WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JEFF GARLETT
Adam The God replied to Demon3's topic in Melbourne Demons
But the upside is potentially high for us. Great trade. -
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JEFF GARLETT
Adam The God replied to Demon3's topic in Melbourne Demons
Well, they had killed his trade value by playing him in the seconds for most of the year. -
Bit like a FIFA contract. Suarez had just penned a five year deal when he walked to Barcelona.
-
Particularly, as Roos has flagged multiple times the interest (and preference) he has for bigger, taller bodied mids.

Well, that'll make the Bulldogs even less likely to trade one of their young gun mids. -

Yep. I think it bodes well. -
Until we have that pick though, we can't be offering it up for trade knowing we're tied to taking Stretch with it. I want Dangerfield though, so let's roll with this rumour.
-
What happens to Stretch with our third rounder, if we were to give that away? Doesn't sound like someone's thought through their rumour.

AFL involved in Port Adelaide/Essendon Draft Rort
Adam The God replied to deanox's topic in Melbourne Demons
Of course it's being co-driven by Essendon. They get a compensation pick FFS. I know you're a Bomber man, Ash, but pull the other one. If it weren't at least co-driven, the deal would have been done by now. -

They're coming. We just need to be patient. (opinion, not inside knowledge) -

Plus, quite a bit of outside run.

It's also funny/foolish that we're all expecting that GWS absolutely want Petracca. Where did this actually come from? I doubt they've actually come out and said anything that confirms this as obviously, otherwise they'd be stupid. -
I'm cool to trade both picks, in fact, I hope we do. I just want to net something a bit better than Hrovat. : )

I gather that happened last year, but if the spectre of Shiel jumping ship after his contract is still as strong this year, surely GWS would bite the bullet... -

It's possible they'd say no to the extra pick, I'd say highly probable actually, but you always aim a little higher than your realistic expectations. Invariably, you end up with your realistic expectation. I'd trust Roos and co to get this done. Obviously, if Shiel isn't interested in leaving then it all means nought. -

It's got nothing to do with what Shiel would be worth in the draft now, it's about the likely compensation GWS might get for him going forward. If he wants to go and we can give pick 2 or 3, they'll do it. Particularly, if that pick will provide them with Petracca. And the point about Judd is that West Coast traded him (the only comparison to Ablett in the modern game) and pick 46 for picks 3, 20 and Josh Kennedy (also a previous first round draft pick). Shiel is on the cusp of A grade, but he's not Ablett or Judd (yet). Shiel is worth a top 5 draft pick and maybe a third or second rounder. We'd be able to satisfy them with pick 3 though. -
Didn't Grundy slide too? He was an expected top 10er for most of the lead up to the draft.

Exactly. Therefore, pick 3 for Shiel and a first rounder is not out of the realms of possibility. -

Adam The God replied to Dr evil's topic in Melbourne Demons
If Shiel wanted to go, three would certainly satisfy them. In fact, I'd be wanting a pick back with him. Probably a first rounder. I think we just have to keep thinking about that Judd trade. Okay, it was a while ago and a different landscape, but it still holds some water. And I don't see why pick 23 couldn't get the Tomlinson deal done if we wanted him. -
Is that sarcasm, jazza?

The first few days always are. I was kind of hoping for something different this year though. Eh? Just trolling about. -
What a disappointing thread this is. Wake me up when Dangerfield signs.

Hope we don't need to take either pick to the draft.
