John Ralph(yeah yeah flog) when asked on AFL Tonight if Essendon would have another crack at Jack Martin next off-season said "No, but just about every other Melbourne club is interested...." :shh
-
Hope Mason Wood has another shyte year - he has so far - reckon we could get him for unders and turn him around.... :shh
Also wouldn't mind going after Ben Crocker if he still can''t crack it for a regular gig in the seniors at Collingwood....be handy to have a poor man's Martin,,,,especially if we don't get the Middle Class Man's Martin SPP...or even if we can.....imagine three Dustys in the side (well as close as you could realistically get without getting Rayner) ...try taggin' 'em all stuffers.... :shh :shh
I guess this is a general trade target thread now... :shh :shh :shh
-
We usually start these talks a year before we get serious. In that regard Cerra from Freo and/or Hopper from GWS would be targets.
-
SPP too.....depends on how Port go this year and what happens with Hinkley...most likely to head back to WA if he does leave though... :shh
Cerra probably not until the end of his current contract now....Bolton alone won't get him at this stage.. though ironically if SPP heads west a three way trade involving, say, Graham and something else might get him over here early..:shh :shh
Hopper still most likely... :shh :shh :shh
..but...
...Martin appears to be a new development since Essendon pulled out of the race...taking Cerra out of the equation, it's a toss up between him & SPP for me and I'd definitely take him over Hopper....we'd have to be very creative to get them both and it's further complicated by the sudden realisation that we'll probably need another quality KPD as well now,,,if that's the case I'd be going hard at Sam Taylor though I reckon you can find fairly decent, if not superstar KPD's for cheap....:shh :shh :shh :shh
-
We need big, strong mids. At least a couple...

Lol OP posting drunk again :shh

Mason Wood would be a sensational get but I can’t see him leaving the Roos - mainly for salary cap reasons.
-
Would love Jacob Hopper.
-
Hopper over jack martin for sure. Taranto even better, Coniglio even better than that.
-
Taranto will be even better than Coniglio.....and while Hopper would certainly be a good get you're either severely overrating him or severely underrating Martin.... :shh

Why? I’m OS at the moment so well out of the loop. Last I heard he was a strong chance.

Just signed a two year deal
-
I wouldn’t mind Jack Martin at all. Another who hasn’t hit his peak at the GCS.
-
Take a wide berth from Mason Wood after yesterday. We don't need another forward who misses gettable shots from just 25m out.
-
Hope he keeps it up, he could be a bargain...still rate him.... :shh
...though having just watched the U'18 Australian team smash Casey think I'd rather trade for higher picks.....some seriously exciting talent on dispay.....Adelaide will be rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of Matt Rowell - hope Carlton think Stocker was worth it... :shh :shh
-
Any other prospects that could be good gets.
I think we will be looking for a midfielder or two with our early picks
-
You should've asked me just after the match finished - can't remember any of their names now... :shh
There was an indigeneous kid who looked like he was playing at half -forward that reminded me a lot of Jack Martin - from NT and not named Rioli so probably wont go early....there was a taller Libba Jr lookalike think his name was Flanders who looks a decent inside mid that can drift forward and kick goals.....some talent in the backline too...a tall long haired kid Josh something- IIRC last name sounded similar to Warpole or Weller (but wasn't either of those)....most of the very best players like Rowell seemed to come from Oakleigh Chargers... :shh :shh
-
Most of the kids all went in hard and tackled. Casey seemed to be taging one of the kids you mentioned.
Stock seemed a bit lost at AFL level last time I saw him, but give him time.
-
Wernt there rumours during trade period that we were after Matt crouch? Would be a great addition to our midfield.
-
Fletcher Roberts on the outer at Foot is clay....could do worse... :shh

Who would your club target in a mid-season trade?

RICHMOND
Trade targets
Brayden Sier: The Magpies' big-bodied inside midfielder is yet to play a game at AFL level this year but played 12 (including finals) in 2018. Will add depth to an area hit badly by injuries.
Jack Gunston: With depth being tested at both ends of the ground, a genuine classy swingman could be the icing on the cake. The Hawks are still no finals certainties, either.
Lachie Henderson: Out for one more week with a plantar fascia injury, but not in Geelong's best 22 regardless. Richmond's key back stocks have looked wobbly at times this year, and Henderson is experienced on the big stage.
On the table
Jacob Townsend: A proven player with good form in finals, Townsend can play either midfield or forward. Not in Richmond's best 22 and was re-drafted as a rookie.
Dan Butler: May be looking for opportunities elsewhere after falling out of favour. A classy premiership forward who knows where the goals are. Has also been playing a bit of midfield in the VFL.
Jack Graham: A somewhat controversial call given his Grand Final exploits but was out of the best 22 before his hamstring injury. Now fully fit, he is capable of playing as an inside mid, half-forward or even across half-back.

-
Seir's woth a look at the end of the year....... :shh
Yes. I would be happy if the club made enquires. A Big bodied extractor is just what we need.
-
The other young bloke at the Wobbles who's not getting a game that I'd be looking at is Ben Crocker....he's basically De Goey's understudy......not quite as talented obviously but probably more versatile....can play forward, mid and off half back....liked him since I saw him play for Vic Metro in the champs - was hoping we'd select him with a later pick that year... :shh
-
I would prefer to keep all 3 of our players before the 3 listed above
Call me crazy, but I'd consider trading probably all 3 for the other 3 haha.
Currently Townsend and Butler are 100% not best 22. Graham I think might struggle to get back in also.
Gunston a class act and long-proven goal kicker. Henderson not a bad option for KPD depth. Sier probably more upside at this stage than Towner.
Anyone else?
-
So according to Tiger71 on the Big Footy podcast we're into Kruezer and one out of Cunnington, BCrouch or........Gaff.... :shh
I seriously hope none of that is true.... :shh :shh
-

Really? I'd be very keen on Cunnington...
Interested in Crouch.
-
I’d say Crouch the most likely candidate.
Cunnington would have to high a price tag on the open market. Could get Kruezer in a fire sale at the end of the year but with his injury history you’d want another A grade ruckman along side him. Which wouldn’t really make sense.
-
Butler, Towner and Graham over Henderson, Gunston and Sier.....I've heard it all now.
-
Kruez can walk I think, free agent.
Gaff just signed for 5 years didn't he?
Cunnington would be the cheapest (in picks) due to his age. Could we get him with the Ellis compo? :shh
-
Cunnington wouldn’t come across for less than 600k I’d have thought. We haven’t got that space. And I’m not sure he’s worth that much anyway. Especially considering we’ll need $$ at some point for Stack and Bolton/Cerra.
-
Kruezer would only add depth to our injury list... :shh
Cunnington is old & slow turnover merchant and as a poster of BF rightly pointed out would constantky get pinged for HTB if he played for us... :shh
Gaff not a need - overrated outside accumulator - his disposal is not as good as people think, actually turns it over a fair bit ... :shh
-
Cunnington isn’t as old as he looks. Only 27 will be 28 by start of next season so I agree it’s not an ideal age bracket. Brad Crouch would be a good get but rather his younger/better brother Matt.

* Victorian clubs like Carlton and the Western Bulldogs keen to secure Gold Coast’s Jack Martin will have to open their chequebooks wide. The asking price for Martin could get close to an incredible $4 million if a club is desperate to land him. A club near the bottom of the ladder might need to offer him $700,000 over five or six years. There is also the option of moving to a premier club that would lower the pay demands.
* Jack Darling’s name has come up in trade discussions this week, linked by Perth media to the Western Bulldogs to beef up their attacking credentials.
* Rivals will be keen to drag a couple of talented Pies out of the current squad, but right now Brayden Sier has shown no inclination to leave despite being out of contract and out of favour at selection.
* Clubs are monitoring the situation facing powerful GWS midfielder Aiden Bonar. The No.11 draft pick has been unable to play a single senior game so far this season despite some strong form in the NEAFL. The 188cm ballwinner has serious X-factor and athleticism and has averaged 22 possessions and five clearances in the twos. The 20-year-old is contracted to the Giants until the end of 2021, and the club has no plans to move the Dandenong product back home to Victoria. But clubs are keeping a close eye on Bonar.
* Will the Crows attempt to trade [pick #1 thanks to Carlton] for Grundy or one of Gold Coast pair Izak Rankine or Jack Lukosius, or just use it for No.1 overall pick Matt Rowell?

