[one-eyed]

AFL.com.au’s Mitch Cleary is hearing that West Coast’s out-of-contract Andrew Gaff and to a lesser extent, GWS star Dylan Shiel, are on the radar of the Swans.

Andy Maher on SEN said he's heard a rumour that Sydney has offered Dylan Shiel one million dollars p.a. for 7 years.

Asked on Mix 94.5 Perth if he will be playing for West Coast next year, Andrew Gaff said: “I hope so. “It’s still something that we’re working through with the management and the club.

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.

Interesting.
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).

Trade Moore? He has no upside with us??

The Sydney Swans could emerge as a new, genuine contender for star free agent Andrew Gaff.

Both Western Australian clubs are growing increasingly confident in their pursuit of Rory Lobb.

“My understanding is at least two clubs are seriously thinking about taking a punt on Jarryd Roughead next year,” Sam Landsberger told Fox Sports News’ AFL Tonight.

GOLD Coast could be set to lose another star this trade period with Aaron Hall being linked to a move to Victoria. Hall has been linked to a move to North Melbourne.

David King on SEN just now said Carlton has "thrown the sink" at Dylan Shiel.

Collingwood defender Tom Langdon could be set to play his last game in black and white.

The Herald Sun is reporting the out of contract defender and the Pies are yet to agree on a new deal with a pay gap between the two parties.

They also believe rival clubs are monitoring the situation and are keen to swoop if Langdon should decide to seek a new home.

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.

With the arrival of Polec & the pursuit of Gaff & Hall, could a reshuffle be on the cards @ North Melbourne? It’s understood TODD GOLDSTEIN’s name has been linked with a move to GEELONG.

Manger Tom Petroro was reportedly spotted meeting for coffee with a senior Geelong official recently. It’s understood North are desperate to retain the services of young ruck Braydon Preuss, who has been linked to a move.

Chad Wingard contemplating a $850K a year 6 year deal at Doggies....now thats a enough to make you go woof woof woof.

Fasolo and McGovern deciding on what numbers they will wear at Carlton and whilst i'm on the #BlueBaggers they are going harder than any other club at the minute.

The biggest surprise Collingwood trade might be Thomas back home to GCS for plenty.

I suspect the Saints will get trumped on Dan Menzel by the #BlueBaggers Chicken told you first ......i dreamt last night he toured the #BlueBaggers later this week then i realised it wasn't a dream.

Duryea probably the hardest chased player at moment with 3 Vic Clubs circling.

Demons will iron out a few Buggs by shifting one West.
