Then pick 3 to GWS and a bucket full of dosh to Treloar. Money talks.

Thus this trade/draft period we might come out with Treloar, Ben Kennedy, Milkshake (for 2nd round pick), late second rounder for Toumpas, possibly a second rounder if Watts is traded. Use two second rounders and a third rounder in draft. If believed good enough, Jake Lovett as F/S late pick or rookie.

    Or even better, we use Pick 3 on Darcy Parish just to 5hit Essendon off!

    How convenient that Collingwood would reject whatever we're offering for Kennedy thus far. Standard negotiating tactic of theirs so that once Howe nominates them, they can instantly suggest a straight swap.

    Still hope we can get Kennedy. Maybe our 3rd round pick 45 is a little low, but if the rumor about us picking up Fremantle's 2nd round pick 35 as part of a Howe deal to Gold Coast are true, then surely that should be enough for Kennedy.

    they can suggest all they wish. I have a few suggestions for them as it happens !!

    Collingwood acquaintance says that they view Kennedy like we view Toumpas.

    So people are saying Howe & 6 for 3 & 35 (the Bennell pick)

    Can we please have 3 and Bennell instead?

    With Elliott, Broomhead and Fasolo as small forwards and then Adams, Sidebottom, De Goey and Varcoe as rotating mid/forwards, I think it's pretty obvious as to why Kennedy has had such little opportunity.

    It's a good thing really, he's developed well and played some really consistent VFL footy this year. He had a really good run of games in the VFL in which he was averaging around the 30 possession mark and we know he uses the ball really well and is dangerous around goals. Pretty good signs from a small forward if you ask me. To have someone who can find the ball and be damaging with it is something we haven't seen much of at the Dees.

    He's another smart target by our recruiting team.

    I see Kent as being more of a traditional high forward flanker with his hard running and penetrating kick.

    Kennedy, JKH and Garlett as stay at home small forwards with the ability to have stints in the middle.

    The rumour is that GC will give us pick 3 & steak knives(perhaps the Bennell pick) for Howe & pick 6. We then on trade the pick to Collonwood for Kennedy or the like hypothetically.

    Thanks for clarifying

    Correct me if wrong but Kennedy is just steak knives at best ??

    Not a priority for rmine then...Must be others around with better trade scenarios

    I bought a steam cleaner from one of those buy now and get these steak knives ads and the steam cleaner is shyt (never used) and the steak knives still get used (also shyt)

    I hope that clarifies things.

    Difficult when Bennell nominates Fremantle as the team he wants to go to.

    If Collingwood won't accept a third round pick for Kennedy, then we move on. There are plenty more (small) fish in the sea, so we don't need to bend over backwards for clubs who routinely overvalue their players. Kennedy's career averages are 11 possessions, half a goal and under 2 tackles a game - pretty similar to JKH really. Hardly someone we should be getting giddy over.

    Or we should offer them Toump.

    As Mahoney said on Monday, Toump isn't set on returning to SA. Just another club should help give him the fresh air he needs.

    I think Collingwood will accept a 3rd round towards the end of the trade period.

    He isnt a small forward.

    He plays midfield at Vfl level and Buckley plays him as a small forward by Buckley when promoted to AFL level. This is why he is stagnating.

    Just because he is small doesnt mean he is a small forward.

    Collingwood have come out and said they are not interested in the Port boys. If we want Kennedy we need to come at them with a good deal. They know Freeman and Seedsman are gone but havent lost hope in keeping Kennedy. Ball is in our court.

    A packet of crisps and a Gold Lame Jacket would be my starting point !!

    Play their game right back at them.

    Collingwood are very obviously angling for Howe-Kennedy. If they go that direction we should be hitting them up for Kennedy + a first round pick for Howe + third or thereabouts. The fact is that Howe is worth a hell of a lot more than Kennedy so we might as well aim high with him. It gives us a lot of room to work and give some concessions and still get good value.

    Too true.

    Stuff them - if they play hardball, stuff them again.

      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?

      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?
