RICHMOND

Whispers: Port Adelaide key defender Troy Chaplin is the only player who's been strongly linked to the Tigers.

Commodities: Richmond doesn't particularly have a surplus of one type of player, but it does have players it could try to trade out. Tom Derickx, Angus Graham, Addam Maric, Luke McGuane, Jayden Post, Jeromey Webberley and Matthew White would be in that mix. The Tigers would be prepared to trade players or picks, but they wouldn't go for a veteran as their premiership window is not yet open.

Needs: The Tigers need a big-bodied key defender who’s around the mid-career stage. The Brown twins, Nathan (Collingwood) and Mitchell (West Coast), fit that brief. The Tigers believe their recent record of developing recycled players is good, so they could also look at Tayte Pears (Essendon), who hasn't been the same player since returning this season from a series of injuries. Chaplin (Port Adelaide) has been on the radar for the past month.

Trade history: Richmond has been active during recent trade weeks, building up its depth and firepower through acquisitions such as Ivan Maric (Adelaide), Shaun Grigg (Carlton) and Steven Morris (GWS). Football operations boss Craig Cameron is on record as saying the Tigers will consider all avenues to strengthen their list, so there could well be more action this year.

Fantasy trade: Nathan Foley, although a popular figure at the club, could be expendable given his recent history with injury and the talent coming through in Richmond's midfield. Essendon needs midfielders. A swap of Foley for Pears could work for both parties.

--------------------------------------------------------

Port Adelaide

Troy Chaplin has been linked to Richmond and it was reported the Tigers had proposed a four-year deal. Primus said Chaplin had denied any contact with rival clubs.

Pears is a gun, injury plagued the last two seasons but with a full pre season he easily return to form. I wouldn't be trading Foley for him but he would be worth looking at if he was going cheap....

A win will just be a feather in our cap to take into 2013 and will be oh so sweet.

Understand that he'd be a slight risk but he surely wouldn't  be an expensive one.
If he can get his body right
If he improves his kicking
He definately would be a big improvement to our forward line and he could also help the mids.
it would be great to cheer on a Knights again.

The Tigers are likely to secure Port Adelaide free agent and key defender Troy Chaplin during the trade period, and are also after another midfielder, a forward and a back-up ruckman.

My main knock on him is that he has no room for development left, he is very injury prone and he is a shocking kick of the football.  I would only be happy if he came gratis - then he would be depth as you say.

Ultimate AFL trade and free agency guide

    Staff writers
    From: News Limited newspapers
    August 29, 2012


THE trade and free agency bonanza is just around the corner. Here's how your club stands, who you might gain and who's up for grabs.

News Limited's expert footy writers provide the lowdown on what to expect when the trade period kicks off two days after the Grand Final.

Who do you want your club to chase - and who are you scared of losing? Chat live with Jay Clark from noon AEST or leave a comment below.

RICHMOND

List changes: A few already. Brad Miller and Kel Moore have retired, Dan Connors is gone and Dean McDonald took indefinite personal leave early in the season. Rookie John Heslin has returned to Ireland.

Free agents: Brett Deledio (signed), Nathan Foley (signed), Luke McGuane (restricted), Shane Tuck (unrestricted), Kel More (retired)

On the move? The rumour mill has Matt White asking his manager to shop him around. There could be some interest in McGuane as a tall who can play either end. Shane Tuck is waiting on a new deal but Damien Hardwick said last week he's a required player.

Market moves: Tigers list analyst Blair Hartley, the man responsible for recruiting Bachar Houli, Shaun Grigg and Ivan Maric, set his sights months ago on Port Adelaide defender Troy Chaplin. The Tigers have expertly landed players to fill specific needs in recent years and this year that need is a gorilla to take the big forwards and free up Alex Rance. Chaplin reportedly has a four-year offer is on the table. Adelaide's Chris Knights is also a hot tip to head to Punt Rd and don't rule out free agent Jordan Russell following former Carlton teammate Grigg to Tigerland. Meanwhile, the Tigers are interested onlookers in the Travis Cloke saga.

Safe: Foley signed a new three-year deal yesterday. The big names are all locked away after Brett Deledio signed a five-year contract in March. Ty Vickery has signed until the end of 2014 while Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin and Jack Riewoldt are all contracted until at least the end of the 2013 season.

I don't see it that way, i see it as him knowing that the writing is on the wall. He just doesn't want to wait to be delisted before looking elsewhere or hope for the best. He knows he's a goner.

Dont agree Jack, kid knows he might be going or if he does stay may not get much game time.
I Dont blame him for shopping around, would rather see him play at another club that languish in Noburg with KICP etc.

Jordan Russell  :shh peeps been reading this forum  :lol

Doesnt mention anything about potential midfielders yet  :-\

He did. He told his manager to get him a deal at the tigers or anywhere else, but not to tell him where until the end of the season.

Tippett Gold Coast bound
By Kim Hagdorn
Sports News First
30 August 2012



ADELAIDE power forward Kurt Tippett looks set to continue his blossoming AFL career on the Gold Coast from next year.

It now looks certain the big Crow will move to the two-year old Suns after five seasons with the Crows.

Tippett, 25, has postponed contract talks with Adelaide management as expectations intensify that the big forward will head back to his home state of Queensland.

Brisbane and Gold Coast are both in the market to win Tippett’s services.

But it is understood the Suns are virtually assured of winning his signature on a lucrative deal.

Tippett’s move is highly unlikely to be confirmed and certainly not announced by Adelaide or the Suns until after the Crows finals campaign next month.

Crows coach Brenton Sanderson has already stated that even if Tippett revealed his intention to leave, the big goal-scoring force would play a vital role up forward in the Crows premiership quest over the next month.

He has played 100 Crows games and booted 182 goals since he was selected as a second round pick and number 32 overall at the 2006 national draft.   

Tippett’s imminent departure from the Crows is a vital step in pending decisions on a host of big forwards or ruckmen awaiting to confirm moves or to accept contract offers from existing clubs.

Collingwood powerhouse Travis Cloke remains the biggest sticking point for several sought after utility players.

Cloke, 25, has stalled his contract talks with Pies management and remains a certain potential recruiting coup for Carlton and Richmond, as well as even the Crows with a final confirmation that Tippett will walk out.

Cloke’s Magpies premiership teammate Tyson Goldsack and injury ravaged big Essendon forward Scott Gumbleton are two exciting young stars out of contract at the end of the season and understood to be top priority targets for a host of clubs.

West Coast 2006 premiership big man Quinten Lynch is also out of contract and a potential target for eastern seaboard clubs if he fails to come to terms on a new deal.

Lynch, 29, received a public assurance from Eagles coach John Worsfold this week he remained a key component to this year’s finals campaign despite being dropped for West Coast’s strong win over Collingwood in Perth with the return of key forward Josh Kennedy after a four-month injury layoff.

Gumbleton, Goldsack and Lynch are expected to become a prime big forward and back-up ruck targets once more firm indication emerges from Tippett and Cloke with their intentions.

Banner looked a promising junior footballer (wingman/HFF) albeit needed some work to add more to his game. I know some people at the time rated him highly and thought Port got him for a bargain at pick 42 in the 2008 draft. Obviously others clearly didn't and that's why he dropped. Ones of the knocks on him is he lacks a defensive side to his game. He's done hardly anything at AFL level apart from probably a game or two late last year where he kicked 2-3 goals and had 20 or so possies. Being injury prone hasn't helped. He's playing SANFL ressies for Port Magpies at the moment after coming back about a month ago from his latest knee injury which kept him out for most of this year. As a Tiger supporter the fear would be he could become another Mitch Farmer and an injury prone one to boot if he crossed over to us. I hope the rumour is false.

Rather a Ben Jacobs if we were after poaching another Port player [Edit: Just saw your post Ruanaidh. Great minds think alike  :thumbsup].

I know some people at the time rated him highly and thought Port got him for a bargain at pick 42 in the 2008 draft. Obviously others clearly didn't and that's why he dropped. Ones of the knocks on him is he lacks a defensive side to his game. He's done hardly anything at AFL level apart from probably a game or two late last year where he kicked 2-3 goals and had 20 or so possies. Being injury prone hasn't helped. He's playing SANFL ressies for Port Magpies at the moment after coming back about a month ago from his latest knee injury which kept him out for most of this year. As a Tiger supporter the fear would be he could become another Mitch Farmer and an injury prone one to boot if he crossed over to us. I hope the rumour is false.

Rather a Ben Jacobs if we were after poaching another Port player [Edit: Just sure your post Ruanaidh. Great minds think alike  :thumbsup].

Banner is a lot better than Mitchy Farmer. I'd probably take him if we got him for free. Jacobs...:( Poor mans Matty Dea. Not sure I want Port players. Never stuffing works out for us.

Banner has barely got a game in a poor side, perhaps being in a good footy environment will get the best out of him but im telling ya he s no adam maric :shh..personally i hope we re into mckernan, he looks like being anyhting...get him into a elb club and whoa  :shh

Yeah but you think Joan Rivers would be a gun CHB in a good footy enviroment.

he gets plenty of ball at the lower level and seems to have a decent tackle count for someone who is regarded as needing to improve his defensive side.
from what i can garner reading around the traps he is an old fashioned natural footballer that can kick with both feet. Not overly quick but natural footballs can make up this.

Most port supporters seem bewildered he hasn't got more of a go in the seniors.

considering he is playing reserves in the SANFL after a extended injury lay off, he should come cheap, if we are actually interested

Agree flags. But the club was spot on with Ivan Maric when alot of us weren't sure it was the right call.
I hope they get it right every time.

I also hope they trade nanas. I know alot of people like him but I think now would be a great time to trade him as I think he would have good currency at the moment. Time to pull the trigger.

From BF:

- Been reported that the club will be after 3 mids with our first three picks, and we will be using the rookie draft as an injury buffer

- Nahas to the north had a tonne of currency, but now being reported by the HUN he is likely to stay.

- Rumours Post is unhappy, and may be walking. No info on clubs interest in him though, and what (if anything) we may get for him assuming he goes [ed. Brisbane was mentioned on the drafts and trading board of BF]

- Rumours we are also looking into Cook from Sandy, but sounds like we have some company on that one.

Rumour has it Jordan Gysberts looks like he wants out of Melbourne as well.

Free agency: Where your club stands
By Adam Jones, Ben Hocking and Michael Rogers
Source: BigPond Sport
Thursday, September 06, 2012


AFL LOWDOWN: We analyse the position of all 18 clubs as the AFL heads into its first free agency period...

RICHMOND

Restricted: Luke McGuane
Unrestricted: Shane Tuck

Who they could lose: Tuck has almost certainly played himself into a new deal at Punt Rd, having been declared a "required player" by Damien Hardwick. McGuane's status is less certain, and the 25-year-old may attract interest from rival clubs looking for a versatile tall.

What they need: The Tigers are on the lookout for more experience this off-season with Troy Chaplin, Chris Knights and Jordan Russell all in the mix. Key defender Chaplin is already packing his bags for Tigerland if persistent rumours are to be believed, while Russell would fit right in alongside ex-Blues teammate Shaun Grigg.

ADELAIDE

Unrestricted: Chris Knights

Who they could lose: Knights has only played five games this year and would benefit from a move elsewhere. Melbourne and Richmond are both believed to have shown interest in the 25-year-old Victorian.

PORT ADELAIDE

Restricted: Troy Chaplin

Who they could lose: Chaplin has reportedly been offered a four-year deal by Richmond.

Knights a free agent
By Kim Hagdorn
Sports News First
6 September 2012 11:44AM EST



ADELAIDE utility Chris Knights is emerging as another early candidate to enter the AFL’s new free agency trade market.

After almost a three-year battle with foot, ankle and thigh injuries Knights has been unable to secure a regular spot in the strong Crows line-up and looks headed to pursue a switch in an ambitious bid to resurrect his stalled career.

Knights, 26, has managed just five games in Adelaide’s meteoric rise back into the upper echelon of the league’s ladder this year after making 16 appearances last season when the Crows finished a dismal 14th.

He struggled to break into the strong and relatively injury-free Crows line-up early this season with more groin and thigh problems and the blistering form of Adelaide’s energised on-ball machine.

He is not expected to figure strongly in Crows coach Brenton Sanderson's selection plans for this month's finals series.

Knights was a casualty of Adelaide's shock 10-point loss to Brisbane at the Gabba in Round 21 last month when he managed only seven disposals.

He temporarily broke back into the Crows midfield for the month from Round 12 to 16, but made just the one more appearance against the Lions.

He is considered only a borderline contender to win a place back in the Crows finals outfit after Saturday's home game showdown with Sydney.

Knights can enter the league’s historic free trade system from October 1-19 totally unrestricted in his potential movement.

He is officially listed as an unrestricted free agent with his eight years of unbroken Crows service and is not inside Adelaide’s top 25 percent of salary earners.

The tough half-forward and occasional midfielder who has booted 68 goals in his 96 Crows outings is tipped to join departing Melbourne on-baller Brent Moloney as initial players opting for the free trade scheme to find a new club.

It is believed that Essendon has shown the most interest in Goddard, but the Bombers are understood to be reluctant to commit to a deal over four or five years in the vicinity of $800,000 a season. Many clubs, including Geelong, have registered an interest in Goddard but almost all have so far baulked at his price. It is believed Goddard's preference is to remain in Melbourne.

St Kilda coach Scott Watters this week denied that key forward Justin Koschitzke would be put up for trade next month. According to the Saints, the 30-year-old remains under contract for one more year.

Adelaide key forward Kurt Tippett, 25, appears certain to leave the Crows after their finals campaign, with Gold Coast the frontrunner. The off-contract Tippett is being lured home to Queensland, with the Suns and Brisbane both chasing him with similar deals.

Gold Coast is preparing for life after Josh Caddy, with the promising midfielder set to tell the Suns he wants to be traded home to a Victorian club.

Carlton defender Jordan Russell has left the club. Russell and his management held talks with Carlton officials yesterday where he informed them he would pursue a fresh start as an unrestricted free agent.

Essendon forward Angus Monfries remains unsigned and in demand, with Port Adelaide chasing his services. Although his priority is to remain at Windy Hill, it is believed Monfries will be offered no more than a two-year deal. It is believed Port may be willing to offer the 25-year-old the security of a four-year contract to return to South Australia. Jay Clark from the Herald-Sun on twitter says "Angus Monfries to Melbourne. Four year deal. Rival clubs convinced it's happening. Dees need a hard working small forward."

Eagle Quinten Lynch is looming as a bargain-priced alternative in Carlton's search for an established key forward.

Collingwood is also pursuing a versatile big man. Melbourne's Stefan Martin, 25, is believed to be on the radar.

Magpies back-up ruckman Cameron Wood is out of contract and faces an uncertain future beyond this season.

Is he? Tall enough to play forward and part time ruck in a Vickery roll anyway. He only came in to ruck this year because their 478863246899 rucks were injured.

And re: him signing, he's a rookie. Warnock is the tall that signed. Shouldn't be hard to tempt a rookie over. If they get Cloke he will get knocked down the pecking order even further.  I'm only thinking bang for buck anyway. I don't think he'll ever turn into a gun, I just think he can output more than the chips he would cost.

For those interested, Troy Chaplin finished equal 4th in the Power's B & F this year.  He polled 14 votes from 18 games, winner was Kane Cornes with 18 votes from 22 games.  As a comparison Alipate Carlisle polled 11 votes from 20 games.  He polled in 11 of 17 games and was leading the count after Round 17.  No-one equal or above him in the count played less games except Schulz who also polled 14 votes from only 15 games and won their goalkicking with 42 goals.  Would seem he is one of their better-rated players, internally at least.

Yep it was initially posted on the drafts and trading BF board. It claimed us and Melbourne were keen and then on the Richmond board someone claimed a swap of Post for Karnezis. Obviously according to blaisee here the rumour is garbage.

Seaby at the Swans looking at moving to a third club apparently. I think we were linked to him at one stage the year before he moved to the Swans.

I've never understood why people on the net rate Toy so highly. I haven't seen him do anything even as far as just potential to be worth the hype around him.

From today's Herald-Sun:

RICHMOND - Rivals seem to have accepted Troy Chaplin and Crow Chris Knights are headed to Richmond as free agents.

PORT ADELAIDE - Port is chasing Angus Monfries and is interested in Brent Moloney. Travis Boak is off the table after signing a two-year deal to stay at Port but Troy Chaplin appears set to head to Punt Rd.

