SCOTT LYCETT (West Coast) - Restricted free agent:
Roaring up the charts as an elite ruckman given he and Nic Naitanui are forming a strong combination that hands them both solid game time.
The question is whether he wants to be a first-choice ruckman and whether the Eagles have the cash to withstand bumper offers elsewhere given commitments to Elliott Yeo, Jeremy McGovern and Gaff.
Clubs don’t want to recruit ruckmen any more, they want to poach them, and Lycett is doing everything possible to maximise his options after an injury-ravaged 2017.
No one would forgive him if he jumped ship to a club which can give him big money and the lead role, but right now with West Coast’s form, why would you want to leave?
If he did want to leave, you would think all of Richmond, Carlton and Essendon would be considering their succession plan for ruckmen.

So a "succession plan" for 23 year-old Nankervis would involve bringing in 25 year-old Lycett?
-
This might be a contingency if we don't end up with Lynch
-
Yes but it's hardly a "succession plan" as the "journalist" is speculating..... also not sure he offers that much up forward....
-

Agreed, I was thinking moreso he'd be the number 1 Ruck with Nank up forward and relieving in the Ruck....
But, not altogether ground breaking
-
Don’t think nanks a good enough forward to be spending anymore than resting time there. He’s great around the ball and that’s where he should stay. Another key fwd who can give short stints in the ruck is what we need imo. Anyone available.......?
-
Tom McDonald
Estimated value: $700,000
Linked clubs: Richmond, Collingwood, Fremantle
What’s going on: McDonald is in talks with the Demons and says he’s keen to stay – and he is – but salary cap pressure is starting to squeeze at Melbourne and the 25-year-old could definitely earn more elsewhere with some big players considering him if bids for Gold Coast’s Tom Lynch fall through.
Will he go: The Demons will need to find ways to get the money, but if they can match other offers then McDonald will be in the red and blue for a few years yet.
Go-Stay? 20-80

Agree with this. Nanks actually a very good no. 1 ruck and will continue to improve to become one of the comps better rucks imo, already id have him in the top half a dozen 'around the ground rucks'. Hitouts are overated
-

The journalist is thinking back to the sort of succession planning we did in the late 80's and early 90's.

He re-signed recently......
-
Two rumours :
Sam Mitchell will definitely not be at WCE next year as assistant coach.
Clarkson will leave the Hawks to coach Carlton.
The former rumou is as certain as I can be. The latter is just hearsay and not as strong.

Didn't they just re-sign Bolton?
Big payout if Clarko comes over
-
Would be a very ‘Carlton’ move if they brought Clarkson across. They never develop any of their own talent, just try and poach others.
Don’t see it happening at all, btw.
I wonder if Mitchell is leaving for greener pastures or if WC have just had their fill of the Afls biggest wanker.
-
Why would Clarkson go to Carlton and ruin his mastercoach reputation?! :yep.
-

Carlton have some really good youth. They will pick up some guns in the superdraft this year and all they will then need is guidance. Give them 3 years and they will be hard to beat with the right coach.

True but they had that 10 years ago with Fev, Kennedy, Waite, Betts, Simpson and adding via the draft Kreuzer, Murphy and Gibbs. They gave Kennedy away to get Judd which in the short-term got them up into the finals for a couple of years before it fell all apart flicking Ratten to get Malthouse. As we learnt from the hard way over three decades, the messiah chasing mentality only keeps footy clubs in permanent mediocrity.
Carlton have major cultural problems. The club still lives in the past with its oligarchy boardroom. The Blues have a total disconnect between those that run the club (and have run it for years) and its supporters/members. Why they haven't kept pace off-field (eg: membership) with the other big Victorian clubs. Continual poor on-field performance is a reflection of poor off-field performance and culture.

Easy target, mind you how we laughed when Brendan Gale made his outrageous statement.
Now it has come true.
Were we in as bad a state as Carlton is now?

Depends on when you equate the two based on 2018 being Bolton's third year.
* 3rd year of Wallace's reign (2007), we were arguably just as bad. Didn't win a game until R12 and our second not until R19. Finished with just 3 wins and a draw. Of our future premiership players, it was Riewoldt and Edwards' first year of AFL. We picked up Cotch & Rance in the draft at the end of that season. All up a decade off it.
* 3rd year of Dimma's reign (2012), we had beaten both eventual Grand Finalists Hawthorn & Sydney and knocked off a still good St Kilda on a Friday night at Etihad before falling away in the second half of the year (choking losses to Gold Coast [Karmichael Hunt goal/"worst 45 secs of footy"], Carlton, etc...). All up 5 years off it (played finals the following year though).

Give them Bolton and Conca/Kamdyn or a 2nd rounder.
Win/win. Club has to be bold. Bolton surplus to our needs and this kid is a true midfield prospect

All up 5 years off it (played finals the following year though).
In 2010, Dimma's first year, for those first 9 rounds I'd say we were. Getting pumped every week, Relton Roberts and co running around for us. Dark times. Having said that, round 8 we played really well against Hawthorn, who were a very strong team, and we sort of turned a corner. We won 6 games from our last 13 and ended up finishing second bottom. I always felt, even when we weren't competitive, that we went out and tried our guts out during that period. We got smacked a few times but even then I didn't see anything as insipid as Carlton have been v Freo or Melbourne.
Flash forward 2 years and we were pushing hard for finals. I think we won 12 games that season 2012?
Edit: 10 wins and a draw.

Those two things could well be linked. Clarkson moves on, Mitchell returns to Hawthorn.
FWIW, The Clarkson to Carlton one has been around for a little while and I think has some legs.
-
Cerra is a beauty and being out of contract id hope like hell we are in his ear. By hook or by crook id be after him.
Talking of mids Will Brodie not done a lot yet, not getting games but i reckon he can play.He is that real big bodied mid that we dont have.
On the gcs theme obviously Tom Lynch but what about having a little dig at two metre peter. A genuine fwd who really could give Nankervis a decent chop out.
Thing is we may have that player on our list in both Coleman-Jones and Chol. But with both we need to be a little patient neither are there yet. I actually think Coleman-Jones will make a fine ruckman.
-
Cerra is a beauty and being out of contract id hope like hell we are in his ear. By hook or by crook id be after him.
Being a first year player Cerra is contracted until the end of 2019, so he isn't unavailable short term and no way in hell will Freo trade him while contracted
So....
Far more important targets at the moment for season 2019
-
Didn't stop the scraggers getting Tom Boyd..... :shh

Curnow reportedly signed for 880 a year.
Eff me, that’s overs and then some!

Shiel would be ideal.....but no chance of coming here - still bitter over Cotchin's love tap and if he's still dating Choco's daughter you can be sure he's been getting in his ear with negative comments about the club... :shh
-

Last time his contract came up he didn't have any issue with Cotchin and Chocco was gainfully employed by the club yet he chose to resign with GWS.
So agree no chance
-
:shh

Mods please ban any poster who suggests we go after Mitch Wallis.....thank you.... :shh

Shiel's name is doing the rounds today in the media as a trade target.
-
Yes please.
-
Wasn’t he rumoured to be close to coming to us last time his contract was up?
I’m wondering if there might not be a mass exodus of GWS players in the next few seasons....

Tim Taranto please..... :shh

I’d say colossal error of judgement in the journalism field is more long the lines of suggesting Adam Goodes be the spokesperson for a King Kong theatre show than suggesting a young player might be gettable but either way you get to keep your job....

Judging on the talk on Footy Classified, Beames wants to return to Melbourne after the death of his father.
Noting that he left Collingwood to go to the Lions when his dad was sick with cancer, it is interesting that he may not want to go back to the Pies.
The deal was done in 2014 and sent Beams and pick 67 to Brisbane for picks 5, 25 and Jack Crisp.
At 28, I don't think the Lions would be getting anything like a top ten pick now however he has been and still is one of the shining lights for Brisbane.

Makes no difference can still be put up for trade, has to agree obviously

Plenty of contracted players get traded.... Lids says "Hi" ;D

1st round pick for 2020 draft, as a minimum

We can trade with Carlscum again under the provisio that one of them takes a bowl of hot chip fat in the face as part of the transaction.

Ok, but who? LoGuidice? I think his face has already seen its fair share of hot chip fat ...
SOS? Maybe. I'm listening ... :snidegrin
MacClure? Oh yeah, please let it be Box Head! :clapping
Kernahan? I could be convinced. :-\
Nah, I tell you what, we'll trade but we want a two first round picks & the '82 Premiership Cup back with a really good apology for the strategic last quarter stripper!

Apparently we're also looking at Ellis-Yeoman......god I hope not...... :facepalm

ellis is another bellis so thats a massive no for me
beams yep

Also heard Beams wants to come back to Melbourne.
But would only play for Collingwood...

Not if the rumours about his feelings towards Buckley are true.... :shh

from what i know how that all played out last time, there would be no chance he would return to the pies

Why would we want Beams at 30 years of age?

Just had an intresring chat with a Saints mate.
He said the Saint are flat out into Miles but he’s desperate to get to North.
Saints have put a good deal to him but apparently will take considerably less to play with Norh :lol
Mav Weller has also asked to be traced back to the Gold Coast :lol :lol

Considerably less to play for north.......I call bs.

Hard to see North as a more attractive option for Snipper as they need outside run, not an inside extractor. Although they do play Hobart 3 times a year.
Milsey would be a decent fit for the Aints given Armytage is shot and they do have outside skiers that need regular distribution. Can see Miles lack of pace and spread being exposed a bit at Etihad though. Would not like getting stuck in the VFL at Beach Oval on a winters howlin wind.
A loyal Tiger servant that deserves to find a suitable home to extend his AFL career.
-
If Brayshaw still talks to those inside North then they'll be targeting outside players from what he has been saying in the afternoons. I don't mind losing Miles but surely he's not the best fit for an already slow and one dimensional midfield.
-

Why would you want to play for the saints, ? They are "miles" away

I heard a rumour that we are into a big bodied midfielder and guys, they don't get much better. He's had his injury concerns but he is ready to explode. My mate who coaches the Sydney Swans Academy has been coaching against him for years and reckons he's better than Heaney and Mills. Get excited if it's true!
-
Don’t know how much cap space we’ll have left after lynch joins but coniglio is a free agent next year and would be an ideal addition to our midfield. If the giants manage to keep hold of Shiel this trade period than surely one of coniglio, Shiel or kelly gets squeezed out next year with the latter two definitely out of our price range you would think.

