What about Weiderman & JKH for Darcy Moore?

Is Moore even that good? From what I’ve seen of him he hasn’t delivered yet either?

    Hard to know what Pies will do, I've heard for some time that they want both Weid and Lynch (GC), going to be an interesting trade period. Moore was linked to Swans so god knows what will happen.

    So just to get this straight.... you'd keep a guy that's played a handful of senior games over a few years, who's had one injury after another, who struggles to get on the park,  just because of the size of his nuts and he goes in hard.... rather than keep a tough midfielder with excellent skills who also goes in hard, is reaching peak form, has a couple of BOGs already this year and is highly respected amongst his teammates, including the captain???

    Keep Vanders and remove Gus from our list? Again, crazy talk. 

    Stop biting, Moonie.  He ain't worth it.

    I'm honestly glad some of the NQR's on here aren't list managers..

    One of the most bewildering posts I've read..

    2 + 2 does not equal 8

    Brayshaw was hard at it tonight.  He's showing plenty of courage.

    Brayshaw was good tonight, especially early. He is tracking along nicely and has had a solid year - massive improvement. Brayshaw, Oliver and Viney are our future midfield.

    Yep he showed his class in his first season.

    But his weakness is always going to be a concern Re his footy.

     

    But if he continues his attack at the ball and the man, like he is, he will become untouchable, within our list.

    Weitering needs a fresh start, I’d welcome him at the Dees. A fit and confident Weitering, Lever and OMac as the talls would be a delight. Hibberd, Jetta, Lewis (or insert replacement, Hunt?) as the small-mediums.

    OOC end of 2021. Probably disregard my above post then..

    Yeah, Weitering signed a long term deal at the end of last year or early this year. Certainly worth an inquiry though.

    Jack Martin?

    Might not demand a top pick, I haven't watched much of him this year but was highly touted as a junior.

    Trade out Tyson!  He has played good in patches however, has not met expectations.

    would also put Kent on trade table.

    The Tiges have a few small forwards who can't get a game at the moment.

    I would seriously look at a trade for Shai Bolton.

    He's behind Rioli, Higgins etc at the mo.

    We need some pace and x factor in the forward half.

    I watched Bolton a few weeks ago in the VFL and was quite impressed, has potential.

    I wondered why I always liked that name, Weitering.

    I see that North have made a $5M over five years offer for De Goey.

    Hopefully it hurts the Pies to match it.

    https://au.sports.yahoo.com/north-makes-giant-afl-offer-young-pie-065430493--spt.html

    Also Gubby Allen has taken a job at North... will be interesting to see how Eddie reacts to his mate targeting one of their key players

    Pies are in a tough spot.  They have admitted they have minimal cap space, so if they want to sign him and match that deal (or get close to it), they will either have no space to use over the next couple of seasons or have to trade out some contracts which others may not be keen to accept unless they throw in a sweetener (eg a first rounder).

    If they let him go then I could see De Goey flourishing at North.  Tough times ahead for the Pies, and I don't feel bad about that at all.

    He's not a FA, so Norf will have to trade for him on top of paying $1mill pa. Probably 1 rounder + second rounder. This could come back to bite Norf on the bumm

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