-
I'd take any of them.... :shh
If Adelaide can't land Grundy, I would trade this year's & next year's first for their #1 pick to get Rowell...and even chuck in Graham if need be...hell I'd also even agree take a dud like Ellis-Yeoman off their hands on top of that just to get it done...he'd be an upgrade on Ballard in our VFL side at least... :shh :shh
-
Can we actually get a big bodied quality mid or are we already no room in the salary cap.
Does anyone know? We’ve needed to get more in for some time. Ross looks good & Collier Dawkins but still very young. Can we get another better version of Prestia?
How’s our chances of getting a ready made quality mid?
-
No more midgets please. We have too many.

I think that is why we went with Pickett in the mid-season draft.
While he isn't what'd you call a traditional big bodied mid, he is as hard as a cats head and plays very aggressively around the pack.
-
I think we all know how bad our recruiting was under FJ but I think at the minute when we are in desperate need for a big bodied mid, I think the two of the worse decisions made was the selection of Griffiths ahead of Fyfe and Lennon ahead of Cripps.
Imagine our midfield now.
-
If only we had great big crystal balls
-
Well said, Hooter.
-
With Cotchin now struggling with hamstrings we are going to have to find his future replacement. He has been a great player and leader. Its his role in the midfield that we need to find a player if quality. We havent traded for a top top pick in thd draft for a while. Maybe its time we started looking at what we can offer Adelaide for the first pick.

Adelaide won't be giving up pick 1, not a chance
-
Strong word is that they'll probably try and trade it to the filth to get Grundy but as I said - if they fail- we should be chucking the kitchen sink at them to get pick one and Rowell- kid's going to be be a absolute gun and looks ready to go....either way, we should be trying to get into the top 5 or top 10 at least....the high end of this draft looks even better than last year's super draft but probably doesn't have the depth.... we need to add more top end young talent to our list IMO - we look to have been lucky with our picks these last few years but we can't keep having a 15 or even 10- 30 starting points at every draft and expect to keep striking gold or keeping up with the talent other clubs are drafting....get 'em in while they can develop under premiership players, established guns and good leaders...that's how you achieve sustained success..... :shh
-
The way we are going at the moment, and our low %, we will have a top 10 pick
-
Then we'll have better currency to trade for a top 5 pick... :shh

PEACE OUT:
Aiden Bonar looks set to return home at seasons end, and will request a trade out of GWS
The tough midfielder has found it hard to crack into the best 22 and rightly so, but has had opposition clubs offer him more senior opportunities
North Melbourne are favourites to land his services as it stands, closely followed by Carlton, Richmond, Essendon and Hawthorn.
North fans, would you like to see aiden in the blue and white?

Is that the same page that went on an epic rant when it started to break that Gaff was staying at W.C, calling out Tom Browne a poo stirrer, and finished by cantankerously stating Gaff was 100% signed, sealed and delivered to Norf?
3 weeks later after being utterly shamed, they handed out “grades” for each clubs trade period. They gave North an -A (they missed out on Gaff but signed 3 other jets in Hall, Polec and Pittard).
They gave Richmond a B (for signing the most valuable free agent on the market).
On a side note: we were super keen on Bonar at the draft 2 years ago weren’t we?

Didnt he have major knee issues as a junior

Ryder wants to be the number one ruck and is seeking a club that will afford him that opportunity.
Nearly 18% of Ryder’s hitouts have been to advantage this year, a number that Champion Data rates as elite. There are a handful of clubs that could use Ryder’s ruck craft.

CARLTON is set to target the recruitment of a small forward during this year's NAB AFL Trade Period.
The club's list management team has already started preparing for another significant off-season at Ikon Park, with a pressure forward high on its list of priorities.
Gold Coast youngster Jack Martin has been heavily linked to a potential move to Carlton, while Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti remains uncontracted at rivals Essendon.
Collingwood forward Jamie Elliott is one of this year's most prized unrestricted free agents, while Port Adelaide utility Sam Gray and Richmond premiership player Dan Butler are also set to come out of contract at season's end.
https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-06-19/blues-on-the-hunt-for-small-forward-to-complement-tall-timber
The Blues' first pick is linked to where Adelaide finishes on the ladder. So around pick 14.

PLAYERS LIONS RECRUITERS ARE WATCHING
Brandon Ellis
The Lions have previously expressed interest in Tiger Brandon Ellis. They don’t have many line breaking types who can play off half back or on the wing. The player may come from within the ranks with youngsters Zac Bailey and Brandon Starcevich both highly rated, but Brisbane went after Ellis once before and may ask the question again.

lol that was the same dude who went full on attack mode on a journo (think it might have been Morris) when he first reported gaff had a change in heart and decided to stay in west coast, calling him pathetic and a rubbish journo who makes things up to create a headline. Was so awesome when gaff resigned a couple days later.
Anyway agreed, Taranto would be an unreal pickup!
-
Would love Taranto, but not sure how we are better placed pick wise than Carlton, they have Adelaides and it is not much different to ours.

With Rioli to pick as father and son next year, and touted as a first round pick), we could (should) be looking at using next year's first this year. We could then use both this year and next year picks to get someone.

VICTORIAN clubs have contacted Bradley Hill's management about the Docker's playing future since his comments on Perth radio last week about his homesick girlfriend.

I would take that. Kennedy in a good team has plenty to offer. Potentially an upgrade on Broad type. We have enough small forwards to last a decade. Might as well get something.

Don't care about losing Butler but Kennedy's a spud and has already been in a good team at GWS where he was also a spud.... :shh

THREE PLAYERS TIGERS RECRUITERS ARE WATCHING
Jon Ralph
Herald-Sun
9 July 2019
Paddy Ryder
Out of favour at Port Adelaide, would the Tigers look at trying to squeeze Ryder into their mix? Despite his struggles this year, he still demands respect as a forward and can hold his own against most opposition ruckmen. He will be 32 at the start of next season but could be worth the risk.
Ryan Abbott
Currently behind Rhys Stanley, Darcy Fort and Zac Smith in the pecking order, the mature age ruckman could be looking around for more opportunity. He has shown he is clearly too good for VFL level and could be the perfect low risk back up for Nankervis.
Griffin Logue
Still without a contract for next year at the Dockers, plenty of rival clubs would love to drop Logue into their backline. With Alex Pearce’s injury, the former first round draft pick has shown he is capable of holding down a key defensive post. While Alex Rance is set to return next year, there is always room for another quality defender.
https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/trade-hq-check-out-all-the-big-list-calls-facing-richmond-this-offseason/news-story/ab818dcf97b0081731bd796c3f798eab
-
Ryder - don't mind it. Might depend how Chol goes for the rest of the year. If Chol stands up, there is no need for Ryder.
Abbott - anyone behind Zac Smith in the pecking order will be behind Soldo (and I'm not Soldo's number one fan). I reckon it's time to go for an 18yo development ruckman in the draft/rookie draft this year
Logue - key defenders are what we should be chasing. In saying that, at 193cm, not sure he is any more of a key defender than Grimes and Broad. If we go mature key defender, I would be looking at a 197cm+ key defender.
-
Pass, pass, pass! :thumbsdown
Yikes! I mean, seriously, YIKES! :o
-
Logue would be a great get....been set back by injuries but the kid can play......Abbott maybe if he's dirt cheap and we pee off Slomo...but he'd most likely find himself in the same position in the pecking order here that he is at Geelong.......Ryder can stuff right off....hopefully the rise of The Mighty Mabs has changed our priorities.... :shh
-
Can't see us being as player for Logue if the rumours regarding Cerra are on the money.
Freo fans would go into meltdown if we got both of them :lol Just the thought of it gives me shivers.
-
If were chasing a ruck I'd rather go for Sean Darcy. Clearly behind Sandi and Lobb at Freo. Big unit and probably cheap.
KPD and big mids should be a priority next trade period IMO
EDIT: Lobb, not Long. Autocorrect...

Swans recruiters watching Butler according to the Herald-Sun.
Dan Butler
With Daniel Menzel yet to consistently fire at the Swans, more small forward depth could be on the club’s radar. Having been in and out of the Tigers side throughout the past two years, Dan Butler could be the perfect fit. He booted 30 goals in Richmond’s premiership year.

