Which trades would we consider?

[DeesFlag2020 90]

Isn’t it wonderful to be in the position now, where we are generally very comfortable about our current team. 
 

My only doubt would be about our players getting a older. Specifically, Hibbert’s stopping role, although that can be filled by our immediate reserves. 
 

Listening to SEN post the granny, the talk is filled with other teams ideas about how they improve their lists. Virtually none of them would improve our list. Clearly, we must not be complacent and fortunately no-one at the club appears to be that, but we also appear to be ever wishing to improve.

Your thoughts?

Firstly there should be a Forum trading period - any poster who cannot spell a premiership players name gets traded to GCS.

Hibbert really?  Its Hibbard, hubbard hippo ah fruit cake.  You know who i mean.

I think we need key position - lucky for may to get through with a torn hammie

We have some extraordinary talents residing in our lists - youthful, keen, capable of learning (quickly), ready for an opportunity. Thus, it is difficult to consider how we can improve our lot; largely, it should be from our younger players who mostly reside at Casey. Perhaps, this coming season, recruitment is not as important as it has been in the past.

I agree on Hibberd mellowing somewhat but also, TMac has noticeably shied from the competitive edge that he has displayed - particularly against other 'top sides'. We have some possible replacements for both of these journey-men of the MFC. A key CHF (in the old terms) would be a handy pickup should Tom not get back to his best. 

Not really expecting a great deal from the recruits as presented for the up-coming round of argy-bargy. If we are going to create a dynasty of the Demon, we'd most probably be better served by retaining and intensifying further development of the tickled red 'n blue genome from amongst all of our astutely selected and obtained youth. These players are really a potent lot already bricking the foundations of the Club's medium-term potentials.

Sorry, have I missed something?

Didn't the trade period finish last week?

Cerra wants out of Fremantle, could we get a deal done?

I'm reliably told by those in the know that we can't get the deal done. While he was considering us, Carlton are now in the box seat as they are the only one that can get it done with their pick 6.
