The age saying it was Angus Brayshaw.

The same Angus that just signed a 6 year deal?

The ball moves faster than the players. I'd rather the ball in a slower player's hands with quick vision and decision making than those of Baker any day

But I too hoped TB would stay

Pace is still an asset when it comes to defensive pressure and transitioning. But I'm not fazed by TB's departure, and expect Baker to be delisted. Would be nice to have some ready made replacements who have leg speed.

I'm glad they're moving fringe players on.

Keep turning the list over.

 

GWS are going to have a sh*t load of picks this year with Taranto, Hopper, Bruhn and Hill out.  Maybe they'd take our future 2nd + Bedford for 21 and we could on trade 21 to Collingwood for Grundy.  That would be a nice deal all around.

There's a theme here with our history of rucks with the players you've named

All these players have been skinny raw ruckman based more on athletic potential over footballing ability. 

This strategy has simply not worked and Jason Taylor needs to change tactic with this.

And yet Brisbane's McInerney was toiling away under our nose at Casey, almost a free hit!

We have a very good trading partnership with GWS. Hopefully they will agree to this deal, but it seems too good to be true.

How so?  We have no more claim on Casey players than any of the other 17 clubs.

#37 in rookie draft 2017. that's pretty much a free hit. and we had all the inside info, or should have had

definitely one we let through to the keeper

 

A future 2nd & minor shuffling for Bobby Hill. Surely GWS just flick that our way for Toby. Seems about correct weight.

No,  Bedford isn't worth the same as Hill.  And GWS will say that too,  they might give us that pick but we will have to give them another later pick too

How is Hill worth more?

They are recruiting Toby to play, not for depth in their reserves. They are giving him 3 years. He’s worth a 2nd round pick.

GWS have plenty of picks this year (after the Hill and Taranto trades they have 3, 12, 19, 21, 43, 58, 60) and no gun academy players so they have no use for any later picks from us

So this means throw them away?  He is a late 3rd at best wich is 58,  if we are lucky they offer us 43

Nah, he is worth more that that. As far as I am aware, we have offered him a contract. I presume a 2 year one. 

GWS are offering more money and more years. He isnt homesick. He has been targeted as a need by a rival interstate club. He isn't worth much but its more than 58.

I is out of contract and played 3 actual AFL games, and didn't nudge the side for the 2nd half of the year.

Pick 70,  hasn't cemented his spot.  Sorry he isn't worth much.  Might be Targeted but they aren't going to pay overs for him.  He is targeted because he is a cheap option.

Uh, mate... do your calcs again.
43 is a 3rd rounder.

We offered him 3 years too.

Yeh mate,  never said it wasn't.  It's an early 3rd which is why I said we would be lucky if they offered it too us

Yeh at what we can pay him,  which wouldn't be alot.  GWS can pay slightly more and is more opportunity for him there.  

The reason they are interested is because of his value

I agree with the bold. I guess what we disagree on is what is 'much'.

Pick 58 isn't anything of value at all. It's possible that pick 58 wouldn't be used at all. We used pick 65 last year on Woewodin as the last pick in the draft.

A pick in the 40s isn't much. I guess we will find out soon enough.


Yes and we can't just parlay pick 57, 61 and 70 into a trade for a second round pick for instance. Doesn't quite work that way.

seems about right, just got to combo some picks to get Grundy

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    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?