ADELAIDE - Midfielder David Mackay signed a three-year contract last week. Holding pattern on Kurt Tippett until the season is over.

BRISBANE - See above re Tippett, the Lions' No.1 target. Young utility Ryan Lester has joined Claye Beams and Josh Green in signing new deals with the Lions.

CARLTON - The Blues are believed to be very interested in big West Coast forward Quinten Lynch as well as Magpie Travis Cloke.

COLLINGWOOD - Cloke's future remains up in the air, although Nathan Buckley said yesterday he was confident Trav would stay. Sharrod Wellingham, Harry O'Brien, Andrew Krakouer and Tyson Goldsack all remain unsigned.

ESSENDON - Port Adelaide is making a big play for forward Angus Monfries. Port is believed to be dangling a four-year deal, two more than what the Bombers are prepared to offer the 25-year-old. The Bombers are still keen on Gold Coast midfielder Josh Caddy but their first draft pick is No.10 and they have already committed to using that on father-son pick Joe Daniher - leaving the door open for the Cats or Saints to pounce with a better deal. Essendon is reportedly keen on Brendon Goddard but no offer has been made to the Saints' management.

GEELONG -  Geelong is one club believed to be interested in Demon Jared Rivers given the impending retirement of Matthew Scarlett. They are also said to be enthusiastic about the long-term prospects of Jordan Gysberts. Reports have linked Shannon Byrnes to Melbourne and the Cats with Josh Caddy.

MELBOURNE - Where do we start? Liam Jurrah has quit to be closer to family in Adelaide, so has No.12 draft pick Lucas Cook and last year's best-and-fairest winner Brent Moloney. And other clubs are very interested in talking to Jared Rivers and Jordan Gysberts. The Dees could turn over 10-11 players and Mark Neeld says a play for Travis Cloke is news to him. Reports the Dees are into Monfries are off the mark.

ST KILDA - Goddard might still stay, despite the rumours doing the rounds. He definitely hasn't signed a four-year deal with Fremantle. Talks with the Saints are ongoing, with an extra year believed to be the sticking point - he wants four, St Kilda has offered three. St Kilda is the latest to join the race for Josh Caddy. Nick Dal Santo's name has been mentioned as a possible trade option to get a desperately needed key defender.

SYDNEY - Brent Moloney could be the next Josh Kennedy. The former Demon is a free agent and the Swans could get him for nothing.

WEST COAST - Carlton is keen on Quinten Lynch. Mitch Brown and Koby Stevens remain on the outer.

W.BULLDOGS - Will Minson is believed to be undecided about his future after being offered only a one-year deal by the Dogs. He's on holiday in South America.

Caddy hasnt done anything to show he is worth what GCS would be wanting IMHO.
He has showed enough that suggests he will be a very very good player. I agree though that GC will be asking for too much, hence why I think we won't come to the party. Let's think logically about it though:

Essendon want him but cannot accommodate GC due to pick 10 going to Daniher.

St Kilda could offer up it's first pick and a player if they were keen on him. Geelong you would think would need to give a good young player and their first pick. Both these teams have a pick later than our 9.

Melbourne and Footscray could potentially wait until the PSD and try to secure him through there.

Carlton and N0rt would also be interested, once again we have an earlier pick than both and IMO would be just as appealing to Caddy.

Who is in the box seat? GC can demand what they want, but the above is what they have to work with, and Caddy will go for nothing if they don't take something for him.

Caddy hasnt done anything to show he is worth what GCS would be wanting IMHO.
He has showed enough that suggests he will be a very very good player. I agree though that GC will be asking for too much, hence why I think we won't come to the party. Let's think logically about it though:

Essendon want him but cannot accommodate GC due to pick 10 going to Daniher.

St Kilda could offer up it's first pick and a player if they were keen on him. Geelong you would think would need to give a good young player and their first pick. Both these teams have a pick later than our 9.

Melbourne and Footscray could potentially wait until the PSD and try to secure him through there.

Carlton and N0rt would also be interested, once again we have an earlier pick than both and IMO would be just as appealing to Caddy.

Who is in the box seat? GC can demand what they want, but the above is what they have to work with, and Caddy will go for nothing if they don't take something for him. Having put all that together, it all becomes redundant if we are not willing to part with pick 9, which wouldn't suprise me at all.  :whistle

cats will be the clear favourites, now that Boak has resigned.

Ablett compo picks :thumbsup

The thing about overpaying for a big fish is that you rule yourself out of free agency in the coming years and put yourself under salary cap pressure that you're more likely to lose a good player rather than gain one in a year or two.

A question for everyone? If Gold Coast can't do a trade for Caddy I believe he automatically becomes an unrestricted free agent once his contract runs out and he is delisted. Now can he still choose which club he wants to go to and get there no questions asked as a free agent or would he have to still take the lottery risk of getting picked up by anyone in either the National or Preseason drafts? I'm asking because what is stopping a club (say us) telling Caddy to wait out the trade period and us picking him up as a free agent for nothing rather than trading away our first pick plus more?

I would to Ramps but with dopey AA in charge of setting up these free agency rules you never know and I'm looking to see if there's a loophole somewhere in there as North found with the old 10-year rule back in the early 70s.

fair enough only question i would have is has he performed okay at afl when played.
he looks to be more of a kel moore type of player at 87kg not big enough to regularly take on the big kpfs.taylor and lonergan have had that job in recent yrs and scarlett has mopped up.
when he was first drafted geelong had similar types in milburn and rooke and harley was running around.
they have a good record with tall defenders mat egan is another whose career was ruined by injury. i dont think they would hang onto a bloke for 4 yrs if they didnt think he could play.
reckon hes one who is just starved of opportunity hes only 22 and been around 4 yrs in their system. think he wanted out last yr and geelong insisted he was required.

would have thought hes exactly the type of player blair hartley is supposed to be looking at. a player with talent but not getting a game.is sort of a jeremy laidler type with his size.

while talking tall defenders who do we actually have who are  genuine tall defenders.not including tall forwards who may or may not become decent defenders.

rance, grimes, post to me thats it havent thrown mcguane in there as hes been a liability down back for yrs.

would be great to see some genuine depth in this area.

add  chaplin gillies, lee and rookie a mature player like kyle hartigan to rance, grimes, post, and you suddenly have real depth of genuine tall defenders.

it leaves us free to develop what tall forwards we do have as forwards. the following are first and foremost forwards.

riewoldt, griffiths, astbury, elton, vickery, and with tom lee as the genuine kpd/kpf the right numbers with all bar maybe elton ready to make a contribution.
imo we dont really need to draft tall forwards we have enough  and just need to develop them. we could probably do with a mature forward to help jack and cover if he got hurt in the short term.
its down back we should be targeting.




True. But he's a fairly mature age and he's come into the side quite a few times and failed to hold his spot.

BF sucks but to entertain that I'd be keen and sounds plausible. Conca is a contracted first rounder and proven, so a first round + early pick player would be bare minimum. We get another pick inside 20, a 'mature' midfielder and all of the sudden we can take our second rounder to the trade table. Two well reserched first round picks + Stevens > Conca. Could get 2-3 Concas out of it.

Get it done, Tiges  :clapping™

Trading Gaff defeats the point. They're looking for a succession to Kerr. Either they have someone pigeon holed and Conca to replace them, or they see Conca as an inside ball winner and to replace Kerr eventually himself. Of they traded Gaff then they'd be looking for another trade to then replace him. In this draft we could take 2 x Concas in the top 20 and a diet-Conca (Stevens), and then throw our second rounder + Post or White or someone at a playeron the fringe somewhere that could fill an immediate role for us.

The greater good for the club > an individual.

We can bid but they get to take him with their next pick which will be mid 20's. I was saying these pricks were tanking from early on in the season to use the scully compo picks and get viney for stuff all in a strong draft. They are a disgrace to football and the afl is a bigger disgrace for not cottoning onto this fact.

GWS and GC if they bid on him that forces Melbourne to use their next pick on him which is 3, but I doubt either of those sides will nominate him, he's probably a realistic top 5 pick, prob not a top 2-3 pick.

The oly solace I take is they are a pathetic rabble of a footy club that will never utilize the fruits of their "labour" due to sheer incompetence and it looks as though the very fabric of the club is falling apart with players wanting out badly

Very unlikely to be traded to Richmond.
After overlooking him to take Derickx two years ago, it is unlikely people at Richmond (or any other club for that matter) would so clearly admit their error.

Melbourne have come out and said they will take best available, so if GC bid to take him with their pick 2, melbourne will let him go as they feel there are a couple better prospects available at that very top end. The only hope is that GC will bid on him(and happily take him at pick 2) if the dees dont match it, as Viney fills a need for GC (inside mid), GWS will not risk taking him with pick 1 as there is better available.

It seems that because they have two picks in the first round, only Gold Coast and GWS can force them to use pick 3. It was reported earlier in the year that GWS had already decided to use their first bid and Vic clubs were lobbying Gold coast to do so as well  :lol

I will spew if they got viney at their sub 20 pick and a gun at 3.
i think the question should be why would they. bid on him and they run the risk of not getting a crack at much better credentialled players. imo there are 5 or 6 players easily in front of viney for various reasons.
hard at it inside mids  like viney are often taken later in the draft just look at andrew swallow.
read somewhere that melbourne could use one of their picks 3 or 4 on jack martin in the mini draft.
personally i think if they use their picks in the nd  melb will go 3/grundy 4/ toumpas/orourke. 13 garlett/kennedy 26viney.

for losing scully melbourne get pick 4 straight after their first rnd pick  and pick 13 mid first rnd pick. they go with their first rnd pick 3 and their second rnd pick 26. from what i can make of it compensation picks are excluded from f/s scenarios other wise melbourne would probably have to give up pick 13 to get viney.

OK, the compo picks not being part of the equation changes things quite a bit.

If Gold coast or GWS don't bid their first pick then viney will slip through the second round. In a round about sort of a way this makes compo picks more valuable to the clubs that have father son prospects.

hopefully the report that GWS have decided to bid their first pick is true. Either way Melbourne are forced to use the early pick or GWS will get a kid who will probably be looking to go home in two years time. Win/Win situation

Jesse White (Sydney)

Pro's
He's only 24.
He's a ruck/forward
He's from a good successful club with excellent culture. Hasn't been able to string games together because he's third in line as a ruck or forward option.

Some said the same about Ivan Maric. Also I had alot of negative posts when I first named Knights as a FA option. Looks as though the club was thinking the same thing.
I'm not saying he's as good As Maric but we need an alternative to Vickery if he gets injured.
And we also need another ruck for Maric.
The bonus with White is that he can play both ruck and forward and he's still young. He adds a better depth option than anyone we have at the moment.
A straight swap for Mcguane would be a good deal IMO.

correct. Unless the clubs are paying 100% S.Cap then they are stuffed in years to come.

Caddy wants to go to Collingwood. All good and well but he is a contracted player and Pies would have to cough up a player and picks

More likely Cats with one of their compo picks

Reckon if he gets his body right would be very handy of the half forward flank for us. If we could get Chaplin /Knights for next to nothing i think we are ahead. Happy also to look for another ruckman to help the big man out who's available is the key.

Geelong has joined in the chase for Brendon Goddard.

Quinten Lynch will make a decision on his future on Friday. Carlton could be interested if they missed out on Cloke.

Eagles midfielder Koby Stevens is weighing up his future and is on the radar of Victorian clubs.

Blue Robbie Warnock has been linked to St Kilda and GWS.

Essendon has opened contract negotiations with Nathan Lovett-Murray.

Port Adelaide has expressed strong interest in former Melbourne midfielder Brent Moloney. Gold Coast will this week decide whether to pursue him too.

What happens with Cloke will decide the futures of Harry O'Brien, Andrew Krakouer, Sharrod Wellingham and Tyson Goldsack at the Pies.

What would we get in return for Gus?

Great to think someone wants him  :rollin

I'd settle for their 3rd rounder

Good.. He's old and won't do anything there. He's an Essendon type of midfielder.

A Pies fan on BF:

Richmond made contact with Eagle Ashley Smith's management months ago and were very interested about getting him accross, however it seems richmond has made contact with loads of players so their interest may have died down a little?

Carlton midfielder Tom Bell is at the centre of a conundrum as Blues officials try to juggle their senior and rookie lists.

Bell, 21, appears to be fourth in line, behind fellow rookies Levi Casboult, Ed Curnow and Zach Tuohy, for elevation to the senior list, despite an impressive 2012 season.

If Bell isn't elevated to the senior list and Carlton only offers another year on the rookie list, he could field offers from rival clubs that would be interested in placing him on their senior list.

Talk about getting ahead of yourself, Bell is a hack and had a couple games where he got a few kicks. I'd be happy staying on the Blues rookie list if I were him, if he's any good next season they'll elevate him.

As if what you get at pick 9 is any less of an unknown than what was effectively pick 6 last year with a years development under his belt

This is a warped way of thinking . . . there is absolutely no link between Griggs ability and Bells. The only thing in common they have is that they both have played for Carlton, to try and say we can trade X player on our list for Bell and come out trumps because 2 years ago we did it for Grigg is just crazy.  :help

SEN reporting that Moloney has nominated Essendon as his club of choice.

Good.. He's old and won't do anything there. He's an Essendon type of midfielder.
dont know what his age has to do with it. only question we need ask is can he play will he be an upgrade on any player we have cut.
 the answer to those questions is an emphatic yes.
tough experienced inside mid he would have filled foleys shoes pretty well this yr.
we moan about the lack of midfield depth but then moan about players being too old who would cost nothing but their salary. players who are massive upgrades in the short term on what we have.

fair dinkum we could do  6 or 7 mature players and 5 or 6  kids this yr.

i would not hesitate to take moloney chaplin knights as free agents.
i would also be looking to take late nd and rookie picks players  from state leagues like
kyle hartigan 23yo kpd
james boyd 23yo rover
kyle martin 22yo mid
michael sikora 23yo ruckman
sam dwyer  23 24 yo mid
and there are plenty others who would be mbetter options than those we have cut and some who remain on our list.

forget about his age tell me one midfield player who is up for grabs who is better than moloney. who cares if we only get 3 yrs out of him it would be three yrs of better footy than we would get out of lots of others.

to be honest dont know much about him. saw about 3 or 4 of his games for carlton but didnt pay attention.  wasnt he rookied from queensland some where. came from soccer i think so he may have a fair  bit of upside as far as smarts  and development goes.
hes certainly one big unit and certainly tackles. dont know if he gets enough ball or uses it well enough or how many smarts he has. just havent seen enough.  seems  plenty quick and agile enough.  going by what little ive seen he  looks promising and with his size could be a real weapon.  only 21 in his first season on a list
cant see them cutting him to be honest reckon they will sort something out.

hes certainly one big unit and certainly tackles. dont know if he gets enough ball or uses it well enough or how many smarts he has. just havent seen enough.  seems  plenty quick and agile enough.  going by what little ive seen he  looks promising and with his size could be a real weapon.  only 21 in his first season on a list
cant see them cutting him to be honest reckon they will sort something out.

I agree but they may not have a choice. Looks like they will have to elevate 4 rookies! Surly someone will have a posie for him on there primary list.

SEN reporting that Moloney has nominated Essendon as his club of choice.

Good.. He's old and won't do anything there. He's an Essendon type of midfielder.
dont know what his age has to do with it. only question we need ask is can he play will he be an upgrade on any player we have cut.
 the answer to those questions is an emphatic yes.
tough experienced inside mid he would have filled foleys shoes pretty well this yr.
we moan about the lack of midfield depth but then moan about players being too old who would cost nothing but their salary. players who are massive upgrades in the short term on what we have.

fair dinkum we could do  6 or 7 mature players and 5 or 6  kids this yr.

i would not hesitate to take moloney chaplin knights as free agents.
i would also be looking to take late nd and rookie picks players  from state leagues like
kyle hartigan 23yo kpd
james boyd 23yo rover
kyle martin 22yo mid
michael sikora 23yo ruckman
sam dwyer  23 24 yo mid
and there are plenty others who would be mbetter options than those we have cut and some who remain on our list.

forget about his age tell me one midfield player who is up for grabs who is better than moloney. who cares if we only get 3 yrs out of him it would be three yrs of better footy than we would get out of lots of others.

