ask them if they'd be keen on pick 3 for Pick 11, Caldwell and Finlayson

This one is a bit left field but i reckon the Pies will be desperate to trade a couple of non essential guys to free up Cap room for Grundy, De goey and Stephenson who are all OOC next year i wonder if we could get a couple of players for pick 3 and help their cap situation out.

The Gaff rumour is a funny one because i'm pretty sure he and his manager have knocked it on the head but people keep mentioning it.

Dazzle has got me sold on Hayden Young to be honest mate so i'm fairly happy with him, option B would be to send pick 3 to the Giants and try and get say Stephens at 11, Jeremy Sharp at 18 and Jye Caldwell as well, nice boost in depth.

Josh Schache is kinda being pushed out at the dogs with Bruce coming over, they'll struggle to play all three, and is best mates with Clarry.

I still think we need to experience, run and kicking Smith provides, and if we must trade Sam Frost i don't mind the idea of trying to get Smith in return.

Gus didn't have the best year in 2019 for a number of different reasons, 2018 we saw he's a very good young player with plenty of room still to grow so i'm backing him in. the statements made today kinda hinted imo, that the Dockers expressed some interest but Melbourne told them he wouldn't come cheap and the dockers didn't feel they could realisitcally enter a discussion based on the asking price, i don't believe Mahoney when he says the dockers aren't interested, the dockers know he's a very good young player, he's got family connections to this club and he's had an average year and may feel like he needs a change to get back to his best, so they'd be silly not to ask the question. at least i hope that's what the case is, that we would expect significant compensation if he was to leave. overwhelming preference is to keep him.

God i hope so. Mitch Lewis from the Hawks would also be good.

Papley definitely fills a need that we have, i just think the Swans are asking a bit much for him, and some of the money he's being offered by other teams apparently is pretty high as well.

I wouldn't put too much stock in it mate, this time of year every these things are all over the place. just found it interesting that i heard that today and then read the post about a meeting requested by the Swans, seemed to line up.

I've heard a rumour the Swans have some interest in Mitch Hannan, perhaps that's where this rumour comes from?

Anything to help keep the little man syndrome at bay ET

Freo are off their heads if they don't ask the question of Gus. kids a gun.

Had felt for a while like he was playing us to get a better deal from the pies, which is a shame because he would have been great in our forward line

the real question is does a combo of Stephens, Sharp and potentially a steak knives player from the Giants equal to be more value than Hayden Young or Caleb Serong, I do wonder if the Bombers could be tempted to trade picks 5 & 9 (mooted compensation for Daniher) for pick 3 and our 2020 first rounder - we then back ourselves to improve if they would and we could get say Kemp, young or Serong at 5 and Lachie Ash or even Kemp at 9 i think that'd be incredible dream result would be Young at 5 and Ash at 9

I think a lot of teams will understandably be throwing big money at Jeremy Cameron, the one i'd be making a big offer to is Ben King. it's a little risky but the kid is going to be a star in my opinion, and is very likely to want to come back to Vic. i think put 850k x4 under his nose and offer the Suns pick 3 and Billy Stretch and see if they can be tempted to move him a year early.

I don't hate the idea of looking at Levi Casbault should he decide to leave, not a long term option but can take a clunk

It's a little tough to judge our key forwards this year because they had rubbish supply, it was either not enough supply, or plenty but huge numbers and horrible kicks. i reckon Jeremy cameron would have found our forward line tricky this year

i don't think there is anything to the rumors about Gus but if we hypothetically did trade him, i think we'd end up regretting it as much as the Tyson/Salem deal

I think Taylor based on the interview on the website will just take best player at pick 3 rather than positional drafting, so will be really interesting to see who they think is the third best player, makes me think we're a decent chance to draft Serong or Young as they seem to be ranked 3-4 by most people

I think there are some great people in the media who can provide some great insight and content but Kane isn't one of them, hard to take too much of what he says seriously.

Geez he's an impressive guy.

Geez i'm glad i'm not the one who has to make this decision.

would be a fair effort to be slower.

Wow that's rough. i'm sure he's a very talented young man but that comment has soured my feelings towards him hahahahhaa
