They just had CAC on SEN about the trade, so i'm pretty sure that it has gone through.

Anything to get rid of Ferguson. Sure he has the heart, but that doesn't cut it in this league. If only TJ had the heart that Ferguson has

That Sewell deal really shits me, we were so close to getting him. There's always a scuffle on the last day of trade week. Hopefully we might be able to gain a couple of more picks (for the right price)

Well we got what we wanted, another first rounder (however a bit higher up would've been nice). Unless Roosy gets desperate and throws the kitchen sink (pick 11) to get Miller . Here's hoping

I agree Drake, Do we look at drafting both Henderson and Rance (should he be available) in the one draft??? Or do we get a mid with our first pick (Palmer, Masten, Ebert, Cotchin ) and then go for a KPP??? If this was the way, which i think it will be, surely we would go for a backman first.

Here Here.

Anyone thinking that we were a realistic chance of challenging for the flag in the next 2 years are dreaming. The MFC are starting to get rid of the older players that have value, and quite rightly so. They aren't gonna win us a premiership, as simple as that. We may as well trade them and get some decent picks for them, to try and improve our list so that in another 3+ years, our core group of youngsters will have developed into what we believe they can. Then we will seriously be able to challenge for the flag. Like Hawthorn have done, what Carlton are doing now, and what Brisbane did half a decade ago. We need to go through this phase, or we will just end up playing in EF and SF, but not challenging for the flag. Some might be content with consistently making the finals, i'd rather miss the finals for a few years then make the GF, and hopefully win it.

If Brisbane want pick 14 and Shaw for Wood (who has potential, but hasn't set the world on fire) then we should be asking for pick 8 for Travis. Either that or pick 14 and a player. I would push for getting Sherman to the club. Of course that wouldn't be enough, so i'd throw in our pick from the Saints (if CJ does go to them) plus Trav for their pick 14 and Sherman. Or Trav and the Saints pick for Brisbane's pick 8. Coz if Wood is worth pick 14 and Shaw, Trapper + 3rd rounder is definitely worth pick 8, or pick 14 and Sherman.

Try and get Sherman as the sweetner

If we are to trade TJ, we may as well trade Bruce, coz he ain't gonna win us a flag. Get pick 11 for him + Miller off the swans (with maybe Buchanan). We'd have picks 4,11,14,21 Or we could give Johno up plus our 2nd rounder for Brissies pick 8. We'd have picks 4,8,11. This way we would have gotten rid of players that realistically won't help us win a flag, plus we would have started our re-building phase, with next years draft just as important.

Why do this deal??? Shaw is of no value to us, as simple as that. Try and get the swans to give up pick 11. If we have pick 11, then maybe, just maybe Rance might be around when our pick comes. Trav for 11 yes (although reluctantly), pick 14 and Shaw (the wrong one) no. Unless of course, we throw in our 2nd round pick for their pick 8, then yeah i'd do that. But not for pick 14.

yeah that sounds about right

Apparently Judd has been traded to the Blues for picks 3, 20 and Kennedy http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...32-2722,00.html

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. They're offering Meesen (we can get in PSD) Brent Reilly (no good) pick 10 (sure that's useful, but we might get pick 11 from Sydney) because of that offer, i would not even give the crows anything, just get Meesen through PSD. Seriously what an insult. As Osama from the Chaser's would say "a Jihad on the Adelaide Crows"

That's if we get some deals done

How about we get rid of both TJ and Bruce, One for pick 11 the other for pick 14. We get rid of Bruce (disposal is unbelievably bad) and TJ goes (not preferred, but it seems inevitable)

you reckon the swans will bite???

Agreed Ash, if Wood is worth pick 14, TJ would be worth at least pick 10.

I agree, we should just throw pick 4 away now, to spare us the thought of failure.

I thought Brisbane had pick 8. If so, where do i sign!!! It has my approval.

I'd much prefer Sydney's pick 11 for TJ. If it took both TJ and Miller to get the deal done, then so be it. Miller is virtually worth nothing to us anyway. He best plays at CHF, definitely not in the backline. The problem with him at CHF is that he kicks 10 goals a year, max. Give the Swans TJ and Miller for their first pick (and try and get Buchanan)

I just want to see something happen to our list. Coz we are quite clearly nowhere near winning a premiership, our goal. We need to get active in getting picks, coz the older blokes aren't gonna get us to where we want to be, plain and simple. Trade em whilst we still can.

This is totally irrelevant, but i love how Ox uses the expression "Muppet". Every time i hear him say it, i can't help but laugh

Unless of course, the deal is TJ + Miller (and maybe our 2nd rounder) for pick 11 + Buchanan/Schneider
