I get the feeling the Swans would kill for a class midfielder capable of kicking goals. The Swans have stagnated, and need some icing on their hard working midfield

Luckily for us, we have icing by the bucketload

Green, Bruce and Johnstone

I reckon the Swans would love either one of those guys. We could make a trade with Swans into something very beneficial

But do the Swans have anything we want? I look at their list, and all I can think is that their 1st round pick is all I would want for one of the above three players

    Travis is probably the one they'd want to feed their forwards, one of which they might hope could be Robbo?

    This for their 1st rnd pick + a player, I don't know enough about their 2nds to pick from. :)

    Who would you like 'Yze_Magic', from the Swanny's young'ns? :mellow:

    Travis and Kirk would work together soooo well this is why we shouldnt give up Travis to Sydney. Come back to bite us in the arse.

    The only person i would trade for is Ryan O'Keefe absolute gun!

    We're disagreeing because we're seeing things from different time perspectives. I don't care about next season, high up the ladder wise. In fact I would much prefer to recruit a good No of young quality draftees, (If we can get 2 kids ready to play top footy next season), & finish around 7 or 8ish wins whilst still playing competative exciting footy will make me feel very optimistic about our flag future.

    But recruiting young Guns requires early selections & good recruiting management.

    Sydney's list is I think on a slow decline.

    Mate i'm not disaggreeing with you, i agree with your opinons but i for one disagree with trading Travis especially to the swans as I think Travis and Kirk would make a deadly combination aswell as the rest of the swans midfield. The swans are on a decline but they are still a quality side with a very good core but imo what teh swans need is a KPB and a knew FF to take some pressure off Hall and O'Loughlin.

    There's not too much that the swannies could offer us to satisfy our requirements when it comes to a trade for Trav.

    People need to keep in mind that there is no point in trading for trading sake.

    It would be one of those lovely trades with 3-4 way clubs involved.

    I for one would be dissapointed if we traded TJ....

    The guy has given me no end of frustration over the years, but it would be nice to see him have a solid pre-season and a great year next year!

    Seriously, Trav has no-one but himself to blame for even being touted as a potential trade! His work ethic and passion (from an outsiders view) has been well below par! People rave and rave about how good Chris Judd is.....

    Trav.... The only difference between you and the Juddernaut is the fact that he has sacrificed his lifestyle, worked his ar$e off, and realised his full potential....

    Please have a strong pre-season.... I realise injuries have knocked you around over the last few years (little niggles and bone problems) but get off the Pi$$ and show us the TJ we all know can win a Brownlow!!!!

    It looks like Sydney may hold onto Jolly, so they wouldn't immediately target a ruckman.

    Roos has always gone hard for a target in trade week and isn't adverse to trading any pick to get what he wants. Trapper fits the bill, in terms of their needs -their list is on limited time, Trav would make an immediate impact. If they offered their first pick for him I'd jump on it.

    Quite correct Graz about Sydney and the price is right for TJ.

    The only difference b/w Trav and Judd is daylight.

    You know what I have wanted TJ to have a strong pre-season for 9 seasons........still waiting.

    i read this on bigfooty i think i struck a liking to it...

    Pick 4 + maybe a sweetener like Miller/Jamar/pick37 to Freo

    Pick 7 + Ryan Murphy to MFC.

    we down grade out pick 3 spots, which will still leave us one of Rance, Henderson, McEvoy or Masten to choose from. and we gain Ryan Murphey, a true key forward we deperately need...

    Freo upgrade their pick to number 4, which will allow them to snap up Palmer or Masten (whoever they rate higher), both extremely highly rated Western Australians who will both almost definitely be gone by pick 7.

    this kind of astute trading is what we need.

    go dees

    Whats the big deal with Ryan Murphy?

    What has he done at AFL level? Nothing

    No way do I want to drop three spots in the draft to pick up a guy who has done nothing and will probbaly do nothing

    Ryan Murphey had an very impressive 2006 season. this season he plays well at wafl level but found it hard to make the seniors because tarrant basically took his position.

    freo have tarrant and pavlich as 2 big forwards so he could be a good pick up

    I think your dead right yze magic- trav or green or bruce (reluctant to trade green he wears his heart on his sleeve), trav is lazy and brucey can be too. I'd take their first round for trav...trav is slight, doesnt run hard enough defensively and pinpoints the kick on too many occassions. and yeah maybe a player as well

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