What are your thoughts on Bell from Carlton Craw?
Would be getting him before Moloney!
Started looking like a real spud but developed really rapidly into a reasonable player. Would develop into a monster mid!
Get it done Tiges!
moloney comes for free what will bell cost unproven 7 game player that he is.
we are screaming out for tough experienced on field leaders who can lead by example and moloney fits that to a tee.
150 odd games of experience and tougness that would take a lot of work load of the likes of tuck and foley.

admitedly hes coming of a poor yr.
but you need only go back one yr and you find a player who averaged 24 possesions agame played tough uncomprmising and accountable footy laid something like 124 tackles and is decent inside and out.
what the hell has tom bell done again.

the only time moloney has been poor in his career was 06 07 and 08. the first two yrs op cruelled him and in 08 he did his shoulder. once he put those injuries behind him hes been very good apart from this yr.
moloney would be an upgrade as far as mids go on
jackson, grigg, nahas, edwards, king, white newman, houli, give more atm than conca, ellis, arnot, helbig, and at his best on a par with foley. and you dont want him well bugger me.
simply put brent moloney would be a massive upgrade on many of the mids and so called mids that we have and he would not cost a thing other than his salary.

Collingwood has shown interest in out of contract Giant ruckman Jonathan Giles.

St Kilda is a serious chance to snare young Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey, who is considering a move to Melbourne for personal reasons despite his Queensland origins. They are understood to have offered Hickey a three-year contract.

The Saints also met with homecoming midfielder Josh Caddy, who is returning to Victoria after two years with the Suns and is meeting with a number of Victorian clubs. Caddy has had shoulder surgery and is on the radar of most Victorian clubs. Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Geelong, St Kilda and North Melbourne have all registered an interest.

The Demons are pursuing out- of-contract Collingwood wingman Sharrod Wellingham, who was coached by Mark Neeld when the Melbourne coach was coaching the Collingwood midfield.

The prospect of Giles up forward for the pies is quite a dangerous proposition, being able to replace dawes he take take big marks and kick goals. More importantly Jolly could get a good rest up forward as Giles is no slouch in the ruck.

We should try and get him, imagine the relief for Ivan and still having vickery as an option too? Dangerous fws line ruck combo

I certainly did after a big chunk of my posts also got removed along with your references to me as having an incestuous relationship with TFT.

Never was the "C" word ever associated with my reply and for you to think so is scurrilous. Good Sir, you are nothing but a Cad and a Bounder.

Ok, I DID NOT NAME HIM AS A TOP UP PLAYER.......IS THAT CLEAR?????? I was generalising.

I said I wouldn't trade away pick 9 thats it, clear cut, nothing to read into. Enough said, IMO we keep pick 9...pretty easy to understand..

Giles is a noted Goal Kicker as well and with good strong hands in contested situations. I watched quite a number of his games live and he did pretty well considering the quality of the disposal to to him more often than not was pretty ordinary. I can't believe that GWS haven't stitched him up yet with Phillips and Downie still early in their development and Brogan is just limping along barely and his future is still up in the clouds anyway.

I was thinking something similar though would Giles come over knowing his role would be forward/ruck rather than exclusive/1st ruck? I wonder where this would place Vickery too? Would be a great inclusion because, as you say, we all saw what happened when Big Ivan didn't play against the Suns!  :o

Stripes, the impression I got from the games I watched is he really enjoyed going forward and bagging a few goals. As he is so mobile, he is almost an Eddie Everywhere type who is also solid in defence.

I agree. I was just thinking out loud about rucks and player in general, not just Giles. But to entertain the idea of Giles we could tell him if he were interested in joining a traditionally big club on the cusp of finals, he would be in direct competition with Vickory for the tall forward/ruck relief position which is a very important role in our structure.

As Tiga says, you are not going to lure a young bloke to the club soley as backup, but if you tell him there are two spots in the forward line for the taking and if he is good enough one will be his, if he's confident in his ability he should take the challenge.

Liam Pickering on SEN confirmed Quentin Lynch has chosen Carlton as his preferred club to move to and will be on a plus $300k p.a. contract for years.

That's interesting. Either the Blues feel Cloke is staying as a Pie (likely) or he's headed elsewhere.?

Edwards is a good player Wat, take your hater shades off.

Just think he would make good trade bait but you said it he is "good" only sometimes though. :thumbsup

BTW I don't hate anyone mate... ;)
He kicked 28 goals from 15 matches.  Kicking nearly 2 goals a game as a small forward is a good return.  Could easily kick 40+ next year.

Stats only mean something when is suits people.

Like 8th place in a Best and Fairest for someone in their sixth season.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean WAT. :lol :rollin :lol

Should be offering up Edwards for Morton and Krakour, even after a stint in the big house and a knee reco Krak is better......he used to cop it from all and sundry on this forum and you know what he was/is still better than Edwards...Morton is much harder at the ball now than ever, I really didn't want him traded and wished he had stayed.

Should of traded Edwards two years ago, forget the stats, they show little comparatively to on field...

edwards kicked more goals than both of them combined...epic fail there sport :lol

Pretty hard for Krak to kick goals with a torn ACL, champ. Also hard for Morton to kick goals when he is emergency every week and kicking 8 a game in the ressies.

Pitty there wasn't a stat for getting bumbed or thrown, outbodied or beaten one on one for the ball, he would be leading that too.

Scoring assists are easy when you wait on the outskirts of the pack for the easy revieve rather than getting in and under, but I suppose if he did that he would be injured.

agree with WAT - don't think he'll improve structure and would rather that spot go to one of our younger blokes...way to much to pay for a "depth bloke" although at Carlton with Waite as your focal point I guess you'd be looking for anyone big who can stay on the park

West Coast expects to know this week whether Quinten Lynch will re-sign or pursue a trade to a Melbourne-based club.

It is understood Carlton could secure Lynch, 29, on a two-year deal worth about $250,000 a season.

But Collingwood, which is also circling another big man, also could enter the market for Lynch.

From today's Herald-Sun:

Ben Jacobs wants home

Port Adelaide backman Ben Jacobs wants to return to Victoria after resisting contract offers from the Power.

After two years at Port, the pin-point left-footer is in Melbourne this week to discuss his future with rival clubs. Geelong and Essendon are hunting another class midfielder, while North Melbourne and St Kilda rated Jacobs highly in his draft year.

Trying to win the 20-year-old's signature would be a priority for the next Port Adelaide coach, to be appointed next week. But it is understood Jacobs would prefer a fresh start closer to family.

The 186cm playmaker was an All-Australian in his draft year after averaging 29 touches at the under-18 national championships. But his development stalled this season. The strongly built defender/midfielder was dropped in Round 15 and was unable to regain his spot.

The former Brighton Grammar captain who was taken pick No.16, is the third player selected in the first round of the 2010 draft to indicate he wants to move on, after Gold Coast midfielder Josh Caddy (No.7) and Melbourne key forward Lucas Cook (No.12).

Adam McPhee to flee

Adam McPhee could be lured back to Melbourne three years after walking out of Essendon for Fremantle.

The Dockers have offered McPhee a modest one-year deal despite him blossoming under Ross Lyon this season.

Originally from Narre Warren, he still has strong family connections in Melbourne and may look to move -- either for a better one-year deal or a two-year arrangement.

Although McPhee turns 30 next month, he offers versatility as a player who is strong overhead down back and capable of pinch-hitting forward.

Two Bombers weigh up their futures

Another player offered a one-year deal, Essendon's Scott Gumbleton, is weighing his future, while teammate Angus Monfries remains unsigned as Port Adelaide circles.

Got pretty good numbers in the games he has played so far. Even took most of the kickouts. His kicking was stuffing terrible in a lot of games though. Obviously he's a good kick though if they trusted him to take the kick ins. Or they were tanking perhaps.

Not sure on him tbh

Thought he was reasonable when he played this year. Goldstein got the ass earlier in the year. Be interesting to see who North would prefer if both were fit. But Mcintosh is never fit, so he can stuff off.

Herald-Sun saying Cloke and his management had a meeting with the Pies this morning. So a final decision shouldn't be too far away now.

St Kilda has put a final offer to Goddard. The offer may even be less than what the Saints put on the table earlier in the year.

Pie Luke Rounds has a couple of opposition clubs interested after playing just 6 games since making his debut late last year (he was dropped after round 1 this year).

Not a chance. The big fella will be the highest paid Coburg player in history next year, including McMahon. Might play some footy for us too if Maric gets injured. Port have a very good young ruckman in Redden who I reckon they're better off playing all of next year. Lobbe as backup and Renouf can play SANFL reserves.

Gus to Port ;D nope

Have it on good authority (pretty close to the horses mouth) that Brent Moloney wants to go to either Ess or Rich and is currently overseas.  Has given his manager the authority to sign with whichever club gives the best deal.  Out of all the players mentioned Brent is probably the player we need most to bolster the midfield.

Questioning any ruckmans courage at AFL level (bar Josh Fraser) is crazy. Gus is a warrior and has proved that on many occasions. Might not be good enough to be our #1 ruckman but the bloke has worked his arse off for this club. I still remember the heroics of 2010 like it was yesterday.

Title: Re: Trade week targets & rumours [merged]
Post by: one-eyed on September 28, 2012, 02:34:16 AM
Essendon is likely to use the carrot of a senior leadership position for Brendon Goddard as it grows increasingly confident it has secured him from St Kilda. Essendon begins to believe its four-year deal of as much as $800,000 a season will not be matched by St Kilda.

Despite reports, Essendon has not made an official offer to Melbourne's Brent Moloney, who is assessing options as a free agent. But there is a clear interest in adding to the club's midfield, with the Dons one of "five or six" clubs considering Moloney.

Angus Monfries is yet to decide on his future after being offered a four-year $1.6 million deal at Port Adelaide. At this stage, he is likely to get only a two-year guaranteed term at Essendon, but it remains to be seen if other Victorian teams will enter the market for the 25-year-old.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/department-of-trades/brendon-goddard-could-be-offered-a-senior-role-at-essendon/story-fn69a32t-1226482896850

Restricted free agent Angus Monfries appears certain to leave the Bombers after 150 games, probably to Port Adelaide, which has offered him a four-year contract. Essendon's best offer has been a two-year extension. Melbourne has also shown keen interest in him.

As of yesterday, Brendon Goddard's best offer to move is a four-year $3.4 million deal from Fremantle, which is far and above St Kilda's three-year contract worth about $650,000 a season. It is understood Essendon will also offer Goddard a four-year deal, and is prepared to be flexible about his remuneration should he leave the Saints but remain in Melbourne. In initial discussions about salary, the Bombers offered substantially more than St Kilda.

Essendon re-signed defender David Myers yesterday for two years after both parties settled a dispute over a new contract.

The Bombers have also offered a two-year extension to Leroy Jetta, and are confident the speedy midfielder will stay.

The club has offered one-year deals to the out-of-contract trio of David Hille, Scott Gumbleton and Alwyn Davey. Essendon is understood to be sympathetic to any deals involving ruckman Hille and key-forward Gumbleton.

The club is unlikely to have Brent Prismall, Ricky Dyson, Sam Lonergan and Henry Slattery on its primary list next season.

Gold Coast could lose a number of their developing players. Josh Toy, Hayden Jolly and Piers Flanagan - all part of the Suns' start-up as 17-year-olds, are expected to leave. Midfielder half-back Toy, who has played 13 games, including five this year, has attracted keen interest from Hawthorn and Western Bulldogs.

BTW does anyone know if you can trade for a play to place on the rookie list? I know you can trade a rookie player out and they can be put on a senior list but can you trade in an ex-senior listed player to put on your rookie list?

No I don't see Tyson as a top up and would give up pick 9 ONLY of him

But Tyson is contracted and I can't see GWS accepting pick 9 only. Actually I can't see them trading. Tyson at all to be honest

But I certainly wouldn't give up pick 9 for Caddy

I have always been a believer in not trading away 1st round picks

Post for Sylvia. Dees looking for a KPP.

Sylvia will add hardness to any midfield and can kick goals off the flank but what of Chris Knights?

Certainly add depth.

St Kilda player Jamie Cripps has told the club he wants to return to Perth in a trade to West Coast.

North Melbourne, Essendon, the Bulldogs, Geelong and St Kilda have all expressed varying degrees of interest in Koby Stevens, who will come to Melbourne next week to speak with clubs.

Eagles key forward and ruck Quinten Lynch is still considering approaches from clubs, including Melbourne and Carlton, with Collingwood also believed to have some interest.

Sharrod Wellingham has been offered a new deal by the Magpies, but he is also considering a three-year offer to move to Melbourne.

Dees have been like a seagull to scraps. They need a KPP considering Rivers is going and Watts has not come on as one who has allegiances for the Dees and CLark whilst has been great value in his time playing can get long term injuries.
I see desperation in them given that they are looking at anybody.
Would rather a Post Sylvia trade than a Post Karnezis one.

Given that Collingwood have entered the Quentin Lynch discussions also maybe Chris Dawes might be on his way to the Dees also.

I know this for an undisputed fact.  The last presidents daughter was frequently with Dom at games involving RFC.  I saw that with my own eyes.  So if he has those contacts with the club, it would be highly likely that his father had close contacts with the club. :thumbsup

"UPDATE 28/9/12: PORT ADELAIDE star David Rodan appears set for a return to Richmond, where he began his AFL career, during next week’s trade period.
Rodan, who was the star of last night’s player revue on The Footy Show, played just the 10 matches for the Power this season.
The Tigers are looking to bolster their attacking midfielders.
The Tigers are also interested in Koby Stevens, who quit West Coast yesterday to head home to Victoria.
Stevens said he doesn’t know where he will end up, but the Tigers join Geelong, Collingwood and Hawthorn in the race for him.


UPDATE: 25/9/12: CHRIS Knights has walked out on Adelaide and is now certain to end up at Richmond, who has been the big mover in early trade talks with Port’s Troy Chaplin all but signed at Tigerland along with team-mate Matt Thomas."

Brendon Goddard will tomorrow sign a four-year contract to play with Essendon, forcing St Kilda to match the offer or lose its star. Under restricted free agency rules, the Saints will have three days to offer Goddard the same salary and length of contract. That seems unlikely. Goddard, a restricted free agent, has yet to recommit to the Saints, who have offered him a three-year deal worth about $1.9 million. Goddard is expected to reveal to St Kilda he has received a four-year offer from Essendon on superior financial terms than the Saints had offered and one that he was prepared to accept if St Kilda cannot match the terms.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/goddard-move-to-windy-hill-looks-a-don-deal-20120930-26tdm.html#ixzz27ybnpE8L

Collingwood now appear likely to beat Carlton in the race for West Coast forward Quentin Lynch, a free agent who has told the Eagles he wants to leave the club.

Sharrod Wellingham is considered likely to return to West Australia, with West Coast and Fremantle believed to be keen despite a price tag of $450,000 a season. The Eagles seem to be in the box seat to secure Wellingham, but Fremantle coach Ross Lyon wants to immediately improve his midfield. He will meet with the Eagles and Dockers this week about a move back to Western Australia. Melbourne and Port Adelaide are pursuing the premiership wingman.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/magpies-push-to-front-of-q-as-it-appears-more-likely-sharrod-wellingham-will-head-west/story-e6frf9jf-1226484965788

Melbourne midfielder Brent Moloney is a restricted free agent, with industry sources indicating the Brisbane Lions have now shown greater interest than Port Adelaide.

Port Adelaide is also set to officially offer Essendon's Angus Monfries a four-year contract with the promise of extended time in the midfield. It's understood the Bombers are keen to retain him but only on a two-year deal.

The Power has also expressed interest in Jordan Russell, the South Australian native who has quit the Blues.

Greater Western Sydney has shown interest in Jacob Surjan, the unrestricted former Port Adelaide vice-captain.

Geelong has met with former Melbourne defender Jared Rivers as it seeks a replacement for retired champion Matthew Scarlett. Brisbane has also expressed some interest.

Melbourne has expressed interest in Port Adelaide midfielder David Rodan, who is likely to be cut by the Power. Rodan is not a free agent.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/goddard-move-to-windy-hill-looks-a-don-deal-20120930-26tdm.html#ixzz27yahjdXR

A deficiency of key defenders will almost certainly lead to Hawthorn sounding out Brian Lake, unrestricted Melbourne free agent Jared Rivers and Port Adelaide's restricted free agent Troy Chaplin, who may not be available as he has been offered a three-year deal to join the Tigers.

