did i hear Peter Street?

[lamby29]

pick 20 + Wheatley for Jacobs.

DJ was bloody awful last night, but I would still love him at Melbourne.

[chiliboy]

I can tell you right now,

Melbourne will be trying heavily to get Jacobs or Henneman..

[vicpride99]

McGrath, interesting, i don't think anyone would want him.

Please not Henneman.

Would love jacobs though

[vicpride99]

yeah can't stand Henniemen, can't ruck and i dought his worth as a player. Is he a backman or what.

[The invisible mullet]

he's a what

Blues might be interested in Henneman but his trade value is pretty low. he makes trent Hotton look like an All Australian

[TheMightyDons]

I would take the Geelong offer if Jacobs can't be used to get Brown from the Dogs.

Wheatley and pick 20 ---> No Thanks.

chilliboy, what could melbourne possibly offer that would get Essendon interested?

[bozza]

DANNY JACOBS

If Geelong want DJ give us pick 6, not pick 22 & a slow midfielder.

If Melbourne want DJ, give us Pick 5 & Scott Thompson, we will give you Henneman as well.

If Port Adelaide want DJ, take a 3rd round pick as well, give us Nick Stevens.

For...?

(I'll take virtually anything, although you have to remember, he does has the ability to accumulate a monstrous 47 hit-outs in the one game ;))

[TheMightyDons]

NO, NO STREET. One good game in 5 years against a midget rucking brigade. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

No ****ing way.

[Moo://_Cow]

Geelong don't need Jacobs, They have Harley.

Peter Street + David Clarke for Mcgrath?

[jivinivan]

I second that Lamby29,

but i would like jacobs in the team...

Looks as like we won't be dealing with Melbourne then:cool:

I don't want either of them. Henneman's a hack and Jacobs would cost 3 times more than he's worth.

Essendon players who interest me are Mark Johnson, Jason Johnson, Cupido, Rioli and Harvey. Harvey would be a good get and would come fairly cheaply.

I'm interested in Jacobs, but asking for a top 5 pick AND Scott Thompson (future captain) is just ridiculous.

Mark Jamar or Jeff White in a straight swap?

[Broadbridge_20]

Hypothetical, what would Bombers fans think of this.

Mark Johnson, Jason Johnson, Damian Cupido, Damian Peverill and Shane Harvey

for

Pick #5, Jeff White, Brad Green, Russell Robertson and James McDonald.

Would you do it?

No. I don't support Essendon but my respect for the Essendon players you listed is far superior tothat of the Melbourne players you listed. Essendon would be crazy to do that trade.

No. Jamar is too slow, besides we have enough emerging ruckmen. Jacobs should not be tradeable. Bolton and Henneman should be shown the door well before him.

Fair enough. Would it make any difference if we added in pick 3 and you added Rioli?

[Demon37]

Originally posted by stefoid

He is dominating at VFL level every week, and still can't get a game.

He will want to leave eventually, unless we get rid of White at the end of the year.

[stefoid]

I heard he was a big grab. How is he filling out body-wise?

Maybe dogs would be smart to have a look at him. I couldnt believe we didnt pick him up in the draft.

White will be going before Jamar does.

He's coming along quite nicely. Big bodied, physical and has good hands. Looks a little slow but that can be worked on.

[benno87]

Woud love to see Danny Jacobs at North Melbourne, don't see a way we can do this by not screwing Essendon, we don't have anyone they want now Harvey signed.

and essendon are extremely hard to screw when it comes to trades...
Shane Harvey looks likelu to go to north and play with his brother though.

[Hosko]

agree absolutley

would do it in a second if it was just Street for McGrath but Clarke's salary would be a burden (he would not get a game).

how about a deal involving Drew Petrie?

[Demon37]

Chris Heffernan + Nick Smith for Jason Laycock. That's a pretty big rip off if you ask me.

we won't know that until Laycock makes his debut, but he certainly is an exciting CHF prospect, i would have said some of the other trades this year were ripoffs - but they all paid off so i have no reason to doubt the recruiting staff.

i was pretty happy to secure the best big man in the draft!

