Doesn't anyone else think it's odd that the only team to reportedly be speaking with Stevo, is us? If he was that gettable, wouldn't other clubs with better prospects (at least in the short term) be into him?

Stephenson trained with North as an 18yo and was hoping pre draft to be taken by the Roos he may feel less apprehensive about coming to us than any other club.
 

Treloar does medical at Dogs, Stephenson talks with North
By Michael Gleeson and Sam McClure
November 10, 2020 — 6.37pm



Collingwood midfielder Adam Treloar has done a medical at the Western Bulldogs while teammate Jaidyn Stephenson has met with North Melbourne as he considers his future.

Treloar met with the Bulldogs at a discreet location away from Whitten Oval on Tuesday and had a medical after meeting with coaches and key staff.

The Dogs wanted to assess the player's hamstrings in particular after he tore the hamstrings of both legs last year in an unusual incident and then tore a hamstring this year.

The results of the medical will be known on Wednesday and will determine whether the Dogs pursue talks with Collingwood for the player who is contracted for five more years with the Magpies on about $900,000 a year.

The Dogs also wanted to understand Treloar’s personal situation with his partner Kim Ravaillion moving with their young baby to Queensland next year for her to play netball on the Gold Coast.

Treloar has reportedly indicated he now considers it unlikely that he could return to Collingwood but he wants to play for a Victorian club and preferably one in finals or flag contention.

The Dogs say any move for Treloar is independent of a decision on Josh Dunkley after their midfielder asked to be traded to Essendon.

It is not inconceivable, but it is unlikely, the Bulldogs would trade for Treloar and still hold onto Dunkley.

Sources suggest they have sufficient salary cap space for the two players but the very fact of bringing in Treloar would mean there would be even more pressure for time playing on the ball next year and Dunkley had said time spent playing on the ball was a prime reason for his interest in a move to Essendon.
The Bulldogs are increasingly frustrated that the Bombers have offered a contract to their contracted player to encourage him to leave the club but to date have offered only a pick that they do not yet have – pick eight that Essendon will almost certainly get from Carlton as part of any exchange still being negotiated for Adam Saad.

Essendon has not offered either of the picks - six or seven – that they already have in the draft for Dunkley.

Meanwhile, former rising star winner Stephenson has spoken with North Melbourne about a possible trade.

Stephenson is contracted to Collingwood but the club has been open to the idea of him looking elsewhere if it delivered them the right deal. Stephenson had initially insisted he wanted to remain at Collingwood and rediscover his best form but he agreed to speak with North this week and explore the option.

Stephenson has had a difficult past two seasons with a gambling suspension last year then glandular fever this year leading to a drop in his form. He was dropped late in the year.




POUNCE!

Offer them 11 for 65% of his contract, or 20 for the lot!

I don’t think it’s reasonable to equate Stephenson and Brown. Brown arrived late to AFL level, really announced himself in 2014, and was in the top couple of goal kicking forwards in the competition in 2917, 2018 and 2019 before one down and injury-interrupt season. Stephenson had a great first year in a team that performed very well and was unlucky not to win the flag,but has done almost nothing for two years since then and last year was regularly dropped for his lack of impact. I would definitely give him a go if the trade price was right but his track record is not convincing, so it would be all about hoping he recovers the form that saw him described as the most talented player in his draft and then took him to a rising star in 2017. Maybe with the gambling stupidity and the glandular fever behind him he can do that, and if so it would be fun to watch him do it for us.

You know it's desperate times when pages of discussion surround a bloke that could barely get a game for the Pies is somehow interesting.
You should see the jizzfest on the * board over a bloke who played NEAFL the last 2 years. I suggest to wear a face shield
 
I hope we stand firm and not be push overs in this trading period.
Melbourne got pick 31 for Preuss. They'll probably offer that for Brown.

If I recall properly, Preuss was under contract, and we sent him to Melbourne for Dom Tyson AND we still had to give them a sweetener of pick 62. It seemed a bad deal at the time, and it still is.

Melbourne have picks 26, 31, 33, 43, 50.
If we don't get at least picks 26 and 31 for Brown, it's another bad trade by us.

Also reported we rejected Geelong's pick 38 for Higgins.
I'd rather keep him than have that pick.
Geelong have picks 13, 15, 20, 38, 96.
They are going to have to send 15 and 20 to GWS for Cameron, and probably want to keep pick 13. GWS have 10, 44, 52... they might send 44 back?
So the best Geelong can offer is will be 38, 44, 96. Even a combination of those is bad.

The only way I can see us "winning" is we can somehow get pick 14 from the Bulldogs, as they will have to use it anyway on their academy player. That's 1161 points. If we can end up with:
2, 11, 26 (Melb), 28, 31 (Melb), 38 (Geel), 70, 71

26 - 729 points, 28 - 677 points and give them to the Bulldogs for #14, then we could end up with 2, 11, 14, 31, 38.

We need to try to get as many picks as we can in the top 20, and hope we can get 2 or 3 200 game players.

Might be part of the Treloar trade if they go for it tomorrow.