Wellingham to me is another Blumfield/Caracella/Heffernan type. Goes ok as the 7th or 8th cog in the Collingwood midfield, but if he was made the main man, he'd be poohouse.

Where your club stands on trades and free agency

    From: Herald Sun
    October 01, 2012 10:41AM



RICHMOND
Continues to follow the Sydney recycle route with deals for Port's Chaplin and Adelaide's Chris Knights all but done. Power's Matt Thomas also in mix. Luke McGuane will be signed up but is a free agent. Dogs may help Tigers deal for Tyson.

ADELAIDE
Chris Knights is gone and will be a Tiger before the week is out. Kurt Tippett is on the Gold Coast this weekend deciding his future, despite the Crows deal being better than those of the Queensland clubs. Luke Thompson will sign soon.

BRISBANE
Desperate to lure Tippett to Brisbane to fi ll the hole left by Mitch Clark. Decision due midweek. Patrick Karnezis is contracted but wants to get back to Victoria. Keen on 17-year-old GWS-aligned midfielder Jack Martin.

CARLTON
Wants Quinten Lynch. Will get meagre compensation picks for Jordan Russell, who should fi nd a home, and Bret Thornton, who might not. Robert Warnock not going anywhere, Blues say.

COLLINGWOOD
Likely to lose Sharrod Wellingham, so Jon Giles is in the mix, as is free agent Jared Rivers. Cameron Wood is in trouble.

ESSENDON
Will get Brendon Goddard in free agency triumph. Linked to Brent Moloney. Scott Gumbleton is one of a raft of players offered only one-year deals as they clear salary cap space. Won't get Josh Caddy. Could lose Angus Monfries to Port.

FREMANTLE
Could get rid of either Jon Griffin or Zac Clarke. Interested in Gumbleton. Could swoop late for Wellingham.

GEELONG
In box seat for Caddy, has spoken to Rivers and keen on North Melbourne ruckman Hamish McIntosh. Shannon
Byrnes will leave for Melbourne.

GOLD COAST
Would love Kurt Tippett but unlikely to part with pick No.2 for him. Caddy is on the way out. Young ruckman Tom Hickey wanted by St Kilda. Mav Weller linked to Hawthorn.

GWS
Desperate for a key defender but the cap room is kept for the kids. Jon Giles is unsigned and wants $300,000.

HAWTHORN
Always keeps its players in this period. Tom Murphy unsigned but wants to stay. Clinton Young is a free agent who will attract interest. Would the Hawks make a play for Rivers? Salary cap tight.

KANGAROOS
Going all-out for Caddy, but Cats have a better pick to trade. McIntosh might fi nd his way to Geelong. Collingwood  and Melbourne interested in Cam Pedersen. Majak Daw will be elevated to senior list. Set to keep Levi Greenwood.

MELBOURNE
Has cash but long odds to land big fish. Keen on leg speed and strong on Cat Shannon Byrnes. Pedersen could be a bargain. Moloney and Rivers set Aaron Davey is contracted. Martin and Jordan Gysberts are signed but could go. Lucas Cook is looking for a new home.

PORT ADELAIDE
Hunting Essendon's Monfries and may offer four-year $1.6 million deal. Going lose Troy Chaplin.
First round draft pick Ben Jacobs wants to return to Victoria. Matt Thomas looking for Melbourne options. David
Rodan, Steve Salopek, Danyle Pearce all had names thrown around.

ST KILDA
Brendon Goddard bound for Essendon. Jamie Cripps has ticket to West Coast. On the lookout for tall defenders
including West Coast's Mitch Brown and Melbourne's Rivers. Also sniffing around Gold Coast ruck Tom Hickey.

SYDNEY
No interest in Brent Moloney. Already has plenty of young kids so will only top up. There won't be massive changes given it has had 33 list changes in the past three years.

WEST COAST
Keen to get Pie Wellingham, who is in Perth this week. Lynch is out and possibly headed to Carlton. Hard-nut onballer Koby Stevens also wants a new home.

WESTERN BULLDOGS
Would love to get Caddy but well down the list. Another Sun, Josh Toy, a chance. Focusing on draft.

St Kilda Football Club can confirm that Brendon Goddard has accepted an offer from Essendon Football Club as a restricted free agent and will be departing the Saints.

Despite a significant three year offer made by the Saints, which appropriately respected the Club’s player payment model, Goddard has elected to leave the Club.

Goddard is in a plane at the moment heading to the States so he won't know he's officially a Bomber until he lands.

Kurt Tippett could shock the Crows by seeking a blockbuster trade to Collingwood.

Adelaide understands this third option [other than Brisbane or Gold Coast] is a big Melbourne-based club - Collingwood.

Gold Coast believes it is AFL premier Sydney with a $1 million-a-season offer to Tippett.

By today, Tippett's signature will be a hot auction item between as many as six clubs.

The Magpies are expected to find $1.15 million of salary cap relief - of which at least $800,000 would be needed for Tippett - by trading key forward Chris Dawes and midfielder Sharrod Wellingham and listing four veterans next season.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/department-of-trades/collingwood-and-sydney-could-make-mega-plays-for-adelaide-forward-kurt-tippett/story-fn69a32t-1226486145518

Sharrod Wellingham is likely to turn his back on lucrative offers from Melbourne and Port Adelaide to return home to Western Australia.

Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey wants to continue his career with a Melbourne-based club and is seeking to be traded.

Geelong is a clear favourite to secure the Suns' Josh Caddy, who has also requested to be traded to a Victorian club.

Contracted Western Bulldogs small forward Justin Sherman could be headed to a third club. The former Brisbane player is out of favour at Whitten Oval after just 10 games this year.

Contracted North Melbourne pair Levi Greenwood and Cam Pederson are seeking opportunities elsewhere.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/brendon-goddard-becomes-a-bomber-as-trading-season-kicks-off/story-e6frg6n6-1226486144725

West Coast's Quentin Lynch is understood to have agreed to a two-year deal, with either Melbourne or Collingwood his likely destination. Melbourne's offer is understood to be more lucrative than the Magpies'.

Several clubs have inquired about West Coast defender Mitch Brown who is contracted for one more year to the Eagles and remains a required player there. Brown battled for senior opportunities this year, prompting the interest from clubs such as St Kilda and Hawthorn.

Wouldn't think GC would go for it. Have plenty of rucks and need to downsize their list so its not the right trade. Probably decent value, but might need a 3rd party with a high first round pick to get it done.

St Kilda will make a bid for Gold Coast’s Josh Caddy and West Coast defender Mitch Brown in an effort to turn loss into gain.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/st-kildas-turn-to-go-shopping-20121002-26xgg.html

Shannon Byrnes is a step closer to joining Melbourne after touring the club's facilities yesterday.

North Melbourne's Cameron Pedersen, a 193cm key-position player, is also on the Dees' radar as they hunt experienced players.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/cats-midfielder-shannon-byrnes-close-to-joining-melbourne/story-e6frf9jf-1226486877425

The Magpies are not understood to be in the market for Kurt Tippett, who has told Adelaide he wants a trade. Sydney has made a play for the versatile ruck-forward as well as Gold Coast and the Brisbane Lions, with the Suns remaining the most likely home for the player who grew up on the Gold Coast.

Chris Dawes is under contract for the next two years with the Magpies but could seek a move — Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs have already expressed interest in him — if it was felt Lynch was brought in to squeeze him out.

MELBOURNE has confirmed its interest in Collingwood key forward Chris Dawes.

Apparently Gold Coast are offering Kurt Tippett a 5-year deal worth $3.5 million.

Might not be hypothetical and more of a Rumour(according to the tweet OER just posted). Still don't think its worth it. Dawes didn't offer much this year and Wellingham isn't worth pick 4.

Brisbane insists it is still in the hunt for Queenslander Kurt Tippett.

Brisbane National Talent Manager Rob Kerr  ruled out offering out-of-sorts forward Patrick Karnezis as trade bait. Karnezis won the club's rookie of the year gong in 2011 after a spectacular start to his AFL career but had a largely forgettable year in 2012 when he spent most of his time in the reserves. The 20-year-old is from a tight-knit Melbourne family and is understood to occasionaly suffer from homesickness. But he is contracted to Brisbane for another year and will not be put on the table as part of the package for Tippett as he is considered a required player for 2013.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/department-of-trades/brisbane-not-out-of-the-race-to-snare-adelaides-kurt-tippett/story-fn69a32t-1226487657687

Geelong has made Josh Caddy its No 1 target this month and may not be in a position to accommodate Melbourne free agent Jared Rivers until it settles with the Gold Coast midfielder.

St Kilda is also making noises about acquiring contracted West Coast key-position player Mitch Brown, but that will not be happening, according to Eagles chief executive Trevor Nisbett.

West Coast's Koby Stevens, who wants to return home to Melbourne for better opportunities, has attracted interest from several Victorian clubs, headed by the Western Bulldogs.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/afl/cats-eyes-fixed-on-deal-for-joel-caddy/story-fnca0u4y-1226487669784

Melbourne remains well placed to secure versatile North Melbourne player Cameron Pedersen The former rookie, who turned 24 this year, fell down the pecking order this season despite consistent VFL form. While he is under contract for next season, the Roos would move him for the right draft pick.

Player manager Carlos Da Coast said for Sharrod Wellingham  - "There is no Melbourne - it's always been Collingwood, West Coast and Freo".

From TWR: "Henry Slattery says there's a lot of Bomber players at the club that don't know what's happening and are in a bit of limbo at the moment"


They interviewed Hird yesterday on TWR and they were asking about players. Hille 'he has a contract in front of him', Davey 'he is a required player', Slattery ..... there was a moments silence then Hird said they'll have to have a chat with Henry  :lol

That's because Essendon are making it all up as they go :yep.

Slattery also said he would love to play with Port Adelaide as he followed them as a kid.




Sounds like brisbane after Fev got there.

Ralph Clarke set to leave St.Kilda - GWS and Carlton interested.

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/list-of-trade-free-agency-rumours-2012-part-iii.975713/page-104#post-25939305

Brent Moloney's manager Bruce Kaidler says it is highly unlikely the ex-Demon will end up at Essendon, given Brendon Goddard's decision to join the club on Monday. 

Tippett holding up other deals including Moloney. Kaidler said his two Port Adelaide free agents, Steven Salopek and Jacob Surjan in a similar boat to Moloney.

Carlton is showing surprising interest in Melbourne's 2008 No 1 national draft selection Jack Watts.

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/magpie-sharrod-wellingham-heads-home-to-west-coast-eagles/story-e6frg6n6-1226488476159

Carlton has also expressed interest in out-of-contract Essendon forward Scott Gumbleton.

Melbourne is prepared to trade athletic ruckman Stefan Martin.

St Kilda is also chasing a ruckman, but has Gold Coast's Tom Hickey in its sights. Jon Giles, from Greater Western Sydney, is still unsigned.

Would love to trade Nahas and Gus.

As for Watts, I think a lot of people are more keen on him because he was a pick 1 then on what he has shown on field. Player development is a poor excuse. Players can play regardless of 'development' after getting drafted. I'm not saying it's completely irrelevant, but it doesn't turn a turd into a gold nugget. If he was capable he would be at minimum playing decent footy as is.

Jesse White has requested a trade from Sydney, where the 24-year-old forward played just three games in the Swans' premiership season. White, originally recruited from Queensland after spending most of his junior years playing basketball, put together an impressive 20-game season in 2010 but has fallen down the pecking order since. He is contracted for another year but, given Sam Reid's development, the recruitment of Tommy Walsh and Sydney's potential to snare Kurt Tippett, the Swans are happy to facilitate a trade.

I did mention his name ages ago as a ruck forward prospect for us and once again got nothing positive from many expert posters on OER.
I personally think he's a good depth player for us. He's athletic, he's tall, can play forward and pinch hit in ruck. And he's from a great club with very good culture.
If anything were to happen to vickery he'd be the perfect back up.
Who knows he might even be a really good full forward and let jack to roam around with vickery at chf.

Just because someone comes from a club who is applauded for their culture does not mean he will be valuable to us. There may also be other reasons other than those noted as to why a player may fall out of favour.

Mr Tigra if my memory serves me correctly you were town crier for the Essendon winning culture and system. Given they are getting Goddard and according to you they have a great culture would you pick up any of their seagull scraps available.

In so many words no to Jesse White.

Princess Jacqui gets a no too. Not enough desperations and squibs too much.

Watts is damaged goods. Should have developed by now. Been in the system look enough. Strongly against chasing Watts. As for White he came with very high raps but for some reason has not developed at Sydney. Reid has leap frogged him in pecking order by a mile

Could we be one of the 5 clubs.

GOLD Coast youngster Maverick Weller could be on the move, with up to five clubs showing interest in him.

Weller, who was one of 12 players signed to Gold Coast as a 17-year-old access selection in 2009, has struggled for a regular game at the Suns.

Weller's future is one of the deals that could take shape after bigger name players such as Kurt Tippett have found new homes.

Will cost us to much to acquire and may struggle in a competitive landscape where he has to prove himself that he is competitive and to his teammates and to his get your hands dirty culture not I am Jack and my parents are loaded give me what I want culture.
One moment of apoplexy and I'm reminded of it every day thanks to Dooks and Owl despite my open apology to all. Fair enough too I suppose but just sick of not playing finals and at the time the bummers were going ok and looked like they were going to make it.

Anyway I think Jesse White will be good for us.
Don't take it to heart mate, I am a lazy bastard and just could'nt be bothered changing it lol  I am sure I will put my acketts on the line one day and trip arse over tit and you can give it back to me ;o)
there u go all fixed lol

GWS appears certain to beat Collingwood to the punch by retaining impressive first-year ruckman Jonathan Giles.

Fremantle were still debating whether to attempt to trade for out-of-contract Essendon key-forward Scott Gumbleton.

The Dockers have been requested by out-of-contract defender Dylan Roberton for a trade home to a Victorian club.

Trade winds - Saturday/ State of Play
afl.com.au

Brisbane will turn their attention to signing free agent Demon Brent Moloney or Hawthorn winger Clinton Young if they are unsuccessful in luring Tippett (who as reported has chosen Sydney).

Gold Coast football manager Marcus Ashcroft is confident of striking a deal once Josh Caddy settled on a destination. "Josh and his management are talking to several Melbourne-based clubs," Ashcroft said.

Port Adelaide has tabled an offer to Sharrod Wellingham although he wants to go to West Coast. Collingwood want healthy compensation in return.

Geelong is reported to be no closer to dealing for North Melbourne ruckman Hamish McIntosh, who has requested a move to the Cats.

Jordan Russell will get to Port Adelaide some time in the next few days. Bomber Henry Slattery is also reportedly heading to Port.

Gold Coast Ruckman Tom Hickey is eyeing a trade to a Victorian club. He's been linked to St Kilda.

Sun Maverick Weller is reportedly the subject of attention from five Victorian-based clubs.

Speculation persists Hawthorn have another target in their sights but his identity remains a mystery so far.

St Kilda's Farren Ray has also been mentioned in dispatches regarding Melbourne.

Kangaroo Ben Warren has also been linked to Melbourne.

They already have a wonderfully strong and disciplined defense throw in Tippett with Reid, Jetta and their midfielders and Gary Rowan coming back from injury and they will be hard to beat next year too. Back to back is not out of the question. They could and should improve.

Gary Rohan for pick 9. Pick 9 to Crows for Tippett?
Im just making that up by the way..
I can't see Tippett getting to the Swans unless they offload 2 premiership players to Adelaide or other clubs for picks.  He's worth 2 first rounders. 
Sydney is the worst club he could have picked as far as the Crows are concerned.

Collingwood and Melbourne have discussed a blockbuster trade that would send Sharrod Wellingham and Chris Dawes to the Demons in return for pick No. 4 in the national draft.

If the Magpies were to secure pick No. 4, they would seek to recruit Gold Coast's Josh Caddy or look to grab West Australian 17-year-old centre half-forward Jesse Hogan in the AFL mini-draft from Greater Western Sydney.

Why wouldn't they ask GWS to pre-list Tom Lee and trade 13 for Lee and pick 24??

Have they recruited Miller and Wallace into the list management team down at the Demons?

