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.

    Nah, somebody in the crowd asked Mottlop how many defensive efforts he had made in the game

     

    Zing!

    Apparently the latest rumor is O'meara and Mitchell is compensation for taking Vickery!

    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.

    Fyffe is one FA next year.

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    Melbourne's list is about to be analysed on Trade Radio.

    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?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