Heard Damo say that once next years contracts tick over that GWS will be about $2m over the cap. They need to offload.
-
Yup he said gws were planning to be winning flags by 2016-2018 which is why they stacked their TPP. Plan was to offload a couple of the longer term higher end deals for multiple first round draft picks after winning a flag so that they could relieve their cap pressure while still staying ahead of the rest of the comp in terms of talent.
He said Shiel and Scully are the two who could potentially be moved back to Victoria.

Would be great but think we’ve both agreed an inside mid is of greater need than an outside runner.

Hmmm....don't rate this bloke but have heard the same re: Cerra & Hopper/Setterfield. The stuff about Lobb & St.Kilda stuff is news to me though:

I thought I heard Setterfield to Carlton was as good as done.
-
Probably why we're also into Hopper as a contigency. Heard nothing regrading Wallis either and sincerely hope it's crap. Might as well stick with Plonka.
If we're after Lobb -which I highly doubt at this stage- then surely we'd have to be planning to go with a two ruck set up next year as I can't see him coming down to play VFL or fight it out with Nankervis for the senior spot. Reckon he's a bit soft to carry the ruck by himself anyway. :shh
Also dunno who the stuff we'd want from St. Kilda that'd be available. Doubt they'd trading Steven or Steele. Maybe Acres or Billings? Was a big fan of the former in his draft year but he's done stuff all since while the latter's had a woeful year but can definitely play. :shh :shh

We don’t need any of those players.
Get Lynch, trade out Bellis, Conca, Moore and Bolton and draft some kids and we have done well.
Set ourselves up for another 3 years.

We need at least one ready to go quality inside mid. If we're smart we could stay in the draft & get Cerra plus Hopper or Setterfield. Cerra wants to come home, Bolton wants to go home. WA boys Conca, Broad(edit:who I'm hearing is more than open to the idea :shh) & McIntosh are all expendable IMO and the latter two at least would have currency. GWS are desperate to offload players to stay under the cap. We have currency & can trade next year's picks as well and we'll drafting the best kid in the country the year after that anyway regardless of where we finish. #inbalmewetrust :shh

Why is an inside mid so important when we have Prestia, Graham and Cotch who play that roll?
In fact most of our mids are a good spread of inside and out- Dusty, Lambert, Caddy, hell even Conca
How many more can you play in the one side?
We have won 18 games with this side, I would hate for the club to try and get too cute and change things too much. And we have decent depth players that cannot even get a look in.
Get Lynch and draft some quality kids that you won’t have to pay 💰 much for until some of our older guys are near their end.
Trading out guys like Bolton, Conca and Bellis would be the smartest thing this club could do this trade period imo. They have trade value and all replaceable with guys we already have on our list and with bigger upside.
In any case, our list is in great shape.

Agree with you on our inside midfielders,but I cannot understand why we loose the clearances always with the quality there.
-
Our midfield depth is poor....those blokes get injured then it's basically just Conca, Lloyd, CEllis & Miles and Miles won't even be here next year, I'd be very surprised if CEllis was either at least with Lloyd also likely to seek a trade and a bunch of first year kids aren't likely to address the issue right away...should always be looking to improve the list and it's depth regardless of where you finish....:shh

If I was Carlton I’d do that,
but don’t forget, you have to trade with Sos to make anything happen. He’ll expect one, (if not both) of the Crouch brothers as the “sweetener”.

Jared Polec reportedly offered $800,000 a year over 5 years by St Kilda they’ll say market forces determines his value but no need to get into bidding wars. His asset is metres gained in games but not a noted goal kicker, outside player who can turn ball over. #excessive

The Saints are destined to be poo forever if they are even entertaining this. Polec is average at best.

Dahlhaus gone, no surprise given difference in offers ... was always headed this way ... Wallis and Libba expected to stay ... given term and $ Dogs a chance of end of first round compo for Dahl ... a la Motlop compo last year

Dan Hannebery has told the Swans he wants to be traded in October.
St Kilda is confident the 27 year-old will be at Moorabbin next year, but a trade will first need to be orchestrated between the Swans and Saints.

Gold Coast coach Stuart Dew has confirmed the club are interested in signing out-of-contract Geelong midfielder George Horlin-Smith.

Sydney have confirmed that Dan Hannebery and Gary Rohan have informed the club of their desire to be traded back to Victoria in next month’s trade period.
Hannebery will seek a trade to St Kilda.
https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/09/12/swans-pair-confirm-desire-to-be-traded/
Ch 7 news tonight said Geelong is desperate for a ruckman and is looking at Stefan Martin. So the Cats are now chasing him as well as Dahlhaus and Rohan. Part of their "plan" to attract old Geelong boys back home (eg: Dangerfield).
-
To think Hannebery is another of those big free agents we chased and failed to sign. Another disappointment that resulted in glory.
-
Cats offered Abbott young ruck 1 year deal and they go aftet Martin who is 31 or 32 and he's looking at his options others clubs interested showed a bit to.I would go after him.
-
I would like a guy like Hannebery at the Tigers, not for $800,000/year though.
He's a Tiger's supporter isn't he? If he wants some more glory he should come to us for cheaper than that!
Would love a bit of extra midfield depth...
-
Looks like a footballer who is losing his capabilities. Do not want under any circumstances. He can go fund his superannuation at ST Kilda
not us.

My source tells me the Shiel camp are using the Saints’ cap space to drive up his asking price with other VIC clubs. Last year I reported the Saints offered Shiel a million dollar, 5 year deal. That offer has significantly increased in 12 months.
But have the Saints called Shiel’s bluff? Are the Saints preparing to use Shiels’ personal relationship in their favour by offering a coaching role to Mark “Choco” Williams? This, combined with the financial and leadership incentives STK can afford.
As it stands today, STK’s offer to Shiel is close to 25% larger than the next best offer from rival VIC clubs. Negotiations continue.

Port Adelaide will listen to trade offers for Chad Wingard (via Michelangelo Rucci in the Adelaide Advertiser):
Port Adelaide is ready to measure all offers on Wingard in next month’s AFL trade period rather than be stung with an inferior deal with a compensation pick from league headquarters should Wingard be picked off next year as a free agent with a “godfather offer” — as uncontracted wingman Jared Polec will be by North Melbourne.

I know these figures for Polec sound ridiculous and rightly so but honestly kangas don’t have many if any on the list that would demand large salaries. If they front end his deal and knock off the majority of it in the first two years then by the time they get other players (josh Kelly) he won’t actually be on the 750k that’s being thrown around.

North Melbourne are keen to trade Brayden Preuss in exchange for a second or third round pick. Melbourne, & Adelaide have expressed interest.
Jack Scrimshaw wants a move home to Victoria. He met with Carlton earlier in the year. St Kilda are also interested in acquiring his services. The Blues have bigger fish to fry, which may see the young Sun slip away to a rival Victorian club.

Can we trade Miles for Scrimshaw.
Can we also trade Moore for Preuss.
Add Collier-Dawkins as a first founder (18-20).
Pick up a ruck (206) and two big tall mids (193).

Cheers EEA. That's what I thought also. Don't see Towner going anywhere unless there's an offer too good to refuse.

Trade Moore? He has no upside with us??
I do think his upside is limited.
On the other hand I think Balta's upside is much higher.
At the end of the day you must give players a chance to get a senior game and when (if) we get Lynch there really is only one other spot for a key forward, replacing Jack.
As a third tall forward I think Moore has severe limits on his marking, kicking and general footy smarts (ie getting to dangerous positions) unlike Balta.

I agree with that assessment Redan. Assuming Lynch comes on board, Moore's opportunities look to be very limited. Just not showing enough versatility.
Balta with his apparent ability to go forward or back, or Coleman-Jones as a second ruckman, look far more likely third tall forwards than Moore.

📰 EXCLUSIVE! 📰 Adding heat to NM’s quest to sign ANDREW GAFF, #whispers understands ESSENDON recently met w/ Gaff’s management. While it’s understood ESS can’t match the financial offers Gaff has received from NM and others, Gaff is said to be a fan of...
...Essendon’s list build. Ultimately team success will be a factor in Gaff’s decision; will the extra money be a factor, or will he chase instant success with a young and impressive Essendon?
A #whispers source close to Gaff tells us if on-field were the only consideration, ESS would be the preference. However, the signings of Polec + Hall to NM could change that...

