Problem is he can nominate his salary and that may be too high for them. And if he doesn't play its wasted money.

This is hopefully the year where we can get 2 x elite talents into a pretty reasonable list We may not get a chance like this for a considerable time. Need to make the most of it. Everything the recruiting team has done, rightly or wrongly, has been done for a reason. so far they don't seem to have put a foot wrong - altho aside from maybe Oliver & Gawn we still lack a damaging game breaker like Martin, Danger or Cripps. It has to be an extraordinary deal to give away 3 and/or 8.

"It's too early to tell" - Zhou Enlai

You think Bell -end would do that trade? Unlikely

If Melbourne wanted martin we could afford martin. There are all sorts of ways to engineer a salary package. Reading between the lines I'd say that the pay he was looking for(going by media reports) is well over what we think he is worth and so they wont make the effort to try and fit him in. As for Carlton - if they wanted to tie up $1.5m for Papley and Martin they have rocks in their head.

I think picks can get traded up to and including draft night so I wouldn't expect a deal today....

Maybe they could get Garlett back....

Gold. I'll have whatever it is you're taking....

But the "brilliant" assistant coaches have all been punted or been forced to change their role....

Says a lot that a guy with zero trade value finishes in our top 10 B&F

Good to see Oscar got a vote

Cant afford him

Seems these camp thingies can do a bit of damage....(cough*cough*)

Not even close and you know it

Hawks have (or will) used 50 for Patton. How TF do they get away with this. 50 for Patton 54 for Scully. Both former no 1 picks. Un-**********Believable.

Surely at this point we need the best quality player we can get. Hopefully our down year is a one off (!) and we need to maximise the advantage that brings at the draft, As someone said earlier I am a bit sick of swapping picks with the Giants to see them run off with the cream

Just like when Essendon wanted Oliver..:)

Very close

If only......

His 2018 form suggests he would stand up easily. Was rarely beaten and was an offensive weapon. We always overate our list generally- particularly when it comes to A/B graders - but the fact he has him bracketed with Stretch and Wagner shows that he has no clue about our list really.

"For a team that has had so many top draft picks......" "The Demons haven’t had a first-round draft pick since 2015 when it picked Oliver at No.4 and Weideman at No.9...." Speaking of inconsistency..

Harmes a C grader is BS. More like B to B+. Improved Consistency and he could be an A grader

If I was a player looking to bump up my salary I would tell my manager to speak with Norf. They'll offer ridiculous money which you then take back to your club and say 'see what I am worth?' Kind of like what Elliott did to us.......

Its more about endurance - you need some speed but the ability to run up and down all day is more important IMO. And he can mark which gives us two down the line options with max.

The Bell end knows that Langdon is out of contract and can go to the draft. If hes being nice thats the only reason. It's a toss up between him and DerWayne as to who is the biggest jerk.
