I'd be genuinely staggered if it was a straight swap.

I'd be doing cartwheels down the street on the way to Tim Lamb's house to drop off a slab type of surprised.

But I hope you're right!

Yeah it'd be a good trade for us for sure, but the situation is tipped in our favour I reckon.

It's just a suggestion rather than a rumour anyway.

    I like Maynard and he would make us better. However I would rather use whatever space is left in the cap or draft position to target a mid. I think it is a bigger priority for us

    I would have thought a young key forward to develop would be our highest priority - particularly if Weid and Mitch Brown end up not on our list in 2022

    Collingwood will want a late 1st rounder potentially. They want to build through the draft again and Maynard is probably worth that. If they can get Daicos early on with another later 1st rounder then I think they'll be happy with that.

    Maynard is a gun, he was named in the All Australian squad last year, so Collingwood have every right to play hard ball as well considering he's still contracted.

    He's also a 'pre-agent' so Collingwood would be pretty silly to play hard ball if he requests a trade. He'll then walk next year, and if it's to us he won't be getting huge money so their prime time for getting decent compensation is now.

    Given where Daicos will go surely they'll want a future first or a player need, otherwise they risk any picks being eaten up.

    Yeah but they'll back their system in to keep him especially if he warms to the new coach like its been reported about him wanting to wait to see who coaches Collingwood.

    Adelaide are red hot for Maynard also and would be more then willing to pay big money for him if he does walk. They've got the salary and space to pay above for someone like Maynard. So there's a high chance the pies could still net a mid to late first rounder.

    Lol Weed for Maynard straight swap would have me in tears. 

    I'd love us to be able to work our way up to try and get Mac. 

    Looking at his highlights he is unreal

    So being reported that Clarko wont coach until 2023. I cannot see Teague sticking around - absolute shambles for the Blues.

    Having said that, i think we really chase Cerra hard as he'd be an out-an-out [censored] to go to the Blues at this rate. He is young and is an up and coming star and would surely be wanting to go somewhere that isnt rebuilding. His asking price is high though and i think if we can get him on a 1.0 - 1.2 (total), 2 year deal as a 'bridging' contract then it might be possible salary cap wise - frankly he doesn't deserve a 750K / year deal yet - maybe in his next contract and the Blues will insanely be making the same Martin / Saad / Williams mistake once more. 

    If we can score Cerra and Maynard at the cost of Weid + 2nd rounder  to the Pies , future 1st and <another player> to Freo that would be an absolute massive win. Yes i know - lots of ifs and buts here, but we can take a harder line than most given our success on field this year. Also, if it doesnt happen, im not too fussed as im happy with the 22- 28 players on our list. 

    We still need to solve the long term issue around a KPF but we have 1-2 years at least with BBB / TMac. Possibly make a play for Ben King in 2023.

    Gut feel is the club would like to keep Weid given the ages of TMac and Brown, but given the last couple of weeks (non-selection) I think maybe he's told them he'd like to go elsewhere for more consistent opportunity.

    Nev, do you really think he'd be dumb enough to do that when we have finals still to play? After maybe, but surely not before.

    I think players and list managers are pretty open during the year. Both parties would want to know what's happening well before now, most deals are in the works well before the end of the season.

    It's a professional industry, I don't think these things are as emotional for clubs and players as they are for us.

    We don't have the picks or salary to satisfy Freo/Cerra.

    He ain't coming to Melbourne.

    can't fault your optimism at least.

    Collingwood still have salary cap issues, especially with Moore and DeGoey being free agents next year so if Maynard did request a trade I can't see there being too much pushback from the pies and small/medium defenders is one of their strongest positions on the ground. 

    That being said though I rate Maynard extremely highly, I view him as a top 3 negating small/medium defender in the comp who can also find the footy with ease and use it well, I'd be more than happy to give up our future 1st for him would be a deal that benefits both clubs, gotta remember he's only 24! I rate Weideman much less than others on here I just don't see his ceiling: he doesn't have a ground level game, he's an inconsistent mark, and an inconsistent shot at goal, I'd be more than happy to let him go in any deal that benefits our best 22. I'd offer them Weideman + Future 1st for Maynard + Sidebottom, which I think greatly benefits both clubs.

    Haven’t watched much of st kilda games this year 

    hows Luke Dunstan been?

    surprised by this call

    played some good footy toward the end of year

    played a great game vs Pies and one I remember vs tigers where they gave them half of the 'G just to run around. 

    he's a handy player and would be a good fit at Freo/GC or even Pies while they all climb. 

    don't think he's exactly what we need and defensively he'd need a big shake up. 

    I can't see us adding any more mids to our team from FA

    Tracc, Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Langdon, Jordon, Harmes, Sparrow, Rivers (might get a look next year).

    It's pretty full at the moment.

    Got to kick those tyres. Gunston is a gun.

    We would struggle to field all of Fritsch, Brown, T Mac and Gunston ...

    Wonder what they are thinking...

    Question marks on the sustainability of McDonald's form would be my guess. Had an awesome year but hard to trust a bloke long term when he's gone missing for seasons.

    Let alone Weideman. Sounds like his  cards are marked if this is to be believed.

    Maynard would be a brilliant get. Replacement for Hibbo but also gives us a lot of options to push Rivers or Bowey to the middle or half 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.

      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?
