I wonder if the potential to secure his financial future, guarantee 23 senior games next year and the ability to play under Roosy would get Mitchell interested? would be good to work out a deal that saw Mitchell and Malceski come to the dees next year.

It's a little bit like deal or no deal, the bank offer is pick 2 and Toumpas which doesn't seem that great at the time for a proven superstar, but if they take the chance the compo may only be something like pick 13 next year if he leaves as a free agent.

Pick 2 and Toumpas seems fair, the biggest challenge is going to be convincing Danger he wants to come, if he tells the crows that alarm bells will go off and Pick 2 would suddenly look a lot better than their potential compo Pick 2 and Toumpas seems more than a fair trade to me, leaving pick 3 to grab Brayshaw or look to secure a different deal.

A concern the crows have is with the two years they missed from the draft they were worried about creating an age gap, a few high draft picks could fix that right up

put it this way BB, every team that passed up Ollie including GWS and the Bulldogs are seriously regretting it he is easily the best player from that draft and imo better than O'meara

If we nominate pick 2 for Moore, Collingwood will call our bluff and we miss out on a better player.

we have made a lot of errors, there is no denying it really, hopefully Jimmy can make up some ground in 2015, not on Wines but at least win over some respect in the footy world in his own right, I think Wines is just going to keep getting better unfortunately

Given Robinson has had basically no interest from any other club the blues might need to take whatever they can get for him in the washup

No doubt the club are chasing Tom Mitchell, i'm not sure how we could satisfy a trade without giving up a really good pick unless they give us another player as well as Mitchell for pick 3

I reckon we simply contact Mitch Clark and say we are playing hardball to get fair compo or you can walk to the draft and good luck getting past GWS

Disagree, working on the assumption he is staying, all I think jimmy needs to do is lock down a spot in the seniors, I don't think he needs miracles just yet, Watts and Trengove have been given 4 and 3 more years to show something, Jimmy deserves a little faith a lot of good players don't show heaps in their first couple of years, but he certainly needs to show obvious improvement, but I don't believe any person at the club would make the decision that Jimmy hasn't done enough because of what Ollie Wines is doing.

I think the injury may well have been a major factor in restricting Trenners, but I agree, 2015 he needs to take steps and show he's worth persisting with, he has shown how good he can be, which is why he won't be traded this year.

Picket he's been talking to Freo for months, its not like they have swopped in at the last minute

Corey Ellis and Tom Lamb are both very good players who could easily slide to our second round pick, it would be interesting to see if we rate Stretch ahead of someone like Ellis

The rumours are based on other rumours that Tex Walker is seriously considering a move to us, really seems like something might be brewing

I think they would be tempted, they know we are getting screwed bigtime and essentially it gives us the benefit of a PP without them copping the heat for giving us one, picks 2,3 and 4 would be just what the doctor ordered for us and I doubt anyone would really question it.

The Dockers have been in the mix for Chip the whole time.

My dream offseason Pick 3 to GCS for picks 7, 15 Pick 2, 7 and Jimmy Toumpas for Patrick Dangerfield and pick 9 Pick 9 for Kristen Jacksh and pick 20 pick 15 & 20 for Tom Mitchell & Nick Malceski ( salary cap relief/ better than their F/A compo ) Pick 22 - Corey Ellis Pick 40 - Billy Stretch pick 57 - Trade to GWS for Sam Frost Sam Blease to Carlton for Mitch Robinson Mitch Clark & to Collingwood for Harry Lamumba Luke Tapscott for Jarryd Lyons

Hyperthetical based on no rumours or anything, MFC trade pick 3 to GCS for picks 7, 15 MFC trade pick 2, 7 and Toumpas to Adelaide Adelaide trade Patrick Dangerfield and pick 9 to MFC Melbourne gain Dangerfield, and go to the draft with picks 9 and 15 ( Laverde and Duggan) Adelaide gain Pick 2, 7 and Jimmy Toumpas all of this is relying on Adelaide feeling they will lose Dangerfield next year anyway, massive deal from us they couldn't possibly match and Dangerfield telling them he is going to take it either this year or next.

Freo might enter the race suggestions the trade would be clarence and danyle Pearce

I don't mind it Three unproven for one unproven and a superstar Win win if danger wants to leave anyway

this is starting to get really ugly, Roosy, Todd and Jack, take the cheque book, get on the plane and offer Pick 2 to get Ollie where he should have been in the first place.

Hahahah not only did Prendo pick up Blease once when he shouldn't have but he is now trying to trade him in to bloody carlton hahahha bloke has no idea

A hard ball get would be a good start

When's that going to be? i'd assume give Essendons season is over there is nothing stopping them?
