    Nick Haynes (GWS) is on a reported 1.2m-1.5m in his final year. 

    GWS have gone on record saying they would cover some of his cap. 

    Would you take him on a 2 year deal (2nd year would be peanuts circa 300-400K) if GWS paid 500K + Pick 15? Or something along those lines. Would you take his full salary if GWS offered Pick 6? 

    If we have the cap space this year due to Grundy leaving and its not going to be spent why wouldn't you do it? it would add some back line depth as well. 

    Then you could goto GCS and say Pick 13,15,39 (2800 pts) for Pick 4.

    What do you reckon?

    Future first (14-18 hopefully), 25 and 39 for 10 and maybe some future late picks.

    Doesn’t immediately help the Suns with points but they’ll be able on trade the future 1 for more.

    Don’t love that deal for us because with 5 and 13 we’ll be having a lot of picks in the same range of the draft. And a range I don’t love.

    I’d only want 10 if we can package two of 5/10/13 in to someone in the premium range of this draft.

    I'd almost prefer to trade out of 13 in exchange for a future first + change given how this draft is shaping up. I'm not enamoured with any prospect likely to be available in the teens.

    Sit at 5 and pray McKercher falls, then pocket the extra asset for next year when we may be in a position to make a play for a true ceiling raiser (see - Z.Butters) or have a dip in a more favourable draft (have conducted zero research on next year's crop, but I assume it's less compromised at the top end than this one).

    Our biggest list gaps to fill:

    1. Mature KPF (but not too mature)
    2. Inside/outside mid with pace and kicking skills
    3. KPB apprentice (May replacement)

    Filling the gaps:

    1. Trade. This year or next, who knows?
    2. Draft. McKercher / Sanders
    3. Draft. O'Sullivan / Murphy

    Using later picks to help pick 13 crib up to a pick that will get O'Sullivan would be fine by me.

    With potential arrivals of McAdam and Fullerton, and departures of Jordon, Grundy, D Smith, Hibbo, Dunstan and likely Harmes, just update on analyzing our list 

    key defenders: May, Petty*, Tomlinson (K.Turner) (Adams) 

    tall defenders: Lever, D.Turner, Joel Smith*

    med/sml/running defenders: Rivers, Bowey, Salem, Mcvee

    inside Mids: Petracca, Oliver, Viney, Brayshaw, Sparrow, Laurie 

    outside Mids: Langdon, Hunter, Woey jnr, (Howes)

    key forwards: JVR, Petty*, BBB#,Tmcd# , Schache, Fullerton (Jefferson) 

    tall forwards: Fritsch, Joel Smith, Melksham# (Sestan) 

    small forwards: ANB, Pickett, Spargo, Chandler, McAdam , (ANW) 

    Rucks: Gawn (Verrell) (Farris-White) 

    I think aside from a legitimate back up ruckman, we are well covered in most areas. If we have 3-4 list spots, I’d like to grab the elite ball users in the draft group this year. If we get three in the top 20 this year, it’s a handy refresh to the list and then look to use $$$ next year for a high quality free agent buy in.

    Lachie Schultz apparently being approached by the pies, would love for us to have a huge crack at him, I’m sure we could easily satisfy the dockers in a trade and he would pair perfectly with Kozzie up forward.

    Yeah he has nominated the filth, would definitely prefer him to MacAdam.

    Confirmed in the Age

    Fremantle small forward Lachie Schultz has asked for a move to Collingwood.

    The Docker, who kicked 33 goals this season and 30 goals in 2022, informed the Dockers on Monday that he wants to move to Victoria.

    That is a weird choice. They are overstocked with the small/medium forward. He is essentially the same player as Elliot. 

    Can you play Hill, Elliot, Schultz, McCreary, McStay, Mihochek, Ginnivan and their 2nd ruck in the forward line. Ginnivan probably makes way. Johnson stuck in the VFL and still you have an extra.

    I think Dan McKenzie OOC at St.Kilda can play.  Has been injured for quite a while but if he passes a medical I'd be keen.

    Surprised Harmes hasn’t decided what he wants to do.

    Doubt it’s his decision, clubs are probably weighing up other options first. 

    Ie. Essendon pull interest if they land Duursma. Richmond pull interest unless Port pay up for Soldo etc.

    Love the spin and lying.

    Bombers say they will not trade Shiel as he is part of their future.

    Later revealed that Saints went cold on him, because of his surgeries and injuries.

    Really loved hearing Lamby's response to the question posed during a trade week interview about Grundy.

    Sydney clearly low balling us and Lamby has played a classic straight bat drive through the V for four.

    "He's a contracted player if a deal can't get done he can continue on with us" Or words to that affect.

    In the words of Dennis Denuto      F'n Brilliant from Lamby

    Absolutely loved it to bits, so Sydney come to the party or Grundy is held to his contract, simples.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
