No combo for Kelly apparently. Is that true?
Not true as of now. AFL House still yet to decide any compensation or if there will be.

So likely the AFL have floated the no compensation idea and are waiting to hear what trade radio say about it, before making it official.Not true as of now. AFL House still yet to decide any compensation or if there will be.

I hope we give McAsey more time.
If we ship him off and he clicks, we will look back and wonder why we ever thought otherwise.
If it doesn’t look like it’s coming together in the next 12 months, cut our losses.
Just hold and see, nothing to lose imo. It’s not like his value is sky high right now. He has a good year and wants to leave we get a better deal.

If we could only keep one of Davis and ROC, who would people prefer?
Although Gold Coast has a better pick than us anyway, I reckon we’d be very interested in splitting 4 - we just don’t want to do it until after the Dawson deal is done, to stop Sydney benefiting from it.
Looking at the photos the club put out of the players doing weights, you can see why he is getting pushed off the ball easily. He wasn't exactly lifting big weights, particularly when compared to the other players, including TT.I don't see us moving on from McAsey this off-season. All the language around him is that he's had a steep learning curve after a challenging offseason last year and is determined to reset his course.
I think if he was trying to get home it would be pretty public by now.
Seems like a pretty focused kid, I wouldn't be surprised if he turns up on day 1 cut from glass this year. Last offseason would surely have hurt his pride!

All this week I have heard Reid talk about the need for picks at the top of the draft for elite players. I think he meant more we would rather one high pick compared to two med/high picks. Anything is possible though.
I don't think we would do the Dawson trade and then split our pick either. That would be frowned upon across the industry and make it hard in future negotiation

Saw this a while ago that the higher the pick the better chance at he jackpot. Statistically McAsey should be right

Nope, not while SOS was there, no chance.It would definitely hurt our chances to trade in the future, I imagine the negotiations with Sydney are going a little like this at the moment. People forget that part of the reason we got shafted in the Gibbs deal is because we broke the news that he wanted to come to us in 2016, if we hadn’t of done that the deal probably gets done a year earlier for a lot less.
So…No sh*t Sherlock
Amateur scouts on here only bang on about splitting/diluting our high end picks because they think they are talent gurus and every kid they see could be the one.
Trading down nabbed us Luke Pedlar the following year and we still got our target McAsey, trading up on draft night nabbed us Brayden Cook. I think there's every chance they will be the 2 outstanding recruits of our recent draft forays.So…
if you realise on the night that its pretty much a certainty the player you want with pick 4 (because you as a club have determined he is the best player available at pick 4) is actually going to still be on the board at pick 7…
You dont trade pick 4 down to get pick 7 and pick 15?…
what are you suggesting?.. that if this player in question is picked with pick number 7, and not at pick 4, his career is by some freak of nature now not going to be as good?..
glad you arent in charge of our draft strategy…
Given that reidy said the other day that we need to take stock and actually test out what we have on our list already…Trading down nabbed us Luke Pedlar the following year and we still got our target McAsey, trading up on draft night nabbed us Brayden Cook.

Don't know why I didn't quote the post I was responding to ... whoops, I'll blame it on the phone:we re-signed him this year
does that sound like we’re getting ready to ship him off?
Still reckon us trading McAsey as a compassionate trade (for a decent return though) can't be ruled out.
If we're talking about 4 trade discussions happening behind the scenes, prolly only about 1/3 or 1/4 comes off, so we might trade in 1 or 2 players at most.
Our normal MO is some player on the fringe of an existing team, not really getting an opportunity but that we've identified has potential, so I think there might be a couple of these behind the scenes, plus the more high profile rankine and cogs ones.
EDIT: I also wonder if we might have some multiclub proposals we could facilitate, ie fish to a vic team, the vic team has someone to say GC and GC send us someone we're keen on.
ANOTHER EDIT: I still have question marks over whether Berg might be a trade possibility.
Also it could be a pick around 7 and the other club's 2022 r1 pick.So…