It is the bonus that comes with having a strong side. If Wellingham went to the Demons, he'd go from the 8-9th midfielder to the main man at Melbourne. He'd have Crowley, Scott Selwood etc. tagging him. He'd be absolutely useless.

Dawes was sissyul playing in a good side. He couldn't capitalise on a midfield of Beams, Swan and Pendlebury and kick 30+ goals and he can't even mark anyway.

MELBOURNE will continue its midfield shake-up with a bid to lure St Kilda ball carrier Farren Ray. It is believed the Demons would be prepared to part with a second round (No. 26) or third round (No. 45) pick, or ruckman Stefan Martin or midfielder Cale Morton, as part of a swap for Ray.

Collingwood's Chris Dawes also is being sought keenly by the Demons, although Western Bulldogs and Adelaide have shown interest in the big forward. Melbourne has indicated it would be prepared to part with pick No.4 in next month's draft in exchange for Dawes and his Collingwood teammate, midfielder Sharrod Wellingham. The Dees' pick No. 13 could come into play if Wellingham, as expected, secures a deal to West Coast, his nominated club.

Port Adelaide is trying to secure Essendon's Angus Monfries via a trade rather than through free agency. Port is understood to have offered Monfries a four-year deal worth about $1.6 million.

Two of the first players to be sacrificed by Sydney in order to fit Kurt Tippett into its salary cap appear certain to be back-up ruckman Mark Seaby and out-of-favour forward Jesse White.

Damien Barrett says no players want to go to Melbourne  :lol

--------------------------------------

Geelong's compensation pick for losing Gary Ablett has placed the Cats at the front of the queue to sign Gold Coast midfielder Josh Caddy.

http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=149363&utm_medium=RSS


North Melbourne tall forward Lachie Hansen's dissatisfaction with the Roos' contact offer has brought his name to the fore during the Trade Period.

Damian Barrett said on Gillett AFL Trade Radio that there has been talk surrounding Hansen since the end of the season. "He's out of contract," Barrett said. "There is an offer in front of him from North Melbourne, but it's not substantial and it's one that he's wavering on. "As these meetings go on between clubs today, his name will be bounced around. "I won't say he's being shopped around, but clubs are certainly aware that if they want Lachie Hansen he's there to get."

Anyone else think GWS have been given too much power with drafting this and last season with the pre listing of players and also the mini drafts?  :banghead

Gold Coast must feel like they've been screwed over. GWS have been given WAY more concessions than the Suns received. GWS can still grab some uncontracted players too.

A fair few first round picks being traded away this year. Clubs preferring to target needs with top ups rather than rating this draft?

I haven't been following the draft but I thought this year was meant to be a strong group.

The hawks do have a list to win a premiership they should of really won it this year missed opportunity.

"Bulldogs will reportedly also give Hawks pick 27. So Hawks get Lake & 27, Dogs 21. Deal getting sweeter for Hawks"

If that's true the Hawks practically got Lake for nothing.


Some caller on SEN is claiming Sam Reid will end up with his brother at Collingwood as part of the deal to get Tippett to Sydney. Melbourne gives first round pick(s) [pick 4?]  to the Pies (for Dawes/Wellingham) which is/are passed onto Adelaide. Must be a deluded Pies fan as I can't see the Swans effectively swapping Reid for Tippett.

Pick 21 and 41 from Hawthorn to Footscray for Lake and pick 27.


Considering where the Dog's list is, it's not a horrible deal. Lake is 31, they get rid of him and get another first round pick and a later 2nd round pick. Leaves them with:

5, 6, 21, 41, 46, 47.

The Lake trade is winner for the dogs, 3 first round draft picks.

Pick 21 is Hawthorn's 1st round pick.

Listening to Lake's manager on SEN driving home, it was pretty clear Lake was going to walk under FA next year. Better to lock in decent picks rather than waiting on the AFL to decide what he is worth  ;D

Thats amazing, the Pies should be rubbing their hands together, geezus they always end up with bloody good deals, if this comes off it would be just about the best deal of the free aganency period, other than Tippett.

How do you know, it hasnt been done?

Post by: one-eyed on October 09, 2012, 03:50:26 AM
Carlton has expressed interest in Collingwood's Chris Dawes, Essendon's Scott Gumbleton and Port Adelaide defender Matt Thomas.

Up to five clubs are believed to have expressed interest in Gumbleton.

Jordan Gysberts is likely to make his way to Geelong later in the trade period, possibly for a second-round pick.

Both the Bombers and Western Bulldogs have some interest in out-of-contract West Coast midfielder Koby Stevens but are looking to spend no more than a third-round choice.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/tough-talk-on-caddy-and-tippett-20121008-279d1.html#ixzz28j8XAY5d

Gold Coast are eyeing off Hawthorn premiership player Stephen Gilham. The Suns will trade for players such as Josh Caddy and Josh Toy, and Gilham's name has emerged as a potential target.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/suns-set-their-sights-on-hawks-defender-stephen-gilham/story-e6frf9io-1226490985250

SYDNEY needs a trade partner to snare defecting Crows forward Kurt Tippett as Adelaide stands firm the Queenslander will cost much more than a second-round draft pick. The Swans already know Adelaide's needs - a key defender or a key forward. This puts Sydney premiership duo Sam Reid and Norwood draftee Heath Grundy on Adelaide's wishlist. Sydney chief executive Andrew Ireland has not ruled out the Swans parting with a premiership player if that is what is required to secure a deal this trade period.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/department-of-trades/sydney-swans-need-more-options-to-snare-departing-adelaide-forward-tippett/story-fn69a32t-1226490957478
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/afl/sydney-swans-may-axe-a-grand-final-hero/story-fnca0u4y-1226490952934

GEELONG and North Melbourne are still haggling over the pick to be swapped for Roos ruckman Hamish McIntosh. North wants Geelong's second-round pick (36), but the Cats are hoping their third-round selection will be enough.

BOTH clubs, as well as St Kilda, lead the race for Victoria-bound Gold Coast midfielder Josh Caddy, with Geelong's compensation pick for Gary Ablett of interest to the Suns. This compensation would appeal to the Suns because they can hold off on using it until 2014. The Suns alarmed all three clubs yesterday by insisting they would require two first-round draft picks for the out-of-contract midfielder. All three clubs have said they would not trade two picks for him.

The Saints are also interested in Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey, but have been told their second-round draft pick offer is insufficient and the Suns want a first-round pick for him.

MELBOURNE, which secured father-son pick Jack Viney and still managed to keep the prized pick No.3, said Collingwood forward Chris Dawes was still a possibility to join the Demons.

MAGPIE Sharrod Wellingham also has been linked to Melbourne, but wants only to move back to Perth and join West Coast.

GWS could yet own the first three picks in November's draft if a deal with Melbourne for pre-listed 17-year-old Jesse Hogan is agreed.

PORT Adelaide has shown some interest in Carlton's Jordan Russell and Melbourne's Jared Rivers, who is also on Geelong's radar.

ST KILDA is keen on securing Eagles defender Mitch Brown in a deal that could involve homesick midfielder Jamie Cripps.

GIANTS ruckman Jonathan Giles is in strong demand from clubs including Collingwood and Adelaide.

Luke Parker + pick 22 ----> Richmond
Tippett ----> Sydney
pick 9 ----> Adelaide

I don't see us doing that.

A Tigers man added GWS into the trade so we could get Tyson  ;D

Luke Parker + pick 22 + Nahas? ----> GWS

Tyson -----> Richmond

That is likely to see picks 3 and 13 heading to GWS, with the Dees getting WA key forward Jesse Hogan in return via the GWS mini-draft, plus further compensation. Details to follow as soon as we can confirm.

Most of the big-name trades will be held up now for two weeks because the clubs that lost players via free agency won't receive their compo picks until the end of the free agency period. Once those picks are known and on the table then clubs will deal. So expect a slow next two weeks and then a mad rush in the final week of trades.

Hawthorn defender Tom Murphy is facing the distinct possibility of being squeezed out by the club's trade for Brian Lake. The free agent, 26, will have to wait until the end of the trade period before being told whether he is wanted by the Hawks.

Former Port Adelaide defender Stephen Gilham has fielded inquiries from Gold Coast.

Unrestricted free agent Clinton Young has attracted interest from Collingwood and the Brisbane Lions.

A deal landing Josh Caddy at Geelong is close after Gold Coast backed down on its original demand for two first-round picks for the talented midfielder. Both clubs were last night finalising a shuffling of later draft picks. The central piece of the deal is the Cats' first-round compensation selection.

Once the Caddy deal is done, the Cats will turn their attention to North Melbourne ruckman Hamish McIntosh, with a deal involving a second or third-round pick going from Geelong to North likely.

North Melbourne key forward Lachie Hansen has attracted interest as he remains locked in a contract standoff with the Roos.  Several clubs have inquired about Hansen, with Fremantle, Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney believed to be among them.

Essendon confirmed yesterday they had received no offers for Scott Gumbleton. Defenders Cale Hooker and Tayte Pears have received little interest either.

St Kilda is moving closer to securing Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey, with the Suns accepting a deal will eventually be done.

None of us know what $$ we are talking from what I've read they are offering 150k and others 300k

Giles is a very good ruckman and would put great pressure on Griffiths and Vickery to step up

Agree, neither Blake or Gus should be on our list in any capacity.

Maric with Vickery and Giles would be a huge step in the right direction.

I am fully on Daniel's side with this one, I think Giles would be worth every cent of $3-400k.  I also think many sides have been getting it wrong since the sub rule came in by only playing 1 specialist ruck and that we will see a (common sense) move back over the next few seasons as more sides follow the Eagles/Swans lead in having 2 specialist ruckmen who can compete around the ground, rather than 1 ruckman and a forward who can pinch-hit.  Giving the opposition the upper hand while your only ruckman rests for even 5 minutes per quarter can be crucial in today's footy and I think it's no secret that the Swans superiority in the midfield and onball area was a critical factor in their success this year.

Giles looked good playing forward for GWS.

The thing with Vickery is, if he can find that 2011 form, you wouldn't even play him in the ruck if we had Giles and Maric. Leave him up front with JR8 with the resting Maric /Giles as the 3rd tall. Would be a nightmare for opposition defenders to try and match up on Riewoldt, Vickery and Maric/Giles at ALL times during a game.

No need to be considered or played as a back up ruckman.  Cox and Nic Nat don't wear that hat and both are very damaging and important to team structure in their own way.  Giles can go forward-ish when not on the ball, Maric can drop back-ish.  Extra tall option at both ends stiffens our zones up significantly I would think.

So Caddy is officially now a Cat.

jackstar and his know it all crap lmao

Can tell you caddy is going to the kangas
Media mention 3 clubs
I have mentioned 1.
Dont  know why i post here, waste of time dealing with fools :banghead

 :lol

Caddy to Geelong, north or stkilda.

Why not us? We not good enough for him?
Or are we not interested?
What's the story here

Not sure, but from what I've heard, it's between Geelong and North Melbourne for Caddy.  I was told that Norf upped their offer yesterday, so I'm guessing that's what Jack's running with.

Bingo  ;)

Yesterdays news but GWS got pick 3 off Demons.

Quote

The deal, completed in Tuesday, sees GWS receiving picks No.3 and No.13 in the national draft from Melbourne in exchange for selection No.2 in the mini-draft, selection 20 in the national draft and 18-year-old Northern Territory player Dominic Barry.

Latest whisper from BF is that the Lions and Demons are discussing a swap of pick 4 for Daniel Rich.


The Demons are the new Richmond!

They are worse than us.

Just shows development at the club is stuffed and they can't afford to put in the investment to the club to get it right. Ready made spuds who have fallen out of favour at their current clubs.

Will more than gleefully watch us flog them over the next 10 years regardless of how we perform. They are a sorry footy club.

If pick 21 and 47 is spot on for Dawes they have systematically kept the Pies competitive and in the 8 for the next 3-5 years while their stars start to age.

It's all about keeping the Queens Birthday fixture I guess. ::)

Melbourne has zeroed in on Essendon forward Scott Gumbleton, but could face a fight from Fremantle for the luckless goalkicker. Demons coach Mark Neeld met Gumbleton in Perth on Wednesday. It might have to hold off Fremantle, which confirmed on Wednesday it had completed a medical check on Gumbleton and is interested in luring the out-of-contract Bomber back to his home state of Western Australia. But the 24-year-old could yet stay at Essendon.

Weekend talks are expected to decide the future of Collingwood forward Chris Dawes. Rumours were rife on Wednesday that Dawes had agreed to a Western Bulldogs deal, but his management hosed that down on Wednesday night.

Adelaide has offered Jonathan Giles a more lucrative deal over three years to return home to South Australia.

The Demons are expected to land contracted North Melbourne tall Cameron Pedersen sooner rather than later, possibly for a second-round pick.

Chris Dawes is choosing between three clubs - Melbourne, Western Bulldogs and Carlton - with all three having made presentations and offers in recent days. Dawes is understood to prefer Carlton, given it is the side with a list most in contention and likely to play finals, and he obviously knows coach Mick Malthouse. But getting to Carlton is the most difficult of the three clubs, given the Blues have admitted they would need to move players out in order to bring Dawes in, and so any move there would have to wait until other deals were done. Melbourne, with pick 20, and the Western Bulldogs (No. 21) both have draft selections that should be able to get a deal done and both clubs have room in their salary caps to bring him in. The Bulldogs are understood to be the most likely club at this stage.

Seem's as if they are trying to picking up fringe players that would only provide a quick fix to filling holes in a team. Demon's just need to bite the bullet and go back to the draft. Surely they can't fail as badly as they have done in the past.

Jack Darling in terms of a KPP ...... ouch!

Shaun Atley, Issac Smith and even our own Jake Batchelor have been fairly decent pick ups so far. Still too early to judge for most of that 2010 draft.

In fairness to the Dees though they have seem to have found AFL players in Jeremy Howe (pick 33) and Tom McDonald (pick 53). They just stuffed up their first round choice completely.

Thought I'd get in before the standard Melbourne is offering pick 4 article. ;D

Thursday 11 October
OER Forum
Tuckerbag

Dees looking to Cruize in 2013

Disgruntled Nought player Cruize Garlett is on the lookout for a new home after Nought offered him only a small bag of Allens Party Mix lollies. Nought Chairman, CEO and resident jack of all trades master of none James Brayshaw still insisted Cruize Garlett was a required player but they had used up their funds on the large bag of Allens Party mix and a box of Cheezels in their futile attempt to get Josh Caddy to the Club. "It's a shame its come to this" said Brayshaw further insisting that " if we had double the membership we did he could have had the bag of lollies the cheezels and a toothbrush but alas". Cruize Garlett insisted that he was more than "jelly baby" and the only real snake was James Brayshaw and the Nought Melbourne.

In further developments Melbourne has come forward as a suitor to continue the career of Cruize Garlett. Coach Mark Neeld in a statement said that " We think Cruize can temporarily fill a hole in the list but more importantly can at least get Melbourne fans through the tournstiles at least until the end of our first home game next year. Pick 4 could just about do it we think."

"Cruize absolutely fits into our plans. A player with limited senior time who has fallen out of favour at his club but wants to resurrect his career anywhere just to get a couple of hundred grand a year and keep him from the ever burgeoning number of call centres popping up in the major cities all over the country. Some may think pick 4, surely they are paying overs but we think he is right up there. After all Jay Viney is going at 26 and he hasn't played a game right"

Neeld further added " We have no capabilities in developing any young talent we can't afford to invest in that we aren't a Collingwood, Hawthorn or Richmond for that matter. Did I say Richmond oh how could I forget I played there in the mid 90's and how many finals series have they participated in?"

Neeld reiterated" Someone elses junk is our treasure. With potentially Mitch Clark teaming up with Cameron Pederson Chris Dawes and now nippy small forward in Cruize Garlett we feel we have the potential to dismantle defences and cause headaches."

When quizzed about Sharrod Wellingham refusing to come to Melbourne Neeld was adamant that the club is on the up and that it is an attractive club to go to." Once the blood stains from the knives thrown by Cameron Schwab have been washed away with ammonia and the tape from the floor where Dean Bailey's coaching career was assasinated we feel that we will at least be on a par or at worst just below some other clubs who we won't mention and the gap will continue to close"

"Cruize Garlett could one day captain this side or Casey someday so there are leadership qualities there that we feel can influence our list and make us a really respected VFL side at the very least. Its a dog eat dog world out there and we don't want to miss out on getting any bones"

Melbourne players will be returning from their overseas holidays from the Swiss Alps next week and will begin pre season training on Monday November 5 provided the temperature is less than 25 degrees celsius.

