FA & Trade Whispers

Featured Replies

So after an orgasmic evening reading DL last night - the hand brakes are on - no confirmation of Lewis, nor Hibberd -   Rockcliff to Hawthorn. Not sure I can wait the requisite 3 more days for all to be confirmed!

Be cautious with that handbrake  Dan!

Anyone interested in Kurt Tippett for a couple of seasons, on the proviso the Swans pay a chunk of his contract? He fills a glaring need for us as a proven ruck/forward

I think this is the sort of trade in we would chase if we thought we were right in the premiership window. We would want a pretty good deal to take him now.  We would probably look at more of a 'developer' if we see our premiership window is 3-5 years away.    It is a 'need', and if Sydney pay a hefty chunk of his salary, I wouldn't say no, but I think they will chase  a developer for this role.

I would if Sydney paid $200-300k of his supposed $800k salary.

So when did Rockcliff to Hawthorn happen? It's not on the AFL app.

These blokes watch too much NBA, max contract ppfffttt

 

Anyone else we could be targeting? No idea why we are not into Nankervis or Vardy for the backup ruck spot


I think trade week was brought in to satisfy digital sponsors and boost their revenue.

Who says we aren't?  Vardy seems keen elsewhere and Nankervis may be happy up north.  We have no idea if we've made enquiries or not.  I think this trade period should be proof enough that lots of things are going on behind the scenes that we know nothing about.

Don't quote that Twitter account, it is a clear troll.

I don't do twitter, but isn't trolling a core value of twitter?

Schadenfreude moment. No comp pick for the Pies, after Brown runs to the Saints.

I can't see a Tippett trade happening.  He has 2 more years at Sydney on ~$800k/year and he's 30 early next season.  A team would have to offer him 4 years at similar money to convince him to move.  That would be crazy.

Frost, brown and Marsh all traded out.

I guess the ever durable Ben Reid is going to play all key positions at the back then?

The pies are rooted and it is all their own doing.   whwhahahaha!

They have Keeffe (?) resuming from his St Kilda Festival suspension but yes, they look a bit light on in defence. How would Dunn look in black & white stripes ?

Wouldn't the fact that they have brought in mayne and wells as free agents completely obliterated any chance of getting compo for brown?

Yes, and an opportunity for Garland perhaps?

Imagine Howe's face lining up down back in round 1 next to Dunn and Garland. 

As it stands, Lewis and Hibberd are the only two players we are talking to.

We never spoke to Rockliff and Gawn isn't going anywhere.

Dodoro and Lewis are the only things holding up the Hibberd deal.

I have heard the Lewis deal will likely be finalised before the Hibberd deal.

It makes sense if one reads the play and what has been said today.

But don't say it too loudly...

Xavier Richards requesting a trade from the swans. I suppose we have little interest in him?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
