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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
