him disparaged like this. Somehow seems to get to every contest, has an immediate impact and draws multiple taggers. Might not be the prettiest player to watch, but he gets a job done.

    Now what on earth inspired you to resurrect a 'two-year-old' thread for that advice?

    G'day Rono.

    Your thoughts on our list, if you will?

    How many Hawthorn premierships has Breust played in? How many goals has he kicked? I think MFC would love to have him.

    Who do you think we should avoid this year TGR?  

    I'm expecting the Tigers, Pies and Dockers to be looking to off-load a few.

    Suban & Rohan. Any overrated, overpaid former premiership player. The dregs from Essendon's list.

    Duncan, Bruest and Caddy will not be on the trade table so i don't understand the thread.

    I didn't think we should have chased Melksham last year.

    It was started two years ago.

    GWS players, especially ones who can't break into the regular 22, that's where it's at.

    We have a good trade relationship with them too.

    Continue to build and improve our depth.

    Is that because you were just listening to Sen discussing Tyson and Bruce etc..?

    Who then?

    No I wasn't actually.

    I've said before, Tomlinson and Hoskin-Elliot would be two I would go after that we could get relatively cheaply.

    I'd rather Marchbank to go along with HE, than Tomlinson.

    Yeah like Marchbank too as far as trade targets go, just think Tomlinson is a better age for our current needs.

    I think GWS would set the bar pretty high for both those guys. Tomlinson as a tall in particular would cost at least a decent 2nd rounder and WHE might be the same. They both seem to have a little more currency in my mind than Bugg last year. 

    Trading next years 2nd rounder could be an option for us. I'd rather keep this years as it could fall at a nice spot where someone we rate highly gets through to it.

    Not sure Tomlinson would cost a second rounder, has played plenty of NEAFL this year. I was more thinking something like a future second rounder and maybe Garland for both Tomlinson and Hoskin-Elliot. Not sure how the points system works this year, but Mahoney might be able to wrangle another deal where we swap some picks to help GWS out fit in what they need to do as part of a deal.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
