Trent Bianco axed by Pies. Behind too many similar players. He had a good under 18s career and looked good for them in 2021 and 2022, but seemed to lack opportunities this year despite his strong VFL form. We probably have plenty of similar types although I do admit he seemed like a one grab player with good skills and ability to kick a goal. Maybe another possible invite/train on summer option.

@david_neitz_is_my_dad👏👏👏agree. Summing up 2023 finals … “we genuinely lost both finals on the back of having no composure and being inaccurate in front of goals.

Will Brown is a smart footballer. He’s not a big ballwinner but uses his disposals and good decision maker. Is he a medium forward or a mid? Not sure. Might be somewhere in the late draft rounds or potentially a rookie. He’s leadership was apparently very good and that’s a great quality in a youngster.

We love Steven May 👏👏👏👏👏

I think so. Lots of silver medals

5th Gus 👏👏 4th May 👏👏 3rd Lever 👏👏 2nd JV7 👏👏 1st Trac 👏👏 Riv and Maxy 👏👏

Hibbo and Jake. Best mates. 👏👏👏

Windsor is the type of outside running midfielder player needed by the Dees. He likes to run with the footy and gets good “Metres” gained through “run and kick” footy. His pace is his biggest asset but what I also like is his desire to run and chase and tackle down opponents. He’s not silky skilled but it’s no weakness. I think draft pick around 16-20 is where he gets picked up.

Chol to Hawks? D’Ambrosio to Hawks? Doedee to Lions? (5yrs @600k a year!!) Koschitzke to Tigers? Stephens to Kangas? Fisher to Kangas? (Clarko loves skilled left footers!!) Adams to Sydney? Hambling to Swans? Grundy to Sydney? Jordon to Sydney (swans salary cap 🤯) Gresham to Bombers? Goldstein to Bombers? Mckay to Bombers? Harmes to Bombers? Cats? X Duursma to Bombers? (bombers as a destination club 🤮) Dow to Saints? Henry to Saints? Shiel to Saints? Wines to Cats? McAdam to Dees? Fullerton to Dees? Brockman to Eagles? Flynn to Eagles? E Himmelberg to Giants? Fantasia to Giants? E Hollands to Blues? Sweet to Power? Zerk-Thatcher to Power? Ratugolea to Power? (and no picks to trade after JHF in 2022) Coffield to Dogs?

👏👏👏Clayton Oliver will be staying🏆⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✈️ James Jordon joining Swans, Dees get end of 2nd round (circa pick 39) as compo. Good luck JJ 😘🏆 👍🏻Tom Fullarton requested trade to Dees. Ruck/fwd backup ✈️ James Harmes likely to be traded (we will always love you Harmesy 😘 🏆

Dees can get future 3rd as best deal likely. His contract cost will dictate who takes him in.

Sandringham Dragon Tarkyn O’Leary wins the 2km time trial at the Draft Combine with a run of 5:48 minutes ahead of Darcy Wilson (5:52 minutes). Both are also elite ball users and would fit in nicely in the red and blue, especially Wilson.

My prediction is 1st Viney 2nd Petracca 3rd Brayshaw 4th May 5th either of Lever / Gawn / Rivers

He kicked 30.22 in the VFL this year as a ruck/forward. He is a big bodied ruck/forward that could relieve Maxy in the 6-7 minutes a quarter but also be capable ahead of the big sticks. Means we’d let JVR be a permanent forward and potentially cover if Petty was delayed in his return.

Agreed. Sounds fair. Dees are usually good at negotiating and not dragging out arguing over loose change

Harmes is still a 50/50 to stay/go Ben Brown - can’t see him playing next year unless he gets elephant painkilling injections each quarter

If we bring in McAdam and Fullerton to add to forward line and ruck backup, then with likely 4 draft picks , I’d look at (depending on where the sudoku numbers/picks end up - elite talent… Reid/Mckercher/Sanders - elite ball users … such as running mid Darcy Wilson, half back Archie Roberts, tall defender Arie Schoenmaker - father son Kynan Brown (late pick or rookie ) still wait until the pick numbers fall post the game of trading lotto !!!

And snap …

And on 6th October … Brisbane Lions ruck/forward Tom Fullarton has requested a trade to Melbourne. 24-years-old | 19 games | 200cm | 97kg

He’s got talent. Might be getting a rookie chance this year or next. Hope he stays at Casey next year but might seek some guaranteed games and higher $$$ in SANFL

Too many games missed due to injury !! But glad he got top 3

Congratulations. He played the whole season and accumulated votes. Shame he was delisted but Dees have too many similar types. He might get another chance elsewhere.