Maybe slightly off topic here, but can anyone give an update on Kieran Collins and why he is finished up at 20 years of age?
IIRC he was highly rated in his draft year, although he slid to pick 26 and the Bulldogs, which obviously tells some sort of tale.
I haven't seen anything of him (not surprising given he only played one game) but I am just wondering what the knock on him is?
Too slow, undersized?
-
From Jon Ralph in the Herald-Sun:
TAKE IT TO THE BANK …
DYLAN SHIEL
Melbourne clubs are now certain he wants to come back to Victoria.
Cue feeding frenzy.
Carlton has the best potential offer — pick 1 and a heap of cash — Hawthorn is definitely keen but has only pick 14 as a starting point. St Kilda has pick 3 and the inclination to get aggressive.
But if you are Shiel wouldn’t you be chasing a flag if you did leave? It’s why Essendon (current first pick No. 8) might appeal.
He had been so keen to ponder future homes he had been told to concentrate on winning finals, but now that is done everything hots up.
Shiels’ exit interview will take place in the coming days.
GWS insist they aren’t trying to push him out given their salary cap crunch and can back-end deals to keep him and Rory Lobb. But if they want out, that’s a different story.
STEVEN MAY
The Collingwood players have been told May is coming.
The Suns have made clear they would hang onto the defender for a year despite the interest, even if he departed as a free agent in 2019 for a top-five compensation pick.
But these deals have a history of getting done, particularly when the Pies’ list manager — Ned Guy — is your old player manager and you remain friends.
Now seems almost certain to be in black and white next year, but what does that mean for the Pies’ bidding for next generation academy member Isaac Quaynor?
CHAD WINGARD
It’s on.
Port Adelaide has told him to go and assess his options at Melbourne clubs given he is asking for up to $1 million a year over five years, with only one season left on his deal before free agency.
To be frank, the Power don’t think his current form warrants that kind of cash.
Hawthorn have been sniffing for some time, but the Hawks will struggle to compete with the Western Bulldogs, who could throw pick 6 up for a 25-year-old dual All-Australian.
The Power, having finished 10th, are aware they need some kind of shake-up, and while they have cash (they had the second-smallest payroll this year) they won’t overpay for Wingard.
MITCH MCGOVERN
Blues rate him at pick 15-20, Adelaide rates him at 10-15, so something will get done eventually.
Could be on big money given he’s on $650,000 a year at the Crows and feels he is underpaid.
Others clubs might be sniffing but everything points to the Blues getting their man.
If they miss on a mid first-round priority pick, might have to use other picks to trade into the early teens for a 23-year-old with massive upside.
LUKE DAHLHAUS
Gets to Geelong on a four year deal worth just over $500,000.
The Dogs offered three years on less money, but Dahlhaus wanted a change and loved the on and off-field support the Cats pledged. Played 56 per cent forward/44 per cent midfield this year, but he and Gary Rohan playing mostly as pressure forwards would clearly help the Cats’ game.
DAN MENZEL
Now virtually certain to stay at Geelong on a new deal after St Kilda withdrew its pursuit of the Cats forward. The Saints need more quality in their front half, but have thrown out the Menzel plans.
PATTY MCCARTIN AND JACK BILLINGS
St Kilda has made clear through Alan Richardson it won’t be trading McCartin, contracted until the end of 2020, while Billings made clear on Monday he wasn’t interested in moving clubs despite a disappointing year.
JACK STEVEN
Steven asked the hard questions of coach Alan Richardson at his exit meeting — ie. Are we in a rebuild phase again?
He was told in no uncertain terms there was no rebuild, and so won’t leave.
After Geelong’s interest was knocked on the head another club also inquired but was also told he wasn’t going anywhere.
His manager Peter Lenton told the Herald Sun Steven would stay at St Kilda next year and honour his contract.
AARON HALL
North Melbourne will get him, it’s just a matter of when.
JARED POLEC
The Port Adelaide winger will also land at Arden St on a five-year deal worth $3.5 million.
WORK TO DO …
ANDREW GAFF
Still pondering a deal. North Melbourne still unsure either way.
DARCY MOORE
His manager, Liam Pickering, keeps saying he’s close to striking a new agreement at Collingwood.
But there wouldn’t be many surprised to see the athletic swingman land at Sydney.
Has only played seven games this year. What’s he worth?
MARCUS ADAMS
Wants a fresh start away from the Dogs given his horror luck. Not unhappy with his treatment, but feeling a change of environment might hand him better luck.
That move won’t be back to Perth, with Melbourne clubs needing key defenders already offering deals. Would that be the Saints or Hawthorn? They are the logical suitors.
RORY LOBB
His significant 2016 contract is one of the reasons for the tight GWS cap.
GWS says it can accommodate its current array of stars, but rivals still sniffing around.
Fremantle could play him forward (they have re-signed Aaron Sandilands and have Lloyd Meek and Sean Darcy as young rucks), while he would be the perfect replacement if Scott Lycett left, as expected, for Port Adelaide.
SCOTT LYCETT
Still hearing he’ll nominate Port Adelaide if, as expected, he decides to leave West Coast.
The Power have offered significant coin and a long-term contract (four or five years) and he played for the Port Adelaide Magpies as a kid.
West Coast is desperate to keep Lycett, but Jordan Roughead has been tapped as his replacement.
GARY ROHAN
Everyone on board with him potentially getting to Geelong, but they are working through how many late picks they have and need given they will use one for father-son Oscar Brownless.
Rohan is worth securing for a late pick given his speed at a club crying out for forward pressure.
ALEX FASOLO
Likely to get to Carlton on a three-year deal. Has kicked only 24 goals in 12 VFL games this year, including a single five-goal haul.
Is he better than the sixth member of the Blues forward line? Probably.
Can he and Matt Wright, waiting on a new deal, play in the same front six?
JORDAN ROUGHEAD
The restricted free agent has toured West Coast’s facilities, but remains in a holding pattern with Eagles big man Scott Lycett yet to play his hand. Roughead has also been linked with St Kilda, but that won’t be happening.
GOLD COAST
The Suns are definitely keen on George Horlin-Smith, but not Mitch Honeychurch.
The Herald Sun revealed their cap crunch last week, which means they won’t be splashing the cash on mid-tier players this off-season.
DAN HANNEBERY
Despite reported interest from Collingwood, it’s hard to see how they gatecrash the Hannebery-to-St Kilda deal.
The real issue is what price the Swans accept for him, potentially a second-round pick next year. It’s not normally enough for a player of his calibre but you suspect the Swans will accept a little less than normal given the salary dump also suits their needs.
They haven’t fought hard to keep him in any way.
JASPER PITTARD
Could stay at Port Adelaide given he has two years on his contract at reasonable money.
Has been told he could be traded, but few big takers at this stage.
JAKE LLOYD
Still unsigned, Swans still confident, but until it gets done still some doubt.
SNOWFLAKES CHANCE
STEF MARTIN
Geelong has asked the question but been knocked back. He is staying.
MITCH WALLIS
Reports that he will stay at the Dogs, but unsure exactly what that deal looks like.
LATEST ON PIES DUNN, MIHOCEK AND GOLDSACK
COLLINGWOOD fan favourite Lynden Dunn has agreed to terms for another season as the Pies continue to lock away key targets.
Full back Dunn, 31, agreed to terms with the Pies over the weekend on a one-year deal that has a guaranteed base but a modest overall deal.
He has been one of the best stories at the Pies, playing 31 games in two years but then tearing his ACL in Round 15 as he was playing exceptional football on the last line.
Collingwood has also offered Brody Mihocek a two-season deal after he made every post a winner as a key forward coming off the rookie list.
But his manager Anthony McConville said talks were still continuing on the scope of the deal for Mihocek, who has kicked 26.16 in 14 games.
“We have got an offer on the table for two years and we will work through that in due time,’’ he said.
“It’s a great opportunity for Brody to extend on his 14 games so far.”
Tyson Goldsack is in talks for another one-year deal after his remarkable recovery from an ACL rupture but McConville said there was no offer on the table yet.

I haven't seen anything of him (not surprising given he only played one game) but I am just wondering what the knock on him is?
Too slow, undersized?
The knock on Collins is he is too slow to play these days as a defender at AFL. He has also been injury-prone. Did a shoulder late 2016 which interrupted his preseason and start for the 2017 season. He then hurt his ankle leading into this season and only played 9 VFL games. To top things off Collins and a teammate were involved in a car collision a few months ago (he was okay). If he couldn't get a gig in the undersized Bulldogs defence this year then he never was.
-
But if you are Shiel wouldn’t you be chasing a flag if you did leave? It’s why Essendon (current first pick No. 8 ) might appeal.
Yeah Ralphy because when you think of flag chances this century you think Essendon :wallywink :lol.

Cory Ellis linked to Ess and GC
Conca linked to Freo
Plus Griffiths and Hampson both retired.
We could potentially have several list changes already.
Any other players beside Lynch we may be looking at?

AFL tonight last night on Fox Footy said the Suns are interested in Miles, C.Ellis and Townsend plus Geelong's Horlin-Smith.
Rumour doing the rounds that we're trying to score a second rounder off Gold Coast for both Miles & Ellis.
If we got Lynch and a second rounder for Miles, Ellis (either) and Townsend Id be over the moon!
Probably means Moore would stay, which would be important IMO.
NB. I’m aware they would be seperate deals. Lynch won’t be matched by GCS, which is why we’re offering up players for picks as a sweetener.

Which Tigers will be squeezed out by Lynch
Herald Sun
September 19, 2018 2:55pm
TOM Lynch is set to join Richmond, and he won’t come cheap.
But the Tigers could survive the coming trade wars with minimal damage, according to Jon Ralph.
The Herald Sun trade expert says Anthony Miles and Corey Ellis are both likely to play for Gold Coast next season, and the Suns are also interested in the uncontracted Jacob Townsend.

BREAKING - I have been informed Roughead will be departing the hawks. This comes after frank discussions at the exit meetings. Gold Coast favourites at this stage.

St Kilda reportedly no longer interested in Geelong's Daniel Menzel.
North Melbourne meet with out-of-contract Swan defender Nic Newman.

So there's talk of:
Miles going to GC
Lloyd possibly off to Dogs
Cory Ellis linked to Ess and GC
Conca linked to Freo
Plus Griffiths and Hampson both retired.
We could potentially have several list changes already.
Any other players beside Lynch we may be looking at?
You wouldn't think so unless they come cheap. A spare ruckman would be handy but not sure where we'll find one.
I think we'll target the draft this year to keep a stream of youth coming into the Club and our playing list. That would fit in with the rumour of the Club looking to prise the Suns' early second rounder for Miles & Ellis/Townsend. It would then give us 3 picks in the top 40.

I don't think the Hawks have even had their exit meetings yet as the VFL side is still playing..... :lol
This guys track record is very poor too.

why are they called exit meetings when only a few players are actually exiting ?

Melbourne has met with Gold Coast captain Steven May as he continues to ponder his future, according to The Age.
The report also states Essendon have shown their interest in the key defender.
https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/09/20/report-demons-have-met-with-steven-may/
St Kilda ruckman Tom Hickey has being reportedly lined up by West Coast after undertaking medical tests.
According to AFL.com.au's Mitch Cleary, Hickey has been offered a multi-year deal by the Eagles as Scott Lycett’s departure looms.

An alternative is to find a diamond in the rough state league player who can make the jump up to the highest level. We've had success in that area in the recent past with Lambert & Broad.
Plough's top 10 state level players:
Mitch Grigg (Norwood/SANFL)
Shane McAdam (Sturt/SANFL)
Josh Clayton (Southport/NEAFL)
Michael Gibbons (Williamstown/VFL)
Ryan Gilmore (Townsville/Gold Coast Academy)
Josh Corbett (Werribee/VFL)
Sam Sturt (Peninsula Grammar/Victoria)
Jye Bolton (Claremont/WAFL)
Jordan Morrissey (County Carlow/Ireland)
Will Hayes (Footscary/VFL)

Jye Bolton is as tough as, but might be a little slow for AFL.
-
The Cats are increasingly likely to lose homesick star Tim Kelly only 12 months after drafting him.
He wants to return to Perth to be closer to his family with Fremantle and West Coast both keen to sign him.
Kelly’s preference is to join the Eagles, who will receive a first-round compensation selection for free agent Andrew Gaff if he joins North Melbourne.

