Not only has he been cruelled by injuries, I'm not entirely sure he's the type built for the modern game. Seems like a goal square gorilla with a lack of tank.

I supposed it'd depend on what we give up for him.

I think he meant the Tom variety at Sydney.

Only recently returned from America where he underwent some treatment, I'm not sure if he will play on.

With Serious Serious Concussion issues a big fat NO

JOSH JENKINS Sheeit we are screaming for a big player would be minimal cost why not!??

I didn't suggest he would.  Simply clarifying what I think Mach5 meant.

If Paddy Mc Cartin plays again he is risking some serious serious damage.

NO !!!! A game is not worth the potentiality of long term impairment and or worse!!

That's fine, I just happen to know that he is going nowhere.

Yoko is the band getting back together? The rest of trade week is like watching paint dry.

Maybe many deals are already done and the AFL is waiting to drip feed them out in the next 48 hours to reach some 'excitement' during their live forecast on Wed evening.

Altho 'excitement' and the commentators (Damian Barrett, Terry Wallace, Kane Cornes) seems an oxymoron!!   It will be like watching paint dry with a drone in the background!!

Hadn't realised there was an accompanying TV event.

I think your comment is no doubt correct. What a joke.But then again these same guys were responsible for AFLX 2019 !!!

So other than our pick 3 the MFC trades were not considered TV worthy?

To be fair DJ, a lot of our football this year wasn't TV worthy.

Trade spin is interesting .

Have been following the thousands of posts over on Bomberblitz about Daniher.

The spin now is that Swans over promised Daniher about what they would trade to get him and that in fact it is the Swans who are being unreasonable.

Mind you this is the club who still think they were innocent of an organised illegal supplement injection program for their whole team !!

Would North roll the dice on Ben Brown? He's nearly 27 and they have a really nice group of young talent, maybe it's time they go for a proper rebound from a fairly stable position and build around Tarran Thomas, Larkey, Davies-Uniacke, Zuhaar, Simpkin?

That said, re-singing Goldy and Higgins don't really fit with that plan. And whilst some coaches would've pushed for a rebuild I don't think Rhyce Shaw will.

North have been ridiculously quiet so far this trading period. I thought Shaw might put his own stamp on the list and get a big name where they have deficiencies 

Now that Ben King is off the table (shattered), I'm not particularly interested in a likely KPF. I'd certainly take Gunston for a couple of years, but I think we need to be looking long term here. It would also depend on the cost for Gunston.

It's looking like we should build a forward line around McDonald, Melksham, Fritsch, Hannan and some zippy smalls. A quick, mobile, dangerous forward line. Would love a bit more x factor than those names mentioned though.

Harry McKay is the only other tall kid I'd love too, but that'll never happen.

Yeah, so I hear. But it's likely we'll need a bit more x factor than one first year player. 

Posted this in the splitting the pick thread, but what about trying for Wright and Martin as a package. Wright in particular would be a nice addition and I've been wanting Martin for a while.

Peter Wright is absolutely gettable...

Playing NEAFL and he would be taking up some of there coin as well. 

I think he is a good chance to comeback to VIC this trade period.

GC have King, Lukosius, Sam Day, Jarrod Witts and now Zac Smith.

2020 2nd Round Pick (linked to Hawthorn)?

? Yes the swans told them to ask for two first round picks and a player?

Innocent as carlton not having any paper bags in the 80s

Must admit in light of the Hogan trade last year 5 and 9 for a player who had played 6 odd games in two years does seem overs.

The person I feel for is Daniher who obviously has some problems dealing with the mental pressure of football. (Not Robinson Crusoe in that.) This circus doesn't help him and most commentators agreed that a fresh start may be what he needed. So much for Essendon caring about player welfare.
