Don't see this helping us. WC are going to want to keep a pick in the top 10 this year. Which only leaves their F1 and ports F1 on offer for us? 

West Coast could trade 8 for Freo’s 13 and North’s pick if they’re really down on this draft. Wouldn’t be crazy. Slide back twice and own next years top 25

Doubt they’re in on Jackson, but it might help us if they dangle 8 and Port’s first and make Freo work harder

    Not really keen on Cadman personally. I wonder whether we'd be interested in Rueben Ginbey (another WA kid, I know). 

    We are interested in him,  Tim Lamb watched him live and he has been spoken to by us.

    He has been on our radar since last season

    Can't see how they get Bruhn then. Pick 18 won't cut it, and you wouldn't accept their future first given it could be the same pick.

    Henry has more currency than Bruhn IMO. Bruhn hasn’t done much to really validate his talent at first round level. But 18 and change for one, future 1st and change for the other should get the deals done.

    Love these titbits mate.

    Really want this kid but can't see it happening unless we can really work our way up into the top 5.

    I don't think Dogga has found his best role (as opposed to position) within the Melbourne side. Is he best competing in the ruck contest, or roving around as a tall, competitive  mid or kicking goals deep? We all see his potential and upside, but we don't know how far that will extend. With maturity and experience he will find that role and hopefully become the star that people talk of.

    That is what we are trading upon, not that he is comparable atm to Grundy, Carey,  Dusty or Gawn

    I see him as potentially becoming a Joe Daniher-type, but a version of Joe Daniher that is actually a good footballer.

    I think the consensus has always been that, if they are bring Jackson in, the AFL would sign off on it. 

    As a side note - with no intent to derail this wonderfully entertaining thread -  i wonder how many times this sentence has been repeated on DL. Which begs the bigger and more important question, what is the most repeated one liner ever on DL.

    Rueban won’t go Top 10 IMO, Busslinger will be the first WA boy picked

    Out: 2, Rioli

    In: 8, 10-15

    Makes sense. Seems to fit the competitive animal mould, has positional flexibility so can start out as a defender at AFL level.

    Ah my bad, I was referring to Cadman rather than Ginbey. I do recall you mentioning earlier in the year about us talking to Ginbey prior to the champs. Our talent spotters really are on the ball.

    I still can’t see how Freo can give us an acceptable deal for LJ. This will drag right out into next week

    It is amusing that given how much this trade was talked about in the lead up to trade week, it feels all but forgotten in trade week.

    How on God's earth is JHF worth pick 2!!!

    Then what is LJ worth...

    Thats what I don't get. LJ was a highly speculative pick at 3 yet he has excelled with an excellent CV. Almost universally predicted to be a 10 year superstar.

    JHF? Really? A muppet that needs to grow up

    Yes indeed. Freo have no decent currency 

    Do they expect the deal to just happen?

    Would LJ play another 1-2 years with us if Freo cannot come up with a suitable Trade??

    Jackson has a lot of growing up to do too. He’s a big talent but a lot of its potential as well. He’s has a cruisy start playing back up to Max. Has a heap of work to become the ruck/midfielder he can be.

    JHF is a top flight midfielder/forward, the most valuable role in the game. Had a stinker of year in a disaster or a club but he’s still got next Danger, next Tracc type player written all over him. Port are getting a steal if it’s 8 and a moderate future first.

    GWS are loaded with picks and won’t use all of them. They will take 18. I think from memory they have 3, 12, 15, 19 already in first round. 18 would give them 5 and then  Hopper picks to come.

    A trade will be done, whether its suitable or not. He's already moved back to WA. We're not going to let him walk, so we'll just be going with whoever offers us the best out of freo or WC. At least he has the decency to let us get the better of two options.

    Yes I know all that. But we have already said that we expect Top 10 Picks in return. Freo are nowhere near that.

    WC could be though. And plenty of times clubs don't get their desired return, especially when the player is out of contract. The clubs will reach a compromise. 

    Jeremy Cameron went for 13, 15, 20 with two second round picks (32, 35) coming back. He was a proven player and a 9x leading goal kicker for the giants. I think LJ trade could be similar to that, except I think 15 turns into a top 10 pick next year instead.

    Having lots of picks doesn't mean you accept unders in a deal though. Bruhn was pick 12, pick 18 isn't equitable.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