Serious question and hopefully will get some serious responses
What are peoples thoughts on Alex Johnston ex Swan of the 6 knee recos. Latest knee reco was on his good knee
Rookie spot? I would take the risk myself can see some upside having this bloke at our club, leadership wise. Could teach some of our kids a few things about life and footy

Bit of a luxury I reckon. Understand the mentoring bit, but would look to offer him role at the club that doesn't involve being on our playing list if, we think he is worht givinga role to.

machine i think there are a few opportunities that just opened up for Stengle and Bolton. Castagna is one who is on the ropes for sure.

Agree with George being on the ropes. I would trade him out and not look back. I believe Bolton will be staying and the Club is looking at Jake Aarts as a rookie selection from our VFL squad. Stengle most likely will leave so wrap this up with Couch.

We already have Drummond taking up a spot on the list. Could we lose two spots on two long term multiple knee injuries? Do we delist Drummond and pick up Johnson? How does that go with teaching the kids about life and footy?

Wait until a decision has been made public. I would sign him for another year or 2 and play him as a mid resting forward. We need extra grunt and he won the VFL best player playing this role.

I’d also like to see Towner put the miles into his legs over this upcoming pre season and help Jack Graham tag opposition midfielders.
We can never again allow guys like Steele Sidebottom get 41 touches at 85% in a final ever again.

Graham needs to be released from his tagging duties to valuable for that job.When Dimma did that was very valuable going forward and also kicking goals we need his inside grunt.Need someone else to do the tagging.We a loosing to much with his low numbers doing defencesive jobs.

Thats where i thought maybe Towno may have been worth a shot, isnt going to get many possessions so you dont lose much. Graham on the other hand has shown he can be an accumulator and can add something to our midfield if released.
-
Actually don’t think Graham’s offensive midfield work is there yet. Has obviously shown he can go forward and kick goals but doesn’t get high volumes of the ball running through the middle. He is still very young though and hopefully he does get there because his defensive work is elite.
-
I think Graham’s offensive side will come naturally and is just being coached and instructed more defensively while in his more formative years. He’s the kind of player we won’t know until he hits the 75 or so games mark.
-
Graham will be a very good player but there was no greater indictment on our lack of midfiekd depth than the fact that we were prepared to play him with a bung shoulder.... :shh

Huge NO to Scully??????????
WTF? Why?
Personal opinion
Don't rate him that highly. His kicking is suspect under pressure, have never understood how he gets labelled an elite kick. Defensive side of his game have concerns
And I doubt we could afford him and his father anyway. Went to the Giants chasing mega $$$$, question whether much has changed ;D
Just not a fan

It's just fantasy to even think about it anyway but Scully is elite.

I guess not, but more than most players (wanting to play for their childhood team) he was desperate to get to Richmond at the time. I know that straight from the horses mouth ;)

Heard the same thing about Fyfe and a slew of other players
Means crap if they're supporters

Finlayson from GWS has been told to explore his options despite signing an extension back in June.
An athletic defender 196 cm and 93 kg 22 years old.
We could do worse than trading a 3rd round pick for him.

The funny thing about Fyfe is that while he was a Tigers supporter as a kid, indeed the family are, Fyfe hated Fremantle!

Oh well can't worry about it now just have to make sure what we do draft is going to take us forward
-
i hate it when morons do the 'we coulda had him' with dudes like Fyfe. Guy was overlooked 18 times or so before being taken. Even Hawthorn took Roughead over Franklin initially and got lucky he fell to 5th... :shh
Conca over Heppel is the one that hurts.

Oakley-Nicholls over Shaun Higgins, Shannon Hurn or Nathan Jones

Don’t give Melbourne any credit, Id take 10 Oakley Nicholls and not be a pathetic excuse for a professional sporting organising that needed the AFL to intervene and babysit the club (that had previously agreed and voted itself out of existence).

They get pick 3. I personally think that any trade of players is separate to getting Lynch via FA. The trading of other players is to our advantage, either moving on list cloggers, creating cap space, and/or appeasing the AFL.

another crap story from the tweeter files of AFL Trade, us Richmond supporters already know miles is on his way out and c ellis very old news package them up and we may get a late 2nd round pick for the both which I think we will be more then happy with

Happy for the media narrative to be we needed to move them on for very little when we all know its to our advantage to move these types on and replace with a B.Crouch type and draft picks.

I’m sure he’ll take a cut but I couldn’t see us offering more than 500k.

I thought it was a 7 year deal from memory. CBF looking it up, but that was my original point. If you were getting paid around a million a year, would you be happy to change clubs and relocate for half as much?

How does everyone feel about scully? I’m a fan and would definitely be an upgrade on our current wingman but is he the midfield type we need more than a inside contested clearance player?
Also hesitant to give up many draft picks, Looks like most of our senior vfl boys will be off so essentially our reserve midfielders will be gone. We really need to focus on restocking our next generation of mids through the draft.

I'm inclined to agree - whilst the prospect of Scully delivering it lace out to Riewoldt & Lynch is certainly mouth watering we need to actually win it & get it out to him first.....would also hope next year's first rounder would be the starting point....we might have to settle for a Tyson or even Libba as our inside targets if we get Scully.....definitely would only give up a second round pick at the most or someone like Menadue for either of them.... :shh

Would love to hear the commentators telling us what a running machine he is 30 times a game too.

If Scully is at his gut running best he would be an amazing asset. Good clean disposal also and his absence from GWS really took them out of top 4 contention. He also barracked for Richmond as a junior as well right?

No to Liber to many offield incidents and injuries for me can play tho.
-
His old man is going to be welcomed around the club if that happened lol.
As for a trade: a straight Lloyd-Libba jnr swap?
-
Ewww to Libba. Can play, but doesn't he have a few... issues currently?
Scully would be awesome but I don't believe it. Would prefer to get an equally talented inside midfielder though if I had the choice.
-
I don't get some of you
Lynch & Scully into the club is the stuff dreams are made of...:shh
Had we done the job this year and gone back to back...these boys would have confirmed a future 5-peat...:shh :shh

5-peat still on, '17 non-peat was just our early bird surprise entrée flag announcing our arrival & intent....sorta like Hawthorn in '08......:shh...............:shh :shh :shh :shh :shh.....

I’m not overly excited about Scully either. Just never been that much of a fan. Good player, not great sums him up IMO.
Prefer to target SPP. With the right mentoring he could be anything I reckon.
I’d also like Mitch Grigg, I said that on here a while back when he was struggling to get a game at Adelaide.
-
Whoever we might get in this year in addition to Lynch (and I am not sure we will go for another name player) is going to be on a minimum contract.
I think we are clearing space at the moment for another recruiting coup next season. Cerra's name keeps popping up on here, and I have it from a good Freo sourcethat they are resignedto losing him next year. Whether that is to us or someone else remains to be seen.

If that's the case we should load up for Cerra next year.
-
I see that they are saying on the AFL website that Aaron Hall will move to North for a 4th round pick.
Haven't followed Hall this season, but that sounds like a great deal for North.
-
If they give us 2x2nd rounders for Cellis and Miles and only want a 4th rounder for hall then you have to seriously question the person running the show there.
Think it was Barrett today on trade radio who said they have a very tight salary cap even without lynch. Whatever that club is doing is bizarre.
-
Melbourne are looking to off load Dom Tyson, any interest here still?
Could get pretty cheap, would certainly be an upgrade on Conca lol
-
I'd give up a second round pick for him....shytehouse kick but genuine contested ball winner and clearance player, good tackler, can take a mark.....been playing more on the outside this year which just doesn't suit him at all...reminds me a bit of a slighly more talented Shane Tuck ....:shh

Richmond Tigers news, players and trade rumours

Out:
Anthony Miles (Gold Coast)
Corey Ellis (Gold Coast)
Tyson Stengle (Adelaide)
Reece Conca (Fremantle)
Sam Lloyd (Western Bulldogs)
Jacob Townsend (St Kilda)
In:
Tom Lynch (Gold Coast)
Brad Crouch (Adelaide)
Jack Scrimshaw (Gold Coast)
What we’re hearing:
It was all about Tom Lynch for Richmond this year and the job’s done, barring the crossing of Ts and dotting of Is. However, a couple more opportunities may arise. Jack Scrimshaw’s homesickness might return better value for Corey Ellis and Anthony Miles than mediocre trade picks, and Brad Crouch could be very interesting. As mentioned above, the Crows say they know nothing, the Tigers say they know nothing, yet they admit they've talked about Crouch ... hey, it's trade time!

I really think T Lynch is a big enough fish for this year.
I would be banking 2nd & 3 round picks and try and have 5-6 picks under 50 in a strong draft.
All this talk of Scully, Crouch etc whilst fun really is just pie in the sky stuff and probably not for us. In my opinion.

If we are looking for some value pickups with the potential to contribute immediately, I hope we look at Declan Mountford who has just been released by North.
Great gut runner with reasonable skills.
I’d look to rookie him if available.

PORT Adelaide has officially lodged paperwork to secure West Coast premiership ruckman Scott Lycett on a five-year, $3million deal.
After touring the Alberton facilities and undergoing a medical assessment on Thursday, the restricted free agent has opted to return to his junior club to partner Paddy Ryder in the ruck.
The Eagles now have until 1pm AEDT Tuesday to decide whether to match the deal, which would force the Power into a trade.
Should the Eagles choose to accept compensation, they are expected to receive an end-of-first-round pick.

