The Hidden Trade Target

as if he'd leave

EDIT: Also hinges on Sydney sorting out the COLA stuff

Who really knows these days? I don't think anything that happens in footy could surprise me. The right money/deal seems to be able to achieve anything.

 
 

It must be just me that doesn't rate Sloane as high as the rest, questionable disposal IMO.

Agree - but his attack on the ball is ferocious!

I agree re disposal, but I prefer him to Dangerfield as;

- Younger

- Not as much body issues

- Was a Dees supporter as a kid (not 100% on that)

- Just feel Roos might be able to polish up that disposal

Him and Viney tearing around - that I'd pay to see.


Coniglio & 4 for 3 & 12

So: Trengove, pick 3, pick 12

For: Coniglio, Brayshaw & pick 4.

this is better than P-2, Trenners, & P-23,,, for Danger.... < don't want Danger at this price..... A pick, & a player is OK.

So there seems to be a bit of a consensus around Coniglio being the main carrot in our hidden target thread..... How would people feel about potentially turning picks 2 & 3 into Coniglio, Frost, Brayshaw & Lever (at say pick 4/5/6 or 7 depending on the Griff/Dogs scenario)? Could possibly involve Trenners, Pick 23 & other GWS currency too.....

we need multiples of players, Not 'A' player

So I like yours better, than P-2, trenners, & P-23.
 

Deep throat tells me we are enquiring as to Sydney's Josh Kennedy.

this sounds good.

So ...

You don't need to be Einstein to realise that Roos and his crew have an ace up their sleeve in regarding to the recent discussion about trading Jack Trengove.

It is clear that they will be looking to on trade one or two of picks 12, 3, or 2 should this trade eventuate, given that Roos has said he doesn't want too many kids and is in need of midfield talent.

I believe they have someone already sorted. Yes, trading JT for a kid goes against what he has said in recent discussions.

So who is that player that they have targeted? Who is that Bernie Vince/Dom Tyson type import? I don't know but if I was a betting man I'd be putting money on the following:

1. D. Sheil (GWS) - trade ignited by GWS wanting to get back into the draft after losing picks for Griffen;

2. R. Sloane (AFC) - following heavy discussions with Adelaide over Danger, AFS may have offered Sloan instead knowing he is a risk to go next year as well;

3. T.Walker (AFC) - following heavy discussions with Adelaide over Danger, AFC may have offered Walker instead knowing he is a risk to go next year as well.

4. T. Mitchell (SFC) - Roos relationship.

5. Solid 2nd tier player from Port. Port may be looking for pick 12 to get Ryder.

If I was to pick one, its Sloane.

Thoughts? Anyone else on the horizon?

Cheers,

Craig

P.S First time poster, long time obsessor.

Just home...just read this... hole in one ...well done

others could learn


Are Sydney allowed to trade?

Are Sydney allowed to trade?

If they are only receiving picks in return

Are Sydney allowed to trade?

I did wonder as to where they now sit. We shall see.

Sydney can trade out players for pick/s but cant trade in any players till COLA is gone in 2016 or they reduce it early

( thats my understanding of it )


Next week is going to be full on.

Our list is going to look very different

It had to happen.

Drinks...

Join in the speculation at the 'Potential Trades' thread.

I need some help with GNF's riddles :ph34r:

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.

All good except the Trengove trade proposal was supposedly put forward by Richmond not by Melbourne. I can't see it as being a complicated trade scenario designed by Melbourne,

Ah but see what Mahoney said wasn't definitive. WE didn't propose the trade, but who's to say we didn't approach some clubs and say "hey, what would you give us for Jack Trengove". That's not a proposal, that's simply putting a player on the table

It's mere speculation BB - same as most other stuff at this time!

There's speculation....and there's.....hands on dreaming !! :rolleyes::huh:


I wouldn't usually do "hands on dreaming" over footy!

what...your'e making an exception ??

 

There's speculation....and there's.....hands on dreaming !! :rolleyes::huh:

Many on here never have their hand off it.

I don't. Refer to his good mate Tyson's deal last year. Both highly rated juniors, neither yet dominating, they really want Petracca, we are apparently into Brayshaw & Lever who can be taken a little lower. It would effectively be Petracca pick up grade for them, Lever pick downgrade for us & Trengove & Pick 23 (or Pick 12/10) for Coniglio & Frost. I reckon if that's the way it's headed it's another Roos win-win special.

Once again, where has this come from? Multiple posters are sprouting this.

The Giants surely aren't letting Treloar go anywhere. If they do they're insane.

They may not be able to stop him, mate. If he says he wants to come back to Victoria and the MFC can offer pick 2 or 3, I think they take it and run. It's the same leverage we have with Dangerfield. We're actually incredibly lucky with this new FA paradigm (that has encouraged players, young and old to request a new home at will) coming into play when we have all these picks. Roos and co have been ready for it though. It's sounding ominous to me...in a good way.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Brisbane

    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.
