What about our second rounder for Giles and Frost? Surely GWS interested in a trade that involves multiple players leaving lol

    We need to use a pick in the draft to upgrade Jetta to our senior list, as he was technically a rookie list player this year.

    Doh! Yes of course.

    Was thinking the same. We're clearly not prepared to give them much for Frost, but would be happy to part with our second rounder if they give us two players.

    It's not a bad idea. Giles would be a handy pick up for us, considering is on the precipice and Spencer is still yet to prove himself, although he did start the year well.

    Could just tell GWS they can have our second rounder for their second rounder and Frost, or else we'll take him for free in the PSD. They get a mildly better pick and don't lose him for nothing.

    Their second rounder is tied to that Steel bloke. Their other picks are 19 and 21 or soemthing i.e. before ours

    Out: Frawley, Clark, Byrnes, Clisby, Nicholson (Blease, Tapscott, Strauss, ?Evans)

    In: Garlett, Jetta, Lumumba, Frost, Stretch, 2, 3, 22 ?PSD

    Clark for Lumumba. Could we get something more added in to that trade?

    Not sure how we get Frost without downgrading the second round pick unless they have interest in one of our guys who are on the chop.

    2 low rated players shouldn't equal a second round pick.

    Plus how much better is Giles as a back up than Pedersen, Fitzpatrick or Gawn? Or as a primary ruck than Spencer? Or even Maxy King.

    Not enough to make a trade in my mind. Stick to guys we have who are (somewhat) competent in the position.

    Especially if we had plans of taking Peter Wright in the draft. Giles would be just dropping an extra tall back in to the VFL for not a lot of benefit.

    GWS got Tom Lamb through the PSD away from Sydney last year. Maybe it's time they lose a player through the PSD.

    I just wish Terlich wasn't re-signed as quickly as they did.

    Nothing against him, I just wish they left that option a little longer in case if something/ someone better came along.

    If not and they did eventuate in re-signing him later it may have given him a greater indication to pull his finger out and work harder over the pre-season by cleaning up his disposal (e.g target practice + more target practice to the point where friends got sick and tired of having a kick with him).

    Jed. Jed Lamb.

    Tom is in this year's draft.

    in - Frost, pick 40

    Out - pick 23.

    Thoughts?

    Pick 23 is worth a Bernie Vince type. I think that benchmark for Roos was set last year.

    I'd say we've left the ball in GWS' court to offer us a deal worth considering, otherwise we'll just get him for free in the PSD. Hence the delay.

    Of course. Well if we sneak Frost in through the PSD we can draft Tom Lamb with pick 23!

    Probably too much. That pick downgrade is worth another pick 30 on it's own.

    What we are looking at with Frost is pretty much another Tom McDonald from 2012/2013. Decent, but still could go either way. The both of them in the same team (and a team that features Jack Grimes as a rebounding flanker) is a recipe for disaster!

    Good efforts and 4's and 5's. But you need to go to another level to be a consistent defender.

    Agree...

    MFC: Frost and pick 40

    GWS: pick 23

    Ins ... Gartlett, Frost, Lamumba

    Draft... #2 #3 #41 (Stretch) #42, Jetta upgrade.

    Evans stays one more year

  • Quote

    Pick 3 for Frost and Shiel. They can then on-trade 3 to the doggies to get Griffin over the line. Everyone is happy.

    Shiel is untradeable, so the only way trades like that get over the line (according to all the bizarre player movements we've seen this week) is if we personally convince Shiel to nominate us and we offer pick 3 to get him.

    Instead of trading pick 23 for frost and 40, I'd probably look to trade pick 23 for a late 20's pick and that teams 3rd rounder

    Then we can on trade the 3rd round pick for Frost.

    I reckon a pick in the 40's is about Frost's value, and If we did this deal with for example Carlton (pick 23 for pick 28 and pick 46) we would end up in practice trading pick 23 for pick 28 and Frost, which I reckon is a decent result

    Everybody has a price, Shiel for Griffen, is Shiel likely to head back to Victoria at the end of 2015, but if he is untradeable that's fine Treloar in his place will be fine by me

    IIRC rookie upgrades are usually the last draft pick.

    Yes, but some clubs will be done after a few rounds and some will be taking rookies in the 90s.

  • Quote

    While Frost did play 14 of GWS'S first 15 games, he was left out of their side in 5 of the last 7 games, so I fail to see how they can then demand a pick as high as 23???

    I think Fitzpatrick is our best bet of getting Frost, even if it's through a three way trade where we send Fitz to Carlton for example as a cog in that Jaksch/Pick 7/19 trade and we got Frost out at the end of it?

    Makes sense.

    Or you try and get a pick from the Cats in the MC deal in addition to getting HL Then give it to GWS.

  • Quote

    If the Whiley/Jaksch deal goes through as it currently stands, surely that would make Frost worth pick 60+ at best. Lumumba's value is in the 30-40 range and he has greater currency than Frost.

    Whiley roughly equals Frost, and Whiley is merely the steak knives in the Jaksch deal.

    But, I would happily pay more to package a decent midfielder into the deal (or Giles for that matter).

    GWS def Sam Frost could join Melbourne in pre-season draft. Frost - to help cover Frawley - for nothing and pick 3 would be a big Dees win.





    Yes please.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
