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

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
