Oh yeah, absolutely not saying either of them have anywhere near the potential Gus does, more just talking about our spread of depth and how we have a lot more depth in the ball-winning mid category than the outside runner category.

Reckon you might end up surprised by Sparrow. Just my opinion of course, but I rate him as a future player for us. Likely not our best player, but I can see him replacing Viney down the track and having similar strengths with contested work and burst speed like Jack used to have.

I think Sparrow will become the bullocking half forward bit like Vanders was last year. Once henbuilds his tank up then i think he will have burst in the midfield at some stage.

Doesn't find enough of the ball for me to make it as a mid...good young mids rack up possessions in the 2's.

Think Harmes, ANB and Brayshaw when starting at Casey and they were all getting big numbers.

Jordon is a good example of our youngest kid who really gets involved when playing midfield and gets as fair bit of ball.

I would try Sparrow back, his strength on the ground, in the air and leg speed could be valuable there plus he may read the play better with the ball coming at him.

Could also be a tagger down the track, has the attributes.

Happy to be proven wrong about the mid thing, I like a lot of what the kid brings.

    It's his first year mate, and he's missed half of it with injury. Managed to crack a couple of senior games though.

    Just gut feel, but I think the first few years Sparrow might play more of a half forward role and Jordon possibly half back. I think both can bring some good things eventually.

    I follow Brad Green on twitter and he RT'd Ricky Nixon onto my timelime.

    Ricky tweeted the following after the Freo Coach/CEO sacking;

    "Imagine if you saved one of your best players from walking by offering his Dad the CEO role - hhhmmm I’m pretty Bray Shaw you get where I’m coming from #ChickenGoesBANG"

    If this is the case I can imagine some serious sniffing for Angus coming up

    Except that Bell is the one likely to be CEO. He is pulling all the strings.

    Also Gus is contracted for a couple of years.

    However, if we were to consider letting him go to Freo, what would be the payment?

    Could a deal be Langdon, plus what they get from Saints for Hill, we then on trade the best pick for another player, say a King from GC. Keep a pick for another player. therefore the deal could be Gus for Langdon, King and another player. Of course it won't happen.

    Great time of year trade time, as the possibilities of deals are fascinating, far more so than this season has been.

    WIshful thinking. They'll want a Langdon for Brayshaw direct swap, we'll want what you said. We'll cave for Langdon and pick 25

    Brayshaw will have toured the facilities by then and made a trade request. Ok, Bell will throw in a pick 44 to sweeten the deal.

    Is that before or after, Bell says they have done a due diligence and changed their mind and don't want him?

    I think it was in the Langdon thread where I suggested a trade involving Brayshaw, Langdon and Fremantle’s first round pick was the suggestion. I’d happily retain Brayshaw however if he wanted to leave, I think that suggestion is fair for both parties. Thoughts?

    44/25 + Landon valued at pick 20 equals pick 5 in trade value. Valued at pick 15 = pick 4, I wouldn't be so shocked if we caved in for that because Brayshaw told us he wanted to go.

    It sets up multiple possible trade scenarios,  if Gus seeks a trade to Freo.

    It could involve the Saints with Hill, Langdon of course, maybe GC and King, who knows, but it would be a multiple club and player deal.

    All premature at this stage as Gus might be very happy at Dees.

    If he's mentally unstable enough to be happy at the Dees after this year, then we might have to lower the value estimations even further :laugh:

    Whatever we do, we'll f*** up the trade and get peanuts back. Only have to look at Hogan and Lever deals to know the MFC have no understanding over negotiations. Well do Langdon and offer a pick + Brayshaw or something ridiculous. Hell let's offer Viney and Gus for Langdon now and well throw in our 2nd rounder. F*** off Mahoney

    You’re angry at Mahoney over a trade scenario that you made up in your head? That’s fantastic.

    If the Dees don’t get bumped on Pick 2 with the GC PP. The Dees will take Noah Anderson.

    If this happens, I expect Brayshaw to be on the move to Freo.

    • 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?
