Trav and pick 4


Don24

Recommended Posts

i still reckon we should try to trade Travis.

it just really [censored] me off that he has so under performed for us over the last 8 years. its disgusting. he has let the club down.

he still has trade value at this stage of his career due to his ability to win a match off his own boot. fantastic player when on song (which is ussualy about 6 times a years tbo)

if we trade him for pick 9-15 id be stoked. we'd have 2 top draft picks and be able to set up our list for years to come.

atm, we still have major holes in our list.

1) we need a ruckman to replace White

- we'll get Meeson for cheap which is awesome could potentially become a number1 ruck. however, will still need to draft another one in case he doesnt come on as hoped.

2) another key forward to support Newton and Bate post Neitz.

- we could pick up Henderson at pick 4. another top10 picks would be great, but we defintely need to try and draft a key forward.

3) another key back to support Rivers, Frawley and Carool- prefereably a 195cm backman who can handly the big boys

- we could pick up Rance at pick 4. unfortunately we only have 1 high draft pick, so we're going to have to prioritize. that's why a 2nd high draft pick would be invaluable

4) we need a pacy/skillful midfield to complement the tough inside midfielders we have (Jones, Mclean, Sylvia, Moloney)

- we could pick up Ebert/Palmer/Morton with pick 4. that would do our midfield the world of good.

5) we need another small forward to help Davey

- Cyril Rioli is our man if we can get a pick around pick 10! would be an awesome get if possible.

we have too many holes, and not enough high draft picks to fill those holes.

TJ is 27 and underperforming. traading him for a high draft pick would go a long way to filling some of those holes.

TJ is not integral to our future.

Agreed.

If we can get a top pick for him, we should go for it.

We need another first round pick, and TJ can probably get that for us.

If Sydney want TJ, we can trade TJ plus pick 21 for pick 11.

TJ plus 21 for Swans Pick 11 and Pick 30 or whatever their second round is sounds more fair to me.

Keep Johnstone. Unless we want to go the Terry Wallace "We'll be good in 2168" route, in which case we can get rid of most of our older players for good draft picks and have a 3-5 year rebuild.

Whilst I would be interested to see what Johnstone could come up with under a new coach, I feel we would do better to use him as part of a trade and try and snag another top-10 pick. He still has some currency, but come next year he is unlikely to. We should cash in now.

I don't understand why it won't change. I've changed it in the my controls settings, but the bastard thing won't stop haunting me.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
