Who do we realistically target for a trade?

Apparently Lachie Neale is trying to get to Brissy, which if that was the case they might be happier to release Dayne Beams back to Victoria, while Collingwood would be most likely, I'd love to have him at the Dees he could be a great link man as good as an inside mid as he is at the moment. Not sure what we'd give, but something like a 2nd next year and a player JHK/Kent etc. might do

    A contracted Beams would cost a lot more than a second round pick (in the 30s) plus JKH.

    He's not trying to get to Brisbane. Brisbane are trying to get him and he's open to the idea.

    I cant see us being too active this year. 

    The list of free agents are underwhelming, Gaff & Dahl are probably the only on our list however their price tags are getting a bit excessive. 

    We have no trading blocks unless we want to trade our own talent. 

    I dont think we really need to make too many changes anyway. Next year our "ins" are LEVER, HOGAN & VINEY.

    I’m also hopeful that Billy Stretch will have a Harmes-like renaissance. The signs were promising prior to his injury.

    Who knows, if they have a replacement lined up they might accept something like that (2nd plus player) now rather than know he'll be gone in 2 years anyway and will get nothing then. They've made it clear they don't expect him to stay beyond his current contract. He's also turns 29 before the start of next season, so will only really have 3 years left in him.

    I read it that he'd approached Freo about it, rather than Brisbane approaching them, suggests to me he's more than just open to the idea.

    They said on the radio that Neale has not approached Freo at all yet and that Brisbane were keen and Neale camp was open to the idea.

    Think those picks are wrong. It's 36, 43, 54 and 90. 

    We've done well some of later picks especially the two Mac boys both taken at pick 53

    I thought Viney was an in next week.

    Pick 5 from Freo plus Brisbanes pick 4 as a result of the Neale trade for Hogan....Something to seriously consider. We could then keep a first round pick for this "Superdraft" who by all accounts the top 5 are brilliant and trade the second 1st rounder to any of the clubs holding the dynamic , goal kicking , speedy midfielder we  are so desperate for. Im a Hogan fan  and don't think it should /will happen but it will defietely be considered IMO. Doubely so if the Weed has a great finals campaine - by god I hope he does.

    I hope we're putting an offer to Shiel to play with the best midfield in the league at the end of his current contract.

    Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw, Harmes, Tyson and Petracca. Surely, he'd have to consider it. If we don't get Gaff, I'd say "give it one more shot at GWS and then come back to Victoria and play under Max".

    Shiel, Kelly or Whitfield are the ones I want, Shiel is more likely. Mouthwatering midfield.

    Shiel would be great.. but who are you willing to give up to get him in? We got no picks.

    Shiel plays a very selfish brand of football for mine...I’d happily have him but he needs a lot of adjustments to his role to benefit any club he goes to

    I think it’s all a moot point, however, as we don’t have the assets to trade, unless we want to give up significant best 22 players

    I don't want to trade Hogan.  He is much better and much more valuable than many people on here seem to think. 

    But if he is thinking about it, then for picks 4 and 5 we'd have to consider it. That'd be the best possible return we'd ever get for him and, if he was leaving anyway,  would help set us up even longer term.

    Miles better than the compensatory pick of around 15 that we would get if he leaves under restricted free agency.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
