Too true, the one bloke out of step might be the only one who's got it right.

Or a rose is a rose is a rose.

The suggestion you don't trade out the talent is fine if, and only if the supposed talent is manifest, realisable and sufficiently timely.

From my observations Weed just isn't that good at these levels. Another tall who could run amok as a kid found wanting in a mans game.

He seems just this side of clueless as to position playing and rarher limited in traffic. 

Be interesting to revisit as time marches on. I reckon his 'potential' has all but been exposed.

But this is just my view. Im happy with it.

Apparently Pies will ask for potential trade for Weideman.  They see him as future Full Forward alongside Darcy Moore. 

I say No but if pick 6 was on offer then they can keep talking.  

Perhaps...

Pick 6 and pick 23

for Weideman and MFC 1st round 2018 draft 

Absolutely no way.

Tell eddie to waddle away, back to Broady.

No in fact it may be they realise the window is only open for a short time and we have to make hard decisions to get a premiership group together

It would in fact be seen as proactive team development we invested in Wied now we maximise his value

Make hay when the sun shines.

We keep the kid.  If he wants out in 2 years time, then eddie can payup 2 x 1st Rnd picks for him.

Imagine the fallout if Weed came good after being traded to the filth. Doesn't bear thinking about 

As opposed the fallout if he stays and doesn't ?

Interesting that for all the talk of war chests and the squillions available to some clubs following the latest increase in the salary cap, it seems unlikely that there will be much movement at the top echelon.

Lever to somewhere (hopefully us) and Stringer for personal reasons but neither really for the money.

Even the Hawks seem quiet.

Early days yet DJ. I think you might find that the trade chatter will climb after the Grannie. There's probably quite a few in the background being worked on. Rockliff, Gibbs and Goldy are in the mix. Trade week doesn't start til Oct 9.

Would imagine the Hawks are quiet because they don't have many assets left to deal with after the Mitchell & O'Meara swoop.

Rockliff as a potential FA wouldn't be a big surprise, but Carlton sound like they are going hard and would probably offer up more coin.

Coll's 6 for the Weed, then 6 to GC for Lynch. Isn't he a fa next year?

This is silly for so many reasons.

If Collingwood were after a key forward why would they take Weideman when they could get Lynch for the same price.

There is no way Lynch would be traded for pick 6.

There is no way a club would give up pick 6 for Weideman. 

GC are just as likely to do poor again next season and their compensation pick would have every chance of being as good or better than pick 6.

Would this work?

Adelaide - Pay: Lever, Cameron. Receive: Melbourne's 1st Rnd '17 & '18, GCS 2nd Rnd.

Melbourne - Pay: 1st Rnd '17 & '18, Weideman. Receive: Lever, Lynch.

Collingwood - Pay: P6. Receive: Weideman.

Gold Coast - Pay: Lynch, 2nd Rnd. Receive: Cameron, P6.

Pies would be better off paying 6 for lynch

If the Pies are interested in Weideman, I've got no problems if we listened because surely the proposal would be 'overs' due to the 'nostalgia' aspect.

Highly doubt MFC would be stupid enough to entertain the bid, but could be worth a giggle listening to them.

It's diligent of the club to listen to all offers, for anyone. You then dismiss, listen more or  print the paperwork accordingly.

Listening costs nothing ;)

Take your point Moonshadow. To me those you have named are good players but nowhere near those that were rumored to be moving for the big money during the course of the year... Martin, Fyfe, Kelly etc

Went to the North Big Footy board a few days ago and they are lamenting that their money seems to have bought them nothing.

IIRC the Unrestricted Free Agents next year aren't a bad crop. There is a lot of talk on the North Board about front loading the team for 2018 so they have even more money available for 2019 and beyond.

GC would fold up and be eliminated from the AFL if that deal went through.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