Cerra has been averaging 15 touches a match.

He's a jet and is every chance to be a top 10 midfielder in the comp. Freo are in freefall at the moment, so you have to take his performances with a grain of salt for this season.
If anything, its the perfect time to strike. Price will be low enough that we could potentially snare him.

Yep kid showed last year that he can play- having second year blues though not quite as severly as Higgins is... :shh

Don't quite get the love for Cerra other than being a high draft pick.
Would love Taranto but can't see this one happening.
-
Midfielders are handy, we might need a bigger bodied one or two as Cotch can’t do it for ever
Cerra, doesn’t look any better than we have, but I haven’t seen enough of him
Do we need a genuine ruckman , key Backman and a key forward- we know it’s hard to get good ones but I’m starting to trust our Recruitment team
-
Logue - key defenders are what we should be chasing. In saying that, at 193cm, not sure he is any more of a key defender than Grimes and Broad. If we go mature key defender, I would be looking at a 197cm+ key defender.
Re-signed with Freo for three years today... >:(

Story on AFL Tonight about the Aints having a clean out - out of the players they speculated could be up for trade, wouldn't mind Acres & Carlisle.... :shh

I'd take Fyfe and a possible trade could be:
Fyfe in
Bolton, Macintosh and next years first round pick
Couldn't see us fitting into the salary cap so won't happen.
No, would never part with Stack.

I'm comforted by the fact that we won a premiership after 37 years. Who knows how things would have turned out if we picked up Fyfe? We may have challenged more but failed at the final hurdle.....
-
If Fyfe wanted to come to us I'm sure we would make it work somehow. He would have to take less, just like everyone else. Freo would need to pay some of his contract and we would have to compensate them heavily with players. Probably Stack, Bolton and picks.

Righto, tell us what would then.

Our first round draft pick is going to be something in the mid teens (hopefully late teens) and ur saying that plus kmac who at his best is on the fringes of our 22 and Bolton who has just begun to get a run of games for us will be enough to get one of top few players in the Comp also being their club captain who is also contracted for many years to come???
Start with 2 top 10 picks probably on the early end and then start throwing in your steak knife players to sweeten the deal.
-
No need to trade our future for a player with a few years left.
We should get in his ear about retiring, then snap him up for a Luke Hodge type role.
-
Lol, we’re not getting Fyfe.

I rate KMAC very highly who's 25 and Bolton is a potential star who's 20 for Fyfe who is a gun but getting older 29 next year. Your not giving 2 top 10 picks plus players (as mentioned) for Nat Fyfe. If it's just picks then 2 picks inside first round would do it. KMAC was top 10 B&F 6 weeks ago. Forms dropped off obviously and it's bad timing for my post as he has been dropped this week.
But yes semantics as we arent getting Fyfe as I said in the original post.
-
I actually thought Fyfe was a couple of years younger.
In any case I wonder what you would think if someone offered kmac, Bolton and pick 15 for dusty who is a similar age.....
-
I'd never give up Dusty but if Freo offered Cerra, B Hill and a first rounder when he's 28-29 who knows?? I get your point.
-
He is 28 right now lol.
That'd be a poor deal. Give up on Fyfe lads
-
The rumour is he wants out, nothing more than that.

SPP dropped by Hinkley again... :shh
Will probably be dropped again on the performance today. Can’t see us wanting him to be honest seems to have gone backwards. Lacks pace and doesn’t work hard enough without the footy.
I’d rather Sier or we just grab another up and coming champion from our northern development team. :rollin

I thought he looked a little slow and.... I felt he sat off the contest a lot of the time yesterday, rather than making and potentially winning the contest.
May be carrying an injury. Didn’t look super fit, but I only got to see the replay of the game.
-
Maybe he just doesn't wanna line up for them, like Lids for the last year we had him on our list...
-
SPP's been in the bad books and unhappy at Port since his off-field indiscretions early last year...kid's a gun and outside of maybe De Goey or Rayner he'd be the closest we'd could get to having a second Dustin Martin in the side... :shh
Also pretty tight with Stack.... :shh :shh

I think SPP is slow.

If SPP is slow, then I'd go with sticking Caddy in as an inside mid.

Dont know what your infatuation with SPP is. If he was playing at Richmond you’d be calling him slow, questioning his skills and pointing out he doesn’t chase hard enough and most likely linking him with a move back to WA.
-
Is that right champ? Or maybe it's because I'm aware of the reasons why he's been out of form and, obviously unlike you, my memory extends back to before last year. :shh

Yipes! It’s all good fun until someone gets “champed”.
Would definitely take any of the above mentioned from SA (including Greenwood).
In other news, apparently Stack has signed an extension :thumbsup

Damn your memory is impressive going back a whole 2 years to a players debut year.
If I remember correctly jack Graham was all the rage after his 5 games that year but that hasn’t stopped you calling him trade bait.

Adelaide midfielder Brad Crouch has confirmed St Kilda has approached his manager.
Crouch, who hails from North Ballarat, is due to become a restricted free agent at the end of 2020.
"In my situation at the moment I haven’t had any contact with any clubs other than Adelaide," Crouch told 5AA.
"Like a lot of different players would have experienced throughout the whole AFL, other clubs can go to your management and say, even three years out of contract or in contract, and go 'is Brad happy? Would he think about coming to wherever for this and that?'
"That sort of thing happens all the time. That's happened to my manager.
"They (St Kilda) have spoken to my manager, but that's just 'How's Brad going?'. That's all it is.
"My manager said straight away 'Brad's enjoying himself at the footy club and just wants to play footy'.

Injury-plagued speedster Harley Bennell will meet with a Melbourne-based club later this month as he eyes a miraculous AFL comeback.

I think it’s unlikely anyone will pick him up or rookie him at the start of the season. Most likely play state league and if he stays fit and performs well he might find his way onto a list in the mid season draft.

Latest rumour has us into Keath.... :shh
Don't mind that at all, he has a very high ceiling IMO. Imagine a guy like that under Rance's onfield tutelage for a few seasons....
Wouldn't go near Bennell for several reasons, but mainly because he used us and then snubbed us at the end of 2015 when we rolled out the red carpet for him.
-
My only reservation re: Keath is his age - will be 28 next year, even though he hasn't been in the system that long and wouldn't have as much wear and tear as your typical 28 y.o. player, still wouldn't want to be giving up too much - he won't be free like Pickett was. :shh

Speaking on SEN Breakfast, Garry Lyon and Sam Edmund believe Richmond are a club that could get the best out of the talented, but injury-prone midfielder.
“There is one (club) that comes to mind,” Edmund said.
Lyon replied: “Richmond.”
The former Melbourne captain went on to explain why the Tigers are the right club to resurrect Bennell’s career.
“Most clubs are probably hoping they don’t take a punt on him, because if he works and Marlion Pickett works and Sydney Stack works, the rest of them look pretty silly," Lyon said.

PIES FILTHY WITH SIER
Collingwood is filthy with some of Brayden Sier’s conduct this year, having already believed his lack of application and poor conditioning over summer contributed to his injury issues.
He had been offered a two-year deal — which hasn’t been signed yet — with coach Nathan Buckley hinting at that attitude in Thursday’s press conference.
“We’ve been able to get the job done without Brayden for most of the year, so I think that’s a fair message for a young fella for what he needs to do.”

Stephen Coniglio could become Carlton's $2 million man in 2020.

Agree with Ramps - unless we can somehow grab a Wines or SPP (who I still think will be a superstar -espeically if gets away from Port Collingwood- and the closest we can get to having a second Dusty barring Rayner & De Goey) reckon we should throw all we can at GC for their early picks (GWS won't be giving up Green* Ramps - so we'll just get him in 3-4 years) :shh :shh
*Tom Green GWS academy kid and grandson of Michael Green, not Toby Greene
-
I reckon nows the time to hit the draft and get early picks and set up for the future. I have high hopes for Balta and CCJ and Naish etc and adding to this group should be a priority.

