Delistings/trades at end of the season

Northern Summer

Would need two injuries in the mids to even get regular games at Sydney

imo Bird is ahead of him and he isn't getting played either

Could want to leave for more game time, but he would probably rather stay with his brother

Bird would be worth a look.Underrated player, only 26 (27 at the start of next year).

He won't consolidate a position in Sydney's midfield next year.

    An update on other club interest is some players mentioned by posters: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/fremantle-in-talks-for-gold-coast-forward-charlie-dixon-20150715-gid747.html

    Summary:

    Charlie Dixon suitors: Freo, Crows, Lions

    Leunberger suitors: Cats

    Suckling suitors: Lions (Suckling a FA and still uncontracted)

    Treloar suitors: Pies, Tigers, North (Pies tipped to get him)

    Also, earlier this week I heard that Carlisle is a lock to go from Bombers to Blues.

    So that is a few players off some 'wish lists'.

    As it looks likely that we get Dion, the midfield is still our priority.

    This will cost our first pick (at least) so it limits our ability to trade in, another high quality player eg a forward, forward/ruck..

    Hopefully, our recruiters can pull off a Vandenberg type find, or do a 2 for 1 trade (eg Toumpas and Howe for player X), or they have confidence in one of our developing players, to fill the positions we are poor in.

    From what i hear the question is not whether Dion will request a trade to Melbourne but what they will want for him. I velieve he has at least one family member who lurks here on occasion.

    With the top end of the draft being loaded with talls and their need to replace Dixon, I'll take a wild stab in the dark and say our first pick. - although they would also need to replace Dion and Bennell who will be moved on as well. We'd need to throw in some loose change as well. I wonder what Rocket's opinion of Dawes was when he was at the pies?

    Well if they are reading this, lets let them know we love Dion and think hes a gun and we want him at the Dees to join our rising midfield and team next season and beyond

    We will welcome him with open arms, and he will have the luxury of hitting a bloke called Jesse Hogan lace out the rest of his career. He will not have to do all the heave lifting as we have clearance guns in Jonesy, Viney, Vince, Tyson, Brayshaw and Vandenberg already here and a young bull named Petracca coming in 2016.

    Not to mention playing on the MCG every week is a little better than playing a Metricon stadium. We will also give him heaps of $$$

    Cheers Mr/Mrs/Ms Prestia!

    I would still like us to try leverage Aish, Dion or not. We can use Dawes/Howe to generate trade income.

    Pick 4 or 5 on it's own should be enough I'd say, maybe shuffle some later picks.

    I think we should be looking at our list needs. Aish is not that player.

    He is almost identical to Toumpas in style of play, height and weight.

    If we did get Prestias it would mean Bernice Vince could play his twilight years as an outide midfielder and hopefully could go on for a few more years playing great footy with less wear on his body

    Would also free up Angus to play a bit more outside and use his elite kicking skills in space

    Yeah... I dont think it will be that easy.

    If he wants to come to us, we still have the problem of him being contracted.

    Gold Coast will lose a few players already. Dont think they will let him walk.

  • Quote

    We own his rights until the end of the trade period. If a club wants him, they have to trade with us or take the chance that he'll be around when they pick in the National Draft or Preseason Draft. I hope we give him a 2 year deal; he's shown enough this year to warrant it, IMO.

    unless he's on the merry go round

    some deals will already have been discussed & agreed to, by all party's concerned.

    time will tell

    Posters wanting Howe to be traded don't understand the present AFL landscape. He is out of contract and will nominate a club and get there. We will then get unders in terms of any trade or he will manipulate the draft to get to his destination. Howe leaving is unlikely to be a win for us.

    clubs Interest in Howe, I imagine the list would read like

    1 Giants/Lions equally

    2 ................................

    3 Suns

    4

    5 Freo

    6 Blues/Crows

    7 Saints

    unwise for clubs to make master unaflable

    you don't like him when he's mad, especially when on record as trying to reinstate the integrity of the draft. howe is this so you may ask?

    Hopefully 6.

    What will the contracted Dawes wear?

    Surely, no-one else will trade for him?

    Lol, Dion is the clearance gun. Better than any of those blokes you mention. And I thought he was a B grader, HH? :P

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
