Demoneyes

Anyway, I'm just MONKEYing around. A bit of a daydream believer!

It's nice to know that we are all spending tax payer dollars wisely!

Didn't say we would be offering all 3 picks. I believe we would like to keep at least one in reserve.

Like???????

Do I nreally need to explain that?

So it doesn't matter to you who is going to be there at pick 2 or 3? - That's what I'm referring to in my post.

And I'm sure it matters to the Demon recruiters which club has pick 1 and which player that club will take.

So are you sure you don't care about this?

No I don't. we would get 2 very good players at 2 & 3 if we still have them at draft time!

Sounds like Lions did not blink re Beams.

Stuck to offer of 5 and 25 (the latter would get Greenwood to Pies). No word from Pies. Effectively pick 5 and Greenwood for Beams. Sounds fair.

Just hope it does not make Coll more stubborn and go even harder in our trade for Lumumba and try to get a pick fro Greenwood. Hope we hold our nerve like the Lions did and not pay overs for HL

Wormwood trash are hell to deal with. Go figure that they didn't even finish in the 8 but all their players are champions when it comes to trade time!

Petracca and Brayshaw. Would be very happy with that.

Won't get them both. Saints with pick 1 will end that theory. However, very interesting today our posturing in regards to trengove. I thought the danger deal was dead but.......... picks 2,3 & 12 makes it interesting

Not sure about the Dangerfield rumour of trading him for picks 2&3 (which is also mooted to involve sending Toumpas back home despite the MFC website saying only recently that he was a required player). Effectively Melbourne would be giving away three top three draft picks for one player! No thanks; l don't care how good he is! I have confidence in Roos, Goodwin and Stone as being capable of developing our own superstars. It is is not as though we are in a Premiership window next year and we do have a succession plan in place with Roos/Goodwin!

I am quite happy to have Brayshaw, McCartin/Wright and Toumpas in our stable of home grown stars!

I did post a rumour about us going hard at Danger. It turns out Mahoney said we had offered picks 2 & 3 but got knocked back. Many a slip between the cup and the lip my old grandpa used to say, and we still have a wonderful 5 trade days to go!

Considering Roos spent all year talking about improving the midfield... we're not... uh, actually trading in any midfielders here.

I see a half back flanker, a key defender, and a small forward.

Build it, they will come!

Blease, Tappy and Strauss no longer have trade currency with the advent of delisted free agency.

Any club that wants them can get them for free after trade week, so why bother trading them in? At least picks have currency.

Agreed, no-one wants them. Gee we have developed them well!

Its looking as though GWS are stockpiling draft picks inside the top 20 picks to pass on to the Saints for pick 1 - which the Saints have said they want to go the the draft with 3/4 picks inside 20 like last year.

Doesn't bode well for us getting Petracca and not the best news for Petracca fans on Demonland.

I wonder if we can still force the Saints hand on this?

Who cares, we have picks 2 & 3

My old boy has watched him play and he thinks he wil be a great player. Was playing against men in the RDFL and holding a key position even dominating. If he didnt do his knee there woudl be a lot more hype about this kid.

I cannot say from personal experience with this kid but my dad has a pretty good eye when it come to local kids. He did pick little Brent Reilly as a future AFL player when he was playing juniors. He was also correct when it came to others from Romsey. So i tend to believe him if he tells me the kid can play.

Old grumpy men.. you gotta love them..

Are you describing BBO there?

The Purple Headed Warrior has thrown up a possible trade of Griffen to GWS and picks 4 and 7 to the Dogs.

Lol.

My purple headed warrior has surfaced and says there should be some action tonight!

Chambers Grand Muscat Clit - very [censored] expensive!!

BTW Ignore Moonie - he thinks "Cold Duck" is the same as Grange.

No use trying to whisper sweet nothings in my ear (nice drop though!).

Of course I'm making fun of your name clitor- that is what I do. However, to finish an evening a muscat or tokay from Rutherglen is beyond belief . Tried either of those?

Have had both. thoroughly recommend the Campbells Merchant Prince, but you may not be able to afford it?

Correct, your mind is blank Demoneyes. We knew that already.

Its nice to be with friends!

Whenever you post clit clunt -you know who I mean. My mind goes blank also and I reach for my (not Heathcote red)

Hmmm, not making fun of my name I hope? Also Wednesday night is rutherglen night!

I wanted to think of something mindless to say to go with this thread but my mind is a blank!

So much carp to trawl through

Come on be original!

What a disappointing thread this is. Wake me up when Dangerfield signs.

Ok Rip Van Winkle

So much for Roos being the master list builder. To date he has lost our number 1 forward and number 1 defender, and the best he might be able to do in return is Lumumba and Garlett, both unwanted by their current clubs. Perhaps he should cancel his holiday and work on bringing some established midfielders to the club.

The two win season we are heading for next year will be fun to watch.

Do you actually follow the Dees?

Ok, so my current wishlist of trades/player signings.

Clark to Geelong

Varcoe to Collingwood

Lumumba to Melbourne

Fitzpatrick, Blease & Pick 61 to Carlton

Garlett & Pick 46 to Melbourne

Pick 46 to GWS

Frost to Melbourne

Pick 3 & Evans to Bulldogs

Pick 6 & Hrovat to Melbourne

Delist: Tapscott, Strauss, Georgiou

Delisted Free Agent Period:

James Gwilt

National Draft:

Pick 2: Angus Brayshaw

Pick 6: Liam Duggan

Pick 23: Oscar McDonald (Take the punt)

Pick 42: Billy Stretch (F/S)

Pick 79: Neville Jetta (rookie upgrade)

Rookie Draft:

Pick 2: Jesse Watchman

Pick 20: Brett Eddy

Nice work, but do you actually have time for work?

Yea that one

That was probably Poita ringing up SEN!

I also said we were going hard at Dangerfield, not that we were getting him!

First you say we are getting Dangerfield and then you say Toumpas wants a trade. I hope for your sake there is some truth to what you are saying about Shiel or else your credibility will be smashed....

Sorry, I thought the trade period was still going? And besides that, we can only post hear what we hear. Nothing concrete!

Will you guys stop CARPing on!

We could end up with more than one pick or a higher pick for Clark, that one will be interesting. The club is not rolling over now as Geelong have found and Collingwood are not going to milk too high a pick as they did for Dawes with H.

It's going to be a very different list by the end of the draft period. I still think there may be some movement from GWS.

Yes, fascinating times ahead 'Macca'.

We are still into Shiel. Quite possibly the multi deal including Frost.

Only 2 days gone guys and 7 to go!

is this new? how have I not seen this before?

Fabulous! If only true!

Dee's obviousley looking for pace and players who can break the lines.

I'm happy with Gartlett and Lumumba as they both have those attributes we lack...

I'm just hoping we don't trade Picks 2 & 3!

Brayshaw & McCartin should be lock.

Sam Frost is the only other player we need to secure for a great trading and draft period.

Add Billy 'The Kid' Stretch.

Hands up if your happy with that?

You forget Roos' mantra...mids, mids, mids!

The media are slow sometimes! Old news

Hmmm. I think you could come up with something better than that BBO! Or haven't you opened the bottle yet?

PS: For what it's worth, Emma Quayle is a very nice reporter (if there is such a thing?)

While there is life there is hope! Either that or pull out a nice bottle of red!

Will you please stop replying to posts that have umpteen pictures on them! My scroll finger is growing warts!

lol my post was only one line though

Sorry, but it was the post you responded to!

I believe the club has been told we have pick 3
