Tolstoys Nudge

I was going to do a separate post on Green tomorrow.. Things still up in the air, his vbalue will be tested on the market.. no doubt about it!! I'll have an update tomorrow night..

Your not reading the post properly mate.. Its part of a bigger deal, to which the finer details are atm unclear.. Im not suggesting a straight Seaby for 35, more likely that it includes another player or 2, and picks changing hands, alot of deals wthis year will involve several clubs in order to get them over the line..

Is it just? Thats why Connelly has been quoted on it..lol Seaby is a goal kicking Ruckman, a valuable commodity in footy, he's not gonna win us a falg, but hes certainly of interest at a bargain price, and a big help in filling the void.. your lack of footy nous continues to amaze me.. I also cant see tigers giving up Morton, however, just because we inquire does not mean the tigers want to part with him.. Miller not going to Brisbane, wont happen, they had their chance and dont seem at all interested.. As for Mitch Clark, a number of clubs have shown interest, and the lions are apparently listening to offers, so maybe they just wanna test his value and see wat bobs up, all players are tradeable if the price is right..

No, its actually to ensure them Nait.. As if we deal no.3 to freo, eagles miss out on Nait, thus the deal has been rumoured, its unlikely however..

Things have been slow the last few days during camp, but there are a few consistent rumours.. Mark Seaby appears almost a certain demon unless Warnock can somehow slip through. There is word that the demons will trade with fremantle pick 1 for 3, allowing Warnock to slip through to the PSD, but this appears dead in the water today. Thus, the Demons are in the box seat to attain the services of Seaby, with the likely deal being pick 35 being dealt by the demons, probably in a 3 or 4 team deal.. The other mooted option is a trade of pick 1 for 2, with the eagles adding in a late pick, and the proviso that the Eagles take Naitanui with the no.1 pick, leaving Watts for the dees. In other news: Melbourne are shopping a number of players including: Daniel Bell, Chris Johnson, Mark Jamar, Paul Wheatley, and the ever irrepressable Nathan Carroll amongst others for trade in order to improve their order in the upcoming National draft.. The latest specific offer that is around is Bell to the crows along with 51 for pick in return for pick 28. The demons have also approached a few clubs in regards to the availibilty of a few players including Beau Dowler, Mitch Thorp,Brent Reilly, Mitch Clarke & Mitch Morton. Hawthorn have again expressed interest in Jared Rivers, with the dees reluctant to even consider offers, unless Mitch Thorp or Dowler is attached to any offer. The saints are believed to of cooled on thoughts of trading David Armitage at this stage. Brent Prismall still remains a big possibility, however ther have been no developments.

Definately a good rookie list prospect.. I remember when he was drafted that I hoped we'd pick him up.. Someone will give him a go, lets have we at least have a look!

Exactly, he knows!

There was on ch10.. Watch sports tonight!

Well said mate! We got lucky with Col, lets no just give it away in the hope of drafting only a similiar p[layer, its pointless and down right dangerous! Garland is the future, he is ours, lets embrace it!

Very unlikely to play next year, may sneak a couple in.. Watts is LONG TERm peple, so pls, go easy, save the hate mongering for 2 years at least. He is seen as being a 3-4 development player, with a MASSIVE end result! Only in yr 11!! As for the straw poll, just a journo who went around and asked, simple really..

Guys, This is all great conjecture and helps build excitement, but watts is all done, especially after today! Some chance of us trading for a pick to get Vickery, thats the only way we'll get him..

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but falsh is a real vital part of our club, and its culture off and on field. He has finally overcome his chronic ankle injury, and will be close to becoming a full time on baller, just wait buddy, flash is about to explode, he is VITAl, and along with Garland, Morton, Grimes and Martin, 1 of our few untouchanle players!

I hope your willing to get some egg on your face, as the saints are the ones shopping him! Right now, Armitage, Prismall, Bentley and Dowler our most likely players to this point..

Jones our brightest light? cmon mate! I'll admit hes not trade bait, but u went a little far their.. Nate will be a good solid footballer, but Garland, Morton, Grimes, Mclean our our future stars!!

Was great to see JAck watts talk up our list today and say that he be only to happy to become a demon, even though he knows he will be, its still great to hear.. A straw ool taken today of the recruiters had 14 out of 16 Nominate Watts as their choice for no.1 pick, he just keeps rising and rising, get excited people, this is the best draft since 01', and were primed to select the best KPP porspect since Riewoldt, how about some enthusiasm!! Lets hope Sidebottom can slip to 17, its a chance!

What is wrong with you? Neither of those trades could work, especially the second 1! bombers would laugh! Davey is our key player, not going anywhere..

Those ppl are idiots.. They are the same ppl who cant see what Cale is capable of, and that say Meeson should be delisted and that Watts is like his cousin.. pfftt.. garland just needed to find his feet, and now taht he has, he has the whole league talking, 1 senior coach going as far as to say he is one of the best prospects down back since Scarlett.. There are also a number ofg journalists who are talking him up as an All-Australian next year.. We are on a HUGE talent here, and I know for a fact that some clubs would consider him worthy of the No.1 pick, even this year, if it wasnt for the amount of criticism they would cop from their members in the short term.. He can play small, tall, Fb, CHB, wing, even up forward, he has poise way beyond his years, does not trun the ball over, and is known to be extremely level headed on & off the field.. He is UNTOUCHABLE, the most so in our side.. Col Garland is here to stay, and I say, THANK GOD!

Cant see it, maybe rookie list prospect though!

Some people.. U wanna give up our best key back prospect in 50 years and risk it on a pick? a lottery? Seriously, you people amaze me! Colin Garland is a star, and could be a true great, bomber fans have it right, why trade a player we KNOW can handle the level, to get a kid who might not, hes 20 for gods sake! unreal! Possibily the stupedest thing i have EVER seen a demon supporter want, pick 5?? wow, damn fools..

Not dynamic enough? HE HAS HAD A CHRONIC ANKLE PROBLEM FOR 2 YEARS!!! Its been terrible, should have had it fixed a long time ago, but it kept returning, he is now finally ready for a full pre-season.. go on, call the club, ask them how bad his ankle was.. Lets see how dynamic he is now taht its finally been properly operated on, and had the scar tissue removed..

Wont happen, but it makes ALOT of sense, so u never no, i'll check it out..

Well, I hope you at least can get used to Armitage, because right now, its looking quite likely.. As for us being active in trade week, no, we wont be overly active, as a whole this trade week will be high in number of deals, but the dees will only be looking at a couple of small deals at this stage.. as topping up is not an option, and with the GC on the way, none of our trade bait will land a decent pick..

Anyone who wants Flash traded needs a CAT scan.. Aaron is our barometer, a vital cog in our engine, he is our single most important player, bar NONE!! This talk is merely stupid over analysing..

I agree with Ym on that one.. Dont be surprised, if the right offer comes along.. we'll jump @ it!!

As I said a week ago, is in talks with doggies.. Another rumour I made up? Personally, I'd love him in red and Blue, cant see it happening though..
