would take their future second round pick

Agreed, unless they offer a half-decent player in return.

    Giants will most likely get pick 28 for Corr, which of course will be eventually pushed out to 30+ after academy bids and further compensation picks for Daniher and Williams.

    I'd imagine that's what we'll be after but Giants will play hardball and only offer 39.

    As an alternative, could we offer Preuss + 23 for Caldwell?

    Edit: Giants have clearly identified him as a need and intend to play him as a starting 22 player. As he is contracted for another 2 years, we shouldn't be accepting anything less than significant improvement in our draft hand or a best 22 player ourselves. Otherwise keep Preuss and starve GWS of an opportunity to improve their list.

    2nd Edit: Giants are also likely to receive pick 29 from Adelaide for Hately. Might make moving on a second rounder easier for them.

    Yes I think the Corr compo which will end up around 32-33 will be the likely trade deal. That’s fair business and should get it done.  
     

    Preuss was a good backup but he should be playing as a number 1 ruckman now. Good luck to him.

    The original trade was Tyson to North for Preuss and pick 60-something from memory.

    While it will go against the view of some, I'm expecting market value would be a 3rd-rounder for him, and anything better than that would be a bonus.

    While I understand GWS' need for a ruck, he's still not very good.

    josh kelly + jarman impey = dom tyson + christian salem + jayden hunt

    dom tyson = brayden preuss + marty hore

    preuss = ?

    interesting they have come out so early. A good sign and they would know MFC are reasonable to deal with so we sold get it done. mid second rounder would be a good return, but a better option would be to snag a young talent off their list

    Please keep this bit quiet. They don't know and we don't want them to know.

    39 in unders.

    The Corr pick looks the go. Failing that their future second.

    They’re losing players so can’t see them including in a deal. Plus we should be targeting proven players and none of Caldwell, O’Halloran fit the bill. They may become good players but I want a player for the here and now.

    If we trade Preuss to GWS, we should insist that Caldwell is part of the deal. They have lost Corr and Davis is nearing the end, so there could be some interest in Oscar as part of a deal, if we are looking at moving him on. Oscar would probably appreciate more chances to play as well.  Losing Preuss leaves us vulnerable if Max goes down, so it has to be a win for us to release him.  
    Preuss would be number 1 ruck for GWS, so if he goes there we need a best 22 player for us. 
    BTW there are more Caldwell types out there than Preuss types, so while not as good a footballer, Preuss is extremely valuable to clubs that need his attributes.

    Daniels, please.

    Giants first pick is 39 as far as i can tell.. is Pruess worth more than 39 simply because of demand and he is contracted.. would GWS part with their first pick in the draft for him? Very interesting negotiating to be done. IMO he is worth slightly more than 39 which could end up mid 40s by the time it gets to us. They may get a second rounder for Caldwell.. could we demand that?

    We'll want a player.

    No interest in a pick for a mature age ruckman who will be first 22 for GWS.
    Would be very interested if we could get Brisbane involved for a player like Witherden.

    #whispers Jye Caldwell will nominate St. Kilda, with negotiations continuing on length of offer. A great get for a young, building Saints...

    Good luck at GWS - do me a favour, please? In the act of trying to spoil a mark from Mumford, do a Jamie Shanahan and whack him in the scone

    Cheers

    He also wants to leave.

    3rd round.

    Very disappointing that Caldwell has nominated Saints. 
    I would be unhappy if we took a low pick, unless that pick has been agreed as the trade price for a player we want from else where.

    Anything inside 40 would be huge, an upgrade from a pick 60 in to the 45-50 range seems more likely to me.

    If we were to get a player out of GWS we probably would've heard about it by now.

    Because the vast majority of player movements are organised well ahead of time and then haggled over during the trade period.

    14 teams are done for the year and there's already 40+ names lined up

    You are right that most player movements are known before being made official, however there are exceptions. I don't think there was any speculation about Tyson, Bugg or McKenna prior to our trades with GWS. And with them being our trading partner yet again, and with the Giants forever in a state of players being starved of opportunities, there is every chance a fringe player could be involved.

    If it's a player, I reckon they'll try and push Langdon unfortunately. Would love Daniels

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
