If he comes cheaply, he'd be handy. Pushes Isaac Smith to the wing and Brodie off half back.

    I don’t know enough about Brodie Smith, but if he is a walk up start to a half back role, then are we assuming either Salem and/or Rivers are likely to have different roles in 2021 further up the ground (ie: delivering into the f50)

    a significantly better player than saad for mine

    Yes, at his best he's a great user of the footy...

    Hasn't been as potent after the knee.

    What is Brodie Smith worth as a trade to Adelaide? Does anyone have a sense as to his realistic value? How do people see us potentially able to get Brodie, Brown and use a future pick plus players for GWS 1st round compensation pick?

    With this years 2nd round pick looking likely to secure Brown, we'd certainly have to get creative to facilitate a trade. I don't think he's worth a 1st round pick, certainly not GWS' compensation pick which will be around pick 9 (if that even eventuates in a trade for Preuss). If what people have said is true, we're looking at taking a pick like that to the draft for Finlay Macrae. Maybe next years 2nd pick gets it done or even next year's first with extras coming back could get it done?

    Smith is 29 next year. Couldn't be worth more than a 3rd rounder for a club that is rebuilding. Tmac might get us this pick needed. ANB might be used here also. 

    Brown for pick 23

    GWS will have a number of picks around that 9-15 mark after Williams, Cameron and Caldwell all get traded. I can see us packaging up a few picks (not necessarily next years 1st as I think this is overs) with Preuss and maybe another player (VDB maybe) to get one of these picks.

    Would ANB would be bundled in this trade?

    Not expecting a huge cost. but his best is very good, backing him to get back to his best. 

    he adds some dash to our half back line which we do need. Hibberd hasn't provided quite as much as he did at his best.

    I think this is the key barrier to some movement happening this off season, our lack of trade currency. If we can find suitors for the likes of the McDonalds, that'll enable us to get some of these deals done, otherwise it'll be an interesting time.

    Why is Smith not to play on wing ?'

    Has never played half back even remotely Ruth Hawks!

    I like Salem Up forward and Riv  will Play HB mostly with an occasional trip up the ground perhaps when required.

    Yes at 29 he may not want to go through the Crows rebuild. We might tempt him with a 3 year deal and a chance to be part of the finals action. I’d happily swap him directly for Tmcd and throw in the future 4th round pick that was the vogue in 2019 swaps.

    And we definitely don't need a post from you in every new player thread telling us what we need.

    Brodie Smith is a good player, who was on my list of players we should target. I would not offer a long contract though. 2 years max.

    • 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?
