There is no point in trading brayshaw because we won't get any value at all for him, the absolute best a team would give for him is a second round pick, which especially in this year's draft doesn't have much currency to trade on for a need or will be good enough to pick a player that will have a big impact in the next few years. Trade Oliver or let Viney walk as a free agent for mine. If people want an outside classy player trading Brayshaw won't be enough to secure a player like that. Gotta give up value to get value. Brayshaw will also a better player by losing one of those 2 because he will actually get to play inside midfield. 

Viney & Oliver won't be traded.

I think people need to read the full Lloyd quote “Trade Oliver or Brayshaw... to Essendon”.

The fool.

Folks think that 2018 was an aberration for Gus.  It wasn't! 

He had an outstanding 2015; his first year, he played 21 games and just missed the top 10 in the b&f.  It was the year before Oliver arrived and Gus had a lot of midfield time.  Injured most of 2016/2017 and the whole club had a poor 2019.

He is just coming into his prime:  24 yo and approaching 100 games.  There would be many clubs who would take him and happily build their midfield around him. 

As I said a few days ago it will be our loss if we trade him.

Oliver would net us a first round pick + solid player. Brayshaw has about as much value as Nathan Jones atm.

no where near enough. The keys to improving isn't trading your best midfielder of the last 30 years. 

It also makes little sense as he is our quickest midfielder also. Please up your medication before posting

And if they do it a 2nd time they have to whip their own backs like that albino guy in the Da Vinci Code.

Preferably not in public PJ

I'm not saying we should trade Oliver, I'm just saying we won't get anything for Brayshaw if we get him. My opinion is we should let Viney walk then Brayshaw will be able to play inside mid and we get a good pick and cash to chase an outside classy player.

You don't let a player like Viney walk. Ludicrous suggestion

I don't think Praha was saying we should trade Oliver. He was only stating what they would be worth in a trade

Having posted previously about Oliver it’s great to admit you are wrong.His game against the crows was probably one of  his best since 2018 if not even longer. At last showed he can do more than just handball and kick anywhere, became a far more balanced player and showed can become truly elite. As with Brayshaw in the second half moved back to the centre where he should always play became a real force with glimpses of 2018. Both are must keep . Oliver on the ball and Bradshaw in the centre.

Who is this Bradshaw that keeps popping up?

Lloyd is saying that we need to balance the midfield. He isn't wrong.

We are super strong on the inside. On the outside we have Langdon, Tomlinson, vandenBerg, Jones and ANB. 

Langdon was a second rounder for a reason.T Tomlinsonlooks like a mistake. I love VDB but he is playing that role because we require him to not because he is suited. Likewise Jones. ANB shouldn't get another game.

If we replaced these guys with two hard running players with decent pace we would balance our list without giving up to much they don't need to be A graders.

If Landgon could clean up his kicking a bit he would be very good.  His ball drop is so bad.    He always seems so close to doing something really good then kicks a shocker or fumbles the ball.    His speed and running ability have helped us but yeah, those foot skills....

Tomlinson Im not ready to give up on. Lets see how he goes down back if they keep him there.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
