Curious that Port supporters over on Reddit seem the most interested in bringing in a tall KPD. Just wait until Riewoldt and Lynch monster them! #21 for #16-18 #46 for #52-54 AND YOU GET OMAC. What a deal! They'll probably find some one better. Although I do agree that OMac could perform better in a new environment and don't subscribe to him being useless. He's only out because his contract is finished and Tomlinson has 3 more and can play his position. Similar scenario with Frost being overlooked for OMac last year. Not about ability but cap management.

Rumour is he was driving Mrs Daisy to Church. City of them n all.

And halfway through next year when Goodwin is fired, we can appoint him interim coach, be hypnotized by some improvement in effort, before bottoming out completely in 2022 with him at the helm, and then deciding to trade Gawn, May and Oliver and rebuilding the list in 2023 ?? Shawly not!

Goodwins coaching record with and without Steven May, suggests we should trade him back for Hogan. Yup, correlation doesn't always equal causation ?

Id have faith that Geelong would not hold us to ransom on accepting pick 35, instead of swapping 17 for 47, when we've just let Viney walk to them for nothing. The 47 (3rd rnd pick) I think would make it pass the tampering sniff test as deanox said with it equating to 27. I can't see our club wanting to give everything up for 35. And when I say everything I mean the Tyson trade and development, as well as the 2 years of Preuss development. Geelong would know this and that GWS or Sydney are waiting in the wings with a pick/player trade.

Demands is a pretty strong word. I'm thinking of this as a more amicable handshake agreement between two clubs that are on good terms trades wise. Geelong and Adelaide came to a similarly amicable arrangment over the Dangerfield trade when he was a RFA. Adel didn't force it and Geelong agreed to giving 9, 30 and Dean gore. I think danger was actually at the forefront of making sure Adel were well compensated. Geelong would be happy only giving up 17 for Viney, Preuss and 47 imo as a combo and avoiding a matched bid trade, and we'd be happier getting 17 and AFL compo. Preuss is anywhere between a 20-50 depending how desperate a club is, so overvaluing him slightly for the sake getting us an extra 1st round seems win/win for both parties 11, 17 and 21. That's port Adelaide levels of injecting 3 top class kids into a team over the current 16-22 ranked players marginally AFL/VFL level. Think Rozee Butters Dursma!

Reposting an idea: Just for arguements sake, Jack viney does want to go to Geelong. I wonder if we can trade Preuss and 47 to Geelong for an OVERS (Tampering?) pick like their #17, on the promise that we don't match the UFA Viney bid and force a trade, then we also get compo on JV in the first round too I assume. Then we have 11 or 19 (JV compo?) 17* (Geel) and 21 (Haw). Thoughts?

He's resigned for 4 years to be Nick Kyrgios' personal trainer mate.

The shifting of the magnets approach is not going to take us very far. Every line needs additions/upgrades. Trade in an elite running wingman ffs

Was Luke 'I can't imagine an AA team without Joel Selwood' Darcy a judge again? Or Ling..

But Max will need to drop back and bail out Moore when he's being rag-dolled!

Can't speak either ?

Clarko with his bizarre dreams of having an ex-demon dream team defence of Frawley, Frost, OMac ?

Bach offf recruiting staff!

This thread should've been ignored last week. Instead people engage and now it looks like the forum is actually debating trading Fritsch.

I dunno. Our best 22 squad of demon fans growing up is pretty stacked. Pendles, Judd, Gaff, Prestia. Might have to play him on a wing ?

If Houli plans to retire, it's the perfect inclusion.

Got em

I was just listening to the fantastic Sacked Podcast episode with the Ox and thought how interesting it would be to hear the events of Goodwin's eventual sacking from his point of view, whether it's today or in 12 years after a premiership dynasty has fizzled out and we've appointed a mediocre captain that pinches opposition players. https://www.heraldsun.com.au/podcasts/sacked

And then picks it up and throws it at a granny in a wheelchair?

I'd appreciate it if you posted this for a player youre interested in. Just for consistency. ?

Is Ben the runt of the litter? Never even heard of him until today.

Barrett suggesting disgruntlement towards the club from Hurley and Hooker too. You have to wonder if one of them could be squeezed out and involved in a McDonald trade. Hurley would be a decent 2nd tall in defense to plug in for a couple of years, and the club was vocal about chasing him in the past. Either way, let's get Saad.
