We have taken several NQR players in the past, either because we wanted to freshen the list and prove players would come to us, or we simply misjudged their ability.

We should not be taking anyone for depth, other than perhaps a backup ruckman.

IMO we should be trading for established players who would be in our best 22, or players we believe can make it under our development regime.

 

Got it from Bigfooty:

Caro on 3AW said Hartlett has been officially told the club wants to trade him to clear salary cap room for Dixon.

The Crows and Melbourne are into him, This means they can only accept picks only.

 

That's a bit steep.

What about moving back 5 spots for Hartlett?


Im liking this. Hartlett would be a good pickup. Is he an adelaide lad though?

Can't believe Port would trade Hammer. He's a jet.

If we can pinch him I'd be ecstatic but the Crows will go hammer and tongs to secure him.

There is no way Hartlett would crossover to another Adelaide team.

I'd back us to be more of a chance then the Crows.

Why? It would mean he doesn't have to pack up his life and move interstate. The hatred between Crows and Port is a childish media beat up. Various players/coaches have made the switch.

 

Yes please on Hartlett.

And there is no way we are going after Melksham for "depth". We have depth players already, problem is they are 10-20th best players on our list rather than 20-30th. Roos and co will want Melksham playing 22 games a year.


According to a Port supporter on BF, he has only just moved into his new house.

Id take this with several grains of salt.

I wonder if to get rid of the salary cap pressures the power would be willing to entertain young master Wines moving to the Dees in exchange for a couple of good picks, maybe picks 5 and 23 for Wines and a later pick

There would be something to this...in as much as Adelaide as a footy town is VERY parochial. Id be surprised also if he would /could change allegiances there.

He'd be 'safer' leaving town.

There's actually a pretty solid history of players, coaching and administrative staff switching btw the crows and the power.

Hammer would be our best mid. Seeing as we are apparently not in the race for Bennell this becomes my next Get. It. DONE.

Port would be over a barrel in a trade needing to create the cap space. That means they shouldn't get true value re: draft picks. The value to them is the cap space. They cannot say "No thanks", they must trade if they want Dixon.

However, Adelaide would be far more attractive to Hartlett as he wouldn't need to move, plus Adelaide should be fine on cap space to accomodate assuming they lose Dangerfield.

Where Melbourne would have the advantage is to offer Hartlett a better deal than Adelaide can or want to. More years, more cash.

In effect, I don't think this will come down to giving Port a great deal on draft picks, it will more be about convincing Hartlett he wants to be at Melbourne, and then the rest will happen even if it looks like Port get ripped at face value. Melboune's second round could well be enough given the scenario.

Hartlett's brother's career was destroyed by soft tissue leg injuries, and if memory serves Hamish also had some issues a few years back. There is a reason Port have decided he is the one to go as they would have multiple options to clear cap space, medical due diligence would be key.


Imagine we didn't have the currency because of the Jake [censored] Milkman bs. Would just about be enough to tip me over the edge..

Mate I have spent time living in Adelaide.

The rival is one of the most fierce I have seen. Between players and supporters.

Make. It. Happen. Is all class and a good balance of inside and out.. At 25 is coming into his peak.

I look forward to the numerous trade scenarios stating Hartlett for M Jones, Grimes and Terlich is fair.

Hartlett for M Jones, Grimes, Terlich, the complete box-set of Friends on DVD and a years subscription to Better Homes magazine.. Get it done

Currently in bali and by chance met up with Ollie and a few other port lads. Really nice guy, very humble young lad. Meeting up with him again tomorrow as well as a few melbourne boys, lll see if he is keen to move back to Melbourne any time soon ;)


As for my latest danger field news, have still got nothing. He is keeping it very close to his chest and I would say by the time I get back from Asia, he will already have announced his decision.

If Hartlett story is true, I would imagine Port would prefer he goes to another club than Crows.

Ok, given some of the news today i'm going to give my best Prendergast impersonation, but much more optimistic this time!

Currently 6 senior list spots vacant.

Promote Vandenberg, Harmes, White

Delist but re-rookie M. Jones & Terlich

Trade Toumpas, Pick 6 & Pick 43 to Port for Harlett, Pick 29 & Pick 65.

Trade Howe to Gold Coast for Gorringe & Pick 19.

Trade Grimes & Pick 19 to Hawthorn for (what i suspect will be) Pick 16.

Trade Pick 29 to Essendon for Melksham.

Pick up Dangerfield as a free agent. 9mill over 6 years.

Delisted free agents: Cameron Giles & Daniel Markworth.

National Draft Pick 16: Mitchell Hibberd

Pick 25: Kurt Mutimer

Rookie Draft: Jack Watson

Angry after all that comes to fruition, in which year do we then win the flag?

I'll go for 2018 EH. Allow for finals run next year and near miss the following. Also gives us tome to find that forward who pinch hits in the ruck to support Hogan.

  • 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.
