    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....

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

     

  • Quote

    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

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