YOU'RE THE LIST MANAGER - RICHMOND
afl.com.au
6 October 2018
'Be brutal'
All. Guns. Blazing. Get as many quality players as possible, get rid of as much dead wood as possible, and aim for as many flags that we can get. Clear some of the small forwards out as there is excess, and use that cap space on big names, whether it be Tom Lynch, Brad Crouch, Tom Scully or whoever. Make our best 22 as good as possible.
- Leo Rosman, Ringwood
'Extra depth required'
We need a ruckman to help out Toby Nankervis, so looking for another ruckman can be key to ease the work load on him. Richmond should look for another onball bull to trade for such as Jacob Hopper or Sam Powell-Pepper to help with centre clearances.
- Zac Foulds, Mentone
'Start preparing for ageing stars'
Look for any obvious weakness in the current list, and where we can trade current players for big gains. Richmond has more midfielders than it can play in any one game, so trading a few of its fringe players for youth to replace ageing key position players in the future (Jack Riewoldt and Alex Rance, for example) as well as runners like Shaun Grigg and Bachar Houli. Brandon and Corey Ellis, Anthony Miles and Sam Lloyd could bring value, as would Jacob Townsend if Richmond gets Tom Lynch as seems likely. They may even look at offloading a small forward, or developing one for a move to the midfield.
- Troy Watson, Ipswich
DREAM TRADES
Brad Crouch for Tyson Stengle and a second-round pick.

Will Brodie from Gold Coast in exchange for Miles, Ellis and a second-round draft pick.

Herald-Sun's Trade period guide
Michael Warner
7 Oct 2018
Gold Coast
Tigers VFL pair Anthony Miles and Corey Ellis will join the club for a swap of late picks.
Western Bulldogs
Sam Lloyd has cleaned out his Punt Rd locker and is on the way in exchange for a late draft selection.
RICHMOND
GONE:
Shaun Hampson (retired); Ben Griffiths (delisted) is pursuing an NFL punting career.
IN PLAY:
A host of Punt Rd fringe players are on the move. Reece Conca is off to Fremantle on a three-year deal as an unrestricted free agent, Corey Ellis and Anthony Miles will be traded to the Gold Coast, Sam Lloyd is joining the Western Bulldogs and two-gamer Tyson Stengle is heading home to Adelaide. Premiership hard-nut Jacob Townsend is weighing up his options but could stay, while talented rookie forward Callum Moore will be upgraded. Nathan Drummond, cruelled by two knee reconstructions, is yet to be offered a contract.
TARGETS:
It’s likely the Tigers will only bring in one player during the trade and free agency frenzy, but he’s a biggie — Gold Coast co-captain Tom Lynch. The Suns have until Monday to match Richmond’s offer but will surely accept pick No. 3 as compensation. Adelaide’s Brad Crouch was never an option.

AFL trade news 2018: All the latest news and rumours on every player and club
The Rover
Sporting News
7 Oct 2018
Richmond Tigers
Out:
Anthony Miles (Gold Coast)
Corey Ellis (Gold Coast)
Tyson Stengle (Adelaide)
Sam Lloyd (Western Bulldogs)
Jacob Townsend (St Kilda)
In:
Tom Lynch (Gold Coast)
Brad Crouch (Adelaide)
Jack Scrimshaw (Gold Coast)
Completed:
Out - Reece Conca (Fremantle)
In - End of second round compensation pick
What we’re hearing:
Reece Conca has gone to Fremantle as a free agent and Tom Lynch will be coming in after the Suns decide to accept the compensation pick - some would call that a win-win situation. It would be reasonable to expect the Tigers to sit back and have a quiet couple of weeks now, but with a need to move some fringe players on for salary cap reasons they'll actually be fairly active around the periphery. Miles and Corey Ellis are going to the Gold Coast and will bring a little bit back, possibly Jack Scrimshaw, and Tyson Stengle is heading home to Adelaide. Chances are the Crows will actually give back something of value which, for a rookie who's managed two games in two years, will automatically be paying overs. Adelaide won't be paying with Brad Crouch, but I can't help but watch this space to see if the prolific-but-injury-prone midfielder may be heading to Punt Road.

The Powell-Pepper rumour is true. I have very good intel that we flew over to Adelaide to talk to his manager about him. I assume that was to see how much he'd cost and if Port were willing to field offers. I haven't heard anything more than that.

You been out mendin' Arden St fences for so long now
Oh, you're a tryhard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow
Don't you chase the king of diamonds, Norf
He'll reject you if he's able
You know that joker Brad Scott is all you can bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, your list ain't gettin' any younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is sitting in an empty stadium all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open that Tassie gate
It may be rainin', but there's no rainbow above you
You better let somebody relocate you (let somebody relocate you)
You better let somebody relocate you before it's too late

Payout fees outside the salary cap due to the drugs saga.
Allowed top up players before they draft them due to the drugs saga.
Got a number one draft pick for their trouble due to the drugs saga.
But Bomber supporters still try to play the hard done by victim :nopity.

Right on cue, Robbo claiming Essendon now has a "formidable list". Didn't he say the same thing this time last year after they got Stringer, Smith and Saad? :wallywink
What's interesting is what will this cost the Bombers. They traded their first rounder away last year. If they are forced to trade their first rounder this year plus next year's as some are saying for Shiel then missing out on the high end of the draft for a number of years running is going to hurt them down the line.

I think Collingwood and to a larger extent Carlton and Essendon are under the pump. After what RFC achieved they have fallen behind
in terms of membership and other criteria and they are trying to catch up.

I agree, especially as it relates to Essendon. Carlton are now paupers and largely irrelevant. Collingwood dining out on beating us, which was effectively their flag.

Collingwood defender Tom Langdon’s future hangs in the balance 10 days after he played a starring role in his club’s heartbreaking Grand Final defeat. Langdon, who is out of contract and has had an offer from the Magpies on the table since last Tuesday, was spotted in Sydney today and it is believed he's toured the club’s facilities as he considers a move.

North Melbourne are poised to secure Melbourne midfielder Dom Tyson after the player and the Demons agreed he would explore his options in this trade period. Tyson is understood to have indicated he is interested in a move to Arden Street.
The inside midfielder had also been considering an approach from Gold Coast but it is understood he would prefer to remain in Melbourne.
Tyson could shape as a straight swap for Kangaroos ruckman Braydon Preuss, who has asked to be traded to Melbourne.
Tyson, who is contracted at Melbourne for next year on about $500,000, played 17 games this year but was being squeezed for midfield time at the Demons.

Tom Scully’s future at the Giants remains slightly clouded as he is understood to be open to the idea of moving back to Victoria if it were also to suit the Giants and despite him still being contracted. With Shiel and Robb leaving, the Giants will have less salary-cap pressure and therefore less imperative to trade Scully.
West Coast believe their first two picks - 20 and 22 - are a fair exchange for Tim Kelly but they might have to bundle those picks in a trade to move up the draft order as the Cats endeavour to gain a high selection.
Swan Gary Rohan looks set to join the Cats from Sydney on Wednesday in exchange for a low draft pick.
Gold Coast are in discussions with Hawthorn about a trade for left-foot defender Jack Scrimshaw.

Play hardball on Lloyd for pick 25, give them back a late pick. Then we're done and we can all stop listening to the dribble on trade radio.

Basil Zempilas on Ch 7 News in Perth is claiming Fremantle has missed out on Jesse Hogan and he will remain at Melbourne.

Mitch McGovern will get to Carlton tomorrow [Wednesday].
The Swans will swap their first round pick 13 in exchange for both of Carlton's second round picks 26 & 28.
Carlton will then send pick 13 along with their state league rights (for Sturt's Shane McAdam) to Adelaide for McGovern. There may be a third round pick from the Crows going back the other way as well.
The Swans are happy to do this as the draft points from the two second rounders will cover any bids that come for their father-son Nick Blakey. They would've been forced to use their first rounder on him anyway and may have also had to chuck in later picks to cover the points. So this way works better for them.
The only issue for Carlton is how they now obtain Will Setterfield. It possibly depends on the Giants accepting a future second round pick.

Yeah we are all done until we get shown up in clearances again in a cut throat final
We are one mid short going into next year as grigg types are cooked and we had a good run injury wise which may not happen again.

Hypothetically, if you were tasked with putting together a deal that would see Scully end up at the tigers what would be your offer?

Would need to be first pick, this year or ideally next year. Giants are asking for picks presumably to rebuild in a strong draft

Were not getting Tom Scully or anyone else for that matter. Only thing to happen now is players traded out or delisted due to cap space. Maybe some pick swaps.

Hope I'm wrong as would love Tom Scully but wouldn't be giving a first rounder for him. Think we would do it for a 2nd rounder if they were desperate to clear cap space and had to.
However when they reported Harley Bennel being given the flick from Freo I gave up on Trade Radio. It's complete drivel. Rather just get the deals as they happen via twitter.
In terms of what to do for the next week, read a book, write a novel, re-engage with family. Whatever floats your boat.....

As excited as I am about Lynch I’m still concerned about our midfield. To be fair we only lost 4 H&A games and had a stinker in the prelim, but we can’t just expect to go one better again while getting smashed in contested footy and clearances. Essendon lacked inside so they’ve gone for Shiel, North desperately needed outside so they’ve gone Polec and Pittard. Lynch is a huge get but I’m not confident we’ve done enough to address an Achilles heel. Surely there is an early-mid 20 year old fringe inside midfielder on an AFL list we could try for cheap. Otherwise I hope we’ve lined up a draft pick or two for the best inside mids in a state league that could have an immediate impact.

Is Tom Bell or Nathan Freeman worth a rookie pick? :outtahere

tbh Dwaino, Im not as concerned regarding our Contested and clearance numbers. A lot of those were skewed due to the differential in free kicks. In centre clearances and actual ground ball numbers(real contested possession numbers) I believe we were top 3-4 in both categories.
Like you, I'd still prefer another inside bull, but its not a dire weakness

Totally agree with this! Our midfield is slow and don’t run hard either way! I CANT believe that Hardwick says “contested ball” and all year got smashed there and in Clearances.
Need a hard running, bull! Dusty doesn’t run hard back as he is completely offensive.
I wonder if Prestia can get more out of himself and have an uninterrupted season or seasons?
Is Graham going to be this hard running bull we hoped for despite poor disposal averages?
Edwards is 31 and his finals IMO was very poor! he isn’t going to get better.
Caddy not quick enough for the midfield and needs to play as a big bodied HF!

