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.

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

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

Would've preferred one match winning mid with class such as Hill, Jack Martin or Coniglio.

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

If the Dees get Pick 2. I’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, 2020 First Round Pick & player (eg. ANB, J Wagner QLDer, etc...) Add Baker as he is a QLDer also. 

We use Pick 12 to select Cody Weightman

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

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

Keep pick 2 and use it on Anderson have faith in T.Mac, Weid, Petty and J.Smith.

who makes way?

Lewis - yes

Frost - maybe

Others - ??

We finished 17th we should have salary cap space.

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

Garlett, probably another $400k

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

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

But how can you be certain GC would pick Rowell?

Is Elliott really that likely? 1000-1 to move from Pies imo. I must have missed something 

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. It’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 they’ll be pleading for them to take less. 

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

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 they’ll go Rowell if they had to take one. Also he’s more of a sure thing early on.

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 don’t think any of Langdon Tomlinson or Elliott would be demanding massive money. 

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

Although I don’t think it’s a certainty, I think Rowell would suit GC more. Hard inside mid who will probably average 20-25 possessions a game in his first season, touted as a future Captain too, leadership qualities that GC need. At 178cm he’s 10cm shorter then Anderson but that shouldn’t be a factor for GC.

Thanks, that is a good answer.

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 aren’t looking for a win-win. They’re looking to make a statement, that players won’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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
