They want his salary out of their cap, so that won't happen.

They don't need it out for a while yet whenever the date is will be the date they will settle.

Of course they could always persuade him to go elsewhere.

Where Essendrug is involved never expect a quick result.

an interesting snapshot of a pub discussion on how the Hawks can land all of Vickery, O'Meara and Mitchell:

Vickery is free (yet they are still likely to come out losers)

O'Meara would likely be next years first round and a player (not necessarily a Hawk, e.g. Dunn could to GC, hawks give 2nd round to Melb with a possible swap of 3rd rounds)

Mitchell would be two first rounds this year (Hill trade) and perhaps some late picks or swapping picks; so that the Swans can have the required points for academy selections. 

 

Note this is just speculation, without consideration of any hawthorn players being included; what it does show (with some tweaking) however that the trades can be done

why would we want him even if he was cheap

As I said, if he was cheap, which I would be looking at our 4th rounder, then I think he would be a good pick up, and would improve our list.  That said, if they wanted something higher than that, then he's not worth it.

Expect this to be done by Wednesday at the very latest.

Thankfully it's not us leaking good players to other clubs this year.

Another step up next season and we might just attract a couple of real good ones in 12 months.

Who are the OOCs and FAs next year worth having a crack at?

That's what I want to know.

I'm sure we're saving and have an idea of some potential targets right when we're in the sweet spot and opposition players can genuinely see we're a club on the rise.

As soon as we finish 5-8 on the ladder, we're in business for big names.

Need to keep our under 23 core together though.

Tom Mitchell requests trade.. nominates Hawks. FMD.

Looking forward to the many falcons he will deliver to Vickery next year.... Both by hand and foot!

My hatred for the Hawks has reached levels not seen since Chris Lewis and the West Coast days

Jealousy is a curse, I would love this to be the Dees.

Hard to see Hawthorn and Geelong ever dropping to the bottom half when they get to top up their lists with decent players year after year. 

They might have to trade for their targets, but once a player 'nominates' them, the gun is loaded and finger on the trigger.

Yes, he'd be a good pick-up to take over from their ageing champions.

Think OD meant he'd love the Dees to be hated in the same fashion as the Hawks - me too. Don't think Mitchell is a big loss in terms of a trade target. Won't thrive when S. Mitchell, Lewis and Hodge are gone and all the weight is on his shoulders. He has had Parker, Kennedy, Jack etc to work with at the Swans and will be exposed IMO.

Clearly the AFL have got it right on equalization, as can be seen once again, by where players want to go.

Geelong, Hawthorn, Adelaide, Collingwood are 4 of the leading destinations for players.

We need these struggling clubs to survive and AFL head office has got it right.

Agreed. With the Hawks not winning this years premiership, is there any word around on when they'll apply for a priority pick?

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
