Not a rumor just an idea:

Pick #2 for Polec + Longer

Trade Jamar + Sylvia compensation pick to Adelaide for Vince and Lyons.

Would this be a trade worth considering or are we paying unders+overs?

Not a horrible idea but Brisbane have said they do not want picks they will only take players in exchange. Plus Adelaide do not need another ruckman.

You miss the photo shoots and the twitter babble?

The kid thinks he's a rock star, but hasn't done anything of note in the AFL world.

Which ones the flight for the afl grand final or the sanfl grand final ? Maybe it was the one of him having a kick on an oval ?

God some people are quick to judge? Until you can provide proof of him being a [censored] then I suggest you rethink your opinion on him. From what I know he is a really good kid actually.

Jared Polec is currently in Melbourne. Photo on his twitter saying he is visiting Melbourne today...

Perhaps the deal to an Adelaide club isn't going well and some Melbourne clubs have convinced him to have a talk? Would he add to our midfield at all? Or is he the wrong kind of player to target?

I just did my bit and tweeted him to come to the dees haha now we only need about a million more to make him think about it

He sounds like a [censored] the way he's been shopping himself around.

When has he shopped himself around? Wants to go to SA, clubs are bickering about best deal. Nothing to do with him

Jay Clark is definitely in the wrong business. I think celebrity gossip ala Perez Hilton is more his game

Do you know many years we have offered him?

FWIW I was chatting to Bleasey the other day and he reckons we are a fair chance to get him. Reckons 3 years

I am over this pick 2 debate. I honestly think we get some afl experienced mids with our sylvia compo and later picks or psd and just use pick 2 on the best kid in the draft. That way we get some top up experience with later picks and psd but we also get a ready made midfielder who can play 8-10 years. So keep pick 2 and use later picks on afl players and after next season if we are more successful than previous ones suss out free agency. No use trading pick 2 this year as all the good players are staying put now.

I posted this on the other page

This might have already been posted but I heard pick 2 for Harley Bennell.

Did you hear that off facebook by any chance ? Through the person posting in the mighty melbourne demons page?

Melbourne Football Club's 2014 Brownlow Medalist.

Bit of a mouthful.

Now that is the definition of wishful thinking

I heard Denham this morning on SEN mention that were now looking at Dom Tyson. I then heard from somebody else that this is right and it involves Blease and an exchange of picks. Has anybody else heard anything about it? From memory Tyson is coming off a knee, but he can play. Was keen to head to Richmond I believe after his first year at GWS.

Not worth any of the picks we have to offer would have to be him and someone or swap draft picks. Even with St Kilda being involved if it went that way

Roosy will be so confused about what to affectionately call him.

Michine, King Viv, Michelle knowing our luck with developing players or Nothing (as we may not get him)

My mate heard it and giving #1 up would depend on how badly gws want Fisher

No matter how badly they want Fisher I doubt they would give up pick 1 and if Steven left the saints Scott Watters would have to move to Antarctica and live in an igloo

We would all do well to remember that anyone who claims to have a source is wrong 90% of the time. Especially if they cannot/will not name them. FWIW I think we may have Michie my old boss actually works at Freo as a trainer and he seems to think that Michie is coming to us. However I wouldn't get my hopes up as nothing has been confirmed and there is still a lot of work to be done on this particular deal and others that the MFC are currently working on.

Don't think they'd want Spencer. We could interest them in Fitzy he's clearly better than Martin but I don't think they'd like that. Otherwise Strauss, Blease or Tapscott but their currency is low.

They certainly need some players if they lose Docherty, Polec, Longer, Yeo etc, can't just get picks for all of them.

Polec wants to go home to SA. If neither club trade for him he will either go PSD or resign at Brisbane if he's not under contract.

Mate of mine heard this

Saints making a hard play for No.1 draft pick, Jack Steven to Dees for pick 2. Then offload pick 2 and Sam Fisher for pick 1 and Giles

Who knows if right but it is the silly season.

Did your mate just see that the saints wanted the number 1 pick and make up that trade because it sounds remotely believable. Because if he read it right he would see that GWS have no intention of trading pick 1

Yeah keep pick 2 Rockliff and Shuey required players at their clubs and won't be moving. Id rather keep pick 2 than trade it for a few players who are middle of the rung types.

WRONG it's been 7 yrs of inept performances DT.

My bad haha although that has made me more depressed haha

Agree ... but We will need to offer a listed opportunity as he will have other suitors

True well then offer him a 3 year deal with performance/behaviour based clauses and watch him grow under Roos. He is not as bad as people make him out to be through rumours and other BS.

Could it be that we snare Del Santo out of Kangaroos clutches or even Montagna????

Do it in a heartbeat!

Wouldn't mind them but not for pick 2 no way. Won't have them for long enough to be worth pick 2

I really enjoy watching Thomas Bugg play, I have also met him and is a very nice kid. Not at all arrogant so if we get into his ear then we are a chance to get him. Play him off half back or wing

Also I am aware that only 4 clubs have traded and I am not throwing my hands up that we haven't landed anyone yet i'm not impatient, I am merely stating that people need to realise it is a lot more difficult for us to attract top players to our club regardless of Paul Roos or us having pick 2

But we were only really crap then.

I hate the off season for several reasons and the trade period is one of them. It usually means that the good players that are up for trade get us interested however due to 5 years of inept performances, they do not end up coming here and the ones that we do get we pay a lot over market value for them (ala dawes and clark) Don't get me wrong I love both those players, however I am sure if we did not offer them the amount of money they are on then we would not have picked them up.

Fans have to come to terms with the fact that we are not an attractive destination. In fact the only thing that we have to offer them is that we have Paul Roos as our coach now. As good as Roos is I don't think he is enough to get a top class player to sign for us. You can't rely on a new coach to entice players to sign.

Definitely should get him. Young, big bodied and talented individual. Sure he did not perform that well at GC however any player who was slightly off in performance was going to get cut from there with the list they had and culls they had to make. Definitely has the talent and build to succeed in the AFL and Paul Roos I believe is the perfect coach for him. Rookie spot for him and make him work his butt off. Remembering he is still only 21 and already has 3 years of AFL experience.

I posted a few days ago on the rumours about St. Kilda being in trouble and, despite the positive spin the Saints have put on their trading of Ben McEvoy, I can't accept that the trade spells anything else but that they're in a bit of strife.

So I'll add another rumour to the mill.

There's another big one to come from St. Kilda in the next few days.

The saints did put something out saying they would be trading and it would be unpopular

Somehow I suspect that McEvoy isn't the only one. Considering they said Montagna won't be leaving and everyone knows about Nicky Dal I suggest it is another of their better players. No way is it Jack Steven though, they still need some decent young established players
