You can't request a trade if no clubs are interested in recruiting you

    I’m not sure he would go as a ruck.  I don’t think his body would hold up. 
    I’d have him at the Dees in a heartbeat

    Laughable by Oscar. 

    More chance he'll have to fill out a delisted free agency form then get a trade.. 

    Happy to get rid of both.

    Omac would be lucki to be recruited by an aus kick side.

    TBF, he's out of contract and may have just said he'd like to try for more opportunity elsewhere.

    which would be quite understandable

    given the quality of key position defenders in the league i can definitely see him getting an opportunity elsewhere

    Trade table - Pruess, OMac, TMac, ANB, Smith

    Delist/Retire - Jones, Jetta, KK, Bradkte, Dunkleyor Brown, Wagner x 2 

    Targets - Moore, mature Sml Fwd (Bruest?)

    Role Changes - Harmes back to mid/tagging role; Viney to be split between fwd pockett and mid; if no trade for TMAC send to CHB and Tomlinson to wing

    List changes - Promote Lockhart and Bennell; Demote Neitschke to Rookie

    Why would you trade our back-up ruck and also de-list our development ruck?

    And if you're going to de-list a Category B development ruck after a couple of seasons then why ever bother putting one on the list in the first place?

    Pruess:

    Would be interesting to see the trade value of Preuss. With Jackson coming in he seems like he will be the second ruckman from now on. He is valuable as a second ruckman on the list but would probably be valuable for a team like GWS who is desperate need of a first ruckman.

    Where did you hear about this one @Lord Nev?

    And no doubt we'll be picking up a portion of TMacs salary. Who is in charge of contracts, Mahoney I assume? For all his ability to get things done at the trade table I think his willingness to hand out exorbitant contracts that hamstring our list management is a massive cross against him. Not to mention his management of our assistant coaches/footy department.

    It makes sense for them to seek a trade considering they are obviously considered no more than depth for us moving forward. I mean if OMac is behind Smith and TMac is behind Brown they'll see nothing but games at windswept Casey in their futures if they stay with us. Only problem is not sure who would be interested in them.

    I’m sure this decision of the McDonald’s didn’t come today, hence why we’ve seen little of them. Good result for both parties
     

    Would hope we can move to a more agile taller forward line. Gunston would be number one target for me and Mihocek close second. One of those two and a silky small would make us a very different team next year

    Would be great to see the back of Melksham

    If Max were to go down next year (touch wood), would we really want to give the job to Jacko? That's a fair load for a 2nd year player. Isn't this the main reason why we got Preuss from Norf, as ruck insurance?

    Having said that, if GWS did offer up something that improved the needs of our list it would certainly be tempting. 

    I'm in the camp that thinks Preuss can still improve and hold down an AFL first ruck role

    Unless he wants out, I would keep him

    i think that's the thing tho - he should be a starting ruck somewhere

    he'll likely never be that at the dees

    he said when he joined us that it was as much about 'learning' from the best as much as anything

    he'll definitely have value you'd think

    Straight swap for Cockatoo. if we can get him fit he'd be a good player for us, Cats need a ruckman like Press desperately.

    I would let Jacko take the ruck and bring in Brown as the 3rd tall with Weid and Petty.

    Petty was training with the forwards before he done his groin so I expect him to be a 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?
