Tomlinson, Langdon, Elliot plusĀ Anderson or Young in the draft is not a bad October trade/draft period.

Would've preferred oneĀ match winning mid with classĀ such as Hill,Ā Jack Martin or Coniglio.

Really hope GCS don't get 1 & 2 and we pick Anderson.

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

    We should be loading up ok free agents, as they cost us nothing in terms of draft picks and weā€™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 thatā€™s a very successful off season to balance out list and add mature talent.

    Langdon, Elliot, Tomlinson, pick 3/11&13Ā  just need to find one or two good on field leaders to boost that area and it's a very productive off season.

    If the Dees get Pick 2. Iā€™m confident it will be traded to GC for Ben King. Therefore, GC get Rowell and Anderson.

    If we get Pick 3. Ben King is still on the cards but will play out quite differently. I have two scenarios if I was Recruitment Manager;

    Pick 3 to GWS for Pick 12, 14 & a player (eg. Zac Langdon).

    We then on trade;

    Pick 12 & 14 to GC for Ben King

    or ideally

    Pick 14,Ā 2020 First Round Pick & player (eg. ANB, J Wagner QLDer,Ā etc...) Add Baker as he is a QLDer also.Ā 

    We use Pick 12 to select Cody Weightman

    Add Pick 20/21 - Ed Langdon &Ā Free Agents - Tomlinson & Elliot.

    IN - Ben King, Ed & Zac Langdon, Elliot,Ā Tomlinson, Cody Weightman...

    So potentially Tomlinson, Langdon & Elliot coming in, thatā€™s a bit of salary cap space...

    who makes way?

    Lewis - yes

    Frost - maybe

    Others - ??

    Lewis already retired, let's call that $400k

    Garlett, probablyĀ another $400k

    Jones 1 year deal with a haircut (somewhat ironic),Ā  probably another 200k

    I'm guessing we already had some wiggle room, we don't have any million dollar players.Ā

    No, but weā€™ve got players who think theyā€™re worth a million.

    But how can you be certain GC would pick Rowell?

    Because they will.

    Is Elliott really that likely? Still be favoured to stay atĀ Pies imo.Ā 

    But he is exactly what we need

    The Pies can't afford everyone with De Goey, Grundy and Pendlebury all out of contract. That's what gives us a chance.

    And Moore. Itā€™s a nightmare for them. Imagine the dollars being thrown at JDG and Grundy next year. And if Moore somehow had an injury free year next year theyā€™ll be pleading for them to take less.Ā 

    I think Elliot will likely stay but he might get a few more dollars in the contract.Ā

    I was talking to a mate today. They really lack grunt and an accumulator. Rowell not that big but I assume could be a bit like Prestia only slightly taller perhaps. I reckon theyā€™ll go Rowell if they had to take one. Also heā€™s more of a sure thing early on.Ā

    I think when we picked up Lever we had room for another big recruit. We then lost Hogan and got May. So there will be money. As you said Lewis Garlett and Jones will free up around a million. I also donā€™t think any of Langdon Tomlinson or Elliott would be demanding massive money.Ā 

    From the sounds of it we have Tomlinson and Langdon all butĀ signed up. Elliott probably likely to stay at Collingwood.Ā

    Although I donā€™t think itā€™s a certainty, I think Rowell would suit GC more. HardĀ inside mid who will probably averageĀ 20-25Ā possessions a game in his first season, touted as a future Captain too, leadership qualities that GC need. At 178cm heā€™s 10cm shorter then Anderson but that shouldnā€™t be a factor for GC.

    No way the GC are going to let King Go.. they will dig in, they cant let a player go, it will be counter productive to there push for priority. The AFL will make sure that they dont trade King, they get picks 1 & 2 and that they will hope like hell the environment gets better so King wants to stay.

    See i think the opposite. if they think it's likely King will go as soon as he can they may want to maximize value now, and pick 3 is certainly a good return. would be a win-win for both clubs.

    Good points and i agree that it would be a good win for us Patches. Time will tell i suppose, hard to make a call either way right now.

    No chance. GC arenā€™t looking for a win-win. Theyā€™re looking to make a statement, that players wonā€™t be allowed to just leave each year, even if it means cutting off their nose to spite their face.

    Similar to Port with nick stevens.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark.Ā The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss.Ā The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the leagueā€™s present set up.Ā

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      ā€œMax 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.ā€ - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasnā€™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 Oā€™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, thereā€™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 Demonsā€™ poor use of the football, itā€™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 Campbellā€™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?