Melbourne's odds to make the 8 are now officially higher than Gold Coast's and sports betting agencies are not taking bets on Melbourne's premiership odds which were listed at 1000/1 post Sydney's Grand Final.

Mark Neeld is unperturbed and believes that his side can cause a few surprises next year and build on those 100+ point losses experienced this year claiming that if we can keep the margins consistently between 10-15 goals then we will have shown improvement and as a coach that's all you want to see in our players.

Melbourne are expected to launch their season 2013 at the end of the ski season at Mt Buller this weekend and weather permitting next weekend at Mt Hotham where it is expected at least 20 people will attend with a couple of boxes of barbecue shapes and some Patra orange juice in plastic cups and Spumante to watch the snow melt from their disappointing 2012.

CHRIS Dawes is expected to settle on his new football home by tonight, with the Brisbane Lions making a late pitch for the Collingwood forward. The 24-year-old, contracted for two more years at Collingwood, appears most likely to play for either the Demons or Bulldogs next year. Both clubs have similar first-round picks - Melbourne pick 20 and the Bulldogs No. 21 - to work into a potential trade. It had been understood that Dawes' preference was to join Carlton, but the Blues insist he is not on their radar, despite his abilities being well known to new Blues coach Mick Malthouse.

Geelong remained open to offers for talented forward Mitch Brown, who is contracted. Brown has drawn the interest of Fremantle, as well as a small handful of other clubs.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/lions-make-late-bid-for-popular-pie-20121011-27foi.html

Port Adelaide has joined Collingwood in the contest for Hawthorn's Clinton Young.

Ben Jacobs has formally requested a trade from Port Adelaide back to Victoria and has attracted some interest, though without a concrete offer, from St Kilda, North Melbourne and Essendon.

The Power ruled out recruiting Carlton defender Jordan Russell as a free agent yesterday.

North Melbourne ruckman Hamish McIntosh has passed his biggest test on the way to a possible trade to Geelong, which is poised to offer the 28-year-old a three-year contract.

Carlton is favoured to trade ruckman Robbie Warnock to Greater Western Sydney, should Giants ruckman Jonathan Giles accept a more lucrative offer from Adelaide.

GWS would be desperate to fill Giles's shoes should he decide to return home to South Australia on a three-year deal and for a larger financial benefit than the Giants' current two-year offer, which they maintain cannot be increased.

Andrew Lowther on the AFL live chat today:


Whisper is North's Matt Campbell is on his way out of the club ... may end up in the draft with not a lot of interest for him

Gysberts linked to Pies in Dawes trade.

Cameron Wood - on the outer at Pies, but no interest so far i hear

North Melbourne's Cameron Pedersen is on track to join Melbourne in most likely in exchange for a second-round draft pick, his manager says.

New Port coach Ken Hinkey is keen on Liam Jurrah.

Young to Tigers? First i've heard [ed. so that would be a no!]

Roos keen on Ben Jacobs, Angus Graham  :pray

Can you see Richmond being involved this afternoon? perhaps not today ... still plenty of time left in trade period

Draft not as deep as some say ... top 25 solid, falls away afterwards

Just on trade week. The AFL decided not to allocate the discretionary (priority) pick this year. Surely after holding the worst Finals record over the last 30 years we deserve something back from the AFL  >:(

"Under current AFL rules, enacted from the 2012 season onwards, a club can receive a priority draft pick at the discretion of the AFL Commission. The Commission has flagged that a formula which will assist with determining whether or not a team receives a priority draft pick, and at which round in the draft that pick will be taken, is yet to be established, but that it will take into account quantitative measures, including a club’s premiership points over a period of years (with greater weight to recent seasons), its percentage over a period of years as another indication of on-field competitiveness (with greater weight to recent seasons), any finals appearances in recent seasons, any premierships in recent seasons and club injury rates in each relevant season.

We are half way through the trade period.

In regard to comensation he AFL states...

Compensation
Clubs will be compensated by way of draft picks if they are deemed to have a net loss in the free agency period. The compensation falls into one of five categories - a first-round pick immediately following the club's first round pick, an end of first-round pick, a second-round pick immediately after the club's second round pick, an end of second-round pick or a third-round pick immediately after the club's third round selection.


My question is when is this comensation decided?

Finals, no excuses! Hoping for a good draw to get into finals is already conceding defeat and saying we are not good enough or we don't have the players. Trade period is far more important than the draw, good sides will win anywhere, the Pies, Hawks, Freo, etc..... Have proved that.

OK the dates below.

I suppose the date highlighted in red would be when the AFL decide on compensation?

This would then leave 3-4 days of trading when the draft order is known.

Can clubs trade their compensation picks?


Here are the key dates around the Player Rules for the exchange process and the 2012 NAB AFL Draft:
 
October 1 – Commencement of Gillette AFL Restricted Free Agency Offer and Unrestricted Free Agency period.
October 5, 2pm – Nomination of Father-Son Eligible Players and Academy Bidding Players.
October 8, 10am – Father-Son Eligible Players and Academy Players Bid Meeting.
October 8 – Commencement of Gillette AFL Trade Period.

Honeslty, Richmond should not trade for any players.

Be great if we either upgraded our draft picks in some deal.

Maybe trade out Graham, Post, White ...

There was a rumour earlier in the week regarding Daniel Rich going to Melbourne for an early pick.

Well if the Post/ Karnezis trade is a goer can we manufacture a situation to involve Daniel Rich in the trade and Post still ending up at Brissy.

Vossy can be enigmatic with the draft.

Rich is a left footer off half back hard at it and can play in the midfield an upgrade on Houli if you ask me. Left footer, Blair loves bringing across left footers.

Rich is an upgrade on a lot guys on our list. Underrated player.
Title: Re: Trade week targets & rumours [merged]
Post by: Hellenic Tiger on October 13, 2012, 12:52:32 PM
I think he is a great long penetrating kick and uses the ball well.

I think playing at the MCG will suit him and he can slot into our best 22 easily and relegate blokes like Houli as depth players.

Agree but realistically he wouldn't be cheap. Would be pick 9 minimum and probally someone as steak knives. Is he worth that?

Maybe not TFT the upside is he is only 22, but you're right maybe pick 9 is abit expensive.

After a good start with Knights and Chaplain - we have been very quiet!

Need more than 2 recruits to improve the list. Obviously our trade bait is not attracting any interest. A clear sign that they are duds and just need to be cut.

No depth = another frustrating season

This draft has more depth than the black sea, wise move to hold fire and let our reputed recruiting team do their best work on d day :shh

Compensation picks will determined at the completion of the FA period = end Of next week as per the dates in red on your other posts

That's why some clubs are holding back in trades, want to know the various compo pick numbers to assist with doing other deals.

Monday 22nd is the last date clubs can match an FA offer so there is still 4 days after that for trades.

St Kilda's bid for high leaping young Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey is facing some possible competition from North Melbourne and Essendon, both of which are in the market for back-up ruckmen.

Demons are  interested in boosting their midfield run by securing Farren Ray.

Actually i reckon we should go for Mark Blake. Won't have to trade for him. Get him in the psd. He's very good in the hitouts. He's not that bad around the ground. Has a few years left and would be handy back up for Maric. We should get rid of Graham and maybe Derrickx and pick up a young ruckman in the draft too as well as putting Browne on the rookie list

Need more than 2 recruits to improve the list. Obviously our trade bait is not attracting any interest. A clear sign that they are duds and just need to be cut.

No depth = another frustrating season

Did we not win 10.5 games and lose a handful of games by a handful of points?
We get a Roos like draw next year and finals become much more realistic.
In fact, I would go as far to say the draw is more important that the trade period

Finals, no excuses! Hoping for a good draw to get into finals is already conceding defeat and saying we are not good enough or we don't have the players. Trade period is far more important than the draw, good sides will win anywhere, the Pies, Hawks, Freo, etc..... Have proved that.

Okay ppl, back to the topic!


AFL trade rumours:

#1: Brisbane receive Jaydon Post. Richmond receive Patrick Karnezis.

#2 St Kilda receive Koby Stevens. West Coast receive Jamie Cripps.

#3 Melbourne receive Chris Dawes. Collingwood receive Stefan Martin and Jordan Gysberts.

#4 Carlton receive Daniel Gorringe. Gold Coast receive Robert Warnock.

#5 Fremantle receive Aaron Joseph. Carlton receive Greg Broughton.

#6 Fremantle receive Jamie Cripps. St Kilda receive Greg Broughton.

#7 Bulldogs receive Koby Stevens. West Coast receive Michael Talia.

Continuation on the Bulldogs West Coast trade. West Coast receive pick 41 as well.

#8 Essendon receive Koby Stevens. West Coast receive Tayte Pears.

#9 Fremantle receive Scott Gumbleton. Essendon receive Greg Broughton.

Surely someone taking the pee with Joseph for Broughton. Or is there another Aaron Joseph? Like one, that has the ability to play AFL at an acceptable non-whipping boy standard?

And Saints doing well to trade Jamie Cripps twice. Laughing their way to the bank they are.  ;D

At this stage, pick 20 and Ricky Petterd have been rumored to be sent to Collingwood in exchange for Chris Dawes.

Crazy Dees :rollin

Pick 20 alone isn't worth it.

When did petterd last play? Always thought packaging spuds up didn't make a deal more attractive.

GREATER Western Sydney has lobbed a curve ball into the AFL's stalled trade period, declaring that four of its prized first-round draft picks are up for grabs.

The Giants have five of the top 13 picks and were widely expected to welcome a second wave of star teenage talent in next month's draft.

But the Herald Sun can reveal the Giants are now prepared to part with picks 2, 3, 12 and 13 in a bid to add some top-line senior players to their fledgling side.

However, the coveted No.1 choice, which has been reserved for sublime Dandenong utility Lachie Whitfield, is off-limits to rivals.

Eagles have totally ruled out trading Mitch Brown.

The race for Koby Stevens is between Essendon, Bulldogs and St Kilda.

North Melbourne has announced it has mutually agreed to trade wayward forward Matt Campbell.

North is also reportedly close to terms with Melbourne for defender Cam Pedersen, while youngster Cruize Garlett has told the club he wants to be traded to either West Coast or Fremantle.

The Kangaroos are, however, close to re-signing important big man Lachie Hansen, after he receieved interest from several other clubs.

Can't be any softer than an Edwards, Nahas or Jackson for example.   Or Rodan for that matter who we are linked to. There are about five clubs after Young if you believe the papers.  He would have to be an upgrade over what we have and we could use an outside player who can kick the ball with some penetration.  Most of our outside players have average penetration with their kicks at best.

Jackson aint soft.  Young is softer than Edwards and probably on par with Nahas, who is much smaller. Young has a nice left boot but that's about it. Average player.

The Demons are going to come out of draft with Viney for a steal, pick 4 and Hogan, who is rated as a top pick next year..... BUT

They overpaid for Dawes, they overpaid for the Hogan/Barry package deal. Yes they got pick 20 back, but Barry isn't rated too highly and was expected to go in the 3rd/4th round of the draft. Hogan could also be overtaken by other kids in 2013 and could drop down the draft pecking order. Melbourne have either got a gun, or a guy that may have slipped into the 10s or 20s next draft for pick 3.

I don't think they have much idea what they are doing to be honest, when you look at what we have done for minimal cost. Morris, Maric, Grigg, Houli, Chaplin and Knights for pick 37, a 1 spot pick downgrade, Andrew Collins and a PSD pick.

Maybe they should look at his other videos.  In doiing that, they would have found someone who can kick a 60m bomb in a grand final.

I found the comment "would have won a norm smith medal if not injured" from a Hawthorn supporter interesting.  Most likely why there are 5 clubs into him.  Hard to understand why Richmond would not be.

Rumour in Adelaide - a swap of North's Matt Campbell for Port's Ben Jacobs
Highly doubt that.  Campbell didn't choose to leave.  Has been pushed out the door.

WEST Coast midfielder Koby Stevens is set to make a call on where he wants to be traded within the next 24 hours.

Stevens announced his desire for a move back to his home state of Victoria at the start of the Gillette AFL Trade Period, and his manager Ned Guy has confirmed the Western Bulldogs, Essendon and St Kilda are all interested.

Ch 10 news tonight said a deal to trade Tippett to the Swans isn't far away. They claimed the deal is Jesse White plus the Swans' first pick (#22) to Adelaide for Tippett.

Essendon believes it will soon re-sign out-of-contract forward Scott Gumbleton and veteran ruckman David Hille.

The media are claiming the Tippett deal will be done in the next few days. Swan Jesse White who is expected to be part of the trade swap is off to Adelaide for a medical.

Uncontracted Port Adelaide youngster Ben Jacobs intends to nominate North Melbourne as his club of choice.

The Age is saying Port will receive two compo picks for Danyle Pearce and Troy Chaplin but St Kilda, expected to receive a first round choice for Brendon Goddard, is the club others are waiting to deal with.

The Saints have made well known their interest in Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey and contracted West Coast defender Mitch Brown. Several other clubs have also expressed interest in Hickey, who hopes to move to Melbourne.

I think because the players we were after were free agents and didn't require the trading of any of our Spuds. I'm sure had we gone after someone who was either on contract or a restricted Agent, we would have been trying to sweeten deals with all sorts of options at our disposal.

[tigerblitz]We don't have any spuds and if it weren't for contracts then clubs would be queuing up for our stars.

From the Herald-Sun's Live Chat today:

Comment From Macca
Question is this. Will Richmond trade pick 9 to GWS for 12 & 13?

Gilbert Gardiner:
nice work Macca... finger on the pulse!! whispers floating about that Tigers warming to that idea... in reality, not much diff between 9 and 12-13 so to have two top-liners for the price of one...

Comment From rombosghost
Is Macca on the money? I like the look of that deal. Was it GWS' idea?

GIlbert Gardiner:
originally floated as part of a proposed Dom Tyson trade but word is Tigers warming to the idea.

-------------------------------------------------------

Comment From TigerTiger
Have you heard about Jared Moore from Sydney to Richmond as a mature rookie? Looks adone deal. Also Richmond looking at Vlastuin in the draft so that rumour of 12 and 14 for Pick 9 could be a goer.

GIlbert Gardiner:
interesting... would be Moore's last chance.
solid ressies player.


-------------------------------------------------------

Comment From Tiger321
Any truth to Axel Foley and pick 9 to gws for pick 2 & 12???

GIlbert Gardiner:
would be a risk coming off Achilles injury, re-signed with the club.

--------------------------------------------------------

Comment From someguy
as opposed to big name de-listings, will there be any little names getting the chop?

GIlbert Gardiner:
North have aired a couple who loom as delistings... Richmond probably should delist Dan Jackson...

don't get me wrong, Jackson is a great clubman, but think the Tiges have gone past him.


Comment From Tony
Why tell a kid to do his homework when you don't even know that delisted players are automatically free agents? Why do you think a player who couldn't get a game for Port will be an asset for North and is worth a player and a pick? Why do you say 'nothing's come across our desk' when any journo worth his salt is out there hunting stories? Now you say Richmond should delist Jackson?! Do you have ANY idea?

GIlbert Gardiner:
cheers Tony,

Jackson played 80odd per cent of game time, averaged 18 disposals at 69 per cent efficiency despite about 70 per cent of disposals being uncontested. While delist might be harsh, trade is certainly not out of the question.
   
Tigers going past him in leaps and bounds.


---------------------------------------------------------------

Comment From Joe
With the other Matt White in the news, are there any takers on the Richmond variety?

GIlbert Gardiner:
nah not really.. not a lot of interest to and from Tigerland.

--------------------------------------------------------

Comment From Joe
Karnzis? there was a rumor he was looking at a trade, has there been anything else mentioned on this?

Gilbert Gardiner:
nothing but rumour... talked about but not a lot of movement.

---------------------------------------------------------

Comment From FRED
hi jay why are you ignoring the richmond questions

Jay Clark:
Fred, Looks like Tigers are done mate. been busy already. Linked to D Rodan and M Thomas but if they happen it will be done late.

I agree Fisher is a good player but probably isn't worth pick 2, worth a first rounder but not pick 2. So if GWS are prepared to part with that and the saints need to start looking at rebuilding then I'd take the deal.

