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!

    Libba been offered 600k a year from Lions, wants to stay at dogs and it will be for a lot less.

    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

    Yes that's another reason to go hard at him. Might be the last straw for old Chins.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
