Trade Radio Discussion

[rpfc 28,779]

is that necessarily an argument not to do it however ? Just asking

The Roos way us to bring in players to fill specific roles. I would have thought we would go this way. Possibly Goody and Macca prefer to hone some sapling into that player. Just a thought.

Can we temp fill the assistant fwd role til a newbie develops ?

We're not going to perfect a side in 2015/2016

All that said id be surprised of we have a decent pick if it doesn't go to a 185 sized prototype style mid who a foity talent first...athlete 2nd

No, go for it if he is the best talent - just a statement of consistent fact - tall forwards invariably take a few years to be ready for AFL footy.

Just on trade radio,

Melbourne are in negotiation with Suns to guarantee a draft pick that will give us Darcy Parrish.

So our recruiting team are not sleeping?

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

So GC give us two pick upgrades coz we are so nice and polite?

Alright I forgot the bleeding obvious "Howe" does that make it better.

Why do we seem to be so red-hot for Parish? Anyone?

[Brayshaw Self 847]

Probably the only mid in the draft (apart from academy selections) that doesn't have any glaring weaknesses.

Inside/outside type with good skills and excellent vision.

[Demi Dee 578]

Maybe we're pushing up his value so another may drop

[old dee 23,872]

They think he is a poor player and dont want to spoil their record of picking poor players with early picks!

My wild guess is he is a good player.

just a guess of course.

What seemed a year ago. The Suns and Dee's were looking at trading Howe and pick 6, for Pick 3 and another pick.

Those numbers weren't quite stacking up for the Suns.

Now that the Pies are on the scene, they may have re thought the numbers, so they can get Howe.

They are talking to Dangerfield on Trade Radio at the moment.

Time to tune out.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

I reckon Hodge would say, that head needs whacking.

Patrick has spoken very well and I'm better for understanding him as a person for listening and tuning in.

For those of you who have or haven't travelled through Moggs Creek, it's a great spot despite no shops, milk bars or pubs. If you've travelled down the Great Ocean Rd, Moggs Creek is only a few kms past Aireys Inlet. In fact, if you blink you might well miss it if travelling down the coastline. Beautiful part of the world, particularly on a day like today with blueskies. Hard to believe a star of the AFL spent his childhood there. He and his extended family originate from Moggs Creek. I dare say the Dangerfield's would have a fair slice of Moggs Creeks population.

[rpfc 28,779]

Well, the 'bleeding obvious' has a trade veto and doesn't want to go to GC...

[bandicoot 1,395]

Seems more and more likely that toumpas will stay.

Doesn't seem like any club will offer anything in the top 30.

Any pick over 30 would be unders for jimmy imo.

That sounds almost as quaint a town and as wonderful a coastal community as Scarborough, WA. Home to the Hogan family dynasty

Yuk,,,,, just yuk

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Does he get a choice?

Surely Melbourne deserve silver than pocket full of marbles.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Zac smith to cats for picks 49 & 50.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Daniel Currie to Suns for pick 53

Well, if the team offering silver cannot get him to agree - we won't get silver.

He can veto any and all trades, as any player can.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Are we still a chance to land Dangerfield....?

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

No, go for it if he is the best talent - just a statement of consistent fact - tall forwards invariably take a few years to be ready for AFL footy.

Yeah but then at least in a few years Jesse will have a mate- what can we do now? There's no guarantee we can draft one in and our war chest might as well be filled with Monopoly money.

[Devil is in the Detail 883]

Still negotiating.
