Daw a possible target?

So we aren't looking for a forward/ ruck at the moment? It's not a hole in our impressive depth?

Yes we could be but Daw is not worth a 2nd round pick, nowhere near it.

...and if we were to trade it would be like for like, a player struggling for a game around mid 20's in age. Not a kid with plenty of development left in him...

    There are better options that our 'surplus' mids could attract... Like Ebola, typhoid or a left over parma from Parma Night at the Myrninong Pub.

    Majak would be a poor fit for our club, I would look else where because our depth in the middle will be seen like GWS soon. Too much top end talent will squeeze out fringe players that will leave to get game time elsewhere(Like how we got Tyson). Daw is in the Not Quite Right Bin for me. Pass.

    Is that Daw or Dawes for trade?

    How about Dawes for Daw?

    Looks like D'Land is getting in earlier and earlier on the obscure players to draft or trade this year

    it always amazes me how even the most mediocre player suddenly becomes a "superstar" come trade week

    As as for Daw himself I've always had a feeling he would eventually click and become a genuine player with some real X factor. Nothing suggests otherwise in his time ON the field anyway. Tall, lightning fast, developing forward/ruck that seems quite coachable. If Brown hadn't come on the way he had he would have 15 odd more games under his belt for sure. I'd love for this to happen for us.

    Acceptable trades IMHO;

     

    Straight second Rd pick

    Hunt (Lumumba to replace)

    Salem with a pick to go our way (purely as Melksham is to come in next year)

    Kent (small forwards are overflowing)

    ANB (he is too talented to fall behind Trenners once he returns)

     

    I'd love not to lose any players but that's not logical going forward and I've tried to be realistic in what it would cost to get him here. ANB, Kent and Hunt might need pick exchanges to come into play as well to get the balance right. Thoughts?

    [censored] me.

    You have to be joking! 

    Even North have realised he has limited upside even after 7 years in the system.

    You are convinced that a 25yr old 195cm veteran of 17 games will not make it? Based on what if I may ask?

    This can only be a joke, right?

    You say you wouldn't pay overs, but then offer up several scenarios that are all massive overs!

    Even if he were a DFA, he doesn't fit the no d*ck head policy of our club. Not a guy of good character.

     

    PASS.

    He can't string good quarters at AFL level together, let alone good games.

     

    He's an amazing looking athlete but he's not a good enough footballer.

    I suspect that you are right.

    Extraordinary post. You do realise that if we wanted him we could have taken him as a ROOKIE in the off-season with us having picks before North?

    I wouldn't even take him for free. He's useless.

    Trading him for Kent? Good grief man.

    A profoundly depressing thread as to what football has become. God almighty we have finally reason to enjoy our football and our team and to look forward to games to come and folks are talking about trades like a fish market. Perhaps follow real estate rather than the footy. Do you ever feel passionate about anything or is it just a marketplace and a trade?

    No, why don't you stop warging about and leave earlier?!

    Fn Starks.

     

    The only Stark I trust is Tony.

    Just sign the Accords, Steve...

     

    (That's a lot of pop culture right there...)

    Why don't we have a GoT thread on here?

    Or a GoT/Marvel mashup to keep rpfc happy.

    Before or after we signed up Spencer for another year is probably an important question.

    I'd have Majak as a back up if the club feels the need to have someone else alongside Spencer, possibly whilst Mitch King is injured. But I wouldn't be offering him more than a 1 year deal and wouldn't be that keen on a main list spot even if he's earnt it.

    As a cheap buy I don't mind him, but not as anything more.

    Worth it.

     

    I was on Steve's side, for what it's worth.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
