That has the potential to get messy if Brisbane threatened to redraft him. Players Association may have a say there?

the way it is going, they need to scrap the draft if a 3rd year player can hold a club to ransome.

Wonder if I'd be happy with #10 for Aish if we weren't after Dixon.

* no.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

I wonder if Collingwood could be worked into the Dixon trade as Seedsman wants to go to GC and I have read that Collingwood are interested in Moore.

If GC insist on more than our first pick for Dixon, we might be able to do the deal this way. GC might need to send a 2nd or 3rd round pick to Collingwood to make it a fair deal all round.

the only way that we should be adding a player to the deal is if we remove our pick 10 and make it pick 29. Pick 10 is more than enough.

Can someone please enlighten me as to how, when, and where this 'Monfries to GWS' nonsense began?

Can someone please enlighten me as to how, when, and where this 'Monfries to GWS' nonsense began?

It started because him and Shaw are best mates

 

[Shaxx Attaxx]

Would I be right in saying Monfries would be on a bit of coin?

 

[QPower]

The way Aish has turned the playing future of a modestly performed second year player into a melodrama is poor form from him, or in Bigfooty terms, makes him a flog and a campaigner.

Depends how front loaded his contract was maybe?

400k

400k

Thought it was that. A fair bit of coin indeed.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Not that I recall.

I thought it might have been you.

One of the Vic journos started it. Brett Anderson I think.

 

[RossFC]

If we lose one or both of Young/Moore then Ballard as a DFA or Rookie should slot straight in and would cost about 100k at most.

 

[RossFC]

Thought it was that. A fair bit of coin indeed.

If we re-sign him at the end of next season I'd expect him to get a big pay cut.

the players assocation can get stuffed...so can players going into the draft if trades dont go through...once they go into the draft the first club that wants them should pick them up not leave them for their preferred club..the clubs need to take some power back.

All power with the players and stronger clubs. Not heading in good direction

Pick 10 should be enough. But if it isn't we might make a trade like I suggested.

 

[blaargh]

If we have flagged Dixon, wines and wingard as our goals this trade period, does that mean that we are expecting to have them signed up this year?

The club have been bloody good/crafty with the way they manage the social media, and creating slight expectations of imminent news would be an awesome way to start the frenzy...

Of course, we may have let the work experience kid loose on the Facebook page.

The 21 year old averaged over 24 disposals in 2014 and over 26 disposals at WAFL level in 2015.

Here is a week by week review of those 2 seasons.

Sam Grimley (24 years old) delisted by Hawthorn.

Kicked 46 goals in 21 games in the VFL this year. Wasn't able to get a game because the likes of Roughead, Gunston, Hale, Ceglar were always ahead of him.

Would be an upgrade on Shaw or Harvey and act as good depth.

Grimley is a spud. Very soft

Played against us in the last round as a sub - 6 possies

 

[rogerjames]

I love Gus but we couldn't ignore a first rounder - cant see this happening though.

In the words of a great man "Tell him he's dreaming"

Yep dreamin

I dont believe hes on that this year or next

 

[QPower]

Agree as we have so publically flagged Wines and Wingard as priorities to re-sign it invites regular questions from journos about how we are progressing.

So, hopefully something in the works.

 

[RossFC]

We front-loaded his contract then?
