'07 TRADE TABLE & SCHEDULE.

[re draft molan 1]

I'd have thought we were all aware of Rivers' light frame and short stature being the only drawback to his being in the upper echelon of KPPs.

In terms of body structure Rivers is a boy compared to Maguire .

I'm not sure why you're comparing Rivers to Maguire. As far as talent, Rivers is head and shoulders above Maguire, big bodied or not big bodied!

Are you joking ?

[Rogue 585]

Should we be targeting a player who is no improvement on our current CHB? Remember Jared Rivers?

I remember him, and would be very happy if he was released to third tall.

[demoniac 1,330]

Maguire turned 23 in May, 190 and 98kg

Rivers is 23 in October, 192cm and 90kg

Maguire could hold down Centre Half Back - and play on gorillas - allowing Rivers to use his rare ability to read the play and his overhead marking to be the third man up and be our effective defensive quarterback.

If it was a trade would not come cheap.

Are you joking ?

I was going to ask you the same question.

Henry Playfair

cant get into the cats top side would he be worth a shot:?

Playfair's game yesterday at CHB (VFL Grand Final), was pretty impressive. Probably his best position. Seems much more comfortable there than up forward. Certainly wotrh a look at. Big, strong, mobile and reasonable judgment.

[beelzebub 23,313]

what were the nature of the Octopus's injuries that put him out ?

[Demons 32 235]

Quote:

Maguire- Gone (does not like Ross Lyon....because he does not rate him)

Thomas didn't either. Or at least not half as much as he rates himself.

Quote:

Either way, get him while he's cheap."

He'd be cheap for a reason- he's a 'C Grader', but people (and the big GOOOOOOSE himself) believe he's an 'A Grader' for the simple fact that James Brayshaw likes the way his nickname rolls of his tongue. Regular appearances on The Footy Show and Triple M radio can't hide the fact that he is a very, very ordinary footballer.

If the people over there at St. Kilda don't rate him, why should we?

Don't believe the hype.

I watch tons of Saints games cause the misses whole family barracks for them (except for her, converted, good girl).

Goose is a terrific player.

[Little Goffy 14,447]

I'd be stoked to pick Goose put in the PSD, but couldn't be stuffed trading for him.

My big trade predictions for the Demons -

Pick 4 & 21 plus Colin Syvlia to West Coast for Chris Judd and pick 32.

Pick 37 and Jamar to Hawks for pick 30.

Pick 29 and Miller to Carlton for pick 20.

That leaves one more trade, a big name player so we can get back an early draft pick.

Robertson-Bulldogs and Johnstone-Fremantle are all that have been talked about so far.

One of those and pick 32 should get us a top ten?

If we trade Jamar obviously it becomes crucial that we take a decent ruckman in the draft, even if he only plays four games this year. Unless we're banking that Holland will provide depth for FF, FB and ruck at the same time!!

Anyway, Ben McEvoy, COME ON DOWN!

That would be one of... six, seven, draft picks, most of which would be around the 60+ pick (So you know, Bruce, Hird, that sort of player) even after you allow for Bode.

My draft preferences still lean towards Rance & McEvoy, come what may.

Maguire has just signed a two year deal with St Kilda.......damn !!!

[Springfield Isotopes 0]

Goose is a terrific player.

My whole family are saints supporters, except me of course, and goose is the big bodied kpp we need, he is also a good long kick of the footy. With him in the team we can give frawley the time he needs to bulk up and bring him in for carrol in 2 years

[WonnaJurah 5]

whats the next offer on table

jamar to cats for king?

[Redleg 40,831]

Maguire is big , strong , talented and dirty - EXACTLY what we need !

Agreed. If we got him for pick 21 and missed on Judd but after clearing Robbo ended up with with 2 picks inside 10 I would be happy.

[Redleg 40,831]

Maguire has just signed a two year deal with St Kilda.......damn !!!

Double damn.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,768]

Travis Johnstone for Paul Haselby. Straight swap.

[Freak 100]

um no thanks. there is no point in doing that trade. thats just trading for the sake of trading.

[Dee*ceiving 1,674]

We could acquire King at the cost of Jamar and pick in a 3 or 4 way deal but I couldn't see the cats wasting time on taking Jamar themselves.

[dee-luded 2,959]

Cameron Wood / Adcock -

Adcock finished third in the best and fairest in his breakthrough season of 2005 when he played every game out of defence.

But his career temporarily stalled last season when he managed just eight games because of a quad muscle injury.

Ruckman Cameron Wood's future remains unclear.

The Lions want to keep him but are prepared to trade to give him greater opportunities elsewhere.

Any interclub movement across the whole league is in limbo until West Coast skipper Chris Judd decides where he will play next year.

[WonnaJurah 5]

Adcock resigning with lions

woods still unknown

[occo 2]

Ken McGregor is [censored], is turning 27 years old and is exactly what we DONT need at MFC.

we shuldnt trade for anyone over 25 years old

totally agree with that

[occo 2]

Pick 4 & 21 plus Colin Syvlia to West Coast for Chris Judd and pick 32.

Pick 37 and Jamar to Hawks for pick 30.

Pick 29 and Miller to Carlton for pick 20.

thats pritty good actually.

[Freak 100]

no way would west coast take that.

Whats the latest with Cameron Wood?

[sylvinator 96]

The Age reported today that Melbourne have offered John Meesan a contract and he has asked to be traded to the demons.

Adelaide CEO and recruiting manager have announced that they will try to broker a deal with the demons to get Meeson to us.

20 yr old ruckman- pick 8 in 2004 draft.

he has loads of ability. 2006 playing 1st ruck at Norwood showed huge amounts of promise.

at the start of 2007 when biglands went down injured it was believed he would take over ruck duties at senior level, however he was injured in round 1 for 10 weeks, and by the time he got back to fitness Maric and Griffen had gone past him.

he is a little bit of a risk, bc no guerentee he will become a number 1 ruck, but most cost too much at all, and could turn out to be an absolute steal.

I like it. Younger and better than Jamar. Thing is, what do we have to give Adelaide? Please not Davey.