Heard that one just before. Hope it’s true, but I would expect Scully has toured a number of clubs, and have heard him strongly linked to Hawthorn as well.
Plenty of time for this to play out.
-
We paid Deledios salary or abou 75% of it in his first year at the giants apparently. Maybe the Giants are happy to reciprocate the deal if we are happy to take salary long term. I expect Houli and Grigg to finish at the end of next year that should be about $750,000 in savings
so if the Giants are happy to pay for 2019 we could take Scully.

Tom Browne Says Rumours Linking Tom Scully To Richmond Are “Complete Chatter”
#MMMTradeTracker
Rudi Edsall
Hot Breakfast footy reporter Tom Browne says that rumours linking Tom Scully to Richmond are baseless.
Browne said that the club has flatly denied any links and that the Tigers’ salary cap is full.

Speaking of the BF Richmond board's guru.....here's brief a summary of his latest sermon from the podcast:
- Tom Scully 100% was at the club yesterday, believed to have been there for a medical.
- Connor Blakely from Freo of interest, as is a young mid from Bulldogs
- Brandon Ellis has been shopped around, but not a lot of interest
- Townsend wants to stay, club yet to commit to him
The only thing that really rings true is that no-one wants BEllis....:shh

But he's wrong. The Suns have been in contact with Brandon's manager but he's staying put in 2019 :shh

Correction - no-one good or importantant wanted him.... :shh

Jee Tom Browne talks some serious shyte.
Reckons our cap is cooked but claims that Langdon, Kirby (ex Richmond) and Fasolo contracts would be worth more than 750k - what they need to bring in Beams.

Seriously, Langdon (200 maybe?) Fasolo 350? So Kayle Kirby was on 250?
Come off it....

Kirby was a rookie? $60k plus match payments but he didn't play much :shh

Not sure how they think our cap is cooked, we had two players on list who didnt play seniors and they were on decent coin.
What do you reckon these blokes are on:
Hampson:
Griffiths:
Conca:
Miles:
CEllis:
Stengle: junior burger (next to nothing I'd guess)
-
I would guess
What do you reckon these blokes are on:
Hampson: 300k

Conca: 300 - 350k
Miles: 200ish
CEllis: 150 - 200
Stengle: junior burger (next to nothing I'd guess)
So conservatively there is well over 1 mill, which is Lynch's income X2 (for the next few seasons)
-
Apparently Lynch is on $500k for the first 3 years in a back ended deal
-
Did Yarran’s contract end last season or this year?

I agree they'd be around that mark
Not sure what our other players are on but reckon we should've made a hard call on at least one of the older players on our list, to free up cap space.
We won the flag in 2017 and had a good year this year but if you want to be elite you have to make the hard calls like Hawthorn do.

Anyone thinking we should be making a play for liba? After the past few years don’t think he would command a large salary or have major currency in a trade - maybe something like lloyd + 2018 2nd round draft pick will get it done.
I know his off field behaviour has been well documented and his past few seasons have been average and injury plagued but given he’s 26 would anyone take the chance? Seems like just the inside mid we need - clearances, contested possessions and tackles. If we could get him back to his 2013-14 levels then we would be laughing.

I personally don't see it happening, however it doesn't mean It's not worth asking the question.
I just feel the premiership player, son of a club champion etc would still give them reason enough to think they can straighten him out and get him playing good footy.

Nothing to do with Scully though.

Why Scully wants out of Giants
JON RALPH
Herald-Sun
12 Oct 2018 12:30pm
TOM Scully’s determination to move back to Melbourne is based on family circumstances rather than the GWS salary cap position.
As revealed by the Herald Sun today, Scully met with Hawthorn this week despite his management’s persistent denials over past weeks about a potential move.
The Giants have cleared as much as $2 million of cap space with trades that will go through for Dylan Shiel, Rory Lobb and Will Setterfield.
Scully is on around half of the $1 million pay cheque per season that he received when he arrived at the Giants as a marquee signing.
But Scully’s likely move is a huge setback for coach Leon Cameron, who rates him the hardest-running player he has seen in football.
It is understood he has circumstances regarding his family in Melbourne that mean he believes it is a priority for him to return after seven years at the Giants.
He is yet to officially declare he will leave or pick a club or choice but he has made it clear he is considering whether to leave.
Scully left seven years ago in a hail of controversy, with Melbourne fans furious that he left after being the No.1 overall selection in the draft two years before.
Hawthorn is not the only Melbourne-based club chasing his services, but a link to Richmond has been ruled out despite speculation.
Ironically, he would be a perfect fit at Melbourne given their need for outside run and players who can run deep into defence, but they are seen to have other priorities.
Despite a season-ending syndesmosis injury this year he had played every game in the previous two years, kicking 23 and 15 goals and averaging 570 disposals.

Interested in 2 teams closer to a premiership........i like the sound of that :whistle
-
Did the Blues get a bargain with the Setterfield trade?
Seems like a pretty cheap price for a promising, albeit oft injured, young midfielder.

Yep, absolutely robbed them.
What I don’t get is why GWS players keep nominating Carlton - it’s where talented youngsters go to die (well, their careers anyway).
-
Ch 7's Tom Browne is saying on Twitter that Scully has passed his medical with the Hawks and he will end up there for a late pick :pray :clapping
Struth GWS salary cap squeeze is unbelievable
twitter also sprouting that Freo no longer chasing Jesse Hogan

Just announced by the club.
Well done Freo. Called Melbourne's bluff.
Watch Hogan end up there for pick 11.

2nd round draft pick next year will still be top 20 considering its carlton :snidegrin
dont know what else you could ask for a player thats played only 2 afl games.
-
will be a disappointing trade period if we dont add anymore.....
-
If Hawks get Scully for not much I'll be pretty disappointed.
-
Don’t think it’s as cut and dry as that with Scully, if it was only hawthorn there would be an announcement from both clubs like with Shiel, setterfield, wingard, Neale, etc.
St Kilda also let slip that there’s another club in the running closer to a premiership than them which doesn’t really narrow it down given how bad the saints were this year.....
#inbalmewetrust.

It won’t be for nothing mate it will be for big $$$
I wouldn’t mind Scully, but like some have suggested, he seems to go to the highest bidddr which hawks will be given the cap space they have
If that’s case tata
-
I don’t see how we can fit any more players in, we’ve still got draftees to go which will still have a minimum wage. Unless we trade somebody out I don’t believe any rumour about any player coming here. If any pick any later than Hawk’s first round gets Scully across the line then I wonder how much of his contract the Giants are paying.
-

Agree, although I think we probably could squeeze in another player if we wanted to.
Gut feel is we are keeping our powder dry for next year.
-
Scully seems like a bit of a risk to me with his recent injury history.
A fit Scully would be a great get, but do we need to take this risk at this time?
-
It's understood other clubs tried to contact Scully's manager Mark Kleiman on Friday but their calls went unanswered.
Concerns over Scully's broken ankle dissuaded some Victorian clubs from pursuing Scully and should ensure Hawthorn won't have to part with anything more than its second-round pick, No.35 overall, to secure the midfielder, who was contracted at GWS for another three years.

With the new ruck rules we may need a backup ruck
Smith might fill a gap for a years or two, AFL level rucks are hard to find

New rule may require a back up ruckman
I would back our coaches to get Smith up and RUNNING

He reminds me of Ben Griffiths. Ticks all the boxes physically, athletically and skills wise, but has little intensity and lacks competitiveness.

Should be looking at Zac Clarke for a rookie position if we’re just after a backup.

Smith's a docile dud, rather just back Chol in...... :shh

Trade Period: Your club's state of play
Sarah Black
afl.com.au
Oct 13, 2018
RICHMOND
Trade and free agency ins: Tom Lynch, future third-round selection (Gold Coast)
Trade and free agency outs: Reece Conca, Corey Ellis, Anthony Miles, future third-round selection
Still in play: After months of speculation, Richmond landed former Gold Coast key forward Tom Lynch, its main target during the trade period. Out-of-contract Sam Lloyd has yet to officially cross to the Western Bulldogs, despite manager Robbie D'Orazio telling NAB AFL Trade Radio last Tuesday the talented forward will be at the Kennel next year. Premiership forward Jacob Townsend is still out of contract but Neil Balme told SEN the Tigers "wouldn’t be unhappy to keep him". Rookie small forward Tyson Stengle has continued to be linked to a move back home to Adelaide.
Picks (as at Friday, October 12): 17, 37, 74, 92

important we keep lloyd townsend and stengle now....
-
Rightly or wrongly I still have a feeling we are up to something. Scully did visit Punt Road on Tuesday. If we are not looking at anyone because there is zero cap space then why invite him at all? Why did Dimma and some senior players take Dylan Shiel out after the Brownlow?
My feeling is we are looking at an opportunity to arise to strike. I might be wrong but there are too many sneaky signs to ignore. Even if nothing happens, I am happy to take our picks to the draft.
Anyway, we have till Wednesday afternoon to find out.

This to me is how I see our trading so far. In all the evaluation of the the Lych in has not really addressed that we also lost the compensation pick for Conca. Love getting Lynch but overall we have given up three players for a upgrade of a third round pick next year. Not exactly playing hard ball are we.
Hope we have more plans.

I tend to agree.
I almost think the media have Scully as a cert to Hawthorn because they came out and said "no chance to the tigers"when the rumours started. No doubt the narrative will be "last minute shock/twist" if he does come to us.

If anything did happen it would be something totally unexpected and out there due to a club being so desperate on the last day. For example, how desperate are Adelaide for a top 5 pick to gain access to a home grown SA U18 star such as Rankine and could we get in on the action to make it happen?
Adelaide: picks 8, 13 & Brad Crouch ---> picks 5 (Rankine?), 17 & Stengle
Brisbane - pick 5, (future?) 3rd round ----> picks 8, 13 & Townsend
Richmond - pick 17, Stengle, Townsend ----> Brad Crouch, Brisbane's (future?) 3rd round.
-
Conc miles and cellis must have cleared up some salary space??
-
cannot go into next year with all that experience out the door not replaced by at least one new signing.... surely they've got something going on behind the scenes.....
-

-
We have obviously put all our eggs in the Tom Lynch basket. You have got to be happy with that but it does look as if it will cost us any ability to bring in other senior players like Scully, Crouch or even cheap back up options like Roughhead.
I still believe we gave Corey Ellis away too cheaply.
-
Going on the past, we will be topping up vfl with super vfl and interstate sub afl performers and offer them the lure of playing afl if they perform...

