Instead of Gaff, I'd consider McGovern or Liberatore over Gaff. We need another defender so McGovern could be FB with Lever off HB. Or Liba, Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney,....WOW! 

libber is poison

If you could replace a potential retiring Vince with Hannebery would you do it?

Would you upgrade Tyson for David Swallow?

What about replacing a Frost with Steven May? Would you find a way?

Lewis for Gaff? Jordan to the box

 

  • Yes go for Hannebery after Gaff
  • Yes go for Swallow after Gaff
  • No Frost is too versatile to lose - good coaching will be all it takes to amend his ways as he really is a talent at 100mph
  • Yes Lewis has reached an onfield sunset but would be a great 2IC coach

What if we went after Zac Jones and offered up Tyson and a player/pick? With Sydney's mature mids in their 30's a player like Tyson would be best 22 and play the next 4-5 years in the middle.

Zac would be a real asset - and a two-for-one deal would be feasible, particularly if those two were from Tyson, OMac, JKH, Bugg, Smith - not Joel. Oh, hell ... a 3-for-one deal!

It's too early this year, but the player I'd be in the ear of is Ed Richards at the pups. I reckon he steps straight into Bernie or Lewis' spot and the upside is huge.

A star in the making. It’ll be interesting to see if he ends up at the Pies in time

Zac Jones coffs it up as much as Tyson. Hopefully he can clean that area up like his brother did. Gaff is the only one I would go for.

Zac Jones for Tyson? Where do I sign. Don’t think dom will leave Melbourne and we might be better hanging onto him in case we get some injuries. Handy depth player

Good call. But we do need more speed and ground level threat at the feet of Hogan, McDonald and even Melksham. Jeffy is one. Spargo is another but isn't quick. Petracca is more explosive than quick too.

We need at least one more small, maybe even two. I suspect Kent will be kept on the list for this reason. Unless, Taylor and co think there are some speedy goal sneaks in the mould of the last few Rioli's up for grabs at the end of this season.

Spargo is quick in the mind, a distributor.

Jeffy is flee't.

We need pace on the run, that comes inboard a footy player.   A player who can and will play, anywhere the team needs.

So could Zac Jones as a Swan. Think they'd rather keep him than trade for Turnover Tyson

You know when you listen to SEN (come on most of us do occasionally) and they have the “call in and tell us your realistic trade/FA scenarios for you club” segment... and all you do is roll your eyes for 3 mins before getting embarrassed by some Pies nuffy saying they will trade chit truck  player x for gun player y and then get FA gun is “cumin to da Pies as well”. 

You’re so embarrassed for them you turn it off... seems like this thread over the last few pages.

Hi cards so who will use as a trade for a KPB seeing as how we have no first round draft picks to use?

Bottom line we must have a few up our sleeves on the assumption Gaff will more than likely play games with the MFC and stay with West Coast.

Aaron Hall for Dom Tyson. 

Both have flaws but Hall fits our team better and suns get a ball winning mid.

To get gaff as well and hunt to come back and improve, we will have better balance.

Dom Tyson won’t leave Victoria. He wanted to come home from the giants basically right away 

I’d say a few vic teams will be keen on him but personally I’d rather hang onto him

Am I the only one not huge on Zac Jones? Not a bad player, but if he wasn't related to a certain Melbourne skipper, I don't think there'd be much interest in him.

Arrange a deal for Ivan Soldo, huge upside.

You’re not the only one, for me it’s the fact he signed an extension with the Swans last year to remain there until the end of 2019.

You have thrown in our main key defender( and brother of our best forward). Wow!

The suns desperately need leadership, just as we've had from Lewis in the past 2 years grooming the clubs culture.  And just as the Lions have had from Hodgey.

I reckon the AFL would like to help the Suns get back on-track...

 

So, to me, a win-win would be something like : >  NJones and ZJones to the Suns.  Leadership in dedication and commitment, you will not surpass. Two brothers playing together for the first time.

Our take... Touk Miller or Ben Ainsworth.

The Swans, I imagine, not sure of they're needs.  Maybe Jarrod Witts, or someone else?

 

The Suns have been in "parte` mode" for far too long now,,, and they need some clean livin' hard edged people, who will back one another, to start to turn that culture around, from the ground floor.

Sen, hinted that we may be interested in Anthony Miles.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
