Dion prestia is gettable. Seriously considered our offer last time, we are much better now and the suns culture seems to be struggling.

Under contract. Even if he does want out (and GC will fight damn hard to keep him) the asking price would be very high. Treloar still obtainable time to up the offer.

    Treloar would still need to be traded, even if he isn't under contract.

    Treloar and Shiel were never realistic targets in my opinion.

    Prestia & Coniglio would be mine, albeit still unrealistic.

    As an observation we seem to be , as a group, still with some focus of getting that "glamour star" , you know, the one that will fix everything !! File under "saviour complex"

    Whilst not adverse to such if one should happen to fall our way Id be looking for very solid B graders with some potential. OUr midfield really hasnt much depth. It will get better over time as our own fold develop but the injection of some simply decent footballers who can play a role will provide amazing dividends. Think in terms of Cross. Hes a very steady and solid contributor. Not saying find that age bracket necessarily but we need good honest decent footballers.. We need mids.Capable ones, dont need to be shiny star like . Theres far more pawns on a board than knights or bishops !!

    So if we lower our sights just a tad, who can we get.Thats where Id be looking

    I can see us offload maybe 1 under contract player ( Evans Last Year ) but even though I don't rate either I think of M.Jones / Terlich will stay.

    Grimes IMO will be jettisoned

    Am inclined to agree in the main. Anyone is tradable supposedly . Watts might be if the offer is right. Cant see the club shopping him, but might filed offers.....why wouldnt you.

    M Jones...times up me thinks. Bail, been serviceable but we need better. Jordie. Not enough strings to bow for us, might fill a specific role elsewhere...might happen.

    Jamar...might retire to the west of Sin city :rolleyes:

    Spencer..hmm..if Russian goes, he might be required as back up lest we trade in someone. Terlich...is alas Terlich :unsure: .....next

    Grimes. hmm. .An interesting one...Would keep ( for now ) but field offers .

    Fitzy...id shop around. Michie id field offers Riley..Field offers

    Howe...is probably gone....play hard ball (as best as can )

    Cross id like to keep if hes up to it.

    Trenners..(insert any of a dozen opinions ) reality is he has much to prove to remain on list...just saying

    Hunt....is he relevant ? Might make way for others if needed..or not.

    Pretty much agree.

    Grimes, Terlich and Spencer are contracted till 2017.

    Grimes has probably done enough to stay as depth.

    He may request a trade to play more seniors. Tigers, Ess, Bulldogs might be interested.

    Spencer has trade currency as a few clubs looking for ruckman eg Ess and Bulldogs

    Howe may opt to go.

    Garland may be gone as UFA.

    Would add Dawes for a trade (admit to my bias here).

    Riley (and maybe Mitchie) is OOC this year so they are vulnerable.

    That is 10-12 changes before any serious trading.

    We have Petracca and Trengove to come in next year and are still developing Stretch and ANB, I would be focussing on our KPPs particularly our backline. Would love to recruit a dogged shut down defender to team up with McDonald, I have lost faith in Dunn and Garland. Ideally I'd like to offer Dunn up for trade, I recon Garland will leave under FA- I'd have Frost as the perfect replacement for him

    I think Roos knows who has and hasn't got trade value, hence why he is keeping certain players in the seniors, and others at Casey. He's also talking up specific players, which I'm in no doubt is a bid to lift their value again.

    My opinion...

    Players Roos believes have trade value;

    Watts - Roos saying he has the smartest footy IQ on the team, and that we are a better team when he is in. Really? He's either saying that for Jack's confidence, or he's showing the footy world that Jack would be a valuable pick up for the right team.

    Howe - Played forward and back, showing how versatile he is. Now he's up forward again and kicking some goals. Probably the highest trade value of any "unsafe" players in my view.

    Players on the borderline (ie need games in the second part of the season to determine where they are at);

    Grimes

    M Jones

    Bail

    Fitzpatrick

    Players Roos believes have no trade value;

    Terlich

    McKenzie

    Hunt

    I don't see any players outside of the above that will be offered for a trade or delisted. If they want to be moved on, it will cost the receiving club.

    I would trade out Spencer for Warnock. I believe Robbie has some talent but has been handled terribly by Carlton.

    Strongly disagree. Midfield, midfield, midfield is the focus for mine.

    Yep. We need to focus on this area. We still lack 6 or 7 AFL grade midfielders that can rotate through there. A lot of work to be done. Developing from within is also obviously important to bridging this issue.

    We'll never develop the young guys properly if they don't have some mature quality around them. We need a genuine A grader, another Vince type, and another vandenBerg/Newton type IMO.

    Agreed. The difficulty is having the currency to bring a genuine A grader in. Who do you think we should be looking at there?

    So what do we offer?

    I had my fingers crossed for Shiel... dammit. I feel like something is in the works but it might not be someone any of us thought of. Think Vince & Tyson but better. I could list off players I would like (Sloane, Danger, and on and on) but I don't see it being someone obvious, possibly someone still contracted even. I also think we'll pluck someone not getting an opportunity at GWS, GC, or even Sydney.

    I don't mean that type of player, I mean that type of pick up. Ready to go but not getting the opportunity.

    Yeah, I can see this happening and agree with probably landing someone from GWS, GC or Sydney.

    I was of the belief Robbie's major problem is just getting on a park...any park

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