It's part of the hidden battle happening during this year's trade period as clubs separate into those wanting high picks to do deals during trade period or access the best talent in the draft, versus those who are happy to head to the draft with later picks confident top talent will head their way via the father-son and academy bidding process.
13 clubs likely to draft father-son or next generation academy picks in November, with at least seven having to be as focused on having the right amount of points available for the draft as trades they are doing right now.
It's why the player-for-player swap has become an anachronism, with picks generally thrown into such a mix.

I have been a fan of Stengle since he arrived at Punt Rd but as you know it takes more than just talent to make it at AFL level.
All 3 of our smalls are ahead of Stengle at this stage- even more so when they all play together.
We seem to have a lot of a similar type of player at the moment and IMO can afford to trade at least one out, and if Stengle wants to go fair enough but as long as we get something decent in return. Adelaide should be paying for his potential not his 2 AFL games to date.
A pick around 40 is about right IMO.
-
18 or 19 is an age that a player can improve 10 fold
We will regret losing Stengle

We're not delisting him guys - he's being poached by the crows. Big difference.

Everyone is acting like Stengle is one of our best 10 players :lol
He’s was drafted as a rookie, has had two years on the list and has played 2 games.
He cost us stuff all to draft and stuff all to keep, any pick From round 4 or lower is a win for us.
Unfortunately he’s just a casualty of our success, any other Richmond’s nd era he’s probably playing regular football and may already have reached whipping boy standards :lol

Players still to be traded in the final three days
Herald-Sun
15 oct 2018
LOCK IT IN
DYLAN SHIEL (GWS)
GWS wants two first-rounders, the Dons are proposing a first-rounder (this year’s pick No.9) and a third-rounder. Like most deals of this nature, surely nine and next year’s second-rounder is about right. If trade negotiations fell over Carlton would be a certainty to swoop, but there is enough goodwill that it is extremely unlikely to see it happening.
CHAD WINGARD (Port Adelaide)
Expect him to get to Waverley where Alastair Clarkson will try and unlock Wingard’s enormous potential in the forward half. Hawks probably have to concede pick No.15 and South Australian Ryan Burton to get deal done. Burton had a down year after finishing second in Rising Star last year.
TOM SCULLY (GWS)
Amazingly he should get to Hawthorn in exchange for pick No.53. Scully had an outstanding 2017 but suffered an horrific ankle injury that has dealt a huge blow to his trade worth. The Giants need his money off the books too. Unclear when he will play footy again.
AARON HALL (Gold Coast)
The speedy midfielder will be traded to the Kangaroos for a later pick in the 2019 draft because the Suns already have five picks inside 29 and won’t take later selections. A trade where the Roos give up very little for a player with real talent but rough edges.
JACK SCRIMSHAW (Gold Coast)
Off to the Hawks as their latest reformation project after two underwhelming years at the Gold Coast as their No.7 selection in the 2016 draft. Will be traded for a 2019 pick as the Suns strengthen their draft hand for next year as well as the 2018 draft, where they hold picks No.2, 3, 19, 24 and 29
KADE KOLODJASHNIJ (Gold Coast)
A former No.5 draft pick with neck and concussion issues, he will get to the Demons for a 2019 pick. Diminishing returns since his excellent 2015 season, but worth the punt.
RORY LOBB (GWS)
Hard not to see this one getting done, but not yet apparent exactly what pick for. Dockers have pick No.11 but are offering it to Geelong for Tim Kelly and Melbourne (plus a future pick) for Jesse Hogan. Also has No.23 and No.30, so plenty of time before Wednesday 8.30pm.
GEORGE HORLIN-SMITH (Geelong)
A certainty to get to the Suns for a late pick, with the Suns having No.59 and No.80 which they aren’t using anyway.
JORDAN ROUGHEAD (Bulldogs)
After missing out on May, Collingwood set its sights on Roughead to bolster the backline and provide some ruck depth. Magpies will get him cheap with late pick swap or as delisted free agent.
TOM LANGDON (Collingwood)
The Pies defender who hauled in 16 intercept marks in September has committed to the Pies on a two-year deal, knocking back a four-year deal at Sydney reportedly worth more than $2 million. With Darcy Moore and Langdon signed up, the Pies don’t have the picks for Steven May, surely.
UP FOR GRABS
LACHIE NEALE (Fremantle)
The Dockers publicly say Neale isn’t leaving - Freo chief executive Steve Rosich told Lions chief executive Greg Swann that in Grand Final week - but privately state the price as pick No.5 and a mid-first-round pick. The Lions won’t budge on their offer of five, Freo says it is happy to keep him. Meanwhile Neale is growing ever more furious, and while there is no prospect of him sitting out 2019, do Fremantle want a player who doesn’t want to be there and who will leave as a free agent next year?
TIM KELLY (Geelong)
Only wants to go to West Coast despite Freo’s offer of pick No.11, a reality coloured by the Eagles’ five-year deal on up to $3 million. West Coast has picks No.20 and No.22 (in points value worth exactly pick No.6) but not yet the pick swap to get a selection within the top 10. Still, seems there is enough goodwill to get it done.
RYAN BURTON (Hawthorn)
Looks set to move to Port to clinch Chad Wingard’s move to Waverley. Burton is miffed with Hawthorn’s approach but we have always admired the club’s boldness this time of year. Hawthorn wanted to give pick No.15 only for Wingard but Port demanding Burton as well.
DANIEL MENZEL (Geelong)
As a free agent can now be traded, sign with the Cats or leave as a delisted free agent from November 1. If the Cats sign him - and it’s a big if - you would expect it would be another one-year deal on so-so money.
JAKE KELLY (Adelaide)
The Pies were interested in securing the father-son they once overlooked after 43 games in the past two years, but it is not yet apparent how the weekend signature of Tom Langdon affects that interest. His brother Will is a top-30 father-son pick but will need some time.
TOM LIBERATORE (Bulldogs)
Still unsigned at the kennel, leaving door wide open for a rival to swoop. But no one banging the door down yet. Probably stays on one-year extension.
LUKE DUNSTAN (St Kilda)
Rivals have considered Dunstan but no takers so far. Needs a breakout year in 2019.
DAVID ARMITAGE (St Kilda)
Not sure he fits into St Kilda’s best 22 next year. Rivals could get him cheaply.
DARREN MINCHINGTON (St Kilda)
Delisted tough nut set to get a lifeline at Waverley. Next Paul Puopolo?
JAKE NEADE (Port Adelaide)
Out of contract at Port and Collingwood sniffing as Kayle Kirby replacement.
DON’T COUNT ON IT
STEVEN MAY (Gold Coast)
He hasn’t declared his hand because he doesn’t have to. Wants to be traded, but is aware that unless the Suns can get pick No.5 it isn’t happening. Fair enough, too, given they will likely get pick No.2 - and an extra year’s service - if he leaves next year. Given Brisbane would have to trade on Lachie Neale, then Fremantle would have to trade on 29.
DAYNE BEAMS (Brisbane)
Still in the same holding pattern of the past few months. He wants to go home, Brisbane would potentially do it for a compelling deal but won’t do it for unders given he was their captain for the first half of the year. The Lions front-ended most of his deal, and they paid the world for him in picks and players to the Pies. Pick No.18 won’t do it. Would 18 and the Pies’ second-round pick? Very little chat between the two clubs so far. Brisbane can’t do it for pick No.18 because giving up No.5 and 18 for Lachie Neale would be overs. Not when they will get Neale as a free agent next year for nothing.
JESSE HOGAN (Melbourne)
Wants to get to Fremantle, but the Dockers are playing hard ball, saying they don’t think Hogan is worth two early picks. It’s curious why Fremantle keep banging on about due diligence, as if there is more to this story. Demons say they want pick No.5 from Fremantle (via Brisbane) or they will keep him.
JACK HOMBSCH (Port Adelaide)
The Port Adelaide full-back has been told he might be surplus to requirements at the Power but the Suns are seen as unlikely to take him despite earlier interest.
MARCUS ADAMS (Bulldogs)
The Bulldogs defender is being held to his contract despite agreeing to head to the Lions, who traded out pick 22 in a pick swap with the Suns. Not exactly apparent how this deal gets done yet.
HAIL MARY
JON CEGLAR (Hawthorn)
Hawthorn and Ceglar’s camp say he is going nowhere despite ongoing speculation about a move.

-
Yup mass hysteria around Stengle. It’s unfortunate but even if he had played a few games it still would have been a rookie contract from us vs a longer term senior contract from a team in his home state. We were competing for a flag, you don’t play someone based on future potential you play them on the now and unfortunately Stengle isn’t in our best 22 and has been offered a better deal, that’s that.

The ankle injury is definitely concerning. I think I remember hearing something somewhere about us being really put off by the medical; that's why the media chat was that we didn't have the cap. It wasn't that; its actually just we were unlikely to take the punt on him.
The chat on BF is that GWS have been well over the cap for some time and it's all a conspiracy.
It all adds up; just sayin :rollin

Fremantle has put Pick 11 on the table for GWS big man Rory Lobb, per a report, but is keen on getting more than just the Western Australian in the deal. Instead Fremantle would want a reasonably good draft pick coming along with Lobb. The Giants hold picks 14, 25, 43, 47 and 52 in the first few rounds of the draft, and Pick 25 is viewed as the most likely candidate.

Gold Coast and North Melbourne are set to complete the trade for outside midfielder Aaron Hall as early as Tuesday morning. And the Suns could settle for a very late pick. Foxfooty.com.au understands the Suns will most likely receive Pick 68 in return for Hall, who played just six senior games this year due to injury and form.

Blessed with no injuries this year. A big concern IMO going into 19 with no new midfield additions

IMO theyre likely thinking Higgins will play a lot more midfield, along with Graham - theres quite a bit of scope for improvement from within with these guys. Think we'll find Dusty will spend more time in midfield too and now that Lynch is here caddy isnt going to be a 90-10 key fwd/mid, will spend more time in the midfield rotations. You can also guarantee we'll be looking to draft some inside mids
-
If they are that concerned for midfield depth we could look to grab Barlow as a mature age rookie
Would slot in nicely if we need someone.

