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.

  • Quote

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

    would also put Kent on trade table.

  • Quote

    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

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
