Tomlinson is cr@p. Marks the ball, a million decisions go through his mind so he freaks out and kicks it long down the line everytime. will definitely slow down our ball movement.

no idea why we aren't interested in Papley. he is exactly what we need. exactly.

    Here’s how I think this is going down.

    GC will get the priority pick and 2 becomes 3, not ideal but they probably need all the help they can get just now. Anderson is out of reach and so we do the following:

    Langdon for pick 21

    Tomlinson as FA

    option 1 (left field): We get Jamie Elliot as FA and we take pick 3 to the draft for Young

    option 2: We trade 3 to GWS for 12 and 15 and go for players like Ash and Cody Weightman. 

    IMO Ash wont be there at 12, he is a bona fide top 10 pick. I think we need Lachie Young, but i feel like we are going to split the pick, so we are going to get 2 players. Jamie Elliott will not leave the pies and the Pies wont let him, they have invested so much in him, thats a pipe dream.

    You may well be right; however, it IS pipe dream season.

    I am sitting a long way from the corridors of power in the MFC but even I hear a few whispers now and then.

     

    Not really earth shattering or anything new. Langdon is an all but done deal unless a wrinkle develops. We are in the mix for Tomlinson with"what is being termed "a better than even chance."

    We have also had advanced talk with a forward that has been linked to a trade with the Saints.This rumour is very flimsy and there does not seem to be much to it so I will not pass on any further details at this stage.

    I know it's still early, but there's a distinct lack of riddles in the last 24 months. 

    Do better, Demonland.

    Ben King has been linked to the Saints... I suspect we have an interest also.

    I hope we snaffle up Ben King. Fingers crossed we've advanced talks further.

    I reckon Ah Chee from Suns and Ellis Yolman are worth a look. 

    They can't be any worse then the likes of Stretch, ANB, JKH etc

    Also by getting Langdon via trade, Tomlinson as a FA and one or 2 more FAs enables to keep pick 2/3 or try upgrade.

    Not too bad without costing much at all

    Yep, Ellis Yolman has pace and could be handy on the outside. Ah Chee, likewise.

    Maybe we have expressed interest in Papley, who knows? It was reported some kind of  clause was triggered in his contract and it now runs until 2023 and there were rumours the Swans could ask for 2 first round picks (which sounds ridiculous to me) from the Blues. If those reports are accurate, would we be willing to part with something that high for Papley? 

    What do ‘landers think he’s actually worth?

    The talk of Papley got a top 10 pick is ridiculous. He’s good but not that good. The fact he’s contracted for a few more years might mean a desperate club could offer it.

    Agreed. Our bottom 6 players who are regularly getting a game are poor, it’s about upgrading these types for better ones. Not every trade is about getting in a star or someone who is going to (potentially) be one.

    100%..  thats why Tom cutler should be on our radar, wont cost alot but is better then the bottom 6. refresh the depth, and inject a couple "need players" and get some kids.

    Agree D3. We know what our bottom 6 are capable of (not much), time to bring in some unknown quantities and see if we have some luck.

    How would we feel about this??

    Would pretty much make the off season. We need goal scoring power. We need quality smalls. We need marking options. He’s all of the above.

    We should be loading up ok free agents, as they cost us nothing in terms of draft picks and we’ve traded away all our first rounders for years on end now.

    To add Elliott and Tomlinson without giving up any picks would be huge for the club. Add in Langdon for a second round pick and that’s a very successful off season to balance out list and add mature talent.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
