FA & Trade Whispers

Featured Replies

Just reported on SEN that Dunn to Collingwood will go through soon. No mention of picks involved.

Good pick up by Pies.

Anyone else going to be concerned if we go into next year without a backup for Gawn next year?

 

I've convinced myself that this is what our 2nd round pick this year is for...because I don't think we will go with only Spencer as the back up.

I guess we wait and see how things look at the end of the trade/draft period.

That actually makes a lot of sense.  Probably a better player than Nathan Brown.

The AFL has made one change to its bidding system that will come into immediate effect this year, with clubs no longer able to access 'hidden picks' during the draft.

It means clubs will only be able to enter the draft with the number of selections that matches the available primary list positions at that time.

Last year some clubs entered the draft with more picks than they had available spots on their list. The extra picks were purely held so they could pay for academy prospects that attracted early bids.

I remember reading somewhere that there will also be a one off exception this year to clubs that have traded in future picks at the end of 2015. Collingwood got a future 2nd round pick from St kilda so my understanding is that they could then use one extra pick for points. This will be closed fully next year. My understanding anyway.

I think we'll take that pick to the draft to add some more run and class and we'll find a back up in the delisted players/late round pick/rookie draft. 

We'll also pray that Mitch King's knee holds up and that he comes on pretty quickly, which he might. Seems a natural competitor.

Makes sense for them.

With Keefe coming off 2 years off he affords him time to get back up to speed and for the filth to find another young key back and get some miles into their legs at VFL level.

Happy for Dunn to get another gig.

I will miss Chin, he was one of my favourites.  Stuck with us when we were at our very lowest.

So what pick are we likely to get back? Or could they have a player in mind?

As I posted earlier.  I'm hoping for a three way involving Witts to GC and Pick 62.

Late pick is the rumour. 


Dunn will go alright at Collingwood. He is much more suited to 1v1 defending. Keen to see what we get back.

Darren Jolly #31 2001 rookie draft

Traded for pick #14 2004 Lynden Dunn

Will be nothing.  Just facilitating the trade

The Pies have the 2 picks ahead of the ones we just swapped for Lewis.

I'd like to swap the ones we got from Hawthorn back to Collingwood for the picks ahead of our original ones.

So we end up with Lewis for Dunn and two 1 pick upgrades. That might be a little ambitious but I think Dunn has enough currency for slight upgrades.

You would think so he is contracted and the pies need him more than we need to get rid of him. But i guess his time in VFL takes most of that power off us.

If we have 57 & 68 and they have 56 & 67, what about our 68 for their 56?

You guys have no faith in the magician Mahoney - don't be surprised if we get Pendlebury for Dunn + Pick 68

Turn off your hearing aid.

They have 47 and 65, both a spot ahead of our picks before we downgraded them for Lewis. I want 47 for 57 but that might be too much to ask for. I don't think it is for a key defender. Talls don't grow on trees.

Need to go to the draft with our second rounder after using our first on the Weid last year.

Trading our second away would risk missing any of the top end talent in this years draft altogether.

I reckon the Hibberd deal is only being held up by us persisting that next years second is the only deal we're interested in.

I reckon Watts actually outperforms in the ruck, goes OK in there IMO.

Watts goes ok as a fourth midfielder (a lot of his dashes through the centre of the ground were when he was playing ruck), but he doesn't have the body/ strength to match it with most ruckman and his body simply wouldn't be able to take it long term.

Barrett & Wallace discussing Richmond and the Prestia deal.

So they come out and offer him 700K or whatever a season without being willing to pay their pick 6.

They are a joke.

They want to pay pick 6, but want something back

Yep, so it makes them a joke.  How they haven't got this deal done already is beyond me.  It's pathetic.

Gold coast are rightly arguing that if you rate a guy as being worth 750 k for 5 years you see him as a genuine A grader so pick 6 outright is a fair price, Tigers are weak so they will blink and give up pick 6

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?
