Suddenly even the 260,000 for Jones looks not even worth bothering about, loyalty aside, if it means we miss out on Hill to the Saints. And the difference between us and the Hawks looks even starker, given what they're willing to do to bring elite talent into the door.

Asked about him over on /r/afl and got this response: I'm not sure we'd want to match what they'd ask for a 19 year old pick 12, given we have immediate needs for a big bodied physical presence in the forward line if Weid/Tim Smith are still in/out of the squad. No way would i want to use pick 20 this year or 20-30 next year on anyone but a 23-25 year old potential gun.

So nothing new since the last month? btw thats behind a paywall

Over on reddit/bf Greewood is a gun mark too. Jenkins could be a bullocking kpf when happy, despite his detractors. Fogarty also an excellent mark, Betts might have a year left in him as a small forward and rumours of Keith and the Dees asking about him. Rich pickings (if at all true)

https://www.fiveaa.com.au/shows/david-and-will/Seven-Adelaide-Crows-Players-Want-OUT-At-The-End-Of-The-Year Not sure on the validity of this, but perhaps there could be some Adelaide players available come October.

Papley, Baker, Betts - Surely we can nab one of them. Sorry for digging up old threads Mods, but as far as i'm concerned, it's trade week already. And i'm sure someone else also gets kicks out of reading threads from years ago.

There's nothing wrong with the recipe, we just had staff shortages at the manufacturing plant this year!

We may as well test Darren Burgess ceiling while we're at it, as he rebuilds the clubs fitness in the off-season. Maybe the bloke works miracles. Even if we "bounce back" next year, we're still going to missing these types of match-winning pieces that push other clubs into the very upper echelon. The Rioli's will still be licking their lips at the prospect of hunting down our one dimensional players next year, even if we rise. While down the other end, we have no livewires that can turn the momentum of a game off the back of a few efforts.

Different scenario, but you only have to look at how Jake Stringer is playing to realize the potential upside or high ceiling of taking on a player with his fair share of issues that could make them lost to the game, and getting it right. Goody is way too safe for it though.

Good team, but I reckon we're one KPF/3rd tall short and I don't think we can rely on T.Smith/Keilty to replace Weid on injury or form. Should be looking to recruit another senior forward that can currently play more consisntently better than Weid can, but should be surpassed in 2 or so years. As a KPF or 3rd tall. I don't have Joel Smith in the team. Player like Essendon have with Shaun McKernan or Mitch Brown. I've said it before but if Josh Jenkins is gettable on a 2 year dael you'd grab him and have him in there. Who else? Richmond had Caddy playing tall in 2017 and he cant get into the their team. Mind is drawing blanks right now Edit: Also need a livewire crumber which if we're being realistic, we could obtain with your Isaac Smith pick, and play Baker on the other wing.

Name sound Irish. It's not late in Dublin!

Gold Coast priority pick 2, sorry

Caro on Classified reporting they'd ask for pick 2 and probably get it. Judd and lloyd responding that they'd find it hard to believe pick 2 would be given, more like pick 10.

Wow. Only on Demonland could a player on his last legs at the age of 31 be valued higher than 27 old key forward that's played 18 games this season and kicked 25 goals. And that's not even mentioning the 3rd or 4th round pick needed to get it done. Hawthorn had no issue trading Sam Mitchell or Lewis... Why should we?

Maybe we could trade him to Sydney with our 3rd or 4th round pick to play with Zak, in return for Sam Reid. Key forward issue solved, if he gets on the park.

Package him and ANB up with our first round pick to swap with Gold Coasts.

We as in demonland? ? Yes, yes we are.

As if the AFL follows precedents and not media spun whims. The whole Pick 1&2 GCS issue has arisen solely because Tiny Cochring brought up player retention and the friendship of those two picks with the Media then promoting it. it's up to the other clubs to kick up a stink to prevent it, not trust in the AFL

Healy just wanted to know if we would be using out first round pick or trading it I think. Doubt he was thinking he'd get a specific answer, just I think testing the waters on our attitude to trade week. Seeing if Mahoney would let something slip. Of course, he gave them nothing but ?shade

https://omny.fm/shows/sportsday/melbourne-gm-of-football-josh-mahoney-on-sportsday?t=4m33s Morris asks Mahoney about being linked strongly to Brad Hill.. Healy asks about trading Noah Anderson to Freo for Brad Hill (And probably extra picks/players back id expect) Edit: From last thursday, surprised no one posted it.

Yup. And sit Viney away from the midfield and put him in the forward pocket as a ferociously defensive minded goal sneak that can help us retain the ball, pinch hit in the middle at times, but all year, hone his kicking and kick 30 for us.

26 year old, can't get a game with Richmond currently. I just wonder if we're capable of prizing him away from the Tigers with a decent offer?

They're fulfilling their finals-filler fate by landing in an away final to get monstered by GWS

Great to see Gold Coast playing well and denting their PP aspirations.
