That is the exact reaction I had. Something doesn't feel right about it, but I can't put my finger on it yet.
 

Noooo Way!

Roos has said he doesn't want more than a few kids in the draft so why would he want another pick!! Give up an experienced player for another 'kid'. You would think we have enough trade power with 2 and 3 to get an experienced player.

Can't see any logic to it all!

Know doubt we have something in mind to use pick 12 with something else to get another trade done. If it was used as part of another pick to get someone like Shiel / Treloar, would you take it?

The ONLY thing that comes to mind is that we have something else cooking and we want another first round pick to get the ball rolling on that other deal. To me the deal as a whole doesn't serve any other purpose.
 

What? On the face of it this seems ludicrous. For pick 12 maybe, but this is a number 2 draft pick that we've put 5 years of development into and who undoubtedly has his best footy ahead of him.

I can only think that there's something else in play here. Either his foot injury is much worse than we think, or there's another player we're targeting that we need pick 12 for. According to the article it's not like he's requested the trade either.


WTF

There must be a player we REALLY want and need pick 12 to make the trade happen? Otherwise makes no sense

I'd say there is something brewing that requires two first rounders but we want to hold on to one as well.

Never would we do it.

Not Puzzles surely.

Worst trade ever. If we do this I'd be furious. A terrible terrible trade. I'm speechless


Surely there is more to the deal than what is being proposed.

Unless this is part of some elaborate and secretive three-way trade intended to snare Dangerfield, I call BS.

I hope BS.

Trengove NEEDS a pre-season. He NEEDS to be injury free. And he NEEDS to play under Roos for us to see him shine.

why would we throw in pick 23?

If they want him then its pick 12 for Trenners

Simple

Really don't like the look of this. Jack Trengrove showed us loyalty when he initially signed on for three years. Unless he wants to leave I think it would be good if we showed our players loyalty back


Jack needs a fair run at proving what he can do - without captaincy, without injury!! Please keep him Roosy!

Know doubt we have something in mind to use pick 12 with something else to get another trade done. If it was used as part of another pick to get someone like Shiel / Treloar, would you take it?

I would give P-2 & P-12 for Shiel & say Devon Smith, but I don't see the getting rid of Trenners as the way forward. I don't like this bit.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
