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 and Pick 21

4

Bolton and pick 11

I can dream :)

Bolton- Consistent hard player

TJ-Inconsistent and flashy

Same age

Why not?

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.

Reported on Channel 7 news that Sydney rejected our offer of a straight swap of TJ for Bolton.

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.

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.

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
