has the club considered giving up pick 3 for Hill ?

And 900k a season for 6 years? I bloody hope not.

Fremantle up to their old tricks. 

 

Freo are predictable and deserve to be dealt with accordingly.

 

 

StKilda are in a tight spot as they've offered him a massive contract (cash and years) and he's contracted to Fremantle.

With that said, I would have thought pick 6 (with perhaps a swap of later picks was fair enough).

 

 

Seems like Freemantle is getting a taste of their own medicine after spliiting their picks we were after for Jesse last year. The vindictive side of me is pretty happy about this, although the dockers can just keep hill if they aren't happy with those picks from the saints.

I wonder if this means we'll deal with giants for 6 and something?

i reckon we'd be better off just taking it to the draft.

 

I think the obvious move is to go for freo's 2 first rounders for our pick 3. Say 3 for 7 and 18 :) - suits our needs best, but they would want something in return. Or go 3 for 7 and langdon (probably we win that one) or 3 for 12, langdon and a later 3rd round pick).

St Kilda shafting Freo is my favourite move of the trade period. We could land Bontempelli from here and it couldn't get better than that ?

How's this sound?

Melb give Brayshaw 3,22

Melb get Hill, Langdon 7,26

Is that you Peter?

Would love Brad Hill. Should we start a gofundme page for donations?

If we have the money, should we go all out for Hill with pick 3? He’s exactly the type of player we need.

Freo wanted  pick 6, a future first rounder and a third rounder for him. Can't see him being traded for pick 3, and not sure we have the 900k to lure him to us anyway.

 


They were suggesting on trade radio that 3 should get it done. We also have the Elliot money left over. Also, Bell seems the type to hold a grudge, so might want to deal with someone other than the saints to make a statement.

He's not worth $900k a season. Maybe $700k.

Too expensive on the books for mine. Langdon will do us well at a lesser expense

On trade radio, they were suggesting 3 & 22, for Hill & Langdon. Would be great having one on each wing.

If we could split the 3 into a 6 and say a 10, we could give Freo the 6 for Hill and use the other in the draft. We would be under no obligation to offer the ridiculous coin that the Saints have. Although, do we need both Hill and Langdon?


I feel that we still need a gun pick up from the draft, tho’.

IMO the less we have to deal with Freo, the better. I’d like to get the Langdon deal done and not have to put up with any of their [censored]. 

Their St Kilda demands are pathetic. They did a similar thing to us last year as what Saints are doing to them with their early pick. Total hypocrisy 

Please merge with Brad Hill thread...

I don’t think Freo would accept say just a 6 for Hill, but would accept 3. Also, I think if we could get 2 top 10 picks from GWS we would take them to the draft. I also think we do need both Hill & Langdon, one on each wing.

My only problem is why did we recruit Tomlinson then? He’d have to move either forward or back and probably completely changes why he was recruited in the first place. Also Freo were demanding 2 1st rounders for Hill. How is that going to get both Hill and Langdon done? We’d be selling the farm to get both done and paying out the a for Hill. We need to be saving this money for a decent forward

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?
