Naughton and JVR hitting packs and scattering oppo defenders would be a joy to behold

I'd be tempted to offer the 2 first rounders we receive from Freo and our own first rounder next year it that's what it takes

Make it happen MFC

    i'll put my hand up. Heard it from a sports journalist who heard it from a player. A reliable source but have no more info.

    Thanks for sharing @chook fowler.

    Can you share whether the player was from Melbourne or were they from the Dogs?

    Dees
    In: Naughton
    Out: Jackson, 3rd-4th rounder 

    Dogs
    In: Lobb, Tomlinson 
    Out: Naughton, 3rd-4th rounder 

    Freo
    In: Jackson
    Out: Lobb, x2 top 10 picks 

    Freo send Lobb, and two top 10 picks to dogs > Dees send Tommo+salary dump to Dogs, Jackson to Freo

    Naughton is a bit more than Jacko on the market due to his age bracket, playing history and current contract. Giving them Tomlinson on the cheap could benefit both teams if it made the deal happen.

    Hey, just checking, we're only running this thread to see if Tom Browne starts reporting it, right?

    If so, mods delete this post and let's play on.

    Where do the two top 10 picks go in this set up?

    They did, but then didn't include it in what Bulldogs received, so I didn't like it.

    So there's us allowing Tomlinson to seek a trade to the Bulldogs, whilst still under contract.

    There's how the feck do Fremantle satisfy our demands of two first rounders?

    Henry's seen on Clarry's instagram stories.

    Would all parties be satisfied with the following:

    Bulldogs give up Naughton. Bulldogs receive Lobb, a top 10 pick (via Melbourne) and Tomlinson.

    Melbourne gives up Jackson, Tomlinson & a top 10 pick. Melbourne receives Henry and Naughton.

    Fremantle gives up Lobb, Henry & a top 10 pick. Fremantle receives Jackson.

    Crazier things have happened.

    We then give up our future first rounder (hopefully end of first round) for Grundy.

    Grundy, Naughton and Henry would be a huge off season and change the face of our forward half.

    Ahhhhhh.... welcome premierships 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29...... 

    U KNOW THE REST!!!

    Heard a whisper that we are talking to him. 

    I would find it hard to imagine the Dogs trading him in the present circumstances. never know what might happen if they land Lobb.

    Massive downgrade with Lobster, no matter how many first rounders they get in the deal.

    Naughton is on $750,000 (apparently) at the dogs (would be worth more now considering this was a 2019 contract) and we are on the cusp of getting Grundy for about $600,000 or something?

     

    Ok.

    Why? Look at pragmatically. They have an excess of forward talent but are 2 key players short down back and probably another inside midfielder .

    I’d try to find a way to have Bont play more mid / half forward. He would be the hardest match up in the comp roaming around the forward half.2-3 goals per game and involved in another half down scoring chains.

    Ok. 

    I assume you are suggesting we can't afford naughton?

    We would have had to pay Jackson close to 750 to keep him i would have thought, so we have that money and 600k for Grundy is peanuts, so that's not an issue either. If Tomlinson went to the dogs, for example, that's 600k out the door for starters.  

    I'm assuming an advantage of having four long term contracts in Salem, Gus, Tracc and Oliver is that it creates opportunities for some creative accounting in terms of  balancing the books. For example they might have paid a big chunk up front so they had space nect year (for example to pay Jackson).

    Ask your mum and dad. It’s not appropriate for me to explain how it all works.

      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?

    • 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?

      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?
