    Travis for Jude Bolton.

    I'd do that any day of the week.

    Bolton- body on the line. consistent, hard at it.

    Trav- weak, soft, inconsistent, flashy.

    Wake up. He's 27, and 28 in March. If he's going cheap maybe, but obviously he isn't, and CAC won't be interested in a 28 year old midfielder.

    Same age as TJ ... if it's a striaght swap it would be perfect.

  • Quote

    exactly diablo...wake up mate

    What do you mean? He's as old as TJ and probably has a similar amount of footy left... what do we get out of that swap that will actually help us build for our future?

    Seriously, if you think Jude Bolton is the answer to any problem that we have you are delusional. So we trade a 27 year old flawed genius for a 27 year old workhorse. Swings and roundabouts. He'll give us 3 years of good service and then what? TJ could go along way towards getting us another decent 1st round pick, and with that we can pick up somebody who is likely to be a big part of our future. Jude Bolton would be a bandaid solution.

    TJ + Miller + 21 to Sydney for Bolton + 11 is a tad more realistic and I would do it without too much hesitation. If Bolton comes packaged with pick 11 I will take him, but by himself I do not think he is worth a player who we could conceivably bag a decent pick for, because if we think about it the pick is worth more to us.

    Well. Time for me to eat humble pie. Evidently CAC is interested. I stand by my trade above or they can get fluffed.

    I wouldnt trade johnstone for a pick. Despite the fact that we may be rebuilding, getting a young up-and-comer that we have to work hard on will not help us. For the quality of Johnstone we should be looking for a player who is an established player in the afl. From then on, it is up to the club to dedcide who to go after. preferably not a pick.

    Miller+ 21 4 Bolton + 3rd round pick

    Good short-term option. Comes from a successful side - nice leadership injection - and also a first round pick (98).

    I'd take him for Trav for sure.

    We are not going to challenge next year. I expect that we'll be back in the 8 with the list we have, but '08 will be a 'progress' year for us. '09 is a possibility, but '10 is more likely. Any draft pick we take this year will have 2-3 years into him by that stage, and should be becoming a productive member of the team, especially if he is a 1st round pick.

    I know Jude Bolton has plenty of a appeal. Hell, he is about the only Sydney player I've legitimately liked from the past 5 years. But we need to realise that our turn is 2-3 years away, and Bolton will be on his last legs by then, particularly as he is an in-and-under type.

    If Sydney will not do a TJ for Bolton swap, ie. if they want a pick with him or something, then it is too much to give, in my opinion.

    Sydney still have a realistic shot at top 4 if they can pick up a few key players. Would be wise for them to keep bolton AND try to go after a travis type.

    Given CAC and Baileys statements, it would be suprising for a 28 year old to make the move to the dees.

    I think bolton is great, but i just cant see it happening.

    We WOULD be hindering our chances of snaring youngsters when you consider that TJ could possibly pick us up a first round pick from a side who are on the brink of a flag challenge. That is my only problem with Bolton.

    If it's 1:30pm on Friday, and there is nobody willing to part with an early pick for TJ, I WOULD do a straight swap, but it seems Sydney are not interested in that.

    i hear what you're saying. But i don't think trav is going to land us a first round pick.

    Unfortunately, it's looking less and less likely.

    We really are desperate to get rid of TJ, aren't we?

    I'd hope we can get something better for him, but it seems unlikely.

    Alot of Swans fans are acting like he has been rubbish the last season and a half. He might be finished.

    • 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?
