Nein, nein, nein!

I think King is definitely worth elevating to the main list on a 2 year contract. We don't exactly have a plethora of developing talls and he made big improvements on his game this season.

Didn't even think about the hoodoo until I was leaving the ground. I'm really happy about this win for quit a few reasons. Hoping it provides a solid springboard into next season.

Can be a solid player, as he was today. Calling him a 'champion of the game' epitomises the bipolar attitude of Demonland.

Dixon officially requesting a trade. Port looking likely as his final destination. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-09-06/dixon-quits-the-suns-to-seek-trade

Quite different. Saying he is a big part of the future could mean anything really... 'the future' is contained within his current contract. Saying that he will be at the club for a long time to come is another thing altogether and insinuates that he'll be signing a long term contract. Anyway, Paul said to look for the positives, so I'm taking this to mean he'll be signing a 7 year extension.

Cross yes, but Lumumba has been very underwhelming thus far. I think he'll step up next year and feel more comfortable in the side and with the game plan.

Pedersen has been good the last couple of seasons in that role, ever since he found his hands. Can take a grab and works hard.

I don't think he will go anywhere, at least before FA. If he does, it will be the very final straw for many and I'm sure the club knows this. Will be doing their due diligence to hold onto him, obviously.

Yep, I'm looking forward to being pleasantly surprised again this trade period.

He's a selfish player, a sniper and plays for free kicks. That's enough for me to know that I don't want him at the MFC. Goes without saying, but it's not up to me. That's my opinion though.

If I see Steve Johnson in the red and blue next season, that will be the final straw for me. Absolute [censored] and is nowhere near as good as he once was.

Plowman actually sounds like a similar player to the young Rivers. Apart from the foot skills.

Has been mentioned and I was keen on him earlier on. Arguably the best kick in the league. But someone made a very good point that he is probably the kind of player who looks much better in a very good side. Thinking about that, I don't think he'd be a good fit for us at the moment.

I have to agree. In the past, there were a number of players I was attached to and hoped we wouldn't trade. Now there are only two or three that I'd be disappointed about losing. Anyone else can go, for the right deal and for the better of the side as a whole.

My thoughts indeed. Seems as though every player who apparently wants out is going down there. Will be interesting to see who actually does end up there, because if they all do (as per media speculation), surely Geelong will be pushing for top 4 again in 2016.

Make an offer to the blues for Henderson, would be a fantastic get and with Hogan would make a dangerous pair up forward.

In this day and age he could get enormous amounts thrown at him regardless. The point is, you're spending too much time despairing over losing Hogan. He is contracted to us at the moment, he puts in more effort than most on game day and he clearly seems to love playing with his mates. What will be, will be but I think he'll be with the MFC for a long time and I expect the club will do what they need to to ensure that this happens. We are improving and every time I've ever heard him speak, he indicates that he is very passionate and very keen to spearhead this improvement and make the club great again. Smokey for future captain?

So why doesn't the same ridiculous fear mongering apply to Gus Brayshaw?

Unfortunately Dawes is a bulldozer, but most of the time he just doesn't mark.

Either would be nice and both are light on in terms of key defence. A bag in both matches would be even better!

Sounds like a Roos-type recruit. I've always liked how he's gone about it and I didn't even realise he wasn't getting a game. Maybe snare him with a second/third rounder.

Can see him kicking a large bag against the Blues.

I think we need to at least trade one in, but also draft/rookie a late prospect for the future. Spencer is just not good enough and Jamar doesn't have a place anymore. If those two go it leaves us fairly exposed to injuries or poor form.

I think we only received the offer with about 15 minutes left, so you can understand why it didn't happen. Still, I wish we'd have said yes. We won't get another deal like that for him.
