The age say 3rd round pick for Toumpas. That's even more depressing. The pick 29 was looking like decent value.

Why ?

Right now it doesn't matter how Toumpas got to the club. He's evaluated on his 3 years at the club. I'd like pick 29 too, but Port aren't going to pay much for a player who in all likelihood will play more at SANFL level next year than the AFL.

 

So in a perfect world, it sounds like from this trade period we might be looking at something like:

Howe & Pick 6 to Gold Coast

Picks 3 & 35 (received from Fremantle for Bennell) back to Melbourne

Pick 35 to Collingwood for Kennedy

Grimes & Pick 45 to Richmond

Pick 31 back to Melbourne

Pick 31 to GWS

Bugg back to Melbourne

Toumpas to Port

Pick 29 to Melbourne

Pick 29 to Essendon

Melksham to Melbourne

We get Melksham, Bugg, Kennedy, Pick 3 (Darcy Parish) & hold onto Pick 25 (James Parsons or one of the McKay boys) in exchange for:

Howe, Grimes, Toumpas, Pick 6 & 45

Would be brilliant!

Even more brilliant if we could somehow jag Lennon in the Grimes to Richmond bit.

You make a good point.

Although it could very well turn into another Poleac situation and he has a break out year with them.

One good thing about Jimmy is though I reckon he'll do what's also good for the club as well as himself. If we say we can get a better return with another club I reckon he'd be open to it.

Funny how many suggest a 3rd rounder for Bugg would suffice and are dismayed we'd only get similar for the Toump.. I know which I rate higher

There's a Mr Kerrigan on the blower for you AAC !! :rolleyes:

If 29 is then used to land Melksham, it seems like a no brainer to me.

Tell him he's dreamin.

defiantly think we should target another key forward in the trade period
 

I think , for mine, I temper all thoughts about the who and what we need and how we'll go about getting them with time.

We arent going to build Rome in one trade period , or one draft. Its a continuous work in progress.. In that light you need to prioritise what you want/need with what's available. Also what do we we have on board already that can fulfill a role if only for a year til next draft/trade.

If a fwd fell into our lap , all well and good but id be hunting down more parts for the engine room first. We can cobble together interims elsewhere, imho

Just saw that in the paper. I find it hard to believe we'd except that. Pick 49 is way unders considering what he showed in a few games this year.

If the filth will be getting Pick 24 for Freeman, I'm confident we'll demand no less then 29 for Toump.

i don't know why you guys take any notice of media speculation. it's all over the place. blind leading the blind

How rebellious of you.

Spot on - There is this lack of understanding with posters ( or not wanting to accept reality) linking the draft selection number and a players worth. What number a player goes in the draft only has relevance until the draft has finished. From then it is up to a player to establish his worth. Is Tom McDonald only worth pick 53 today ? ( Paddy Dangerfield certainly made mockery of his number 10 draft selection)

All I want for Xmas is a CHF

We have the best young CHF in the land.

Wonder if Adelaide would trade pick 9 and 11 for our pick 3

Very doubtful, considering we have pick 6!

Like it a lot.

With the knowledge that established stars of the game still don't want to come to our club, the next best thing would be for us to improve our draft position and if we could do a deal with Gold Coast that involves Howe and our pick 6 for their pick 3 and a later pick it'd be ideal.

Means we could land Parish (as you say), or Francis.

Hope it happens.

except I doubt pk 29 for Toumpas.. Much of AAC's idea could work...but some elements unlikely...or certainly not a given

why would we want to?

So we could take a Toumpas and leave a Talia and a Fyfe for someone else.

gotta have 3 first

So we could take a Toumpas and leave a Talia and a Fyfe for someone else.

Seeing as Fyfe and Talia were drafted with a pick later than Toumpas that idea is flawed.

I think I'd rather have pick 9 + 11 than 3. No guarantee with any of them.

Id rather just trade 3 for a fish

 

Lol anyone else bit over this trade period already?

Daz.....its only just begun !!! :roos:

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
