It's probably more based on his WAFL performances, rather than his 1 senior appearance. He is the type of player that we need anyhow.

If that is true, just wow.

They're probably de-listed spud players liek Pedersen and Rodan though. Don't want them.

"Delisted Gold Coast defender Maverick Weller appears likely to find a new home, with two Melbourne clubs showing strong interest in the 21-year-old.

Weller, who can move to any club as a delisted free agent, was one of the inaugural Suns, joining the club as a 17-year-old access selection in 2010."

Hope we're one of them.

He's not a mid. He's 27. Joke of a rumour.

600K for Sylvia for 3 years? It was reported as 1.05million for 3 years. We'll be lucky to get a second round pick.

"St Kilda had shown interest in the 21-year-old, but AFL.com.au understands his decision will be between the Demons and Fremantle, which is keen to retain the on-baller"

Sounds like we're a shot.

I would like him but I hope the club plays hard ball and tries for Shiel and pick 9 for our pick 2 and second rounder (18-20ish). Some other sweetener from us may probably be required.

GWS have a massive abundance of mids, they will most likely want Scharenberg to fill their defensive void - I can't see them passing on Boyd and he won't be around at pick 9 (another midfielder).

Difficult to play hard ball when the player is contracted though.

Its the 13:45 minute mark and James Aish has 7 disposals 2 marks 0 tackles 2 clangers and 2 inside 50s

Is a Cl on the stats sheet a clearance or a clanger? I would've though clearance.

I've not heard anyone discuss Farren Ray this year. Surely he'd be available.

Perhaps we dodged a bullet on him last year.

He signed a 2 year contract with StK a couple of months ago. Had a pretty good year I think.

They won't get a PP for at least the next 6 years (and shouldn't bother asking!)

Lewis is too old, 28 in April

He can't just walk out on us like Col did, as we will have the option to match any offer, and will have a shitload of cap space with which to do so.

Who the hell's going to get the ball into our inside 50 now? He was our #1 at this, his loss will hurt.

Go hard at Shiel. 4 year offer at $400, 000 per year. Fair swap given Tom "valdemort" Scully. We giveup pick 2 for Shiel and Anthony Miles.

We should go for Miles regardless, we'd get him for a late pick

Haven't GWS got enough midfielders?

Seems they've got enough of everything.

My money would be on pick 2 heading to the GCS for Swallow.

He fits the criteria Mahoney was referring to.

A former #1 pick who may not have set the world on fire, but has 3-4 years of fast-tracked development at the Suns. Ready to go.

I think the Suns would probably agree to it too.

As a half back flanker!

Wow Shane Mumford and Tom Scully are bound to be best buddies with their shared love of cash.

Dean Bogan was on SEN this morning or last, asked who the biggest tightarse he'd ever played with was: Tom Scully. No surprises there.

If Frawley wants to leave next year, i expect us to match the contract.

I'd be happy if we got 2 or 3 of Hallahan, Michie, Schroeder, Miles and Weller. At least they're realistic targets. We would be able to do that with our first 2 picks intact

.[

I want to use 1&2 in the draft rather than recycle.

That's what I said: our first 2 picks intact as in, we still have them.

Nathan Jones off to geelong, done deal? LOL

Reported on Sunday Footy Show by Damian Barrett that Sylvia is unlikely to be at the Dees next year.

Read into that what you will ...

Hi all,

Just a quick question to ask regarding what would happen if Colin signs or doesn't sign with us.

What is he currently being payed at the demons? I ask this because if we were to lose him maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing?! I realise we don't need to lose anymore experienced hard bodies like we usually do each season but correct me if I'm wrong.... There could be an upside. Let's say he leaves, from what I've read it seems a likely scenario that we could receive a late 2nd or third round pick.... But what about the extra money we would have during the trade period to look at getting another younger quality mid? Now like I said I'm not sure how much he is currently on and I'm sure it's not enough to get a really top player, but surely all is not lost if we got a pick but also had the capacity to bring in another quality mid with the money he was getting?

Thoughts?

We've got more than enough cap space to go after a quality mid, it's whether they want to come. I hope Col stays, and all his wanting to stay at MFC etc wasn't bs.

Sounds like a Tom Couch type. No thanks.

I remember Brisbane trying to do it for Fev. Was Bradshore and another player from memory, didn't work out to well in the end

Rischitelli and Bradshaw i think it was, they both walked out on Brissie after that.
