We'd effectively be paying around $500k for pick 8... certainly worth considering

Have not watched GWS in a while. How is Haynes playing these days.

Pity he's not a forward

No to Haynes, yes to Taylor.

    Unfortunately Taylor ain't going nowhere 

    Would we take Haynes in a salary dump? Turn his $1mill+ final year into 2 x $650k and get their top 10 pick???

    Think the afl have tweaked the rules so you can't smooth out contracts in these sort of deals. We would have to take a full $1mill hit.

    So is Harley Reid a potential difference-maker like Gawn, Petracca or Oliver?

    If so, take the punt and secure the player.  We might have to pay overs with regards to draft picks but that's the price you have to pay

    We're a team in contention so to make that an ongoing feature, adding a star enhances our attributes

    Why fall out of the window?

    He is,  have a limit we are willing to pay and if WC want more, walk away and get the next best kid.

    there are some good kids after him, but GC also have some of them wrapped up through academy.

    Latest article on it says AFL are talking about salary dump meaning you can only smooth out 20% of the salary. 
     

    I like the trade as Haynes would be an upgrade on 3rd tall defender with Petty forward and give our younger developing defenders time to develop while we compete for premierships

    You are not buying Haynes you are buying the pick or picks that come with him.

    What if you got their first pick and Riccardi, for taking him and his salary for a year?

    You would clear off an extra player or two and bring in draftees on small payments which cover that one year.

    Sorry Redleg, I haven't had a chance to read the thread or convo just yet mate, just saw Haynes' name mentioned so said no, at his age.

    I understand that, as for a straight get Haynes deal, I would agree, it’s the steak knives that could be very sharp, that could make it attractive.

    Interesting. A 20% discount brings Haynes salary down to $960k. Grundy is on $650k.  One other senior / experienced player leaving would free up the remaining salary cap needed.

    Harmes. Get rid of him.

    So @Mach5 what I think you meant to say is that premiership player, and lifelong Demons supporter, James Harmes is currently on the fringes of our best 22. Therefore, a move to another club where he would get more game time could be in his best interests. This, in turn, would give our Football department more flexibility in negotiating a deal such as muted by @BigMacjnr and @Romey.

    Couldn’t care less who he supported growing up. He’s a passenger & we need to move him on.

    That's ok, means we have 5 and our 1st. Trade up and it might be 2 x top 10 picks. Would've been nice to get Reid, but the alternative is also very good

    Make things very interesting with what the AFL will now do with regards to a hand out to North. Can’t see them giving pick two for McKay as way overs and that would totally screw over WC as North would get Reid and Curtain. 
    North not getting an extra pick at point end of first helps us. 
    Also North now going to get Reid is there any point in them getting access to Sanders as they are already stacked with young talent in the middle.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
