Trade rumours

Thats very clever trading ( for Carlton )  effectively a freebie :rolleyes:

Cap dump. Lobbe has a few years to go on around $500,000  a year. Blues take on his contract so get him for a nothing pick.

 

I'm looking forward to that Victorian midfielder joining us in the next 40 minutes!

So nothing more for the Dees

Very disappointing trade week for us

No back up ruck no speedy outside mid no lively small forward

WATTS UP?

Jake lever. Literally the best trade targets for the period. We win.

Port and Bombers have smashed trade week out of the park - especially Essendon. That is a good deal for Stringer. Credit to Dodoro, he held off until the last minute with this one. Bomber fans should be happy.

Yep, they are the clear winners. Carlton has done well getting quality picks in for the rebuild, SOS and Dodoro play hard ball and it shows in their results. Lessons to be learnt for next time for MFC

Agree

Still doesnt address our current needs

That ‘gun’ Victorian midfielder.

We have superior lists to both clubs. Lots to learn...

Don't disagree but what has that got to do the current trade period and who did most with what they had?

I think we are going for Gaff as a free agent next year. Could be a reason we wanted watts off our book.

Plus I like AVB to play the half forward role. Tough as nails and can take a grab.


Cmon Dees upgrade some of those second rounders!

Seems all you're doing is whinging and potshotting.

If you can't accept that the industry seems to think we've had another successful trade period, that's your perogative, but I hardly think SOS is a great model.

Having said that there's always something to learn from others in trade period, but don't insinuate we haven't done well too.

Dogs have traded picks to get up to pick 16 from Carlton

28+30 for 16+40

Dogs also gave up next seasons second rounder too coach.

We've just picked up arguably the best player from the 2014 draft, certainly top 3 with Petracca and Heeney.

When is the last time a club got such a quality 21 year old out of another club ?

The Lever deal by itself makes this trade period a huge success and without question the best deal we've done in 20 years (Jeff White) and I suspect will be our best trade ever.

If we win a flag it will be.


Interesting that we didn't target Matthew Lobbe from Port as a reserve ruck and freebie bonus to make the Watts trade look a little better value.

Meanwhile, Adelaide have effectively traded Lever for Gibbs. Obviously the Crows are looking for another bite at the Grand Final, so different circumstances. But I'd be really irritated if the Demons had given up that much for Gibbs, and I'm a big fan.

Another way to look at it; at the same price, we gained our likely best tall defender, aged 21, while the Crows gained an equivalent quality midfielder, aged 28.

It's a bit easier when you have plenty of cap room -  now and projecting forward - and best 22 spots available.

Would you have been happy to wear the last 2 years of Lobbe's $500,000 a year contract, cause that is what the Blues are wearing, for a backup Ruck? That ain't no freebie. The Blues can wear the contract cap wise because they don't have many players worthy of increased contracts in the next couple of years.

You seem a little defensive / sensitive to criticism of the club on this occasion AF - its not a pot shot its debating. Industry thinks we paid overs and we did. Would love SOS doing the negotiations for us with Taylor and co doing the scouting and selecting of the players

Fair point, it is a big chunk of money. I figured it would be the alternative to agreeing to pay a share of Watts' contract. (Though that detail still isn't publicly confirmed as far as I'm aware)

Its about quality not quantity. You seem to just want action.

Lever did all the work... he fell in our lap. I would not be patting our guys on the back for getting it done. Joe the goose if there ever was one

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