Not sure why you’re so against Brad Crouch. Same as SPP - get him out of the dumpster fire that is Adelaide and you’ve got a potential A grade inside mid. He’s a bit sloppy by foot, but inside mids are handball first players anyway (see D.Prestia).
And I’ve heard Crouch rumours from a number of various sources. No disrespect but I’ve only hear SPP ones from yourself and YBB.
I would be happy with SPP and have him as a very good, undervalued player as well - for the record.
What would we possibly be able to offer GC to entice them to give us pick two (or their expected pick 3 priority)? Don’t forget - they are still dirty on us for taking Lynch and paying him half what he was on up there.
-
Why would GC be dirty on us, we gave them Corey Ellis for practically nothing .... :lol
-
GC aren't "dirty " on us - Cochrane said is much and as we all know , he wouldn't hold back if they were....Hawthorn & O'Meara on the other hand.... :shh
As for what we could offer them - that's where list managers earn their keep..in Balmey we trust...getting the likes of Rowell and/or Anderson would set us up for a dozen year dynasty and beyond...if not GC's picks than at least more picks in the top 20... :shh :shh
Crouch would be just like getting an older version of Graham -but one who doesn't play forward- and would in all likelyhood keep him or our other promising kids with higher ceilings out of the side and even him & Graham both in the side would just transplant Adelaide's midfied issues to us i.e. too one-paced (yes SPP ain't quick either but he has far more tricks and natural ability) - only blokes I'd want from Adelaide are Keith (but only for unders due to his age) and Fogerty.. :shh :shh :shh
-
I reckon nows the time to hit the draft and get early picks and set up for the future. I have high hopes for Balta and CCJ and Naish etc and adding to this group should be a priority.
Should also be some fair quality to choose from in the state leagues with late/rookie picks like Riccardi, Smallwood, Lowson who got injured just before the mid-season draft that was widely tipped to go top 3 with Pickett & Dunkley..... the latter two are small mid-forwards - though Lowson is 182cm so hardly a midget- but would be very good replacements for Butler, Aarts and even Bolton if he goes.... . :shh
-
I would have thought we should go for the best KP back in the ND. We need to develop another Rance/Astbury/Grimes type even if Garthwaite comes on. I want Balta on the wing or even in the middle as a pure mid in the Kouta mould. We need to be adding things now and have them develop in the twos for two to three years.

Tiger71 on the BF Tigers podcast said B.Crouch is "70%" chance of being at Richmond next year but his "source" -who he says has never been wrong- told him that it was done...he(T71) reckons this year's and next year's second will get it done but they'll probably want a player too -Menadue or Markov most likely- reckoned we wanted Crouch's brother as well but Adelaide said no way. :shh :shh

Heard we're into a Port defender... :shh
Wood as a third tall behind Jack & Lynch or even on the wing would thrive IMO , would also fill their roles when they're on the bench and be decent coverage when they're injured...especially if we lose Markov who's finally showing some promise as a forward to Adelaide and Moore who the club see mainly as a forward even though I don't...personally I'd love to get Fogarty but that won't happen... agree we should draft Riccardi as well and possibly Worrell who plays both ends...would like our own version of Allen to Lynch & Jack's Darling & Kennedy...Chol is kind of doing it now but he has ruck duties as well....:shh

Sam Edmund believes the Blues will go hard after Richmond defender Brandon Ellis and Gold Coast midfielder Jack Martin if they miss on Coniglio.

Harley Bennell, has been linked to four Melbourne-based clubs and the source of his ongoing calf injuries reportedly discovered.
During his time at the Suns, Bennell finished second in the club’s best and fairest at just the age of 20.
He played alongside Richmond’s Tom Lynch for his five seasons up on the Gold Coast and the ex-Suns captain could only praise his talent.
“Some of the games he played up there and he’s 21 years old and he was getting best on grounds,” Lynch told SEN Breakfast.
“When he’s fit enough and ready, he’s a super player and would really add to any side.
“Hopefully he gets a bit of interest and gets his calf right, has a great career that he should have with all the talent he has,” Lynch said.

I'd take Mason Wood in a heartbeat... :shh
Has never quite reached the heights he looked like he could earlier in his career.
Wouldn’t mind Karl Amon though if he is cheap. He has impressed me this year and has oodles of talent. A big improver. He has indicated he wants to come back to Victoria.
Agree with both, Mason would be huuuge

Are you sure it is Oliver?
I have heard Brayshaw, and that the Demons will trade him for a reasonable offer as they have a number of similar players on their list.
Some talk in WA that the Dockers might look to trade using Cerra for Brayshaw and a swap of first round picks to try and land Kelly.

Former Adelaide midfielder Andrew Jarman says the Crows should listen to offers for Matthew and Brad Crouch, should they come about.
The Crouch brothers are integral parts of the Adelaide midfield but with the side set to miss finals for the second year running since the 2017 Grand Final, now could be the time for change.
“They all want to know where the club’s going forward,” Jarman said on SEN Afternoons.
“The boys want to know what’s happening moving forward.
“Don Pyke has got two years left and Don needs to reinvent the program and freshen it up.
“I think Matt Crouch and Brad Crouch, if they had a massive offer, they would go.”
The brothers have been in and amongst the rumour mill in recent weeks, with moves back to Victoria being discussed.
Should Adelaide want to rebuild on the fly, moving the Crouch boys on could be a strong place to start because of their high currency.
Brad Crouch is contracted until the end of 2020, while Matt signed a three-year extension last year meaning that he won't be a free agent until at least 2021.

So after three years of being flag contenders on the back of pace, we'll now try and replicate the plodding, one-paced midfields of Adelaide & Melbourne...sounds like a foolproof plan...:shh
-
Why do we want Crouch? We should go for more kids.
One argument is Crouch would help to fill the age bracket of midfielders where we've had some misses (i.e. Conca, Lennon, etc & Ellis as well if he leaves as expected).
-
The other thing is how long does Cotchin have. Multiple hamstring problems this year and will be 30 next year. Normally you would think he has two or three seasons left but looking at Lids and his last few years maybe Cotchin will not get on the ground as often so an extra mature capable mid maybe insurance. Then look to get kids like Ross and RCD up to full output.
-
I wouldn't even be surprised if Cotch retired if we won the flag.
-
Why wouldn’t we go after Sier?
Young, big bodied inside mid that has proven he can find the footy.
At 191cm 88kg he ticks the boxes and I’m not sure why some wouldn’t want him at Richmond especially under our program alongside Cotch and Dusty.
-
I would go after Crouch AND Sier. Cotch to HBF, get more games out of him that way...

What would be the going rate for a star like Rory Laird?
Money and draft pick/trade required to get him?
I would pay him $600/$650k for 5 years and give our first pick this year and Bellis or Markov and Menadue for him.
I would even consider trading Jack Graham if it got the job done.
-
How old is Laird and what is his contract situation?
-
Turns 26 two days before Xmas. :shh
Would give up first & Markov ( Crows rate him highly,contracted and woud need to agree but he's from SA)..chuck in Menadud for 5th round pick next year as steak knives if need be... they have a need, a need for speed... :shh :shh
-
If B Ellis goes for $600k and nets us an end of first round pick then we should consider doing something like that ^
I wouldn't pay much more than that though. End of first round + steak knife. Laird is a good player, that's all.
-
Laird's a gun - almost Adelaide's best and most important player - add him & get Rance back and we'd be slicing through sides and cutting them to ribbons on the rebound just for fun...though FWIW right now I can't see us getting him or even trying to and another thing to consider is that we also want Crouch from them, though that could change as certain other inside mids become available...which from all reports, they will... :shh
-
First round pick and a fringe player for Laird? Every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
I’d think they’d ask for more though considering his age and 2xAA.

West Coast make major play for Richmond's Shai Bolton
Tom Browne and Digital Staff
7News
1 September 2019
Shai Bolton could yet re-sign with Richmond but he has another offer on the table to consider – and it's from the reigning premiers.
West Coast have made a major play for the 20-year-old as he continues to hold off on putting pen to paper with the Tigers.
Bolton made his debut in the 2017 premiership year but his six games did not include an appearance in the finals, while he managed only three games last year.
The midfield-forward has made his mark this year, however, after going home to Perth to improve his fitness.
That drive has impressed Richmond's coaching staff and Bolton has played 16 games this year, including the club's last nine – all wins.
His efforts have also drawn the attention of the Eagles, with their offer doubly attractive for family reasons.
Part of the reason for Bolton's drive to improve came from his contract situation heading into the 2019 season, having left it until October last year to sign a new one-year deal.
He has recorded career-high averages in disposals (14.5 per game), goals (0.81), goal assists (0.88), tackles (3.56) and inside 50s (3.63) this year.
He appears set to play in Richmond's qualifying final against Brisbane next week despite playing below his form level against the Lions in round 23, recording just seven touches and one tackle.

