Anybody interested in Tim Membrey or Dean Towers from the Swans? what would they be worth?
Yep, Membrey looks handy. Really tidy hands. I think he'll become a good 3rd tall / midfield rotations player for the Swans, and they won't give him away, but realistically he is well back in line behind all that tall timber and a quality midfield. Towers I haven't seen much of, but really, how much worse than most of the current lot could he be?

No way in hell any club would pick up a player returning from mental illness against his wishes.

The publicity would be beyond horrendous - not to even mention the other potential repercussions.

I would really like to get Peter wright in the draft and I can only see this happening if we can get your first pick.
Would you consider Our First round - Horlin Smith - Mitch Brown for Pick 3?
It'll take your first round, Motlop, Duncan and a promise in writing from all of Johnson, Bartel and Selwood that they will cease and desist in their largely successful attempts to con and prey on the mentally infirm and gullible umpires.

Yeah I really like the idea of Membrey as a 3rd tall behind Hogan and someone else long term (possibly McCartin)
Towers was a mature age pick 20ish 2 years ago, he'll walk into our lineup, he's just struggling to get games ahead of Sydney's mids

Probably 16 and Guthrie and someone from the VFL like hunt

We got Tyson and 9 for 2 so you guys would have to be around that mark
The deal was ..

In a deal that unfolded at AFL House on Friday morning, the Demons gave up picks No.2, No.20 and No.72, receiving Tyson and picks No.9 and No.53.

so forgetting the real late picks , the deal was Tyson and 9 <> 2 and 20.

Secondly Tyson had only his draft rating going for him , he had basically done little In 2 years he played 10 and 3 games. Guthrie has currently played 60 odd.

If Roos could get Guthrie he would be very happy to give up 2 and probably icing. Id say it will get used on on some less experienced GWS kid again like Jacsch.

Guthrie is a good footballer but there's no chance we'll give up pick 2 for him. We'd need to have a player with elite potential coming in, which I don't think he has.

I like Guthrie don't get me wrong, but P2 for him, possibly even more? Keep dreaming. Last year we targeted players like Sloane, Rockliff, Shiel, just to name a few, I don't think Guthrie is in that same echelon.

Do you guys think Blease will stay?
Seemed to show a bit last year with his pace.
He would be handy for us and could play Matty Whites spot. Something that we have missed this year.

Jack Watts has played nearly 100 games. He must be worth pick 1 and 2.

Can't see Blease on our list next year so you are more than welcome to him, he has awesome speed but just doesn't get the football enough and when he does he usually butchers it.

I'd laugh if they picked him up. Would confirm Richmond's status as grifter carnie folk continually sifting through our trash for hidden treasure.

In a room all filled with Chinese lamps
He saves what others throw away
He says that he'll be rich some day
