Maynard from the pies is on the way to the dees apparently- I have no other info and are not sure how we would make it happen but industry inside info is the source . 

Mate of a mate mates .

Always with a grain of salt but there it is .

Possibly due to the difference in salaries between first round picks and later picks/rookies I guess?

I for some reason thought newly drafted players were on a fixed wage for their first two seasons. Regardless, if they are in such a position I would love to know hiw they were allowed to get there in the first place. Years ago when we put our hand up for extra financial assistance from the AFL we had to show them the books so to speak. I agree with BDA, this experiment hadn’t worked and neither will 19 teams, off to Tassie for them!

As Fat Tony pointed out, it's probably just a small part of a big picture it seems. Someone else mentioned they haven't managed their list sizes as well.

With Roosy rating him highly, and after watching 'Making Their Mark', I think Stewy Dew could be a great coach but just seems everything around him is managed so so badly.

I thought he said he wanted to stay at the Pies.

Maynard would be a great get. Perfect Hibbo replacement and allows us to move Rivers into the middle where I think he will eventually settle. 
Can’t see how we make it happen unless Pies are desperado for cap space or more picks to get Daicos.

Maynard will be at Collingwood next season at the end of which he becomes a RFA. A deal may get done then, it certainly won’t this trade period. The talk of Maynard leaving this year was just old mate Kane Cornes stirring the pot. The [censored] known as Brad Hardie also suggested that Maynard will join the Dee’s during this trade period.

So you're saying it's a done deal?

Jaysus - cant we take Daniel MacPherson and pick 19 for a 4th rounder?

 

We could if we had the cap space to to accommodate the macpherson salary dump but not many teams could, particularly after the recent cut backs etc

May be an image of text that says "FOX St Kilda FC @stkildafc With Facebook down, how are we supposed to get unsolicited trade advice now? #AFLTrade St Kilda FC Oh wait, it's back. List Managers everywhere can breathe sigh of relief."

That's a pretty good one, St Kilda, but your list management has been pretty ordinary, so it might be a good idea to get some help from somewhere.

Why is everyone wanting to go to the blues?  Must be hitting cap and list number issues by now, surely!

If its a salary dump which the pies need in order to move on plus a future 1st rounder and sweetener then it is possible. We seem to have space in the cap given the Cerra approach

Given some of their top 10 trade misses in recent years they probably shouldn't be joke too much about it ...

Yeah with you, i'd trust randoms on facebook a bit more than the Saints recruiting team over the stretch 

Billings over Bont

McCartin over Trac/Brayshaw

the list just goes on.

Something doesn't add up

How were they potentially keen on Treloar last year, and now how a salary cap that's stuffed to the point they're forced to do salary dumps?

Its called FIFS...... Fiscally, Insolvent, Footballing, Suicide. AFLs Basket Case! Just close the joint down and admit Tasmania!😏

I had a different take of him watching 'Making Their Mark' - didn't come across as someone that has a really strong presence about him when talking with the players. Small sample though

Yeah fair enough, I just came away from it liking how he related to players and seemed a 'relationship' style coach.

Leon Cameron on the other hand....

Agree with that

 

According to the Hun Kade Chandler met with the Crows last week.

 

The 22-year-old Stengle parted ways with the Crows at the start of this season but has gone on to star for Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL. He kicked 44 goals in 19 matches including three goals in the Grand Final win over Glenelg last weekend.

As Stengle is a delisted free agent the Cats could pick him up without having to deal with the Crows, but would have to fight off reported interest from Melbourne, Collingwood and for a return to the Tigers. AFL.com.au

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