Honestly if he wants to go let him go.
We can broker a trade or he can walk and risk being picked up by the likes of Fremantle...

He'd actually be better off going to Freo if wants a regular senior spot... :shh

I really doubt the Eagles would have the cap space to offer anything significantly larger than what we would.

SEN Breakfast journalist Sam Edmund has provided a trade update on ... Adelaide’s Brad Crouch.
Crouch remains under contract, but with the turmoil going on at the Crows with their external review and reported desire to overturn their list, Edmund believes teams are asking the question.
“He’s chasing a five-year deal, he wants to stay at Adelaide, he might even win the best and fairest this year,” he told SEN Breakfast.
“He’s a restricted free agent next year so this would be the last chance the Crows would have to get something for him.
“There might only be one or two clubs that haven’t asked about him, they’ve come from absolutely everywhere.
“There’s no suggestion they want to shop him around yet, there’s a meeting this week with him and his manager.
“He wants to stay, admittedly on his own terms of course, so the ball is in Adelaide’s court with him.”

CROUCH WANTS FIVE YEARS
In-demand Adelaide midfielder Brad Crouch is chasing a five-year deal to stay at the besieged club.
Crouch has been the subject of widespread rival interest for months and is among the favourites to win the Crows best-and-fairest after a career-best season.
Crouch is contracted for next year, but he becomes a restricted free agent at the end of 2020, meaning this is the last time the Crows can get something for him in a trade.
Virtually every club has asked the question of Crouch’s management, with St Kilda frequently linked.
At 25, the onballer is coming off a season in which he won the most disposals in what was a difficult year for Don Pyke’s side.
Adelaide is due to sit down with Crouch and his management later this week where they are expected to make their intentions clear.
Crouch’s brother Matt has previously said Brad loves Adelaide and has no plans to leave.

Jumping the gun I reckon thinking anything else.
We have Nank at 25 years old, who will be our number 1 ruck for a minimum of 5 more years, and Chol and Bolta who can play that forward/ruck roll with Soldo as back up at 23 years old.

Q. What will blues have to give up for Jack Martin? Also Papley Butler and Betts are blues really gonna get 3 small forwards in 1 period any other sneaky 1s maybe a mid?
A. The Blues will offer a future 2nd but the Suns will haggle. It may become a situation where the Blues split their first rounder to two later picks to appear the Swans and Suns.

Richmond BF munchkins take this bloke's word as gospel..I don't, but anyway...Crouch & SPP stuff is hardly a secret anymore(admittedly he was the first to mention Crouch a year ago, but he's only started mentioning SPP since others have :shh) the "Sydney mid" stuff is a new one though... :shh
Ok what I have managed to get together
Crouch - The sacking has delayed things. We were hopeful we would have a definite answer by the end of the week, obviously we have not got it yet. We still think we are a chance but the mail is its a real 50/50. If he does leave, it will be to the tigers, you can bookmark that. Obviously if i hear further ill let you know.
SPP- We believe he is 100% get able. Watch this space as a few clubs are hunting him, which includes us. I would expect our interest to ramp up if crouch stay's. Next week will be pretty active with having a more clearer picture.
One interesting I did here is that we are seeing if we can pry a sydney mid out, who it is, i cant say yet as I have been told not to release the name but once i have been given the OK ill let you guys know.

:shh :shh
-
Zak Jones would be the Swan mid.
-
That's who everyone is speculating it is on Big Footy ...just wondering -if it's true -whether or not we'd want him in lieu of Crouch or SPP or as well as them.. if it's the latter I'd say the club see him more as a defender than a mid... prefer him as a mid though.. disposal's too inconsistent for the backline and he tends to bite off more than he can chew...he also won't improve our free kick differential.. :shh
-
Yep. Jones' foot disposal is too scattergun for defence.
-
Yep. Jones' foot disposal is too scattergun for defence.
He does defend though.... although that doesn’t seem to matter much anymore as long as you can kick it 50m down the line.
#thankf$&kforGrimesandVlaustin
-
So the bloke at BF just said he meant Sydney as in the city, not the club and that the mid we supposedly have in our sights is actually from GWS...if that's case, then unless we're going to gazump Melbourne for Tomlinson, my uneducated guess is that it's probably Aiden Bonar... :shh
-
Talented GWS Giant Aiden Bonar will explore his options at the end of the season. Richmond, Essendon and Hawthorn have all expressed interest in Bonar.
St Kilda midfielder Jack Steven is going to Geelong for late 2nd or early 3rd round pick.
https://twitter.com/TheRealBozza1
-
Dunno about Bonar tbh...has talent and is a good size but he also smacks of the type of GWS fringe player that usually ends up at Carlton.. :shh
-
Would take him. We won't have to pay too much.
We rated him going into the draft.
We are not Carlton.
-
Hmmm, will he be getting a game this week with the likes of Ward, Deledio, Greene, Whitfield and Coniglio all missing?
If he's cheap then it's an opportunity but I wouldn't be paying much if he's nowhere near the firsts...
-
Bonar is 20 years of age 188cm 87kg inside midfielder
Had back to back knee reconstructions as a kid and as a result lost a lot of development time.
Pre-draft reports state "with the right coaching" he would flourish. Richmond has that.
Selected as a first round draft pick at #11 but hasn't set the world on fire since. We could get him relatively cheaply and trust our development to bring out his much vaunted x-factor.
Everything to gain. Go for it.

The only slight problem we have this year is the squeeze on list spots.
We currently have 8 on the rookie list.
We can (and should) delist Weller, Townsend and Aarts.
I did think we would have to promote Pickett, Baker, Stack, Chol and possibly Smith.
I now see we can leave Pickett on the rookie list as a mid-year pick and I wonder whether the same is true of Stack as a supplemental pick.
Probably leave Smith for another year on the rookie if possible as well as Moore.
Means we have to find room for Baker and Chol on the main list.
We have lost Grigg and Ellis.
We need to find four more spots to take 4 in the draft.
If all of Butler, Markov, Menadue and McIntosh left that would not be a bad thing.
The key is what picks or players we get in trade.
If the picks are below our current 40ish then they're useless as we won't use them.
A trade for a player means we have to find another spot on the list.
I was thinking we might have to demote Markov and Miller to the rookie.
Or can we just add 2 to the main list and have 40 and 6?
In looking at McIntosh I looked at Freo and the only ones who grab me are Cerra and Brayshaw.
Surely they wouldn't give up Cerra for McIntosh. Maybe we can do a deal of McIntosh and Menadue for him. I'd actually do that.
McIntosh or Menadue for Brayshaw is a bit of pointless like-for-like.
Would we be interested in a Hugh Dixon (196, 96 Key Forward from Tassie) in a trade.
Maybe that's the one;- McIntosh + Menadue for Cerra + Dixon. Cerra worth more balanced by Dixon worth less.
Leading from that; Could we get a Brander trade from West Coast?
Geez it's nice to sit back and have so many good players, we have to throw away some.
Last year it was Ellis, Miles, Lloyd and Conca - all playing for other teams
This year it could be Butler, Menadue, McIntosh, Markov and Ellis.
And all because they're 3rd or 4th in the race for a spot in the team.
-
Just realised that a lot of the reports of our players at other clubs are because they have been told they're delisted.
Out of contract in 2019.
Ellis
Butler
Menadue
Moore
So Butler and Menadue will have been sent by their managers on interviews to other clubs.
2020: Markov
2021: McIntosh
So only Markov and McIntosh have trade value.
-
Hence we will only get a token pick for Butler maybe.
Menadue isn't worth anything and nobody can convince me otherwise.
-
Need to trade for next year's draft picks so we can make sure we get Maurice jnr.
:thumbsup
-
Our list managers have probably targeted another 2 unknowns from Mudgee and Strachan who we get as Rookies and will tie for the Brownlow.
Unlike the 80’s 90’s and 2000 - 2010, they are very switched on and are the best in the AFL, IMMHO.
-
Great to see Lloyd finished 9th in the Dogs B&F.
Our trash is other teams treasure.
Will be interesting to see where Miles and Conca finish.

