Demon Forever

Not sure about the Finlayson part. Tough match up and hurts most teams.

Can I ask why? I’ve just watched his highlights package and I’m not sure what you are seeing that I am not. Not having a go. Just would be interested in seeing the highlights reel that shows him being good or worthy of packaging up with the deal

Is it possible that he is in the top 30% considering saints went hard at him last year? Not out of the question

Actually don’t mind that

The question we have to ask is: (a) is getting King for pick two under Juddys scenario better than; (b) trading pick 3 to GWS for picks 11 and 13 + a player.

Brayshaw not fit. Haven’t read about the extra training him and his brothers do every preseason? 100 x 100 meter sprints. The guy is a machine with his fitness. Fitness was not his issue. Reading that we get rid of a player like brayshaw for a hill type is crazy. It’s like sacrificing the queen in chess for a pawn.

It’s getting stronger

Spot on

So talk me through it. Maybe I’ve got this whole RFA wrong. RFA means that another club can get him but GWS can match the offer considering he is in the top 25% pay bracket at the club. Right? If this is the case, couldn’t GWS manoeuvre it to allow him to come to MELBOURNE?

Going back to my point. If Tomlinson wants to head home and isn’t motivated to come to us, then perhaps it gets our foot in the door to make him consider it. It may we’ll be another player used as the steak knives but we have what they want and essentially hold the power

Giving GWS picks 15, 41 and 59 for Ed Langdon is down right stupid for only a 2nd round pick. Langdon should be done for pick 20 or whatever that turns into. I get what your trying to do but that is way over the odds.

Who mentioned trading for Tomlinson? He wants to come back to Victoria and maybe thrown in as steak knives in any such deal. Derrrr! Obviously English is not a strong point of yours

I’m not even sure how stupid we would have to be to be ok with this

I’m not saying it’s going to happen but I’ve heard for a while now that we were always going to split the picks for GWS’s picks + Tomlinson.

????? Lets try explain that once again

those worried about the dollar$$$$ This puts it in perspective Chris Dawes (2013) - Signed on for $600K per year - was Hopeless Jake Melksham (2016) - Signed on for $600K per year - Serviceable especially late 2017 Michael Hibberd (2017) - Signed on for $650K per year - Gun Mitch Clarke (2012) - Signed on for $800K per year - Couldnt get on the park Jake Lever (2018) - Potentially signing for $850K per year - AA with a lot of upside Bring Lever on $900K everyday of the week for me please!!!!!!

Exactly

Who was suggesting they do? It's being played out in the media. Seriously, some ppl!

Petracca

If anyone understands what I've just written, have confidence we will get our man

Melbourne are playing an exceptional game of bluff here. We are jostling with the Bulldogs with the idea that they want a key forward (McCartin or wright) at number 2. This won't happen unless the bullies give up something exceptional which we don't think they will. This is the bluff. We will threaten this trade all the way up until Friday to see if Saints pull the trigger on the below deal. Hence why we are making it known we are talking to the bullies. This leaves saints thinking that they may miss out on the tall they want if they do the GWS deal involving jaksch and o rourke due to the bullies potentially getting pick 2. Meaning Saints hold their number 1 pick and take a forward and hence leaving petracca to us. Brilliant strategy dees! Just brilliant!

problem is we will finish above GWS and they will take Petracca

based on the AFL ladder predictor, I have us finishing 4th last. Problm here is that Petracca wont be there, Heeney is through the Academy and Darcy Moore is FS. Meaning its brayshaw and possible the pick after him. Cards dont apear to be falling for us, but you never know.

Guys and Gals, I am still hearing that GC are entertaining MFC with the thought of having Caddy with a Bail and our last round one pick? Is anyone else hearing this? From what I have been told Melbourne are declining the offer as Bail is apparently not a tradeable player. Although some are leaning towards it more and more.... Does anyone know where Bail is from?
