Who do you want

Unsure if there is another thread on this but if so I will delete!
Who do you want that we have a genuine chance at getting and what would you give up in this years trade
Not even half way through the season but I am sure we can pick out needs in our team.
I am interested to know what everyone thinks.

Adam Tomlinson?
Will Hoskin-Elliott?
Dion Prestia?
Adam Saad?
David Swallow?
Brandon Matera?
Gary Rohan?
Matt De Boer?
Josh Jenkins ??
Andrew Gaff ?
Nathan Hrovat?
Jack Redpath?
George Horlin-Smith?
Matt Scharenberg?
These players I have mentioned are players who may be out of contract, want to come home, want more opportunity but could fill our needs or that we actually need.
I know there's plenty more gettable players out there so shoot away :)

I think Adam Saad would be a good get. Has great pace and skills which I think is something we still lack. Hasn't played a lot of AFL but has potential. 

 I think I heard on Talking Footy last night that he may want out. 

Gaff, Hurley, Saad, Prestia, Swallow, Jenkins. In that order. Just addressing our needs

 

Hurley!!!!

If we get hurley where just about set!

Tom Lynch smashed TMac early on the weekend and Riewoldt the week before, having an extra big defender with the aggression and competitiveness of Hurley is perfect. 

Then if Prestia requests a trade specifically to the dees, well ill just about explode...

I will go the obvious and say Prestia -  just because we know he supported MFC and has previously been linked.

Outside of that Adam Saad would be a good fit, he is explosive, I worry about his hamstrings. But we have to the end of the year to have a good look at him. He is certainly a very exciting football player. He is everything Lumumba tries to be, and more.


I didn't think Saad did too badly on Sunday despite our high score. I suspect that he would rather be playing for us rather than against us next time we meet.

I suspect we might be a destination club simply because a lot of midfielders don't want to be on the opposite team to Jack Viney

Keep playing like last week and players will be lining up for interviews

Play like Round 2 and we will attract no one....

Up to the FD and players....

Im pretty similar but id order it Jenkins, Hurley, Prestia, Swallow, Saad... Gaff? i wouldnt be upset but not sure he is worth too much time in. I might add Tomlinson if the other KP options fall through

I think Jenkins fills the ruck forward role we are begging for and Hurley is the second KPD we need but have some options (O Mac albeit a little young, Pedo goes back and is physical enough, frost if they stop being so damn stubborn, Garland if he gets back to his best)

of that lot, i'd go the following order:

 

Andrew Gaff ?
Adam Saad?
Dion Prestia?
Josh Jenkins ??
Nathan Hrovat?
Gary Rohan?
Adam Tomlinson?
Will Hoskin-Elliott?
David Swallow?
Brandon Matera?
Matt Scharenberg?
Jack Redpath?
George Horlin-Smith?
Matt De Boer?

 

but i'd have hurley and heppell above them all as we can get them to leave the bombers as free agents, and the bombers get compensated accordingly.

 

or not, as they shouldn't be - like paramatta eels, they shouldn't be entitled to hold onto any of the remaining peptide players unless the re-negotiate their contracts! they're effectively de-registered players this year; and that's what they should be.


Presita, Jenkins & then Mitch or Nathan Brown as a free agent until Omac bulks up. 

2017 Team

FB Jetta Brown Prince

HB Salem TMac Trenners

C Vince Jones Brayshaw

HF Watts Hogan BenKen

FF Garlett Jenkins Kent

R Gawn Viney Prestia

B Trac Tyson Oliver Bugg

 

And just imagine the depth lining up at casey keeping the 22 performing, the likes of Harmes, Ped, Vanders, ANB, stretch, weid, Hunt just to name a few. 

 

The main speed bump is how we Aquire Jenkins, personally I think our 2017 first rounder is already off the table with the Prestia deal, Brown would cost nothing but cap space and Jenkins is currently hot property so I don't really know what we can use to trade for him. 

 

Maybe getting ahead of my self here by its hard not to be excited by what's just around the corner and I have full faith the club will make all the right calls!! 

 

As nice as Saad would be on face value, he is becoming extraordinarily overrated.

Excellent player with ball in hand, absolutely abhorrent when it isn't.  Has no idea how to defend - Kent's goal on the weekend was a prime example.

Yes, he could improve and be a gun player for years to come, but at this stage I would prefer defenders who can actually defend.

Yes I guess that is true. powerful with the ball in his hands but doesn't do to much with out it. Doesn't seem to read to much into the player he'll be playing on considering watching the replay of Kent's goal he ran to the left side of his body instead of the right hip. Pretty simple stuff that can stop goals.

What do people view as Hurleys main strengths?

How does Gaff go in the big games?

Are his possessions damaging?

That is a finals bound team! I'd swap Harmes for Bugg,Wagner for Prince and if he continues improving Hunt might be in over Trenners but other than that it looks pretty damn good to me. Not to mention melksham who Goody is a big fan of.

Realistically we wont get 3 of all those new guys in but its fun to dream haha.

I think Kent's goal was underrated. Saad did defend poorly but Kent had a runner on the outside and Saad was trying to cover both the collect and the handball. Kent suckered him with some very nice footwork/angling of body.

Pretia & Hurley please.

All I really want is for Hogan to stay.  After all the [censored] that we've gone through in the past 10 years, we've found a champion forward.  I hope we can keep him.

Hurley Jenkins gaff for mine

need a big back to help tom play that floating role 

Jenkins to help out gawn and hogan 

gaff for outside run and ball use


Dion Prestia, Sam Day and Lachie Neale. Thank you.

Sam Day. 5 year deal on offer at $500,000  a year. He can play forward or back. 

He smashed Hogan ... a rock in defence.

Smashed Hogan?

I must have missed that bit.

You're kidding if you want Day, he is a dud.

  • 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.

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