Lloyd was better than "trash". A very good footballer than couldn't hold a spot in a great football team.

Pick 5 & 9 for Danniher.
Ollie Wines for Fantasia.
You gotta love the bombers this time of year....
:snidegrin
-
RE: Freo interest in Menadue. He's uncontracted so can basically just walk. If Freo wants to discuss trade options for Cerra then that would be nice, but would take a half decent pick to get us over the line. Menadue is an absolute steak knife.
Pick 5 & 9 for Danniher.
Ollie Wines for Fantasia.
You gotta love the bombers this time of year....
:snidegrin
Laughable! They'd be lucky to get anything more than pick 9 on its own for Daniher I reckon.
Fantastia and 9 would have to go to Port for Wines + change (their 2nd rounder maybe)

Doubt he leaves to be honest. He know's there's a spot for him in a dominant side, vs a basket case rebuilding. I mean if they offer him absurd $$ then fair enough, but otherwise I can't see him leaving.

Richmond had some interest in Sydney’s Zak Jones and has spoken to his management about a deal if the St Kilda trade fell through.
But he is expected to want more cash than the Tigers could consider given their tight cap with high-paid stars including Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin, Rance, Dion Prestia, Tom Lynch and Jack Riewoldt.
St Kilda might need to hand over pick six to Fremantle for Brad Hill and use the second-round pick it secures from the Western Bulldogs for key forward Josh Bruce to secure Sydney midfielder Jones.

We're interested in suspended Pie Sam Murray apparently.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multiple clubs are considering throwing suspended Magpie and ex-Swan Sam Murray an AFL lifeline.
Melbourne, Richmond, Greater Western Sydney and North Melbourne are among the teams to register their interest in Murray, with the Demons considered as keen as any of them.
It remains to be seen whether the opposition interest in the defender will result in Collingwood looking to broker a trade, or if Murray could find a third club as a delisted free agent.
The 22-year-old has sat out of AFL football since August 17 last season, after traces of cocaine were detected in his system in a game-day test shortly beforehand.
Murray faced a four-year ban but will instead be eligible to play again on February 17, and can train at an AFL club from December 17.
He played all 13 of his senior matches in 2018 after two previous seasons at Sydney, averaging 21 disposals, five marks and four rebound 50s while earning a NAB AFL Rising Star nomination.
Murray's speed and knack for taking the game on are the traits that most appeal to his suitors.
His teenage brother, Nick, a key backman, hopes to be drafted this year after splitting his time between Ovens and Murray league club Wangaratta Rovers and the Giants' NEAFL side this season. – Marc McGowan

Drafted at pick 5 in 2017 so due to sign a bigger contract.
Played most games for Freo so he would be expecting a decent wage one would think.
Is a Victorian as is Brayshaw who was taken at pick 2 in 2017.

The rumour is that the Cats and Eagles are a fair way apart in their valuations of him, and it might be too hard to get a trade done. Also it is believed that Kelly’s reasons for seeking a trade are not as clear cut as being portrayed in the media.
A lot to play out here, but Tigers are said to be monitoring the situation closely.

RICHMOND
GONE: Shaun Grigg, Maverick Weller (retired); Brandon Ellis (Gold Coast).
IN PLAY: Two-time premiership free agent Ellis is off to the Gold Coast on a bumper deal. The Tigers will get pick 39 as compensation. Ellis’s 2017 premiership teammate Dan Butler has toured Carlton, while Kamdyn McIntosh and Connor Menadue are in Fremantle’s sights.
TARGETS: A tight salary cap and an embarrassment of riches will see the Tigers lay low this trade period. Loosely linked to Sydney’s Zak Jones but unlikely to afford him even if a deal with the Saints falls through.

-
I wish Dodoro and Essendon were banned from the trade period. We'll spend the next 10 days with every other deal being held up because those deluded idiots want multiple first round picks for their leaving players :facepalm.
-
As I said, Ellis compo gyp has stuffed us right up - my guesses are we will likely give up Butler for unders, possibly Moore for a token pick , Menadue likewise or part of a package to Freo with McIntosh but reckon KM will only be let go if we get offered a pick in the 20's or low 30's ...probably won't trade picks until draft night....the unknown quantity is whether or not we're looking at trading out next year's picks - and of course whenever Balme's involved there's always a good chance of some kind of rabbit being pulled out of the hat up right until the last minute.....:shh
-
Those out of contract - Butler, Moore & Menadue - have no trade value. An opposition club can just wait for them to be delisted and pick any of them up for free as a delisted free agent. We'd only a get a late pick back if there's a couple of clubs wanting the same player and one of them is willing to trade for him.
Only Markov and McIntosh have any trade value as they are still contracted. Even then Markov would be only worth a late pick as well.
-
Clubs trade for out of contract players all the time and until we actually actually delist them it's a game of bluff...all those players have pace which is what many clubs are most desperate for....also with Ellis now gone, a couple of them may have jumped the queue for a first team spot or at least think they have.....:shh

That’s not more than 2 first round picks though. That’s 2 late first rounders and an early second rounder. From what I’m reading the pick swap will also be in favour of the eagles so no benefit there either.

Tom Phillips to Richmond? ;D
Nick Dal Santo: Richmond don't need a whole lot. They could go for a role player off the wing. They need a Tom Phillips type.
Sam McClure: He fits the mold perfectly. Good defensive runner, great tank, neat 30m kick. Two A's for you.
https://twitter.com/traderadio/status/1181709831473811456
Manager Alex McDonald on Tom Phillips
“There’s some media speculation. Some people have made some inquiries to me, but I need to get to the bottom of that. It happens at this time of the year,” McDonald said.
“He is heavily contracted for the next two years and finished seventh in their best and fairest. I don’t see any change there, but who knows. I’d imagine Collingwood has their hands full fitting everyone in with three big players out of contract next year.”

Tim Kelly officially an Eagle. Signed a six-year deal for $5 million.
West Coast get Tim Kelly, pick 57 and a 2020 third round pick.
Geelong get picks 14, 24, 37* and a 2020 first round selection.
* The Cats have acquired Essendon's pick No.37, with more details on the Bombers' involvement to be confirmed later. It is expected pick 37 will unlock Geelong's pursuit of contracted St Kilda midfielder Jack Steven, with the Saints to receive a second-round pick.

Do that trade in a heart beat
Picks 19 22 26 and one around 30 fot Butler perfect. Use the long picks to up grade rookies.
Would make a decent draft for us

Tom Browne on the Trade Table show said Sam Murray has had no interest and wouldn't be picked up until the preseason period if he is.
A club might wait to see him do a preseason with them before signing him up (a la what we did with Stack).

It's funny to see the Saints getting shafted for Brad Hill. Even funnier to hear what Freo expect for him. He is honestly not that good a player and clearly just in it for the money. This will be the 3rd time he has moved for money. Do you want players like that on your list.
He's worth a second rounder at best (maybe a late teens pick)
Isn't it great to just be able to sit back and enjoy the other teams going to war over these players.

yes it is but lets see our club try and upgrade our picks and put us into a better draft position on draft night.

Talk about deluded! :rollin
And they wonder why they haven't won a final in 15 years when they act as obstinate unprofessional tools during the trade period every year, massively overrating their own players on the trade table, holding up other clubs from trading and getting nothing done. Which other club has its own players demanding the club force a teammate to stay against his will? Which other club wants two top 10 picks or two young opposition stars in exchange for a player who's hardly played in two years and who they themselves refuse to offer a new contract to?
Oh well, it was their deluded arrogance and idiocy that gifted Houli to us for free a decade ago. Was Dororo working for them back then too?

Carlton will offer up pick 9 to Sydney to get Tom Papley although the Blues want to receive a pick back.
The Western Bulldogs believe a third round pick in the vicinity of the pick 45 and 51 is a reasonable deal for Adelaide defender Alex Keath.
The Western Bulldogs remain adamant that pick 32 is enough to prise Josh Bruce out of St Kilda.

