Starting a thread to discuss what people are wanting (realistically) from trade week. Be interested to see who you fellow 'landers think we may be targeting and have a good chance of getting. Also detail what we will have to give up to get the target.

Created a poll to see what we come to..

My go at it:

1. Hibberd for our 2nd Rounder (done on day 1)

2. Vardy for 4th Rounder

3. Scott Thompson as a DFA (1 year deal with assistant coaching role)

4. Eric MacKenzie as a FA (3 year deal)

Hibberd will be a good get.

Of the veterans, in order, I would prefer:

1.    Harvey

2.    Barlow (if we get him cheaply enough in terms of draft pick) – He doesn’t fit our need for speed, but he is only 28.

3.    Dal Santo

4.    Thompson

While I think outside run is our greatest need, I wouldn’t go for Wells as he is too injury prone.

MacKenzie is a caravan defender who hasn’t been able play in the Eagles new defensive system. I don’t think he suits our needs given we are playing a zone defence also.

Current 2nd rounder for Hibberd

Future 1st rounder and Garland for Hoskin-Elliot, Tomlinson (hasn't signed yet) and GWS pick 17 this year

On-trade pick 17 to Port for Hartlett

ANB and pick 45 to Adelaide for Lyons and pick 50

Matt Jones and future 2nd rounder to Gold Coast for pick 22

I think Mackenzie,

experienced key defender who has been an all australian centre half back in the last couple of years, we really lack for experience all over the ground but especially there, would take pressure off Tommy McDonald and i think he'd be a fantastic get for the club.

I am not as keen on the older mid like Dal Santo

if our 2017 first rounder could land Hartlett and Port cover some of the salary i'd be open to that as well

I'm not sure but I thought you could only trade one future pick per year?

Otherwise I like it except that the GWS deal seems like a bit of a steal.

I'd add in Scotty Thompson for experience and the team starts looking extremely good.

Not sure on that, you could be right, I only knew we had to use 2 first rounders in 4 years and we used 2 last year.

Upgrade from Pick 26 to 24 by sending Garland to Gold Coast

Trade Pick 24 to Essendon for Hibberd

Trade future 2nd Round Pick to Geelong for Vardy & the Cats 3rd Round Pick this year (51-54).  Think there'll be enough interest in Vardy to drive up his price in a trade.

Dal Santo as a delisted free agent.*

*I would have a crack at both Wells or Hartlett before Dal Santo, so not sure why neither are listed as I wouldn't have thought either are unrealistic options.

I think Hibberd for our second round pick is basically a fait-accompli.  As that ties up our second rounder and our first has already headed north, I'd love for us to target a free agent or two to balance out our young list, particularly if we're losing Grimes and possibly one of Dunn or Garland.

1) Brent Harvey (DFA); has the speed and goal-kicking nous that we lack.  Would cost nothing but a place on our list.

2) Tyrone Vickery (FA): Again, would only cost us some cap space and a place on the list.  Would be the only ruck forward on our list who is ready to play senior football and, despite very promising signs, Weid won't be ready for a full time gig for another year.

3) If Eric McKenzie was going cheap - 3rd rounder, I'd be very interested. 

 

When all's said and done, I'm not expecting us to be big players this year and the free agency pile is looking pretty thin for 2016.

So, basically pick 26 and Garland for Hibberd? Seems overs.

 

Don't disagree.  But sadly after watching Garland in the VFL this year, I think his currency is pretty low.

I think he has a little more value than an upgrade from 26 to 24 though (isn't our pick 27 btw?). I had him as part of a trade with GWS as Patfull might be close to the end.

Pick 26.  That draft order that has us at 27 is from July.

And your right GWS could also be interested.  I thought Gold Coast though as they need experience, and Garland could play the 3rd tall defender role allowing KK to move into a midfield role given the departures of Presta, O'Meara and an aging Ablett & Ritschitelli.

Ah cheers for the updated link!

Yeah GWS and GC will also look to spread out their picks to next year as well IMO, plus they have to reduce their list sizes don't they? On top of making room for some high picks this year. Mahoney has impressed me a lot the last couple of years, and one of the smartest things he's done is cultivate a really good trade relationship with GC and GWS. I expect some moves will be made with one or both of them.

Last trade period he was copping pages of outright abuse as no one understood what he was trying to do... until it all suddenly came together.

I agree, we've been very crafty the last few years.

2nd round pick for Hibberd

I would like to see Zac Clarke at Melbourne - we need ruck depth. Unsure of Freo's needs, so finding it difficult to suggest how to get it done.

I think that GWS will not want to deal with the Pies for a while, due to Gubby letting Treloar go there and then following him.

Will this leave us with no first or second round picks for next years trade period? 

Also I don't think Matt Jones has any trade value whatsoever.

Lyons played 19 games this year, why would Adelaide trade him for ANB and a pick only five selections better? Has Lyons asked for a trade?

We could possibly trade back in to the draft, but at some stage we need to back ourselves, stop getting younger and actually have a crack.

Jones has little trade value, although GC could do with a steady depth player, which is why he would get us a trade up from what would hopefully be about pick 26 to pick 22.

There's talk Lyons wants out, possibly back to Victoria (source) and I wouldn't be surprised to see ANB (ranked 5th best player in the VFL) wanting more opportunities back home in SA.

Also, just for reference, Matt Jones output this year is not far behind Lyons', so I don't think it's fair to say one is worth a lot and the other nothing.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