Two Suns in the sunset:
Aaron Hall off to North Melbourne for pick 68.
Jack Scrimshaw plus Gold Coast's future round 4 pick off to Hawthorn for their future round 3 pick.

Reports of Scrimshaw being on $400K, this is absolute madness and really does make it tough for interstate clubs.

I reckon Hall for pick 68 is a steal, especially when we traded Lloyd for a similar pick.
What's the knock? Was great until 2018?

Supposedly there's at least 25 -30 first round quality kids in the draft this year so bearing that in mind - trade 17 & 37 for West Coast's 20 & 22 - which would help then get Kelly from Geelong, who apparently want a pick in the teens... :shh
If we're "hitting the draft" like the club says then surely we'll at least be trading back into the earlier rounds and not than just accumalating a bunch of crappy late picks? Either that or we must be looking to bundle them up to trade on draft night to clubs who need points to match bids....even then I can't see us getting a good pick with what we currently have.... :huh
-

Could do worse than give him a year....they say you're only as good as your last game and his last game was 37 touches in a crap side that was well beaten.... :shh

Yes but Junior Ablett did that every week too, cheap possessions they may have been but he racked them up. At least we know Barlow will go and get the thing as opposed to Junior standing out the back looking for the "cheapies"
But actually agree would take him as a rookie.....

Scully for a 4th round pick.
Let's see if the Hawks have special healing powers.
-
Geez H Geez that's gonna be the steal of the century if he's running around in September for them next season
-
I cannot fathom how that's been allowed to happen. Just unbelievable.
-
His ankle must be beyond stuffed for that deal to go through without any other team willing to take the risk to pay for his 500-600k salary if only a 4th rounder was required.
-
Others were interested but he only wanted to go to the Dawks. 4th stuffing rounder though. So odd.
-
I think I would back the dawks before gws or GC types
Seriously what a joke they are with this fire sale. Blowtorch should be on GES and who authorised the fire sale :shh
-
Still hoping for a twist in the tale.....maybe we're waiting for the live tv show tommorow night.... :shh

Who have we cut yet?

According to the news tonight, GWS reckons Scully's ankle is stuffed and he won't play again. With a 3-year deal they just wanted to offload him.

Steven May’s declaration that he'll go to any Victorian club that can satisfy the Suns in a trade seems to have opened up a lot more doors, but how likely is it that any other clubs will join Melbourne in the race for the Gold Coast captain?
Richmond’s pick 17 wouldn’t be enough, and anyway, there can’t be any salary cap space left at Punt Road after securing Tom Lynch and re-signing the club’s ‘big four’ in the past two years, so the Tigers are no chance.

I wouldn't say we were no chance. It could be worked out. I can see a possible way it could be done. Now i don't have any inside running here on this and absolutely nothing may come of it. but wouldn't it be just a touch of magic if we landed May and Lynch.

Tony Sheahan said on twitter we were after Karl Amon from Port but has since deleted the tweet....
...and no I don't know who the stuff Karl Amon is either....apparently his main claim to fame so far is being the bloke NicNat tried to bury in a tackle that got him suspended... :shh

A defender is literally the last thing we currently need especially on the type of salary that may would command.

With North active this year I would’ve like us to make a play for Jacobs. Injury prone but very good player, Maybe give them B.Ellis to make it happen.

Brisbane get Neale and pick 30.
Fremantle get picks 6, 19, 55.
About to go down:
May to Melbourne.
Hogan to Freo.

Jesse Hogan officially a Docker. So much for Freo saying it was off.
Freo get Hogan and pick 65
Melb get picks 6 & 23.

And trades are now going down all over the place.
Freo get Lobb, picks 14, 43 & 47.
GWS get picks 11 & 19.

Can't find any confirmation on the RFC site that Townsend has re-signed.
Am I missing it?

I think he is good enough to be on an AFL list. Same goes with Menzel.

Even with 4 or 5 knee reco’s Menzel is twice the player Bellis is. I would swap them tomorrow.

Remember that time Menzel was in the AA squad of 40 & runner up B&F...:shh
-
Remember that time this year when we had people basically falling out of their sick beds but were still better options than a fit Bellis for a prelim final?

In a heartbeat
-
Menzel has obviously fallen out with the club because they won't give him more than a year contract. I'd happily take him on a two year deal. . He knows he won't get huge coin. Guy is a goal-kicking genius and would sit very nicely in the F50 next to Jack, Lynch, Dusty, George + Butler etc.
Murdoch also worth a spot IMO. Agreed upgrade on Ellis.

Menzel does not do the forward pressure thing so cannot see how he would fit into our forward game plan structure
-
You think he would fit in with Lynch, Caddy and Jack? Shall we just get rid of all our forward line pressure altogether?
He is a witches hat. The Cats are booting him for a reason.
-
Let’s get Mitch Morton out of retirement and play him in the other pocket!

Does Dusty do the F50 pressure thing? Not really...
Jack actually does.
It's a fair point, but having 2-3 of Castagna, Butler, Rioli, Higgins and Bolton there would help...
-
We already have a much better version of menzel in Caddy.
Our forward structure now is spot on imo with jack and lynch as the 2 talls surronded by smalls rioli/butler/castagna/higgins/baker/bolton with caddy and martin rotating between midfield and forward.

Spot on. LOL at the Cats for moving on Caddy and keeping Daniel "Hate the rough stuff" Menzel

I must be the only one who thinks Murdoch is a spud. Bellis looks like a superstar next to him. Pass for me.
Menzel can play but is lazy. Would rather put time into a youngster......

Each time he's played against us recently, he's looked like a spud. All my Geelong mates think he's a spud and is a whipping boy just like Ellis. There is a reason he was delisted....

One minute Bellis is a superstar compared to this guy, the next minute he is a whipping boy?
You need to ask one of your mates which one it is you think?
Going off your comments, you have seen Murdoch about 4 or 5 games in the last 60 odd!
Not a great sample size Doc!
If you are going to have an opinion, try and make sure it’s yours.

Superstars are often whipping boys....:shh
Richo....you probably bagged him until it was cool to like him, BT....:shh :shh
And yes, I compared Richo to Bellis..........:shh :shh :shh

For the record, Richo is my favourite ever Tiger, so no I have never bagged him.
Not only my favourite Tiger, but the best I have ever seen.
And a great Tiger man.
Comparing him to Bellis is un - Tiger - like and you should be ashamed of yourself.

I'll say it again. He's a spud. Thats ny opinion after having seen hi play his entire career. In particular, he's been a spud when playing us, where I have watched him live. He makes Bellis look like a superstar. Bellis is better at reading the ball off the boot. Bellis is much better overhead.
My Geelong friends also think he's a spud. They agree with me. My opinion is not obtained from them. It agrees with their opinion.
My opinion is shared by the Geelong hierarchy. They've watched him closer than you and I, yet they agree with me as they've delisted him. What makes you think that you are right and I am wrong? The evidence is stacked against you amd not me.
-
If liking richo was ever uncool then I don’t ever want to be cool.
-
You ever sit in the stands and listen to the abuse directed at him from many of our own during most of his career, especially the Frawley years?
Was unbelievable. Absolute nuffies.

Confirmed by AFL News this morning
Hasn’t signed

Can someone explain to me me how these academy players get chosen. It seems like swans cats pies gws players get access and we get donuts

This resonates with me. Wouldn't touch Murdoch, Menzel is a freak but has mental demons (knee).

Poster on BF reckons Essendon & us are into Sheridan..... :shh
-
Regarding Murdoch, I think the original question posed here was if he was worth a rookie spot.
I think he is. He has the tools to be a good player, and it may be he wasn't a good fit with the Cats.
History would suggest that if he has been delisted by a club, he is unlikely to make the grade. Clearly no one wanted to trade for him.
But at the same time, I have felt he has played some reasonable footy against us, and a rookie spot is a lot cheaper than a Pitura stuff-up.

Evidently you need to quote the source

Do it Do it Do it Do it Do it

Rules haven't changed
If it is in the public domain = a known news source and you can supply the link it can be posted
If it's a unsubstantiated rumour that legally can get us trouble you don't post it.
Same rules as always and very simply
And I made it clear the other day after I removed a post that outside of being one that could have got us into massive trouble showed a lack of respect towards OER, not to mention stupidity on the part of the poster ... We will start suspending posters if they refuse to follow the rules on these types of posts

Hibberd and Collins as rookie selections would be handy. Both can play but haven't thrived in their first club environment. Definitely worth consideration.
-
I'll be brief
In the last 90 mins I have removed 3 posts that are clearly in reference to what we won't allow Dooks to post about because it is in breach of site rules and to lesser extent is mocking the mods on this site
Final Warning,
if I Have to remove one more post about it the person will be issued a strike under the 3 strikes policy
Can I make it any clearer :banghead

Will take the comments of the posters in the post I've just removed at face value
Let's leave it at that and move om

He is easily the best of the delisted bunch footy wise. Makes you wonder if there are other things going on with his mental health or behavioural issues that saw him delisted. It's not like the GCS have an abundance of this sort of player at his age range.....
-
Always an ultimate pro as a kid, maybe that's changed but IDK tbh. Surprised they let him go, there has to be a valid reason

Harry Dear and Jesse Lonergan would help in areas where we have a problem.

Could you pm me the deleted posts 🤣

TOM CAMPBELL (2/11/1991)
Previous club/s: Western Bulldogs (42 games)
Why would they want him?The 200cm Bulldogs discard looms as the ideal back-up for a ruck-needy club – and there are a few that could do with an upgrade in this area. Campbell never played double-digit games in a season while at the Kennel, but he is athletic, a competent contested mark and holds his own in ruck contests. Likely to find a new home.
Should suit: Essendon, North Melbourne, Richmond
MAVERICK WELLER (13/2/1992)
Previous club/s: Gold Coast (32 games), St Kilda (89)
Why would they want him?Several clubs could get use out of an experienced and versatile role player like Weller, especially one desperate for an opportunity to continue his AFL career. He's another footballer on this list with 100-plus-games under his belt, including playing double-digit matches in each of the past five seasons. Look no further for an instant contributor.
Should suit: Gold Coast, Greater Western Sydney, Richmond
