Essendon has previously shown some interest in the South Australian product, but neither Adelaide nor Port Adelaide is expected to be interested this time around.

The Roos are also certain to select on-ball ace Jason Horne-Francis with their first pick this year, even if it follows potential bids on father-son prospects Nick Daicos (Collingwood) and Sam Darcy (Western Bulldogs).
Dumont finished top five in North Melbourne’s best and fairest award in 2018-19 but fell out of the midfield rotation this year and played almost exclusively as a wingman.

Hmm I can think of a club's midfield that fits that exact profile. They wear blue and white. Pretty sure the colours are striped. Vertical stripes that is. And with hopefully temporary pinstripes.Have said this elsewhere but he would be a solid citizen in a midfield crying out for a defensive runner to provide some cover for more offensively minded players.
I agree. He is a better ball winner than HewettI’d say dumont would be better for the blues than hewett
Would love to keep him but seems like the writing is on the wallHmm I can think of a club's midfield that fits that exact profile. They wear blue and white. Pretty sure the colours are striped. Vertical stripes that is. And with hopefully temporary pinstripes.
I don’t see the point of the question. Considering a trade is a magnitude of difference from doing a trade.
And why would you trade the best player ever at the peak of his powers?
I just don’t understand the point of your question.
No, Hewett a significant upgrade on Dumont. IMHO - and clearly the HO of all the other clubs, too.I’d say dumont would be better for the blues than hewett
Like a million years ago.Mitch clark wanted to go to Perth too
Strong disagree but that’s cool. I think dumont is exactly what they need. Hard working grunt work two way runnerNo, Hewett a significant upgrade on Dumont. IMHO - and clearly the HO of all the other clubs, too.
Constable’s a plodder
I cannot see Goldy getting traded at all.
I’d say dumont would be better for the blues than hewett
Before you lot of dills out there start even thinking about trading Goldie, please look at the last six years of trade threads and how silly those posters looked who proposed getting rid of him when he inevitably followed up with stellar season after stellar season.
Post about Goldie trades at your own peril.
There is worse than him still on our list worthy of delisting .Have said this elsewhere but he would be a solid citizen in a midfield crying out for a defensive runner to provide some cover for more offensively minded players. Gold Coast would release Touk Miller to get more forward of the footy, GWS defensive cover for Kelly and Taranto, Blues as a defensive centre man and cover for Walsh. There is a career there, and ideally he is an inside mid IMO. Obviously lacks the tricks of the elite but he has always done pretty well under a ruckmans nose.
Watching this with great interest. Would prefer to keep him though and let him tag or sweep stoppages in the centre
Go easy on HamThere is worse than him still on our list worthy of delisting .
Man, seeing Froggy leave is gonna make me so sad. So underrated.

Also I am pretty sure it’s a contract user for Goldie and he tends to play even better in those years.Before you lot of dills out there start even thinking about trading Goldie, please look at the last six years of trade threads and how silly those posters looked who proposed getting rid of him when he inevitably followed up with stellar season after stellar season.
