Who do we realistically target for a trade?

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

Don't think he will be a free agent at the end of next year? And even then he'd be a restricted free agent so we'd have some say in matching then forcing a trade. Can all Hogan talk be contained in the thread on him, as the talk around him is all hypothetical rather than anything realistic as the club have said he'll stay and his manager made it even more clear.

    yeah ... you have to match the dollars.. what makes you think we can match the dollars that a desperate club will throw at him. Freo has way more free salary cap than we have as do many other clubs.

    We will be in the same position as WCE are with Gaff. Sure they could have matched the Dee's salary offer but no way can they match the North salary offer. That's why WCE are murmuring trade in the sense they want to scare off all the other clubs bar North and make it that much harder (successful v unsuccessful club etc) for Gaff to leave.

    RFA shifts the balance dramatically in favour of the player.

    Of course the manager says he'll stay.... his pay day is next year not this year. Our bargaining year is now. Why not sign him up now if he is so certain to stay ?

    If the changes to the game go through, outside run will be very important,

    We definitely need outside run.

    Good one on one players will be worth their weight in gold.

    The game may resemble AFL X,  if comments by some players are anything to go by.

    I'm sure they'll be working on it over the summer, I'm sure there's something else they'll be focusing on this September!

    Not just, simply outside run, 'shty'.

    Break-line pace and delivery.

    And highballs will go into F50 as well.

    Okay.... who are you willing to give up to get said picks. If Carlscum score a PP this year should we try and cash in on the PP we were wrongfully denied lol?

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

    Whilst we're talking unrealistic trades, I think Macrae would suit our needs perfectly.

    Giving the title of this thread is who do we REALISTICALLY target. With our need for an outside runner with good ball use, how about Sam Mayes from Brisbane?

    Was mentioned on The Wash Up as being out of favor. Was a highly rated junior  (Viney's year), so maybe a change of locations would help plus playing in a better team?

    Given we don't have much to trade with this year, maybe we could get him for a future 3rd rounder?

    Yes 'Mad' was thinking of him the other day but he is an SA boy for what that might matter.

    For some reason he has gone cold and struggling for a regular game.

    I would also be looking at some of the younger Tiger small forwards (not Lloyd) who are not getting a regular game.

    Surely has the skills to play regular games. Which usually means it's a question of work rate. Liked him as a forward when he first started but he looked good down back as well but couldn't consistently perform. He's certainly worth asking the question. Right age where he could get it together quickly if you sorted him out.

    Whispers are being whispered about unhappy players at St Kilda. Will Jacks Steele, Billings and Steven request a trade if Richo stays on? Stay tuned. #WhispermethisETthetradewhisperer.

    I think you should mention that we are looking at Preuss.

    From what I heard a while back, Preuss is definitely keen on joining the Dees. If we’re still keen come the trade period and can satisfy North in a trade, then Preuss will be a Dee next season.

    A back up ruck, should one be needed (touch wood). Not sure Pederson will be with us next year and Tmac should stay as a forward target.

    Pruese from the Kangas would be good in this regard, as well as turning him into a kp either fwd or bkwd. Probably got the spelling of his name incorrect, but hey, not everyone is a Smith or Jones.

    I thought we would targeting free agents this year, but no one really suits our needs except gaff. (But hes not worth 1.2mill a year) wallis and dalhouse would add great list depth but not what we need. 

    Would love preuss and a oustide winger or half back but dont know who!

    Any ideas who? Or fingers crossed hunt becomes that man.

    When he comes back from his season ending knee injury, he will almost certainly be in the red and blue next season.

    I just want to say, it's nice to not have to peruse the main forum and its discontents, looking for trade rumours and discussion. Peaceful and quiet in here!

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
