Overrated players we must not entertain during trade week

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

I will add Josh Caddy to these B-graders.

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

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.

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 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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
