Posters on Demonland and across most of society, all too readily accept what is written in the press as fact. Most of it is speculation. MC and the MFC have not come out in the press and stated anything. It's been played back and forth in the media, just because MC or the MFC haven't come out and debunked any of the rumour or innuendo, does not therefore make it fact.

Lol, that'd be great, but there's no way they'd give up their three best players and a promising KPP for picks 2 and 3.

I'd take Conca for a second rounder though, if we had the appropriate pick.

Lovin' it. Good on you, Jack.

I can't see them giving up anything willingly though, mate. The only reason they'd entertain the straight swap is because Ryder has essentially walked already.

I'd certainly take Greene if the price was right (read lowish). He seems like a [censored] of a bloke and he certainly isn't an A grader, but if Roos and co can curve his seeming poor off-field behaviour and he improves his tank (via Misson), he could be a little win for us.

Ryder would obviously have to agree to it though.

Yeah, well, fingers crossed. Brave new world. I think we need to buckle down for FA. For the good and the bad. We've had some bad, time for some good.

Well, if we get Adelaide's first rounder back (unlikely), this would become very much like the Tyson deal, but on a much grander scale.

Roos is a sly old fox. All this talk about teams trading their stars before FA occurs. He started it.

Prestia?

Exactly. We made a small profit and as I understand it, not a cent of it was from an AFL handout. That was the previous year.

I don't think anyone's saying that if we get Dangerfield, it'll be all good, rjay. But there's no doubt he would improve our team and I wouldn't be surprised if his signing inadvertently encouraged others to join.

Particularly, if they don't realise it. And whether Mick wants to last another rebuild will also become a factor.

I'd do that deal, M. I'm not sure Adelaide would though.

Dangerfield this year and come back for Prestia the following year.

Demonlanders are getting too precious about these top picks. It's one of the reasons I never got attached to any of this year's U18's crop. I thought there was a good chance we'd be trading whatever top picks we received. I would if I was on the MFC recruiting team and I have an idea Roos would too.

And unless Trengove is somehow involved in the trade, he should be injured less.

It's dreaming, but if we could somehow convince Shiel to join on an overinflated long term contract for a trade of pick 10 received in an Adelaide trade, we'd be laughing. And we'd have a midfield all of a sudden.

Yeah, Dangerfield for picks 2 & 3 worries me. Dangerfield and pick 10 for picks 2 & 3 doesn't. We get a chance to bring in two guys, for two picks, one of them is a game breaking A grader, the likes we haven't seen since Lyon or even Flower.

Any luck, Chook? The potentiality of this news got me through the night, after another insipid display from my other football team Liverpool.

I think Demonland has jumped on this and run with it. We've still heard nothing from Mitch.

You would have been one of those people saying Roos had said definitively he wasn't coming to Melbourne, where the truth was he'd never said such a thing. Journalists can imply whatever they want. I was quoted in an industry publication recently and my words were completely taken out of context and used to build an entirely separate argument. You can manipulate words in almost any manner. Therefore, you need clear cut quotes.

Gee, there's a culture problem down at Hawthorn.

As long as there aren't too many messages there. It's essentially a three year contract. I'm not worried, but I'm sure there's a contingency in place. PJ seems like a sharp, professional operator.
