From Twitter, (for which I make no claims. On the other hand, would make sense)

"Other the Lever and Balic, do the dees have any interest in further midfield/forward depth options, or are they likely to go to the draft?"

"They do, but cap will come into play. Hamstrung somewhat."

 

There was also this:

Is sharrod Wellingham worth a look a delisted free agent? 

Nope. Had one good year at half back for the Eagles but otherwise has been a disappointment. At 29 I doubt he turns it around.

Couldn't see him in red and blue except at Casey.

Eagles losing two best 22 mids in Priddis and Mitchell and delisting Wellingham?

Considering our midfield now bats deeper the WCE I would think it's highly unlikely - even as a small forward.

There it is again.  Watts not judged on his output (a middling player who occasionally turns it on) but on what he could have been.    He suffers because he is a failed messiah.

Absolute rubbish. He suffers because he doesn't push himself to get the best out of himself. I'd say the same about Tmac and Jayden Hunt if they were in his situation and they were taken in the 50s.

It surprises me that you know for a fact he could be better if he just pushed himself more. I'm not so sure.  Sometimes what you get is what you get.

But I must confess you always give me a good giggle. Keep posting keep up the great work. 

Different planet ? to you?

a simple yes or no will suffice

Hard to know and judge on the first 7 years of his career but he had a great preseason going in to the 2016 season and had a career best year. Followed it with a poor preseason and an up and down year consistent with earlier in his career.

There's lots to debate about his role in the team, his role at the club, his value as a player etc but trading him will depend on (a reasonable pick ensuing) if you forgive him for a poor summer and expect him to not produce the same thing again or not.

Jack was so much better than all the kids around him. He never had to push himself. 

Sadly that has carried on through his AFL career. 

The expectation was deserved. He didn’t push himself nearly as hard as he could have

Which is where he finds himself right now, under achieved sadly

Second this. My brother in law works for st Kevin’s, who played Brighton grammar regularly in the APS system. Said he was super talented and dominated everyone if given space... was weak as [censored] against anyone who wore him like a glove!

So no new names popped up today, no doubt that rumour we were into a gun mid was total rubbish. 

Not rubbish I was told we were into a mid who the club rated highly, the term gun appeared through Chinese whispers, Balic was the player

bit annoyed about that one @Petraccattack?? Best to take most things with a grain of salt methinks... you'd hope people don't make $hite up on here for the sake of it 

@Petraccattack has every right to be annoyed. He was showered and shaved by 4am ready for the first day of trade week and the MFC once again failed to turn up until it was too late (9am).

Yep he could play at Sorrento with all the other dicks!

I don't think we should look at trading guys called Sharrod

According to the AFL site Charlie Cameron won't be signing with Adelaide when his contract expires next year and the club has been told so.

A case of trade me now or I'm gone next year anyway.

Should he be looking forward to a whole season in the SANFL next year?

He has to get changed in the umpires rooms and where a bright pink hat at training.

DO you think Rory Sloane will tell the Cows that he is off at the end of next year?  Imagine the conversation:  “What are your plans, Rory” - “I’m not telling you guys, you might shave my balls whilst I’m asleep!”.  Cows have absolutely won the “Sook it up” medal for 2017!  Who would want to go there?  Fragile culture, by the looks of things.

Dwayne's contempt for Melbourne is as strong as ever. Keeps banging on about Lever being worth two first round picks which seems like an attempt to drive his price up.

Also thinks (hopes) other clubs should be trying to "sneak in on the deal".

The best candidate? Surprise surprise: Geelong.

And Geelong have exactly how many first round picks? None. They have 20 & 33.  They also want Ablett and Watts and and and...Geelong no chance.

Derwayne continues to prove that he is an incompetent idiot, incapable of coherent thought.

Someone else mentioned that. What a joke.

On one hand he is saying he is worth 2 first round picks. He then proceeds to suggest Geelong who don't even have a first round pick this year. Who pays these guys?

He has a mirror instead of a screen on his laptop, and he is constantly saying "ok google who is the handsomest of them all?"
