Dee tention

I believe is my gut feel! No Sauces! ? The Dees have a 5 year plan to win a Premiership! I think we are heading into year 4 or 5. They will pull the strings they need to achieve this success! We sacrificed Pick 6 and $$$ to land May. We paid overs to get Lever, trading away 2 first round draft picks! We will do the same with Martin $$$, however get him for free... The Dees will and should be ruthless in there approach. The time is now! Langdon, Tomlinson, Martin & Bennel along with Picks 3 & 8 is a significant step in the right direction.

I believe Martin can be a very good player. He will go to another level which ever club he lands at. He is only 24 so has plenty to give. I would expect he plays half forward with stints in the midfield. Capable of easily being a 40+ goal kicker.

With a year to run on his contract, James Harmes signing of a 5 year contract is evidence we are freeing up some room in our cap to make a big play this year. I believe the Dees will take Martin in the PSD and trump Carlscum with Bennel also coming as a DFA.

I think the Dees should get this guy ASAP. Is only 22yo and can run and kick. Exactly what we need. And he is FREE! We still can take Young at 3 and Bennel as DFA. Hibberd and Jetta getting on. And Murray is more daring and countering than Salem I believe.

I can see us taking Young 3 and Stephens 8 if available. Stephens is versatile. Can play wing, outside mid and half forward. Has a lot of zip! I do think Adelaide would be prepared to take him with Pick 4.

After listening to the Taylor podcast. If we keep Pick 3. We will bid on Green with GWS to match. We then take Young! However, I think the more likely scenario will be to swap Pick 3 for Freo’s 7 & 10. Therefore, Pick 7 = best available, Pick 8 = Luke Jackson & Pick 10 = Cody Weightman

Yes from me. He is still quite young and has plenty left if he can leave his injuries behind. Is a match winner! If we can get Bennel, maybe Martin might change his mind and come to us. Eddie little Betts hasn’t got long at the Blue Balls...

If we do split Pick 3. It has to be with Freo for 7 & 10. 3 Young is a lot to give up! 7 ?????, 8 Stephens & 10 Weightman If we pass up on Young. Salem needs to take his kicking and daring to another level. He is to Vanilla for me and should be a game breaker from half back. Should be looking at moulding his game on Bachar Houli from the Tigers!

His pressure is first class. He just keeps going and going! Exactly what we need in our forward 50. I would happily part with Pick 8 for him.

He might be a half back in U18. But will be recruited as a wing/outside midfielder I would think. Pick 3 - Young Pick 8 - Weightman Don’t split Pick 3 Dees. Please don’t!

Sorry if I’m mentioning it in the wrong thread. But I think we should take Sam Murray. Delisted free agent I think!

Isaac Smith and one of Casboult or Jenkins would have given our list more depth. We are very light up forward for a big body! Hopefully TMac, Weid and Smith can get some consistency in there game.

I would trade Pick 8 for Papley & a late pick to secure Isaac Smith. Papley is a very good player.

A Massive Massive YES to Isaac!

And 2020 First Rounder

FFS Don’t turn Gold into Bronze

Pick 3 is a Nugget! It is essentially 2 top 5 picks to GWS... If we trade with GWS. We need to get a lot more than Pick 6 & 2020 first round. They beat us in that trade hands down, and we are the easy beats again. A decent player needs to come with both of those picks. Caldwell please...

Pick 8 to Sydney for Papley & Pick 62. Pick 62 for Josh Jenkins or Levi Casboult. I think the Dees will get a big forward. TMac, Weideman and Joel Smith injuries this year left us exposed. Tim Smith and Declan Keilty both gone. Then again we have Petty!

Can we only trade one 2020 Pick?

Anything is possible! But yes I am probably dreaming. ? Whitfield had a very poor Grand Final playing wounded. He declared himself only 50-60% fit after the game. Quite selfish I think! If I were GWS I would trade him. There going to have a Pick 3 & Tom Green (Top 5 rates) come in this year! Whitfield allows the Dees to mix up the wing and midfield positions. And we get that elite kick we are after...

Very left field Bombshell; But I hear a whisper of secret dealings in the background. Pick 3 & 2020 2nd round pick (Hawks) to GWS for Pick 6 and Whitfield (gives GWS salary cap space). Angus Brayshaw (allows us to help pay for Whitfield & Papley) to Freo for Pick 10. Pick 8 to Sydney for Papley. OUT - Pick 3, Brayshaw and 2020 2nd rounder. IN - Picks 6, 10, Whitfield & Papley. Demons serious 2020 Premiership contender!

What! ? I am glad your not negotiating! You must be a Pies supporter...

I hope we play Joel at FF with Fritsch.

What is he worth then know it all?

Peter Wright is absolutely gettable... Playing NEAFL and he would be taking up some of there coin as well. I think he is a good chance to comeback to VIC this trade period. GC have King, Lukosius, Sam Day, Jarrod Witts and now Zac Smith. 2020 2nd Round Pick (linked to Hawthorn)?
