Throw the cheque book at Jonathan Brown, who is out of contract. With the retirements of Yze, Neitz, White and Holland we will have money to burn. Aim to get him in the PSD, thefore giving nothing to Brisbane.

Trade Brock McLean and our priority pick (pick 17) for pick 2 in the draft. Trade Cameron Bruce for pick 10-15. This will give us picks 1, 2, 16 and the pick gained from Bruce. Thats 4 in the top 20.

Trade Michael Newton and a 4th rounder to Adelaide for Nathan Bock.

Trade Daniel Bell back home to Port Adelaide for Steven Salpoek.

Draft

1 - Daniel Rich

2 - Nicholas Natanui

Possible 2009 team

B - Pettard Bock Carroll

HB - Frawley Rivers Wonemarri

C - Salopek Morton Davey

HF - Bate Dunn Sylvia

F - Maric J.Brown Green

R - Natanui Jones Rich

I/C - P.Johnson McDonald Bartram Buckley

Emer - Robertson Whelan Grimes

    I stopped reading when you said we should trade Brock McLean.

    Lets get rid of our best contested ball winner and become even more useless.

    Do you understand that once we get a decent team around him, McLean's ball-winning ability will become invaluable? Can you think of even one premiership side that had no contested ball winners and couldn't win the clearances?

    :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    I have him being traded with pick 17 to acqure pick 2. This is so we can get Daniel Rich, and Natanui

    Rich is a freak of nature. If you want a ball winner, then thats what he is (and a lot more)

    Its a small price to pay to get the best kid in the land. He is a definite superstar, and will impact straioght away (already dominating the seniors in Perth)

    I also have us getting Salopek. We will have more than enough quality ballwinners

    Judd got traded for 3 and a player and pick 20. What makes you think McLean plus 17 would be worth pick 2.

    Bruce would not get a pick 10-15. You are on the record saying he is soft over paid and over hyped. On what basis do you think he would attract that sort of pick.

    Nice one.

    And which stupid club will give us pick 2 if Rich is as good as you say he is?

    I'm glad I didn't read past "Trade Brock McLean".

    Another fine post from the sniiffling country member.

    Now I realize why they see Y_M as funny because it is ridiculous to read his incredible ideas. Ridiculously FUNNY!!!

    Magic , just stick to being a SAD sniffling country member.

    No way in hell Brown will be leaving Brisbane, and if he did, he's too honorable to leave them with nothing.

    No way known you would get Salopek for Bell in a straight swap.

    And no way known we would get Bock for Newton and a draft pick.

    There is no quick fix for the problems we currently have.

    Forget 2009 as a rebound year.....it won't happen!

    We are in a good position from the point of view that we have a solid core of younger players that can learn and get better together.

    We just need a major injection of quality with a couple of star kids.

    Just my opinion, but we need two years of raiding of the draft, this year and next year, and that's means two number 1 picks, and all the priority picks we can get!

    Brock should definitely not be going anywhere, or any of our youngsters for that matter.

    If the right deal comes along for an established player, then do it.

    Time to build for the future.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
