Delistings/trades at end of the season

Northern Summer

Can't help but think of Garry Lyon's 'big call for 2015' when Classified returned this year.

Along the lines of one of the Sun's stars would become a Demon (he might have mumbled Prestia when pressed by Hutchy).

Lyon mentioned Prestia as the player that would leave, never mentioned Melbourne or any other club though

    He gets a lot of the ball but his impact on games is questionable. Doesn't kick goals and his disposal effectiveness is absolutely terrible

    You'd have to be insane to want to give up pick 5 or 6 for him

    Mate, you seriously have no idea. Our first pick for Prestia would be a massive win for us, and a great vote of confidence in the future of MFC.

    I think dion will be a demon in 2016.

    When he was injured hh he was averaging ariund 26 touches 5 tackles and number one in the comp for clearances, id happily hand over our first pick, especially given he is still so young

    I hope so Sir Paul. He has an excellent CV, and would be a fantastic addition to our midfield. If he is indeed contemplating a move south, the Dees would seem to be an obvious choice. Pick 5 would be fair and reasonable if we are satisfied that his knee will stand up.

    Far more confident in our list management these days. Happy to accept their decisions - if they want Prestia it will be for good reasons.

    The recruiting so far under the new regime has been impeccable.

    Recent pick 5's 2012 back

    2012 Jake Stringer

    2011 Mathew Buntine

    2010 Jared Polec

    2009 Ben Cunnington

    2008 Michael Hurley

    2007 Jarrad Grant

    I think I'd take Prestia. Small players can be effective, think Boomer Harvey.

    Not when they have to run with Nat Fyfe they will all struggle The The modern midfielder is 190 cm plus very strong and can run all day while busting tackles

    Too much sport, tonight we have Wimbledon, The Tour de France, State of Origin, The Ashes!

    How to watch it all? Not enough screens, not enough time. Life can be hell.

    The offer to Hannebery clearly shows we want a good player and a mid at that and are willing to pay for it.

    So Prestia would have to be sounded out, as would Motlop, as would Trelor, as would Gaff.

    We made a massive pitch for dion a couple of years back under neeld, he seriously considered it and his family were all for it but ultimately we were a mess off field, that's totally different now and the club are pushing hard to add a quality player to the list.

    Would be wrapt with Prestia but if O Mearas knee checks out good I'd prefer we target him he is lethal both ways, get both to us would probs be too bigger ask, would be super keen to look at a Carlilse/Henderson/ Dixon as another KPF to help out Hogan as Dawes and Pedersen are just good 3rd Talls

    Should perhaps use Richmond's doctor rather than our own, though.

    First pick for prestia.

    Second pick + Howe for zaharakis (because its essendon)

    This is what I want to see.

    As much as I'd love that, I can't see Essendon doing it that trade.

    Sorry Moonie, pick 5 for Jeremy Cameron and Josh Kelly. There is that better.

    This thread is full of hypothetical dreams, forgive me if I dream of tonight's viewing conundrums.

    Mind you pick 5 and Howe for Prestia & Dixon could be on. Dream on.

    assuming the ladder stays where it is, we have pick 4.

    trade ND4 to a middle of the table team ie. Geelong for both ND9 and ND27

    trade ND22 (845 points) and ND27 (703 points) to GWS for tomlinson and ND28

    use ND9 on a Ah Chee or Curnow / etc

    GWS get to use the extra points to offset selecting both Hopper and Kennedy (presumed early picks of ND5 (1751 points) and ND9 (1469 points) respectively) totalling 3220 points

    ND10 = 1375

    ND22 = 845

    ND27 = 703

    ND46 = 331

    total points = 3254

    Perfect example of why this new points system is bull S&*T.

    How is that? How would you reform the Academy player bidding system?

    How is that? How would you reform the Academy player bidding system?

    My solution.

    Each club younger than 20 years can have an academy, each club over twenty years old gets father son.

    Every five years each club can have a max of three picks from F/S or academy for free. They can use these all in one year or spread them out depending on the talent coming through. The five years is a rolling five years.

    If a club want more than the three picks then they can have one per year, which would be governed by the rules as they were, i.e they can't get them for their last pick and would need to pay close to market price for them.

    This sounds complex but is actually fairly simple and allows for forward planning by all clubs, and removes the disadvantages of having F/S coming through or academies.

    God I hope we don't go down the path of recruiting players based on physical dimensions. Hawthorn have never seen height as a priority with their mids. Prestia is a gun and is worth pick 5 plus Howe.

    How tall is Luke Dodge? 186cm. Fyfe is tall and strong and has all the moves that a smaller man has

    And that's a difficult typo, jumped right over Luke Fodge and Luke Godge

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