Freo seem to think after the Suns gave them pick 2 for Weller that every other club is just as nuts.
They can't get pick 6 now because the Saints called their bluff and swapped pick 6 to GWS for picks 12 & 18.
Hopefully, with each club wanting Butler and Menadue respectively, we can use the situation to try and push up the draft order after being duded on the Ellis compo. Both the Saints and Freo would like to get their hands on our second rounders (38, 39) and early 3rd rounder (41) to do other deals they need to do.

Richmond
State of play: The Tigers were never likely to be big players given their cap situation. Ellis has already been squeezed out and has signed with Gold Coast. Kamdyn McIntosh has attracted some interest, while it's hard to envisage either Connor Menadue or Butler being at Punt Road next year. Butler is in the sights of the Saints.

Not a bad deal IMO for the Dogs, but I can see the Saints driving a hard bargain for 23 instead of 28. Why wouldn't you?
Good recruiting. Passing up reasonable picks to address their deficiencies.
A forward line of Bruce + Naughton will be entertaining to watch for sure. Keath to replace Morris even though he didn't get out much.

Imagine if Sydney gets pick 9 for Papley and then trades 5+9 to Dons for Daniher and he can't get on the park again lol.
Honestly with picks 5, 9 & 25 they should just go to the draft. Pick up Green, McAsey + Jones if they want key forwards.
Their club is stuffed and won't challenge for the flag again anytime soon!

Sydney are in a precarious position where they have to either stay competitive and win games OR have marque players that gets the fairweather Sydneysiders through the gates. They have to stay relevant.
Sydney do get reemed with that deal though. If I was them I'd hold firm with the current offer and let Essendon stew. Danniher isn't some fringe player "nominating his club of choice" so he can go and get games somewhere. If a guy of his status comes out and states publicly that he wants to leave, as if you want to keep him at your club.
Essendon just proving to the world their arrogance and sense of entitlement knows no bounds.

WHO IS EASY TO DEAL WITH?
Geelong’s Stephen Wells and Hawthorn’s Graham Wright were said to be the best to negotiate with, while Richmond also received praise from a small sample size of interviewees.

St Kilda: Loses Picks 12 and 18 | Gains Paddy Ryder, Dougal Howard and Pick 10
Port Adelaide: Loses Paddy Ryder, Dougal Howard and Pick 10 | Receives Picks 12 and 18
Step 2:
St Kilda: Loses Pick 10 and future first-round pick | Gains Bradley Hill
Fremantle: Loses Bradley Hill | Gains Pick 10 and future first-round pick
Step 3:
St Kilda uses the pick they will receive for Bruce on trading for Jones.
Step 4:
St Kilda gets Butler for a late pick.

Talk of the Suns offering picks 15 & 20 for Brad Crouch.
Aside from that we're getting things like below from Dal Santo on trade radio to pass the time:
Dal: If Dustin Martin went to North Melbourne two years ago, they would still not win a flag.

Neither would we, just quietly.
In fact if there's any one player above the rest who we owe our two flags two - that would be Dusty for sure.

From Jon Ralph:
I understand North are giving up their first-rounder (8 ) to Melbourne for next year's Dees first-rounder. But get back 26 and 50 this year from Melbourne. Big news but backing in the points value and the Dees just being OK next year to maximise the trade.
So now Melbourne have picks 3 and 8 in this year's draft after pick swap with North. Do the Demons have an ace up their sleeve for a player trade we haven't heard about?

Right now Gold Coast has pick 58, they will give that to Geelong for Zac Smith. I expect that pick 58 to then be tied up in a deal to make Jack Steven a Cats player in 2020.

LOL Norf!
Funny if the Dees rebound next year. With the compromised and weaker draft in 2020, that first rounder will be worth nowhere near pick 8 this year.
-
We could give Melbourne pick 19 + any two of 39,41 and the Butler pick (assuming it is high 40s) in exchange for pick 8
Melbourne would then have moved their 26 to 19 and split 50 into say 41 and 48 (guessing Butler). Plus they have added a first round next year
We go into the top 10 and still have 3 picks in the third

The Herald Sun understands the Saints and Dockers have agreed on a deal to send St Kilda’s No.10 pick, their future second-rounder and pick 58 (part of Stevens trade) to the Dockers.
The two clubs could also swap future draft picks to round out the trade.
Saints utility Blake Acres could also be thrown into the trade after heading to Perth today to assess a shock move home. But he is not a deal-breaker, with the former No.19 draft pick expected to be thrown into the swap after a trade for Hill was already agreed by both clubs.

Essendon is interested in Aiden Bonar.
https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-10-15/trade-wrap-dons-eye-explosive-giants-mid-saint-unlocks-hill-deal
“Pick 32 from the Dogs will form a key part of it, I don’t think it’s going to be just 32. I think it will involve a swap of picks elsewhere. I don’t think it involves pick 13.
The Dogs hold picks 13, 32, 45, 51, 53 and 89.
St Kilda hold picks 10 (Hill), 76, 82. May receive 58 for Stevens.

There's also talk of Melbourne being willing to swap picks 3 & 8 with the Giants for pick 6 and something else (future 1st rounder?) so GWS can move even higher up the draft to access Tom Green.

If we get pick 58 for Butler, would anyone here be willing for us to swap 19, 39 & 58 (948+446+170=1564 pts) for the Dogs' 13 & 45 (1212+347=1559 pts)?
The Dogs then could give Adelaide a 2nd rounder (39) for Keath rather than their current 3rd rounder which the Crows are saying isn't enough.
And we'd have picks 13, 38, 41, 45, 75, 77.

Balmey would be there for the Butler deal at least.
The above scenario would also allow the the Dogs to offer their 32 & our 58 back to St Kilda for Bruce.
If it was one multi-club trade:
Richmond: 19, 39, Butler ---------------> 13, 45
Gold Coast: 58 ----------------------------> Smith
Geelong: Smith ------------------------> Stevens
St Kilda: Bruce, Stevens --------------> 32, 58, Butler
Adelaide: Keath -----------------------> 39
Dogs: 13, 32, 45 -------------------> 19, Bruce, Keath
The Dogs might have to chuck something else in for Adelaide.

Ignoring that we have no TPP space to move, if Brad Crouch swaps clubs then he would be the only one as another ballwinning inside mid wouldn't go astray. We're not reliant on clearances to win games but, as the GF showed, if we ever dominate winning the clearances then we totally smash opposition teams.
The answer to other players who have swapped clubs is a simple NO!

But you cannot consistently win both clearances and the next contest. Our plan is not to just concede the clearance more to make sure there is pressure on the clearance. That way it is a hack kick or handball and then we go to work on pressure to achieve a turnover. And because our guys are in pressure mode it is a quick flick to all put run attack.

ALEX KEATH will not play for the Crows next year under any circumstances.
His manager Neil McMullin today told the Herald Sun that he has ruled out any return to his former club.
"There is absolutely no way Alex will be at the Crows next year. I couldn't be clearer than that," he said.
His camp is eager for the trade with the Dogs to go through but Adelaide is intent on securing the No. 13 pick that Luke Beveridge's side holds.
It means there is a chance he could be forced into the national draft, where his former side Gold Coast could secure him.

We have nothing to bargain with even if we wanted to play hard ball as they are out of contract, playing VFL and other clubs know we want to clear some TPP space. But as I said in another thread, we're playing the long game by putting each player's interests first. It won't surprise me if this time next year we're bringing in another free agent who chooses us based on our club culture.

Hopefully that's the case MT

I'm not disagreeing with that but as a team we need to keep on evolving to stay on top. Look at our deficiencies no matter how minor they appear and try to address them as we're going to have a big target on our back again next year as we did in 2018. You can already see some opposition clubs planning to copycat us with their trading. They are also going to spend the next 6-12 months trying to pick us apart.
Putting high amounts on pressure at clearances doesn't mean we can't develop tactics to win more clearances without weakening the defensive team pressure we're famous for. In the Granny, we destroyed the Giants around the ball after 1/4 time. We did the same to Geelong and Brisbane after half-time in those finals. Richmond being capable of winning the ball both at the source and on the turnover would have been the most frightening thing to see for opposition clubs watching. We conceded just 8 goals combined after half-time during the finals while kicking around 25 ourselves. That's scary for non-Richmond supporters.

