I wouldn't call Redden a big fish but he's certainly legal size and then some. All talk surrounding him has gone a little quiet over the past week. Redden, Melksham and Bugg would be a considerable improvement to our midfield stocks in a "quiet trade year".

    Our big fish is Dion Prestia at the end of 2016. Assuming we are still looking better than GC then.

    So there is no big fish for 2015, what a surprise.

    It's go a long way to run AF. How many of these trades are done within the last few days and hours?

    There's always the internet. ;)

    Bernie Vince?

    Two years ago. Last year, there was talk about a big fish all off season and then nothing.

    Yeah but I am pretty sure that what was rumoured at the time was true - that we had something big cooking but it all fell apart when Trengove failed that medical. Remeber we had a spare pick 3 also

    This time we have pick 6, Howe, Toumpas and god knows who else they might sacrifice for the greater good

    I am not writing off Roosy just yet

    Glad I'm off to London this week, because I couldn't be bothered sitting through another trade week without landing anyone decent.

    I've lived overseas for a long time, and can assure you that no matter where you are, having an internet connection makes it very difficult to hide from the disappointment.

    I'm just saying I'd prefer not to wait. I arrive back in the country after trade week is over, so less [censored]-teasing for me and just the real news at the end of it all.

    There will be no big fish this year I think, however next year Wingard is out of contract and if we could get him I'd lose my [censored]!

    He won't leave PA. From memory he made it clear that if he was drafted by a club outside SA that he would return home when his contract was up.

    Thanks for smashing my dreams.

    Chad Wingard at MFC= making Jaded happy for the rest of eternity

    Chances of this happening= 0%

    I notice O Wines contract end 2016, he also fits the profile of 21-24 and competitive. Imagine if we pulled him out from under PA's noses.

    Pipe dream I know but.......?

    Apologies if someone has brought this up already, but I am sure some one will disabuse me of this dream nonetheless. Have at it D'Landers! Have at it!

    Ha ha I have been waiting for some one to bring wines name into this.

    I do not think he would ever come to us.

    Perhaps as often happens in fishing...the big one....got away !! :rolleyes:

    I think it's time that the big fish is one or all of:

    Hogan

    Petracca

    Brayshaw

    Salem

    Surely? One of them? Please.

    Not going to lie; every time I read those names together, I get extremely excited.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
