point taken    . Plan C it is.....make it so Dees

( all clubs were cleared by AFL to trade next seasons 1st Rounders...apparently.. Seems like on the fly revisionism to me...but hey that's Gil ) 

next year's first and a third would be about right..

 

Because of the Lever deal, we have nothing to trade with GC, unless the Hogan deal goes through. JM has said it and Freo are using it.

Also because JH probably will only go home, we are stymied in dealing with another club.

I wonder if we could get GC to approach him, with the help of the AFL to bump up any offer and make him one of the highest paid players in the game, on a long contract.

This could suit GC and the AFL. To replace their captains leaving, with the potential best young key forward in the game. The publicity alone would be great for them in rebuilding the club. 

I wonder if Jessie could be talked into the sun and sea being a surfer.

If this could be done, we would be able to do the May, KK deal and possibly get a top 3 pick from GC, with them getting something back.

Then we are looking at Rankine or Rozee.

How good a deal could that be?

I wonder who the other clubs that are nibbling are?

If JH and us could shaft Freo, by getting a better deal, it would be magnificent.

On the other hand, if the deal goes through with Fre and we get May and KK, I don't see it being what many of us hoped for.

I can't see realistically how we can do the May deal alone and that is a pity.

Maybe the dees need to trade out a hunt, stretch or anb along with next years first to get the deal done

 

Word of May touring the Dogs facilities. This could actually force Freo's hand as they will know our incentive to trade Hogan this year would disappear if May was off the table.

No way am I happy with trading out ANB. The guy is a bloody good player. He kicked 27 goals this year which is a great return for a guy that pushes up the field a lot.

His pressure work for our team is enormous work horse of our team and culture.

That would have that weasel and his cohorts shivering down @Freo.

How do we get this done? We have his non public nomination on our side to get this done. 2019 first round pick + Sam Frost.

Watch Collingwood swoop :(

Darn 


simple question. why can't we use our 2019 1st round pick as part of a deal with gcs?

i've seen posts here which say we are not restricted by the afl and some that say the opposite

so which is it?

We most certainly CAN use our 19 1st rounder

We can, but why would GCS want that? They would be better waiting a year then getting the compo pick. We'd be better waiting as well because we won't have to give up anything next year. I always thought we might be getting to him as an early move for next season.

Of course if he comes out and says he's desperate to get to the Dees that changes everything and the asking price might lower.

so why wouldn't that go a fair way to making an offer to gcs, with some extra sweeteners?

we must have the money if we were trying to get gaff in

Yeah but lets be honest, Gold Coast wouldn't be counting on this pick being inside the top 10, and hence won't accept it.

I just can't see how this will end up happening for us now.

Such a bloody shame!

We can afford May...not issue

It's appeasing GC . We need the picks..or something. Right this second we don't have enough...but hey...watch this space

I only made reference to the question....our pick 15/ 16/17/18  won't do the trade alone ... I sense a sacrificial lamb  if to happen.

if it were dorks they'd find a way

Let us be dorks !!

Hopefully Freo pulling out of the Hogan trade means we don't get May.

Why would you not want May ?

 

GC will want a better than mid first rounder....( Bulldogs pick 7 a possibility) or a late first rounder and a player. No ...Hunt won't fly

We really don't have a player to offer

Hard to see us getting back into this deal even assuming we're allowed to do something with our first rounder for 2019

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