More on Iles:

Originally from Tasmania, Iles played a handful of games for Collingwood before the GC SUNS threw him a lifeline he grabbed with both hands.

Playing 16 of the 22 games, Iles provided plenty of support for the SUNS young brigade.

Iles not only wins his own ball, but works hard defensively as well. He was Gold Coast SUNS 2010 Best and Fairest player.

He was picked up by the GC SUNS in the 2010 Rookie Draft after a standout season in the midfield at Box Hill, one that saw him share third place in the Hawks’ Best and Fairest and achieve selection in the 2009 VFL Team of the Year.

Previous AFL club: Collingwood (2006-07: 7 games, 0 goals).
Draft history: 2006 NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft 1st round selection (Collingwood) No. 2 overall; 2010 Rookie Draft selection (Gold Coast) No. 3; 2010 rookie elevation (Gold Coast).

Lids = Untouchable.

Whilst the Tigers do not appear to be pushing for a straight swap for Gus with Sloane, I can kind of understand that, but could they at least give us Van Berlo or at a push Petrenko... :banghead

Now with Gus going, Stephenson could now be a realistic option to replace him now that McIntosh has gone to the Cats. I still think we should have pushed harder for Giles.  :banghead

If you think about it, clubs that lose unrestricted free agents should get better compensation.  They cannot do anything to stop losing their player. A team like St Kilda was free to offer the same amount that Essendon offered to keep him. Yet they seem to be compensated more!  Go figure that!

Adelaide is looking at replacing Tippett with two players - Richmond ruckman Angus Graham and Sydney ruckman-forward Jesse White.

To fit both Graham and White onto their 40-man player list - and have the obligatory three picks in the national draft next month - the Crows would have to trade or pay-out a contracted player.

The most vulnerable is former Richmond midfielder Richard Tambling, who is on contract for next season and played just one AFL game for Adelaide this season.

Andy Otten is also at risk, but less likely because of Adelaide's need to keep back-up options in its thin defensive unit.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/tippett-trade-may-lead-to-a-crow-being-axed/story-e6frf9jf-1226499608067



St Kilda was still pursuing young Sun Tom Hickey, with Collingwood also interested. The Suns want the Saints’ pick 13 for the promising ruckman.

To be honest WAT I don't think Hickey is the answer. He is a kid who was late to footy (Played Vollyball all his Juniors) and has only managed 12 games for the Gold Coast. For a 21 year old he dosen't have a whole lot of footy under his belt. To part with a fist round draft pick for him would be ludercrest, if the Pies want to go ahead and do that then let them, clearly they haven't learnt from the Cameron wood debarcle ;D

Fair enough, time will tell I suppose, we do need a Ruckman though, I just hope we don't leave it until the last minute and then miss out. If Maric goes down next year we are screwed, honestly we really don't have a proven ruckman to back him up.

For once I am confident we have something up our sleeve. I can see us taking a kid with pick 32-34 and a mature age Ruckman in either the PSD or first round rookie. Either that or Elton an Griffiths will be doing a hell of allot of ruck work this Pre Season ;D

Most clubs are in the same predicament. The sub rule makes it difficult to lure a ruckman if you already have an established one, or to keep one  that shows promise if he is not first in the pecking order.

As long as the sub rule persists, clubs will look more towards big blokes who can hold their own as a forward for their ruck stocks.

Hickey isn't a proven ruckman who can come straight in, anyway.

Port Adelaide football operations chief Peter Rohde agreed it was a fair estimate Port would seek to trade for two or three players this week, with an emphasis likely to be on defenders.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/port-adelaide-change-a-double-edged-sword/story-e6frf9jf-1226499898600



Trade deals sending Cameron Pedersen to Melbourne and Ben Jacobs to North Melbourne may be held up briefly, as the Demons look to secure a second- round draft pick in the final week of negotiations.

The Western Bulldogs and West Coast should soon reach a deal for another young midfielder, Koby Stevens, who has expressed his desire to move to the Whitten Oval. The Eagles will request pick 44 for the 21-year-old, but the Bulldogs are only willing to offer 51.

Koby Stevens was the one IIRC that Francis Jackson didn't rate at all and said he was a hopeless kick. I doubt we'd want him at all.

disagree.

i was impressed with his 2011 was very good for a back up ruckman, and 2009 he had a decent yr tracking in the right direction for a young player in his second yr in the afl.
he managed just 7 gmes this yr mainly due to injury. 2010 he played just 2 games again due to injury hip problem.  so hes stalled more due to injury than not having talent.
seems his two recent injury free seasons hes been decent and hes tracked well and truly in the right direction.

reckon he would be the type hartley looks at a talented player not getting a game or performing for what ever reason at another club, a player who may come real cheap.
at 199cm and 104kg hes plenty big enough to play first ruck in time. i think the knock on him here is does he have the ticker to play as a ruckman.

hes a little like derickx in the fact he was drafted as a mature recruit at age 21. unlike derickx
he managed 8 games in  his first yr 2008.  and like i said filled the second ruck role nicely in 2009 his second yr playing 19 games and showing real upside.
2010 2 games injury.
2011 21 games and a very decent season 96 marks, 18 possesions a game 10 goals and 16 h/o per game as the back up ruckman. nothing to be sneezed at.
2012 was a struggle with ijury managing just 7 games and looking very ordinary at times. another tall ruckman/for called vickery struggled in 2012 with injury and looked terrible.
would give him a try for the right price.

St Kilda leads the charge for Gold Coast ruckman Hickey, 21, but has been told the price is a first-round draft selection. St Kilda has picks 13, 25, 37, 46 and 57, but while Gold Coast wants pick 13, the Saints believe 25 might get them their man.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/department-of-trades/st-kilda-stuck-in-trade-jam-over-bids-for-mitch-brown-and-tom-hickey/story-fn69a32t-1226500267529

If Adelaide persists with chasing White to increase forward options around Taylor Walker, the Crows would need to cut a contracted player. The leading contender appears midfielder Richard Tambling.

Port Adelaide will enter the last week of trade talks still searching for a key defender. New coach Ken Hinkley's notes from Geelong could influence a move on Cats defender Tom Gillies.

Ben Jacobs' wish to be traded to North Melbourne may put Kangaroos defender Luke Delaney before the Power.

St Kilda's Farren Ray is likely to be traded to Melbourne.

2013 will be Jacko's 10th year and he'll be out of contract so I'm presuming he'll be a unrestricted free agent. Perhaps the Club wants to get something decent in return for him now while he's still contracted. If he ends up a fringe player next year because our list has improved then we'll be lucky to get any compo from the AFL if he walks to another club (ie. as Hawthorn with Young and Adelaide with Knights found out).

No doubt but that isn't something decent. Rather lose him for nothing than have Raph Clarke clog the list. Kosi will probably retire by end of next year anyway so we still lose.

If we wanted Raph Clarke we could have taken him for free a week ago.

From the Herald-Sun live chat today:

   
Comment From TigerTiger
Matt Thomas to Richmond by end of week. Daniel Jackson gone to Saints.

Herald-Sun:   
   Pretty sure Jackson has a contract until the end of next year. Haven't heard anything about Tigers moving him on

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Comment From Chris
Pick 9 & Daniel Jackson to GWS for Dom Tyson. A late trade.

Herald-Sun:
   Dan Jackson would be great at one of the expansion clubs... leadership qualities, mature body. Feel that Tyson is a bit of a pipe dream for the Tigers, he's pretty keen on staying.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment From dave
if jackson goes to saint what pick would saint give up

Herald-Sun:   
   Saints have picks 37 and 46 but I really don't think that is going to happen

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment From dave
daniel jackson straight swap for ray seems fair

Herald-Sun:   
   Why would the Tigers want Farren Ray?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment From KJ
Has Post been traded?

Herald-Sun:
   No. Haven't heard that one

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Comment From abs
would richmond be interested for steven martin for pick 40

Herald-Sun:   
   No. They have Ty Vickery to play that role. To be honest I'm not really sure why Dees want to get rid of Martin and get Cam Pederson who basically plays the same role

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment From Swiz
Can see Collingwood or Richmond picking up Mark Seaby as back up ruck

Herald-Sun:
   nah don't think so. looks done.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment From mandrew
Not sure what else Richmond need in this trade period... maybe med fwd (ala Knights)? maybe another midfield rotation? Mights as well load up on kids in the draft. thoughts?

Herald-Sun:   
   midfield on the up, defenders developing nicely...could do with help for Jack.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment From Con
How awesome are Richmond? Managed to trade Richard Tambling, Angus Graham and now possibly Jayden Post and Daniel Jackson for something in return!!! If our recruitment/list management team was around since 2004 we could have gotten something for Polo, Pattison, JON, hey...we may have never drafted them in the first place.

Herald-Sun:
   I think list guru Blair Hartley deserves a fair bit of credit. Doing a great job

Sounds like we need to offer too much for this kid
There is times more often than not we will have a dig at either post, jackson or nahas for some of their efforts or lack of at times, however I find all of those players mentioned have a value.

Having to trade a pick plus a player for a higher pick then on trade that plus another established player is beyond me.

I could accept trading pick 9 plus jackson or nahas? Both good players, both with some flaws but can contribute.

I would hate to lose both of them plus trade out, if this kid wants to play for us he will walk in 12 months time. Otherwise it will be at his own peril, Beware the tiger is stirring!

So Post and a stack of Yes records is not going to get us a decent pick?  8)  :(

I reckon Adelaide would take a stack of Yes records for Tippett as long as Sydney wasn't doing the deal

St Kilda has finally completed a trade for young Gold Coast ruckman Tom Hickey after agreeing to part with its first round pick, No. 13.

The deal, which has yet to be officially lodged with the AFL, also involves a swap of later picks, with the Saints receiving picks No.26 and 47 and the Suns receiving 37 and 57.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/150139/default.aspx



Negotiations involving Kurt Tippett (Adelaide), Ben Jacobs (Port), Mitch Brown (West Coast) Koby Stevens (West Coast), Cameron Pedersen (North Melbourne) and Jamie Cripps (St Kilda) remained unresolved.

The Kangaroos have made inquiries about Gold Coast half-back Taylor Hine.

It's basically just a big log jam.  Clubs are having a Mexican standoff, waiting for each other to make the first move.  With the Hickey trade getting done, I think we'll see a rush of trades tomorrow.  Expect Port to have a few trades.

SAINTS are offering pick 26 & Jamie Cripps for Mitch Brown.
Saints are also offering pick 47 for Gilham.

BULLDOGS are holding out and hoping WC cave in and take 51 for Koby Stevens. The Bulldogs are also looking at someone for 44.

COLLINGWOOD wants Stefan Martin but aren't willing to pass up 21 for him.  BRISBANE should get him with 33 today.

HAWTHORN is looking at Jordan Gysberts at pick 28 but Essendon will probably get him at at 35 because the Hawks aren't sure about his work ethic - that's why Neeld doesn't want him at Melbourne. The pies are sniffing around, too.

Farren Ray looks destined to go to MELBOURNE for pick 49 and that might be thrown into the Brown deal. Basically it would become Cripps + #26 + #49.

Hayden Jolly to go to Port Adelaide from Gold Coast, who want pick 38 for Taylor Hine at least to go to North Melbourne.

THE AFL has confirmed it is investigating whether the contract Kurt Tippett signed with Adelaide in 2009 broke the competition's player rules.

A statement released on Wednesday morning read: "The Australian Football League wishes to advise it has recently become aware of a matter regarding the contracting of player Kurt Tippett to the Adelaide Crows in 2009, to cover the 2010-2012 AFL seasons.

"The AFL is still in the process of investigating this matter and how it relates to the operation of the AFL Player Rules.

"The AFL has no further update to provide at this time."

Why would they care about a bloke they don't rate? Maric was playing twos and their ruckman is better than him anyway. Getting a 2nd rounder for him was a decent deal for them. Knights is a reserves player at a top side so if they GAF about him then why did they stick him in the reserves all year and let him walk? Even Clinton Young has more runs on the board and the Hawks only got pick 66. What would Adelaide expect for Knights? the #1 pick? They traded away picks to us because they werent going to use them.

We will then have one more shot at Tyson involving pick 6 and a "mature player"


http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/trades-and-free-agency-talk-pt2.977103/page-80#post-26176979

So, Pick 9, Post and Jackson or Nahas (assuming they are the mature players).  Hefty price to pay for a kid who has played half the games out of one season.
Western Bulldogs list manager Jason McCartney said there was no chance any of the first round picks would be traded before the 2pm Gillette Trade Period deadline on Friday.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/150193/default.aspx

So we can rule out the rumour of pick 9 + Post for the Dogs pick 6.

Essendon and Melbourne have spoken this morning regarding this trade.

Essendon receive Jordan Gysberts
Essendon lose Brent Prismall & a 4th round pick.

Melbourne receive Brent Prismall & a 4th round pick.
Melbourne lose Jordan Gysberts.

Adelaide put themselves in a bind as soon as they agreed to that clause in Tippett's contract. They allegedly agreed to trade Tippett to the club of his choice for a second round pick if he wanted to leave at the end of the contract (which is now). Problem was they assumed it would be to the Gold Coast whose second round pick is in the 20s. Tippett choosing Sydney instead meant by that clause the Crows should be accepting the Swans' second pick in the 40s which the AFL would've found suss anyway. This was always going to blow up in Adelaide's face  :wallywink.

Knights is a reserves player at a top side so if they GAF about him then why did they stick him in the reserves all year and let him walk? Even Clinton Young has more runs on the board and the Hawks only got pick 66. What would Adelaide expect for Knights? the #1 pick? They traded away picks to us because they werent going to use them.

Nice to see Coach making sense for a change   :thumbsup

 :lol

I always make sense. It's just up to the readers to soak in the thoughts of a legend. Sometimes it's hard for them to hear the truth.

Adelaide put themselves in a bind as soon as they agreed to that clause in Tippett's contract. They allegedly agreed to trade Tippett to the club of his choice for a second round pick if he wanted to leave at the end of the contract (which is now). Problem was they assumed it would be to the Gold Coast whose second round pick is in the 20s. Tippett choosing Sydney instead meant by that clause the Crows should be accepting the Swans' second pick in the 40s which the AFL would've found suss anyway. This was always going to blow up in Adelaide's face  :wallywink.


If Tippet gets unregistered to play he will only have himself to blame.

It is unlikely Adelaide will be stripped of draft picks, its cause helped by the fact it put up its hand.

Because there is no AFL injunction, Sydney and Adelaide might still seal a deal.

Sydney was last night waiting to hear from the AFL, believing it could get its man Tippett by offering pick 23 and Jesse White.

There was speculation the Swans could come up with a more "commercial" deal to satisfy the AFL.

A THREE-WAY deal delivering Stefan Martin, Ben Jacobs and Cameron Pedersen to their clubs of choice has been stalled by Brisbane's cold feet and Melbourne's meagre compensation selection.

Brisbane's reluctance to part with pick 33 for Demon utility Martin is the latest snag as Friday's 2pm deadline looms.

Port Adelaide wants North Melbourne's pick 15 for Jacobs given he was a former No.16 selection, but North won't give that up.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/three-way-deal-hits-snag-as-the-friday-trade-deadline-approaches/story-e6frf9io-1226502667864

West Coast has turned its attention to securing Melbourne wingman Cale Morton. One of West Coast's third-round selections (No.61 or No.62) could swing the deal for the Dees.

Gold Coast defender Joshua Toy has officially signalled his intention to return to Victoria. The 20-year-old, who is out-of-contract, has fielded interest from a number of Victorian clubs including the Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Essendon.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/150210/default.aspx

Speculation continues over the future of Essendon defender, Cale Hooker, today. The Herald Sun reports the Bombers could send Hooker to the Saints in a three-way trade which would potentially see Cripps end up an Eagle.

Sydney's Campbell Heath is set to join Port Adelaide in exchange for a late round draft pick.

Title: Re: Trade week targets & rumours [merged]
Post by: tiger101 on October 25, 2012, 06:46:23 PM
10 players still trying to find a new club tomorrow.

Quote
CAM PEDERSEN: Has been reportedly Melbourne bound from North Melbourne pretty much from the time the trade period started three weeks ago, yet still no deal. Can the Demons find the suitable pick to finalise the trade?

