    Dodoro will offer next year’s pick 140 and us to pay 80% of his salary.

    Options might be decreasing. However, McCartney was quick to dismiss suggestions the club is also vying for Melbourne's Tom McDonald, saying the versatile Demon "hasn't had a lot of airtime within our discussions" ahead of the Trade Period opening next Wednesday.
  3. With which club? That would value both players as only a few spots upgrade in the draft. Obviously if true, a player hoped for in the draft and salary dumping.
  4. On comparing the 2, while Phillips would be easier to get, Clark is a better kick and 4.5 years younger. If Tom Mac joins Preuss at GWS, we could get involved in the Cameron deal and maybe get Clark from the Cats. I think they were prepared to let him go home to WA, so on the way there he could play 10 years with us first. I am not against getting Phillips, just would love to get Clark.
  5. Aside from Brown, would you not prefer Jordan Clark over all of those. I would. He has pace as well, probably more than the rest. I would go hard for him and look at the others as secondary.

    Bet you the Pies disagree with that.
  7. He has a third cousin in Bondi.

    I think he is a boy with issues, who had a very good year playing one out from the goal square on the lead, a position not available to him anymore. He seems to have zero defensive application and disappears from play for long periods. To me he is a NO!

    Would love to have Clark ahead of Phillips and most others named on here, Brown excepted, being the key forward. IMO we should have a real hard go at Clark. He could play wing or half back and then we can forget some other lesser players.

    Players like Phillips and Treloar who are being pushed out by their clubs, will be cheaper trades than their true worth, otherwise they will not be chased and will cause salary headaches by staying where they are..

    They were all pensioned off by Clarko and told to get a deal elsewhere if they didn’t want to retire. This situation is completely different they offered Smith a 2 year deal and he left.

    People do change their mind. I don't blame the Dr at all. I am happy to get info during trade week as I have a boring life.
  13. Redleg replied to Lord Nev's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    We move on to a better deal.

    How is it that Bombers know already they will get Pick 7 from the AFL, when no contract has been lodged with the AFL. The secret compensation formula and advice has obviously been used to help Bombers and Lions. Bombers get top pick and Lions get him free. AFL at its best.

    Sometimes things for free aren't worth the price. I think I have morphed into a philosopher.
  16. You are now on board DD.

    Love you ET, but make sure that you break news and not wind.
  18. Redleg replied to Lord Nev's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Don't be disappointed, I won't be. I think Brown is the big fish atm and if we get him we have done well. Smith is a little aging fish and old fish can be very smelly and you don't want them hanging around smelling up the place for 3 years. I think we can find younger better fish than Smith.
  19. Redleg replied to Whispering_Jack's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I would not blame you if he indicated he was happy to join us and then changed his mind after a late Cats pitch. I actually am no t keen in him anyway. He is not the player he was and I would prefer Getting someone younger and also developing Baker. Maybe it would allow us to look at a Treloar deal or Phillips, or even poach a Cats player.
  20. Redleg replied to Lord Nev's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Let me get in before the decision. I am not particularly thrilled to get him on a 3 year deal at 32 and couldn’t care less if he goes to the Cats. We can target someone else younger.
  21. Redleg replied to Whispering_Jack's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yes. If Smith goes to the Cats we can be sure of two things, first Dr. Evil will cop a pasting on DL and second there will be a flood of posts about how Smith is no good, too old and didn’t want him anyway.
  22. Sorry didn’t see Preliminary Final mentioned. Just assumed Suns as that was the rumoured likely destination.
  23. Redleg replied to Flag Favourites 3019's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yes.
  24. If it's the Suns, then it makes sense why they are not interested in the expensive Treloar.

    If his Manager looks at Gresham, Lonie, Billings, Butler, Jones, Hill, Geary, Dunstan, Sinclair and others I forget atm, you may be right.
