Not going to be the end of the world GWS has a great list and HH,Finlayson &Riccardi are enough tall fowards with Greene also plays tall

If i am GWS list manager
top 10 pick + Sam Dekoning is what i would DEMAND
Pulling a Victorian kid out of a Victorian club, when he has a brother playing in Melbourne also - that's pretty hard to do. He was pretty raw in his draft year, and arguably where the Cats took him was a bit early IMHO.

We can ask, we can demand, but ultimately we cannot force any player to move if he doesn't want to.

If we do lose Caldwell too and have 4-5 picks before about 25, that's a lot of youth brought in at once, so understandably getting 1 or 2 with any sort of experience is a bonus, so it's the right idea IMV. But as Port showed, youth can rejuvenate the list and push it upwards to better results if given a chance.

GWS weakest area is their defence and not going to get any better with Corr leaving, He would be the #1 player i would be looking to bring into the club not another mid. Regarding the vic comment atleast 50% of GWS would be Victorians and this is no different and who knows maybe go after his brother in a couple of years

No risk, Cameron wouldn’t last past pick 1 and I doubt he will want to go to a bottom club.
"With the ?th pick in the draft, North Melbourne's war chest selects Jeremy Cameron."
 
Yeah right, that reporter is a ****wit. Cats are going to send Jezza to the ND or PSD where they get last or second last pick, and other clubs with lots of $ would be happy to pay him even more than Cats.

Smacks of distress that GWS are not playing the game the way a Vic club wants. And they don't like it! footstomp!

just got a message from an old friend:


Feel free to post a screen shot of this to the 2020 Draft, Academy, Trade Thread;

Who the f*ck is giving air time to that Mr Magic plonker? I’ve seen some delusional sh*t on that board over the years, but he’s by far the worst.

Just kick the moron off the board already.

Yours Sincerely,

inamedthegiants, MelbourneGiant, and any other of the 9 accounts I’ve been banned from who’s names I’ve forgotten.

So do we. Pick 9 is nowhere near enough, and Cats fans will agree when they remember what that demanded for Kelly.
Exactly.

I would be demanding 2 first rounders and maybe another sweetner as well.

I think its time that the GWS stood firm and not fall for any "We will walk him to the PSD" crap that will come your way at some stage.

I am not sure what picks Geelong have in this years draft but I hope the GWS list manager is asking for both of their first 2 picks and maybe a player.

If Geelong start making noises about the demand being to much, just remind them of how they made the WCE bleed last year.
 

Interest in Tom McDonald

Wouldn’t say no, would create an interesting fight for position.

As long as we don’t over pay

Would be good get. Could be used as a key defender too.

So, Saints board ITK reckons that Caldwell has told GWS that's he's off to them - just wants to tell a few teammates first, before it's announced. I guess we'll see soon enough.

If so, it's better than heading to Essendon - that would be a shitfight and a half. First round pick, neat, thanks.
Well this is now clearly untrue, if he had told the Giants he was going yesterday morning, it would definitely be announced by now. (he still may well go to the Saints, but the informed them yesterday thing is clearly false)
The latest news is that they are out of the race (again this may not be true either), Id hope he doesnt go to Essendon.
 
Interesting scenario it creates if someone like McDonald might want to go to you guys on very high wages, and someone like Higgins wants to come to us, on high wages.

There could be a way here where essentially everyone wins.

First of all, I know I jumped the gun last time in regards to the GWS public meeting. I stand by I didn't like the optics as a whole (no matter who it was or what club). With that said, I was pretty over the top, so I want to apologize for that.

With that out of the way, here's my proposal:

Higgins on 600K
McDonald on supposedly 700-800K
Cameron being offered 750-850K

4 clubs in North, Cats, Giants and Melbourne get involved and help out each other with various benefits being incurred.

Net end result is -

North: give up Higgins & 1 MIL-1.1 MIL - 700/800K K for McDonald and 300K for Higgins - & receive our First Rounder - Pick 11 or 13 (they have so much cap that they might not even be able to meet the minimum - especially with Brown going)

Melbourne: Salary dump of McDonald, paying none of his contract, for our pick 33

Geelong: Give up pick 11 or 13, Pick 33, receive Cameron and Higgins

Giants: Give up Cameron, receive McDonald for nothing, and gain Pick 9 - effectively gaining a high pick, a replacement key swingman and 750K of cap space

*********************

Raw Trade Outline:

Geelong:

OUT: Pick 11 or 13, 33
IN: Cameron, Higgins

North

OUT: Higgins, 1 MIL-1.1 MIL
IN: Geelong Pick 11 or 13

Melbourne

OUT: McDonald and 700K+
IN: 700K freed up in salary cap, Geelong Pick 33

Giants

OUT: Cameron
IN: McDonald (salary paid) Pick 9 compo, an extra 750K+ salary space

***********

Satisfies a need for everyone, whilst Giants get a replacement player for no salary and utilizes the compo pick effectively

North get absolutely screwed on that. Higgins for 11 would be a good deal (only because of age), throw in having to pay all that extra salary though makes it very unattractive. Probably close enough to fair for us, freeing up cash prob makes it a good deal, very good deal for Geelong, Melbourne prob okish (depending on their salary cap position)
 


He be gone.

We have gone from zero first rounders to anything between 3 to 6

This is turning into a horrible trade period.
I think we need to turn these picks (and free cash) into an established player or 2 as well as early picks.

I think we'll get a first rounder for Jye and a sweetener,