STEFAN MARTIN: The Melbourne swingman flew to Brisbane and got the all clear from the Lions, but the haggling continues. The Demons would like pick 33 for him, but the Lions don't believe that's his worth. This deal could happen quickly on Friday once the teams meet face to face, or fall down entirely.

JAMIE CRIPPS and MITCH BROWN: Cripps wants to return home to join West Coast, while Brown would like to be released from the last year of his contract with the Eagles to become St Kilda's full-back of the next few years. But until Thursday, it appeared that if there were to be deals to bring this to fruition, they wouldn't be lined with each other. Now, the Saints have reportedly offered Cripps and pick 25 to the Eagles for Brown. It is a deal that's been described as "fair" by Brown's manager Liam Pickering, but apparently not so by the Eagles. We agree with Pickering: it is fair and it should get done on Friday.

STEPHEN GILHAM: Might be the fallback for the Saints if the Brown deal doesn't get done. Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney showed some interest but have reportedly cooled off. But Gilham at least fills a hole for the next year or two while the Saints develop their own key defenders.

CALE MORTON: The Eagles will likely get him with a low drat pick, which is dirt cheap when you consider he was the fourth selection overall by Melbourne in the 2007 NAB AFL National Draft. The go-home factor never hurts, with Josh Hill, who enjoyed an excellent year with West Coast in his first year there after crossing from the Western Bulldogs, providing the template for that.

BEN JACOBS: Still hoping to get to North from Port Adelaide, but still not there. Expect it to happen by the deadline.

AARON EDWARDS: The high-flying North Melbourne forward - who will ever forget his hanger in the 2007 semi-final? - will become a Richmond player on Friday.

JOSH TOY: The Gold Coast teen wants to get back to Victoria. Hawthorn, Essendon and the Bulldogs are reportedly keen although his manager Liam Pickering said on Trade Week Radio on Thursday that he wasn't overly optimistic that a deal would get done.

KURT TIPPETT: The big one. He should be a Swans player by 2pm Friday, although there is now the real possibility of sanctions for the Crows given the deal they forged to keep him three years ago, and sanctions for his management company for its part in the arrangement. Tippett might not be spared either and faces the possibility of being deregistered. The outcome of the AFL investigation probably won't be known by Friday so the Swans will be flying blind to a degree, committing to a player who may be required to miss some games next year.

The Saints have moved to negotiate a trade of a late pick for Sydney small forward Trent Dennis-Lane.

Melbourne is still trying to find a pick to be able to trade to St Kilda for Farren Ray, who is still in contract and the Saints are happy to keep. If Melbourne ruck-forward Stefan Martin were to be traded to Brisbane, the Demons would try to include that pick in a trade to St Kilda.

The Demons  have agreed to trade former No. 4 draft pick Cale Morton to West Coast for pick 88. Morton was still in contract at Melbourne and the Demons are prepared to absorb some of his contract for next year at the Eagles.

Melbourne is likely to finally complete a deal today for key position player Cameron Pedersen from North Melbourne, in an exchange for midfielder Jordan Gysberts. North had been trying to tie the exchange of Pedersen into a trade for Ben Jacobs from Port but Melbourne has no player or draft pick that could be passed on to Port that would satisfy the Power.

Melbourne midfielder Jordan Gysberts could be headed to the Kangaroos in a straight swap for tall utility Cameron Pedersen. The Demons are believed to have offered either pick No.49 or Gysberts to complete the deal.

West Coast was also refusing to give up key backman Mitch Brown in a swap to St Kilda for playmaker Jamie Cripps and pick No.25.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/department-of-trades/gysberts-pedersen-swap-on-cards/story-fn69a32t-1226503452396

Just heard that.

* Edwards - Cameron said we needed another forward to cover for a Vickery type situation where one goes down.

* We needed insurance for injuries. When we copped injuries we had to bring in unready kids. Insurance for a team going for finals.

* Wallace asked if we had too many players (talls) of the same type? Cameron replied competition for spots amongst talls is what list management generates.

* As you mentioned Mrakov, he said we're done for the trade period barring any surprise.

* On Free agency - we were ready for it. The 4 week period is probably a little long so wouldn't be surprised if it's shorter in future.

This kids in this draft mustn't be rated highly considering so many trades are getting done.

Is this a poor draft year? And does that mean next year will be a good draft year?

Probably an average draft year but remember we have to exclude O'Maera, Crouch, Daniher, and Viney. So that's skimming 4 from the first round already.

Herald-Sun rankings of the trade/free agency recruits
Al Paton, Sam Landsberger
October 26, 2012 5:00PM



1. Brian Lake (Hawthorn)
Fills the one big gap in the Hawks' line-up. Could turn the runner-up into the premier. Can't ask for much more than that.

2. Brendon Goddard (Essendon)
Bombers needed some elite talent to complement Jobe Watson and they got it on the first day of free agency. Not sure exactly where BJ fits into the Bombers' line-up.

3. Greg Broughton (Gold Coast)
Freo says he didn't fall out with Ross Lyon but he could be forgiven for wondering why he was being moved all over the ground when he dominated every time he went into the midfield. Great get for the Suns.

4. Danyle Pearce (Fremantle)
Not a lot of noise about this one but the Rising Star Award winner delivers the outside pace Freo needs. Will love the wide open spaces of Subiaco - and taggers going to Stephen Hill.

5. Troy Chaplin (Richmond)
Continues the theme at Richmond (and on this list) of trading for specific needs. Everyone knew the Tigers needed a key defender and in Chaplin they have one. Finished top-three in Port Adelaide's B&F in 2009 and 2010.

6. Josh Caddy (Geelong)
A top-10 draft pick with two years’ experience under his belt. Caddy, an inside midfielder, played every match for the Suns this year and was the ideal trade target after missing out on Travis Boak. Also knows how to kick multiple goals, booting thee against the Cats this year.

7. Tom Hickey (St Kilda)
We’ve seen him only 12 times at AFL level but those in the know say this kid will be big. Hickey should slot in next season to lend Ben McEvoy a hand in the ruck, a key area the Saints needed instant aid in. Pick 13 was a high price, but the Saints got 26 back and they say Hickey could’ve gone 7-12 in the draft, anyway.

8. Hamish McIntosh (Geelong)
The Cats still want to challenge and to do that they need an A-grade ruckman, a clear deficiency this year. Chris Scott is praying his knees hold up.

9. Sharrod Wellingham (West Coast)
Wellingham eases the loss of Tom Swift and Koby Stevens by adding another layer to West Coast’s engine room. At 24 and after 92 games (including a flag) he’s set to enter his prime, but he did cost the Eagles a first-round pick. Buddy, time to find a new housemate.

10. Clinton Young (Collingwood)
The dashing line-breaker with a raking left foot adds much-needed zip to Nathan Buckley’s side, particularly after Wellingham’s defection. Prying him from a fellow contender makes the signing even sweetener, while you have to wonder if Young would have left the Hawks had he kept his feet in the last quarter of the Grand Final.

11. Jared Rivers (Geelong)
Rivers said himself he’s no Matthew Scarlett but a ready-made replacement will help plug a hole and keep the Cats competitive with the best in the business. They snagged him for free and, like Harry Taylor, Rivers comes with that forward flexibility.

12. Quinten Lynch (Collingwood)
The Pies tried to turn Chris Dawes into Leigh Brown this year and it didn't work. Now they have a Brown clone.

13. Chris Dawes (Melbourne)
Dawes’ value dipped after a horror 2012 but if the power forward can rediscover his premiership form as he reunites with Mark Neeld the Dees will have an imposing attack.

14. Aaron Edwards (Richmond)
The journeyman cost just pick 74 and will take some heat off Jack Riewoldt. At 28 the sharp-shooter still has a few bags of goals left as the likes of Ty Vickery and Todd Elton develop.

15. Koby Stevens (Western Bulldogs)
The tall, tough, inside midfielder perfectly fits Brendan McCartney’s blueprint and at 22 the Dogs think he’s ready to explode. A ferocious tackler, he was starved of games due to West Coast’s star-studded midfield but should slot into the Whitten Oval mix immediately.

16. Brent Moloney (Brisbane Lions)
Moloney wins clearances, an area Voss’s side struggled in, and cost the Lions nothing. Was the Dees best player in 2011 before falling out of favour this year. He’s 28 but Brisbane hopes to squeeze four years out of him.

17. Jamie Cripps (West Coast)
The Eagles got the homesick Saint relatively cheap, and while he might take time to win a place in John Worsfold's side, he showed potential as a junior. The first-round pick knows where the goals are and performed OK as a substitute for Scott Watters this season.

18. Jordan Gysberts (North Melbourne)
Pick 11 in the draft just three years ago, Gysberts showed enormous promise with 15 games in 2011 before, like many, having his papers stamped early by new coach Mark Neeld. The inside midfielder can kick goals and should earn more game time at Arden St.

19. Angus Monfries (Port Adelaide)
Monfries stopped the rut of Port Adelaide bleeding players and his class and goal sense will prove handy. Needs to take that next step though, particularly to earn the midfield time he craves.

20. Stephen Gilham (GWS)
The one and only experienced player recruited this season by the expansion club. Had knee surgery in 2011 and couldn't get back into the Hawks' side this season, playing just six matches. Phil Davis will be very happy to have another experienced body in the GWS back half.

21. Jack Hombsch (Port Adelaide)
One of the original Giants'17-year-old selections, Hombsch played just nine matches this year but comes with huge potential. Long way to go yet though.

22. Chris Knights (Richmond)
Half-forward with a booming left foot who spent most of last season in the SANFL but has shown an ability to break lines and kick goals in the past. Follows Tiger pattern of recruiting to fill a gap in the list.

23. Tom Murphy (Gold Coast)
At least he won't have to worry about getting dropped for the Grand Final at his new club. Former Hawk will get a lot more games took, adding experience to the back half.

24. Cam Pedersen (Melbourne)
We've heard often enough in recent weeks that he is a swingman who can play back, foward or ruck. A lot like Stefan Martin really. Played two matches for North this year.

25. Stefan Martin (Brisbane)
Fills the key-position void in Brisbane’s attack, while his versatility will aid their ruck stocks, especially with the clock ticking for Ben Hudson.

26. Angus Graham (Adelaide)
An old-fashioned ruckman who can make a contest in the middle but doesn't have too many strings to his bow. Insurance if Sam Jacobs goes down and might get more of a crack with the Jesse White trade falling through.

27. Jordan Russell (Collingwood)
The medium defender became a VFL regular in 2012 and while that could continue at the Pies next year, he’s solid insurance for no cost. Russell, a top-10 pick, was popular at the Blues and rated highly as a leader.

28. Cale Morton (West Coast)
No.4 draft pick never fulfilled his potential in six seasons at the Dees. Will be hoping to follow footsteps of Josh Hill and playing in a better side will help. Not in best 22.

29. Trent Dennis-Lane (St Kilda)
The former Swans small forward boasts good pace and goalsense, but his lack of defensive work kept him out of the senior side. Hard to see him cracking through at the Saints, who are flush for similar players.

30. David Rodan (Melbourne)
Now at his third club after being delisted by Port Adelaide - Melbourne could have got him for nothing in the draft but chose to use the pick in a trade instead. Quick and has a crack but his found a perhaps unwanted niche as the perfect sub.

31. Shannon Byrnes (Melbourne)
Knows where the goals are but has played just nine games in the past two seasons. Will add some zip, and the experience of two flags, to the Dees, but far from a top-liner.

32. Tom Young (Western Bulldogs)
The Dogs have an abundance of inside midfielders, Young compliments that with some outside run and precise kicking. The 20-year-old has showed a bit in nine appearances with the Pies but yet to establish himself as an AFL player.

33. Matt Spangher (Hawthorn)
Remember this guy? Played 16 games for the Eagles then 16 for the Swans, but none this year. Replaces Murphy and Gilham as a back-up defender.

34. Lewis Stevenson (Port Adelaide)
A dashing half-back who was on the fringe of selection for West Coast this season but couldn't add to his 10 senior games, which all came in 2010.

35. Campbell Heath (Port Adelaide)
Defender had surgery twice on his left knee and was delisted after playing two games, then redrafted as a rookie last year but couldn't earn promotion. A project.

WHO KNOWS?

In no particular order, another six players landed on AFL lists as part of trade deals, but are yet to be exposed at the top level.

Tom Lee (St Kilda)
Jack Martin (Gold Coast)
Jesse Hogan (Melbourne)
Dom Barry (Melbourne)
Jed Anderson (Hawthorn)
Jake Neade (Port Adelaide)

Toy would be interesting but his heart condition does limit him somewhat. I'd look at Ben Warren from Nort . He's still only 23.
I'd also look at Gillies if he is over his injuries.


How about Patto as a backup ruckman??  :rollin :rollin
Title: Re: Trade week targets & rumours [merged]
Post by: JVT on November 02, 2012, 11:00:16 AM
I'd look at both Gillies and Toy.

Seen Gillies play, looks to struggle when under pressure, but in his defense, hasn't been given much time with Scarlett being back there for Geelong.

I reckon the heart condition of Toy has been played up a bit. The kid has some crisp disposal from the back line, knows how to find targets.

Our recruiters won't consider picking up one of these guys though unless they feel they offer more than what they could pick up with our last active pick at 43.

to take a player from this list do we have to cut a player. if so that would mean we have to cut a contracted player can anyone see it happening. by re-signing long term hacks like white we have effectively excluded ourselves from this process.

Settle Claw, we can still Vet List Newman.  If we see a need for an inconsistent under-achieving player from Melbourne then we can still get him.

What happened to Matthew Panos? Didn't even get a game for WB.. Good size and looked good at VFL level.

We would have to rookie just about any we pick up - it should be interesting to see if we take a pre loved or just kids

Collins was good for Carlton when he wasnt injured and was regularly getting over 20 possesion last seson
He will be picked by Carlton again and was only dropped off the list because Carlton had to make room.

I'm pretty sure it was mentioned somewhere that our philosophy of rookieing kids is out the window  and we will be looking at more mature bodies to rookies as apposed to kids.

BTW I don't think its confirmed that Petterd is actually training with us?? Does anyone have a solid answer on this?

if you pick up a delisted player under free agency can you give a one year contract or do you have to give a minimum of two like you do when you draft them?

so if we decide to try and improve the list and take the punt on a inconsistent underachiever we clog the list up with not one but two inconsistent underachievers by hanging onto white.
one or the other for me and petterd is better value than white. nothing wrong with value adding.

as far as managing the list goes we would have  edwards 28yo , petterd 24yo, ohanlon 19yo all medium sized marking forwards.
 if we cut white 25yo we would have king 29yo , nahas 25yo, edwards 24yo as small forwards.
 there is absolutely no need to keep matt white as far as the list is concerned. neither as depth or for performance or standard. hes behind every player mentioned.

I think it's very much a negotiation with the player's manager.
Presumably there will be offer(s) on the table and the manager will pick the best.
So yes you can go with a one year but you may be outbid.

Agree, as long as the value add is in an area we need.  Replacing White with Petterd is like replacing an orange with an apple - great to have a piece of fruit but when I need citrus, a pome doesn't cut it.

For list stability and structure White is needed this year.  Depth in 2013 is a key and White gives us some depth in the midfield, Petterd doesn't.  We have covered off in the area Petterd could help and we don't need any more of his type.

Ben Jacobs is quitting Port and is back in Melbourne looking for a new club. North (who tried to trade for him), St Kilda and Essendon are interested in him.

Kyle Reimers could find a new home playing under Mick Malthouse at Carlton.

Can Jacobs be picked up a free agent, or is that only delistings?

I'd grab him in the PSD if he was there.

BEN JACOBS is set to walk out on Port Adelaide after deciding to nominate for the NAB AFL Draft

AFL.com.au understands North remains Jacobs' preferred new home. Given the Roos' trade period stance, they will presumably be hoping to snare the midfielder in the draft with pick No. 38.

Their chances of doing so are clouded by the interest shown in Jacobs by Victorian clubs such as the Western Bulldogs, St Kilda and Essendon during the trade period, all of whom have picks between the Roos' first- and second-round selections.

Ben Jacobs isn't a free agent so he can only be picked up in the upcoming drafts. If we wanted to use 4 picks on newbies and then have a 5th pick for a recycled player then yes we would have to delist another player. However that isn't going to happen. We will be using just 4 picks.
