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.

    Something you've heard, or something you're proposing?

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
