Who do we realistically target for a trade?

His nickname at Geelong is blister, pops up when the hard works done. 

No offence but he’s exactly the type of player we should stay away from. He can find the goals, all too inconsistently though. 

I would've thought goal kicking consistency is his exact strength. 2 goals a game guaranteed per year. He's obviously a lazy player Goody wouldn't go near, as evidences by Garlett sitting in the VFL. He's also never played more than 19 games in a year.

Dream shopping list

1 -    Gun outside mid  (Andrew Gaff)

2  -   Proven tough reliable KPD who can shut down an opponent and also find the footy a la Hurley (Steven May)

3 -   Electrifying X factor excitement machine in the mold of Jurrah/Farmer  (???)

Steven May, as already stated.

Point 3, well where did we find Jurrah?  How did we get Farmer?

1. Andrew Gaff 

2. Darcy Moore (can play any position) 

3. Kobe Farmer (can’t be too far away)

I love a good trade hypothetical thread, but I feel that people should add ‘How we’d get said player...’ to their suggestions.  There are many suggestions here that are in no way realistic if we didn’t trade out Hogan, Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw or Gawn.

Alright, I feel dirty even putting this out there but.....

 

Make a big play for Lynch, can’t see GC matching the bid, pick 3 better than what they will get IMO if Lynch chose to come to us. Then trade Hogan (who I love and this is the only scenario I would even consider trading him) to Fred for say, Andrew Brayshaw.

 

If we could make it happen, then it would be hard not to do it.

 

Need to wash my mouth out with soap now....

I think we need to be aggressive and trade for young talent;

Out with the slow and players who cannot kick. I won’t name them!

- Gaff (is a star and very gettable) We must make this happen. Free Agent so we don’t have to trade.

- Tom McCartin! He is a first year player and going be a star! Not sure if he can be traded this early in his career but is definitely a player we should be looking at. I believe he can be a genuine full forward. 

- Dylan Shiel. I belief he is un-contracted. Improves our mid field immensely. 

We need to be aggressive this trade period. Full stop................

I suspect Hogan is on around 600k but is likely to go to 800k next contract renewal if his 2019 form justifies it. Lynch arguable 1.2M.

Worth doing the sums but I would want Brayshaw and Freo's first rounder for Hogan. Might work.

I think Shiel is contracted until the end of 2019.

geez the players looking to move from their current clubs would be finding the dees game style pretty damn exciting! i reckon the recruitment team have a few surprises for us all over the next few months.. as we don't have much to trade with, it could centre around a 3 or 4-way complicated trade situation with lower picks for draft points, etc..

Maybe a Ruckman and another forward would be ideal

Are you referring to Darcy Moore?

Any guy who can only ruck would become very frustrated living in Max’s long shadow.

I think Leuenberger is out of Contract this year, would be a handy back up to Maxy.

And also an outside mid with ball skills.

Not predictive text or you would have that's right.

Did anyone catch McClure on SEN this morning, I only caught the last bit of it but did he say that a club was throwing everything at Hogan? And if so, which club was it?

Freeeeeeeeooooooooooo. Will the deal they’re putting together involve Cerra and draft picks? It could. You heard it here first. #ETtradewhisperer.

Hugh Goddard and Kieran Collins, both highly rated juniors who have had their share of injury issues.

Both delisted... could be DFA or Rookie option if we’re looking at out key defensive depth.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
