Nascent

Surprised there wasn't a thread started on him already. Had a really strong finish to his year that has put him well and truly into top 5, if not top 3, calculations. Played a couple games for Casey in the year. Possibly out of reach for us at pick 5 (perhaps 7 post GC and North FA compo), however we may still be able to make our way up the board for him if the club believes he's our man.

Chol has chosen the hawks it seems

Any good alternatives we might be looking at?

Being reported that bombers have shown interest as part of the BZT trade

This. I suspect we wouldn't even be able to get Reid if we did trade Clarry. Roos pick 2 and 3 or hawks pick 3 and future first have better cards.

Staying according to this afl article Star Dog in talks, Power mid attracts interest, flag Dee to stay - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1048515 MELBOURNE forward Harrison Petty will stay at the Demons despite Adelaide's interest in the premiership player. The Demons will be in negotiations with the Crows to trade in forward Shane McAdam, with Adelaide having interest in luring back South Australian Petty. However, despite having a pull home, Petty is locked in to remain at Melbourne, where he is contracted for the next two seasons and highly valued as a part of the Dees' group.

I think it will be for pick 31, just my opinion

Gold Coast? Would leave them in a tricky spot with draft points. If he's out the door I'd take pick 4 and Ben King though.

Hate to put it out there but there is a chance that we lose Oliver and still don't have the draft capital to get Reid. If we want him gone we will probably accept unders. I know we survived without Oliver for 10weeks but we don't really have the midfield depth to cover him for a whole season. Our window will be slammed shut unless we can trade in some ready made mids.

That was my first thought if this actually eventuated. Pick 2 and 5 for 1 -> Reid Pick 3 -> Duursma or key forward if we can entice one

Do you know what's the ultimate plans for these picks? Reid and a key forward? I remember you posted being very happy about what's to come, can't imagine many people would have thought Oliver leaving would be a part of that.

Sure, and the article said?

Online heraldsun article titled "Swans' hardball Grundy play" Anyone have access?

Welcome back

Article in the sun stating roos will indeed get pick 3 because of McKays age.

I don't think so, could be wrong though. Over the years I haven't noted him to make outlandish claims about player movements. Most of what he says is fairly accurate and I put that down to him having multiple sources throughout the AFL. Doesn't mean he doesnt get stuff wrong or things change along the way. He's not Kane Cornes or a Heraldsun reporter I'll put it that way.

Ah, cheers for that. Was only listening as well.

Wouldn't have thought so. For us to even contemplate it Oliver would have to showing Hogan-like concerns. Even then, we would need to get 2 x top 5 picks. Twomey doesn't make stuff up so the only thing I would take out of this is clubs are asking.

Twomey just said clubs are enquiring about Oliver. No suggestion Melbourne would entertain it.

Tell me you have NFI without saying "I have NFI"

Collingwood were keen, they go ok

Doesn't want a premiership it seems