Smith has shown more than Laycock in 2003. You may be happy with Laycock, but I have no doubt Smith will be a 200 gamer for the MFC.

And then there's Heffernan...

[cjwalkley]

Bolton for Beau McDonald?

[bluechampion]

Okay... don't throw stuff.

Allan and Justin Murphy - what do you want?

Allan is a former all-australian ruck. Murphy can be very good. Sometimes. But Sheeds loves his Aboriginal players...

Straight swap with Jeff White I would take.

Close, he will be 25 next year.

[bacon buster]

yep
jacobs for white i would do

bolton for mcdonald i would do as well. how old is mcdonald though? 25-26?

wouldn't want allan, and definitely don't want that ******** murphy (justin)

I did throw Aaron Henneman in as a sweetener. Jacobs is probably worth pick 5, whilst Thompson & Henneman are of the same age, both fringe players. If Thompson was a future captain, why the **** can't he get a game then?

Jacobs for White...hmmm, interesting. Can we have a late draft pick as well?

[bacon buster]

supposedly, richmond are interested in mcgrath

Thompson has had a lot of injury problems, but these days are now behind him. He is starting to show why he was a first round draft pick, and there is no way I would even consider trading him let alone for a player like Henneman.

"Jacobs for White...hmmm, interesting. Can we have a late draft pick as well?"
Nah.

[Demon37]

Errrr.... he can. The reason he only played a handful of games this year was because he had a knee injury for a great part of the season.

Too bad they have sh it all to offer.

And they better not offer that dud Blumfield back.

3rd round picks though will be all they offer.

[Darealrath]

Jeff White for Jacobs + Henno or draftpick or whatever would be great for the Dons. Would love the chance to play Hille up forward more.

[bacon buster]

nah nah nah

they only want jacobs for white :p

Yeah, he's capable. But pick 5? Please.

Funnily enough, he's probably just what the Dogs need and pick 19 would be about the best offer you'd get for him.

He also said recently he doesn't like being second choice full back behind Fletcher.

Is a definate to be shopped around.

Jacobs is another Clint Bizzell minus the courage.

I'd consider Jacobs + Henneman for White as a last resort, but we can do better.

[TheMightyDons]

Sorry Broadbidge, but your mate lamby29 has already swapped White for Jacobs :D Personally I rate White quite highly and don't rate Jacobs as highly as many supporters do.

Jacobs' courage is fine, above average actually, it's just his decision making that is the biggest risk with him.

[Hosko]

hmmm interesting considering Kevin Sheehan has been quoted saying that Laycock was the pick of the bunch and that Laycock had a better year than Smith (see Liston Trophy) - Laycock 6 votes - N Smith 0
As for Heffernan, well you can keep him and his salary on the bottom of the ladder

[Hosko]

no thankyou, in fact i would not like to do Jacobs for White either.
Jacobs is only 23, whilst White is about 27. I'd rather trade someone like Mcgrath or Henneman and get Peter Street (23). At least his sock is not filled with blood after every match.

And how many senior games did Laycock play? I would not swap Smith for him at this stage. In 5 years maybe.

Heffernan was a shining light for us this season. He earned every cent.

Melbourne have won big time on the trade.

That will be the defining thing in 5 years to judge this deal.

We did not miss heff this year. But he did some good things for you guys no doubt.

I saw laycock kick 5 goals in a game the vfl this year and he is so agile and athletic for someone 6"6.

Nick smith is a key position player. Laycock will be a forward cum ruckman. Both teams got what they needed. Laycock would not have been around at pick 15 and essendon were really keen to get him. I think both teams will win outa this deal

[Hosko]

And how many senior games did Laycock play?
none in the senior side, needs some hours in the gym. Played most games for Bendigo if not all i would think. How many for Smith?

I agree with you. I would rather go with Street for a Mcgrath or Henneman instead of giving up Jacobs for White. Some people seem to underestimate Jacobs importance to us. Sure he had a shocker for us the other night but he is a consistent player for us generally and you gotta love his marking. Will only get better too remember. Whereas I dont think there will be any more improvement in a Mcgrath.
