The clouds seem to have aligned on the Jenkins rumour. 

Unlike several of the fantasy rumours we hear at this point in the season, this one actually makes sense.

I can’t see this one being true, I’m pretty sure he’ll die if he walks outside of the goal square at Adelaide Oval.

Well, I guess it makes sense.

We are in need of a small forward.

Hoping the people i'm speaking to are wrong, but i'm hearing the Saints and Hawks are ahead of us in the race for Hill. we are having to be pretty creative Salary cap wise to come up with a financial offer to get him and Langdon and it's looking like the club is prioirtising Langdon over Hill. and the Saints and Hawks have some money to splash. 

Big novice when it comes to trade time so excuse my ignorance but...

Hill is a must get.  Langdon i have no idea as i haven't watched him closely at all really.  We are severley lacking in this player type and skill set though (Hill).

Im not sure why we are re-signing depth players when we are in dire need of two quality outsiders, a genuine KF & two small forwards.

We can't wait and hope that rookies will just miraculously fill these key roles with such a narrow window available.

Surely there's plenty of dead wood or surplus depth players that can be traded and/or delisted to free up the salary cap, improve our coffers and go on a shopping spree!??

Brad hill has asked for a trade back to victoria for his wife (she's from Vic).  Announced by Lyon on the news.

Jenkins is a spud, who is huge but has no presence on the field and not what we are after.

We all Know Freo are crap to deal with , whether we are late to the race or not they will drag it out to suit themselves, it will all come down to the offer that is made. Freo wont care if its hawks or Melbourne , it will be the best offer for them.

I may have missed something since, but that's not what Lyon said at all as far as I've seen.

“Brad’s playing super football … we have a strong working relationship and respectful on both sides,” Lyon told reporters.

“We empathise and try and put ourselves in all our players' shoes. But at the end of the day we have list managers and football sub-committees that get to work on those types of situations when they arise.

“I’m sure we will deal with the situation when it arises.”

Robbo reckons Saints are leading the race at this point.

I’m pretty desensitised to the utter shitfulness of this club. That being said. If this crap season means Hill overlooks us as a designation to instead go to [censored] St Kilda,....I will be displeased.

 Hill is exactly the player we are crying out for.

i sincerely hope the club has their ears to the ground and is ready at the drop of the hat to clear a salary or two off the books, irrespective of how many games they've played at the club, in order to match or even exceed a bid that the Saints are offering (Could be Frost, Jones, Garlett etc). I'd rather Hill and 2 more young draftees on minimum afl wage that wont even play a game, than 2 seniors on 350-400k who we are still waiting on whether they can make it, or if they have another year of afl standard footy to give.

I wonder if it's all tied in with the news that Jack Steven will probably be off to Geelong this year, and how much cap space that frees up for them. We might actually be outbid by a far bigger amount than we can possibly make up.

St Kilda could offer him a lot more cash, our salary cap is getting stretched.

I thought Mahoney said last year there was space for another big fish this year?

Has the Club (as opposed to journos) revealed that our cap is tight?

We should have some room. After we signed Lever Mahoney said there was room for another. We got May but lost Hogan. So realistically money should not be a concern. 

[Alex Flood 245]

So what can we give up to get him here ? Is it better than the Saints or Hawks offers ?

Agree on Jenkins. Downhill skier and gets the easy ball. We don’t need him.

Sure we may not be able to pay him the most but he would get the chance to train in the best facilities, with the best medicos, in a team that consistently makes the finals and plays numerous blockbusters in front of big crowds.

to be honest i think the $$ side of things is where they have a big edge over us in this race.

In the interview he says his partner is from Melbourne and they may move back to Victoria in future to start a family. He said it's not happening now and the rumours aren't true. He's not asking for a trade and his manager hasn't spoken to anyone but Freo. Usual straight bat stuff, as we're still in the season and he's contracted to Freo for 2 more years.

I don't think we'd get both him and Langdon, but one of them may be gettable and a good result as long as no first round pick is involved.

Wrong

[Older demon 2,190]

Suggested yesterday that Stevens goes to Geelong, Kelly goes to Free and Hill goes to the Saints with swaps of late draft picks. No good for us but seems a good fit with 3 players who want to play elsewhere.

If we get pick 2 please take Noah Anderson and do not trade it away for anybody

[Demon3 2,541]

Would we be happy to get Landon for our 2nd pick, currently around 21ish? is that what we are thinking? its a bit hard to get a feeling on what he is actually worth?

Only problem is Stevens is old and not worth the value of the other 2.

Im not saying it won't happen, but I doubt it will happen as you've put "late picks involved" only

[DubDee 21,284]

How can our salary cap be stretched when we have 2 imports and Gawn on big money. we also lost hogan. 

we should have a lot of room to spare.  god knows most players negotiating a new contract this year wont be getting more money based on 2019 performance
