The Hidden Trade Target

One thing is for certain -- anyone predicting that we'll take two (or three) first-round picks into the draft simply does not know how Paul Roos operates.

If negotiations for Dangerfield or GWS players fall through, expect something to shaken loose from the tree.

 

I think the hidden trade target is a GWS player.

A while ago I was informed by a reliable source they were targeting Cameron, I don't know how well that has gone.

I presume it's a deal of the pick 2 & 12 calibre for a Shiel/ Cameron or Treloar along with Frost.

Then pick 3 & 21 (or Toumpas) for Dangerfield.

Well that's my guess or something along those lines.

I believe we are entertaining a MAJOR bid for Dangerfield.... Somewhere in the area of close to $1m a year over possibly 5 or 6... Hence the thought about trading out JT to the Toigs....

The other thing that people need to take into account when mentioning the big Texan (although by all reports he is the heart and soul of Cow Land) is that he is BFF's with our man Bernie Vince!

The Goodwin and Bernie combination cannot and SHOULD not be underestimated when speaking of luring Cows to Demonland!

If Dangerfield wants to leave what exactly is it we are offering him that isn't worth him sticking out for the Crows for the year before getting to Geelong who now have so much salary cap room to offer him with Christensen leaving and Frawley not going there.

Doubt Tex would ever leave. Bernie will be back in Adelaide in 3 years time anyway.

GWS sounds more reasonable but Jaksch and JOR

No one wants to lose Trengove for just a draft upgrade. But at the same time I'm keen to give Jason Taylor and Roos' development a test. Drafting and developing is still our best shot at getting one of those magically draft periods that sets you up with 3 superstars and in 3 years time makes up a top 8 team without trying.

I'm hardly convinced 2, 3 and 12 gets us Franklin, Roughead and Lewis but now the draft is (somewhat) unhampered it might be our best shot.

It sounds all too right. Tyson last year and someone again this year from GWS who we all know love top 3 picks. I just think Treloar and Cameron may be pushing it.

What about 3 for and 12 for Daniel Rich and Lions first rounder, lions on trade 3&12 to pies for Beams?

Daniel Rich is wortth nowhere near that when fit, and he's coming off a knee reco so no thanks

So who from GWS do we relistically think we can get and want? Assuming we'd target a mid. I'll throw some names out there i think we can get:
Coniglio, Greene, Sheil, and Sumner.
Can't see any other midfielders we could get.

If we can convince them to come (long contract, big money, Roos and Melbourne) and tell GWS we can compensate them with a top pick, we could conceivably get any of the GWS blokes, Treloar included.

If we got Treloar I would die from happiness!

id jizz if it was sloane.

Favourite player outside of melb.

Love his workrate but IMO Treloar is just about ready to enter the elite bracket in the next 2 to 3 seasons, Shiel is also a gun. I believe Sloane has reached his ceiling

Gun, isn't he? I think Shiel would be next on my list, followed by Greene and then Coniglio.

Agreed. Treloar has the pace to take his game to Judd's level a couple of years ago. He's a natural ball winner too. He gets into the right places, makes good runs, uses the ball pretty well and can kick goals.

Gun, isn't he? I think Shiel would be next on my list, followed by Greene and then Coniglio.

Yeah so much so that I ask myself why would GWS let him go, even for overs. Has to be a go home factor with him unless we went all out and give picks 3 and 4 which IMO i think may be worth it for him.

I would trade Pick 3, 23 & Trengove to Adelaide for Sloane, Walker & Pick 31. Is that asking too much? They keep there Pick 10.

I don't want Dangerfield. He is a player I would rather play against than with...

I wanted the Dees to draft Sloane when we had a chance. We passed on him.

I can see the line of thinking here. I did just say somewhere else that he could well turn into the next Judd, but I'm not keen on giving up two top picks for anyone. Carlton didn't for Judd. I think we're gonna get two players we're really happy with this week. Wouldn't it be great if Treloar was one of them? ;)

This makes no sense to me, but each to their own.

3, 23 and Trengove for Sloan, Walker and 31 sounds like something Adelaide might really go for. You should ask them, let me know how it goes..

I believe it is Dangerfield. I received a call earlier today from a mate who is connected to the Club as a Player Sponsor and he has put his reputation on the line and declared that as soon as the Pick 12 comes in it will be Dangerfield for Picks 2 & 12.

Effectively, Picks 2, 12 & 23 plus Jack Trengove for Dangerfield.

As I've said, I'm not prepared to give up pick 2. They can have pick 3 and we take Brayshaw, I still reckon saints don't know who they'll take.

By the way, 2, 12, 23 & Trengove is ridiculous for one player and I don't believe a word of it.

From what I've heard, Danger is happy to stay at the crows.

not sure how i feel about that

It's not 2, 12, 23 and Trengove. It's either 2 and 12, or 2, 23 and Trengove.

How did we get pick 12 here?

I have felt this for some time.

It's going to be Coniglio plus an exchange.

It's not 2, 12, 23 and Trengove. It's either 2 and 12, or 2, 23 and Trengove.

Finally someone who can keep up!!

 

All this trade talk is making my brain saw.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
