The journo's chatting with Harford on SEN said they believe Toumpas will play his footy somewhere else next year. Not sure on what the were basing it on but, just made a passing comment.

It was also gob smacking how many of the top picks have moved clubs..

Also, I like how he said 17 other clubs would have picked Toumpas over Ollie Wines.

    17 other clubs might get their second chance :rolleyes:

    You'd think any pick under #30 would be a win from where he is currently.

    And highly unlikely I'd think.

    Melbourne duo Jeremy Howe and Jack Watts will not be at the club next year for very different reasons according to Brett Anderson.

    “I’d be surprised if either player was at the footy club next year,” said Anderson on SEN radio.

    “From what I’ve heard I would expect that Jeremy Howe would field an offer from somewhere else, with Gold Coast being the one most linked to him.

    “In terms of Jack Watts there is probably no clear destination as it stands.”

    OK, so if we could convince Prestia to come to us, and he was happy to play alongside Bennell, would anyone consider Howe, along with our first and second round pick, for Bennell, Prestia and their second rounder? Actually it would probably take us accepting their 3rd rounder instead... that would give us Prestia, Bennell and pick 44 ish (before compo picks and assuming he is adamant he will give us his best) for Howe, pick 6 ish and pick 24 ?

    I would be very tempted as it would give us an immediate and large talent boost, for Howe and 2 speculative picks.

    Thoughts?

    Tempting. As long as he is adamant he will give us his best.

    I thought you have me on "Ignore" bloke .... lol

    Gotta give something to get something. That is as close to a fair trade as i could come up with. We get a player who is recovering from a serious injury, along with a player with MASSIVE talent, but questionable application, and the Coasters get a marketable high flyer (who incidentally i rate as being above average if he applied himself) and 2 high picks to replace the losses they have recently suffered. We both take risks, but also stand to be rewarded if things come off. Win-Win if ever there was a trade with those properties i reckon.

    The fact that peeps would pause before saying YES or NO makes me believe that it is realistic.

    I'd be quite happy to trade Watts and Howe for pick 6, Prestia and Bennell. If we got a second rounder back, we'd be sitting pretty.

    I don't listen to SEN. Is Anderson known for having any genuine insights/inside information or does he just speculate and report his opinion as fact? He certainly wouldn't be alone. I get the feeling quite a few of them do it.

    I'm not interested in Bennell at all but in a weak draft would think about Howe and our first pick for Prestia. Not sure if the Suns would go for it.

    Did you mean Watts, Howe AND our pick 6, for Prestia and Bennell? ( +/_ second rounder) If so i could also be convinced, but i might even go as low as their 3rd rounder back as MFC at least know what we would be getting in that trade. And lets face it, unless pick 6 for them turns out to be a very good player, we would be in front easily.

    If Prestia requested a trade I think they'd jump at a top 10 pick. They wouldn't be happy about it, but it's better compensation than Adelaide'll probably get.

    Toumpas for Matt Crouch straight swap

    I'd take Brad. :P Think I'd prefer to back Toumpas for another year or two over Matt.

    Yeah, I meant AND.

    I'd argue there's a bit of risk in it from our end too. Prestia is coming off a knee injury and Bennell could well blow up in a year or two and go off the rails. I think it's a pretty fair trade and there's a chance Gold Coast go from their vice captain seeking a trade, to potentially winning the trade if pick 6 turns out to be a goodie.

    Yes, but thats what i said in my previous post. We would both be taking a risk, but the simple fact that people would need to scratch their chin before deciding yes or no says to me that its a fair trade.

    Nope, I wouldn't do that, that for me is Too aggressive trading. I see too many risks, for what we pay off in that deal..

    I would do Howe + our 3rd Rnd pick, for GCSuns pick 10...

    ..... then give them P-10 + our 2016 2nd Rnd pick, IF that would get us Prestia.

    IF not, I would just do the Howe part for P-10, then use that pick on a Weideman, from the national draft.

    Keeping our P-5/6 for the draft as well. hoping for Charlie Curnow.

    Brett Anderson is known for very little other than being a self-proclaimed draft expert.

    He doesn't have ANY runs on the board in regards to inside knowledge with trades as far as I know.

    Fwiw I've been told Watts will stay, mostly because we're unlikely to get better value by moving him on.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • 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?