What a basketcase Essendon is. Forcing players to stay against their will. But what do you expect from a club that deludedly believes it's top 4 material and still thinks its drug saga was a conspiracy and not their fault ::). Be hilarious if Daniher walks as a free agent next year. They're not going to get two top 10 picks as compo.

Not that I give a poo but about Essendon but they are seriously delusional.
Joe Daniher has played 11 games in 2 years and kicked 15 goals.
He averages under 2 goals a game as a key forward in his 7 years at AFL level.
That is worse than Josh Jenkins FFS!
If Essendon think he is worth more than picks 5 and 9 this year, they are dreaming.
He doesn’t even want to play for them!!
I hope he leaves next year as a FA and Essendon get what they deserve by the AFL.
Essendon might feel like they held strong today but let’s see how they feel this time next year.

Essendon, what a draft period. Fantasia tries to get out, can't, and Essendon are stuck with a forward pocket that can't get a kick. Their FF who hasn't played in 2 years and is on $900k wants out and they stuff that up too.
It could get ugly. If I was Worsfold I would stick him in the ruck, seeing as though there isn't much point in preserving him, and even though it would probably backfire when he likely gets a mystery injury that requires him to sit out the season.
But really, did they think Sydney of all clubs are going to overrate their list and spend 2 first rounders like they did? :lol

If that's true, no wonder GWS constantly have a cap problem..... :shh
... while Aiden Bonar comes relatively as a steal – despite having to carry a wage close to $500,000.

Sydney also confirmed pick 5 was never offered to Essendon for Daniher
Essendon opened negotiations stating that pick 5 and another first rounder wasn't enough - so they never had the chance to offer it as I understand.

Got to love all the Saints supporters ringing up SEN this morning saying they are now going to win the flag next year :lol.

Media all had us as flag favourites for next year especially with Rance coming back , then WC get Kelly and they're suddenly now favourites...despite the fact everyone already knew they would be getting him a year ago... :shh

Perfect. The more we get written off, the more likely we are/sweet it will be.
I couldn't a flag being more delicious than 2017.
Then 2019 came along....

Can't understand all the love for the cats trades.They lost a 24 year old gun midfielder one of the best in the competition and there midfield is already slugggish, media not even mentioned it huge loss.They got pick 14 and 24 and a first round next year which could be in the twentys eagles improvement and academy's.That aren't great reading in a even draft not even a top 10 pick.

People keep saying Jack Martin can just walk into the PSD but wasn't the PSD scrapped last year? :huh

Didn’t we draft aarts last year in the PSD?
Pretty sure it’s still going.

PSD still exists
And Aarts we took as a rookie

Wasn't a PSD last year....pretty sure it was replaced by the Pre-Season Supplemental Selection Period which we used to get Stack & Weller... :shh
-
There can be a preseason draft if a club(s) with an available spot on their list wants to participate in it.
If all of the clubs rule themselves out then the PSD isn't held that year.

No PSD still exists as per the above
Rookie draft takes place straight after.
The PSSSP opens after the rookie draft and runs through until just before the season proper

Any interest in delisted free agents?
Wylie Buzza could be cheap KPF/2nd ruck depth after being dropped by Cats. Had a decent few years in the VFL kicking goals and rucking.
Michael Hartley possibly going to be dumped by Dons too, as cheap KPD depth could be useful.
-
No thanks, players that are top 18 at another club or go the kids, we have the recruiting and development skills these days
In Balmey we trust

I hope Gold Coast draw a line in the sand and re-draft Martin in the PSD. Just to screw Carlton good and proper.

Melbourne will otherwise

Gotta pay him $600k+ and he's worth maybe half to two thirds of that?

Bennell says he has met with six clubs including Sydney.
In Bennell’s favour is the extra access clubs now have to acquiring talent and recent success stories in the form of Richmond pair Sydney Stack and Marlion Pickett.
The Swans, or any other club, can sign Bennell as a delisted free agent or in the new pre-season supplementary selection period as a rookie.
The latter means a club would be able to see if Bennell got through an intense pre-season program before making an official commitment.

Wobbles judt delisted Crocker....hope we're having a look.....has attitude issues mainly due to the fact his old man's been slowly dying from early-onset Alzheimer's for about the last decade but been following him since his draft year and when he gets it all together the kid can play.... :shh
-
Talk of Bennell ending up at the Dees. Apparently toured Melbourne yesterday.
Sounds like we're not interested after what happened last time.
-
Nor should we be interested in Harley, once bitten.

Hope he gets rookied for a year, plays half a great season, earns a 2-3 year extension on good coin, then does his calf again.

Sam Murray
The former Magpie and Swan can start training with an AFL club from December 17, following his 18-month ban after cocaine was detected in his system in a match-day test. Melbourne, Richmond, Greater Western Sydney and North Melbourne are believed to be among the parties to have shown interest in Murray. Expect the dashing defender to be on an AFL list in 2020.

Melbourne has reportedly set up a meeting with delisted Magpie Sam Murray.
The speedy defender has interest from multiple clubs after being cut by the Pies and AFL Media is reporting that he will meet with the Demons.
The report adds that GWS, Richmond and North Melbourne have also inquired about the defender.

Prefer Crocker to Murray...don't need another turnover merchant bringing it out of the back half, already have Short for that role. :shh

What is it you see in Crocker? Agree his personal situation has had an impact however he is just an average player with no standout strengths. We certainly don't need a one dimensional slow HFF player disrupting our Premiership game style :shh

I'd be more worried if you rated him... :shh :shh

His uncle said he is going to Freo a couple of weeks ago. I’m not sure if he just assumed so or he was given a definitive offer.
-
Yes in an era where speed is the hottest commodity one club might sign him as a DFA but only after that same club was offered him for a late pick and preferred to trade a higher pick for James Aish instead ... :biglaugh
-
BTW latest reports are that Freo have gone cold on Connor and the mighty Werribee are into him...so looks like Machine might get his wish and his boy will still be a Tiger after all.... :clapping :gotigers :shh

Carlton is willing to pay Jack Martin $1m for his first season :gobdrop. Compare that to us getting an experienced gun key forward in Tom Lynch for less :lol.
Carlton's gaping salary cap hole in 2020 will see pending recruit Jack Martin demand around $1million for his first season in navy blue.
Martin delisted himself from Gold Coast on Monday, nominating terms for a new home in the upcoming NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft.
It is believed the five-year contract request is valued at close to $650,000 per season.

Obviously GC players just expect $1 mill a year and flags when they leave the club.
We might have ruined it for the rest of the comp :rollin

Sam Murray met with Greater Western Sydney and Melbourne in recent weeks and received some interest from reigning premier Richmond and North Melbourne.
He is able to train with an AFL club from December 17 and can play from February 17, when his 18-month ban ends for cocaine being detected in his system in a match-day test.

Delisted Richmond premiership player Jacob Townsend looks set for an AFL lifeline, with Essendon set to give him a new home.
But AFL.com.au understands the 26-year-old, who gained a reputation as a hard nut for Greater Western Sydney before his stay at Richmond, is on the radar of the Bombers to add to their list before the start of next season.
Townsend was spotted meeting with the Bombers at their Tullamarine headquarters last week.

Out of curiosity, our most prolific trading partner over the past decade was Adelaide (5 trades).
Conversely, we didn't trade with Essendon at all over the past decade ;D.

With Rance retired we have big space in our salary cap again. I expect us to be big players in trades over the next 2 years.
-
Gutted. He doesn't have to be paid does he? Why didn't he retire BEFORE the trade period???
-
Yes agree if he was going to retire he should have done it much earlier as we would have known.
I hope the salary cap relief is immediate and surely they shouldn't have to pay him out.
Use the money to go after a free agent next year
-
does anyone feel his career is unfulfilled
i do
Gutted!!

I can't help but feel he'll be back

I can't help but feel he'll be back

Andrew Gaff is unconcerned his upcoming contract discussions could be a distraction, with his main focus on hitting the scoreboard more often.
The 27-year-old signed a massive six-year deal with the Eagles at the end of 2018, but it contains a clause that enables him to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this year.
