Cats would want a late first, early second for Menegola.

#8, #27 and #45 for Menegola, #15 and #37 works for me. Bombers get #15 for Saad.

We get another B+ midfielder, get Saad and retain next year's 1st rounder in a stronger draft, and enter the draft at #37.

In effect we give up our first rounder, our third rounder and downgrade our second rounder to get Menegola and Saad through the door. I'd do it.

Dunstan would fit in with the ITK poster who said we’ll be grabbing some B grade midfield depth.

B grade is a bit of a stretch for Dunstan, isn't it?

 

[Blue and Silver]

Did my usual vision watch on Dunstan.

Extremely low impact player. Would pass

 

[tragic]

If this is in relation to Williams, we can’t have front loaded his contract. As a RFA his contract has to be the same payment amount for the life of the contract. I suspect we have in fact paid more then originally speculated on here

I believe for RFA you only have to match the total figure over the length of the contract..you can structure the contract however you like

 

[HARKER]

Would like to think that we are past the stage in our rebuild where recruiting C grade depth is a thing.

Depth should now be guys that are on our list that we have drafted. It's a cyclical process, delist players, recruit good ones, others become fringe depth, and so forth.

We tried to get past that point last year but got tripped up for the non-acquisition of Papley.
We know what we want and that's already proven the point to be, for the targets/acquisitions this year.
Consolidate after this years take-ons and fine tune for requirements the next....and we'll be off and away.


Dunstan is pop-gun. We're clearing these types not taking more on.

 

[The Dochs in]

I believe for RFA you only have to match the total figure over the length of the contract..you can structure the contract however you like

I could be wrong but I don’t believe that to be correct. I’m sure I read this is an advantage to Brisbane for instance if Essendon had matched with Daniher. I could be wrong however. I’ll see if I can find the article

 

[teagueyubeauty]

I’m disappointed no one really bought up zac Williams used to barrack for carlton as a kid. I’m just finding out

They all do don’t they?

Does anyone know if there's been anymore news on Oliver or any other midfielders that we could be chasing? Been very quiet in here lately and the IDKs all seem to have gone to ground. Hopefully that's a good sign we'll complete a trifecta of new acquisitions.

 

[katmanblue]

I need Saad across the line tonight. Thanks.

Don't need Saad doin lines tonight. Or ever.

 

[Graffy4242]

Call me an eternal optimist, but I am quietly confident that progress is being made on the Oliver front, as it would have been shut down by all and sundry if the deal was 100% off.

It will obviously need a player or 2 to move to the Demons, but I believe in this instance, no news is good news.

 

[katmanblue]

I thought the seldom used c-word was credenza...

I love me a roll top.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Dunstan would be a strange choice indeed. What would it say for the likes of Dow and Stocker? That we’ve given up on them already? He’s C grade at best...

It's saying it's time for them to lift their game

 

[FairKouta]

Nick Austin saying saad and Williams were our main priority and that’s where our focus was. i have conceded we won’t get oliver. I believe he has told us he wants to come but we don’t have the trade capital imo and melbs won’t let him go without replacing him with another quality player

 

[BrownDog20]

Would be worth having a chat with Brad Gotch as well seeing he has moved on from Pies assistant role.

He will have a job in the SANFL if what I am hearing is correct.

It has been suspiciously quiet. Feel like this trade period, like most, has a massive move in it that hasn’t yet been spoken about. Seems like the status quo for the high profile types (Oliver, Wines etc.) is to stay dead quiet until there’s at least a chance that the clubs will deal.

 

[katmanblue]

Dunstan would fit in with the ITK poster who said we’ll be grabbing some B grade midfield depth.

You mean C grade?

 

[KohPhi]

If we get anyone from the Saints I hope it’s Brad Hill. Hasn’t really fit in with their style of play. We could exchange some players and help both clubs out.

next year we are a serious shout. Melbourne were never gonna trade him this offseason. Whole different ballgame with an out of contract player

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

It's saying it's time for them to lift their game

If it were a Menegola type I’d agree. If it were Dunstan then they may as well pack their bags

 

[The Return of the Paf]

Has played 80 out of a possible 83 games since being drafted.

We get that you don't rate him, but clearly there is nothing borderline about his place in our best side at all.

That would depend on how we recruit. We can't keep on trading-in/drafting the same type of players we were hoping some of our earlier draftees would become whist ignoring our other needs or ignoring pure talent. Dow was the new SPS, Walsh was the new Dow and so on... Walsh is great but is 'perhaps not the midfield bull we need'; it just keeps going on and on... I'd trade one of the former two (as well as O'Brien) before I gave away a first round draft pick, put it that way.

 

[KohPhi]

Really with everything that’s happened in 2020 and you consider this strange..

Fair call...

....Still strange

 

[KohPhi]

#8, #27 and #45 for Menegola, #15 and #37 works for me. Bombers get #15 for Saad.

Where do we sign...

 

[raymagoo]

I could say more but he stacks up and can now play literally everywhere... and all this with maybe 1 proper preseason.

I very much think it’s coming, he was great on the back end of the season

 

[Juddrockz]

If I’m GWS, I’d much rather Geelongs first 2 picks than our pick 8 with all the uncertainty in the draft.

I get the feeling the Essendon deal will be #8 for Saad and their future 2nd.

Dont think Essendon have a future 2nd?

 

[bluebaggerjuls]

Dees aren’t trading Oliver this offseason. Give it a year
