Because it's the silly season and it's Sunday night and because the Carlton board have been engrossed in their own PS3 trade game, what are your thoughts on Gibbs....again? He would have to be absolutely regretting his decision to stay...surely.

Probably not. He knew the list wasn't great.

No way I'd give our first pick for Menzel. He's a good player but his output isn't worthy of a first round pick
If Dangerfield goes which is highly likely IMO that will give us our 1st rounder and the compo pick, I'd do it, but really I think we should be trying to match Geelong's offer to Dangerfield and going for Geelong's 1st pick and a player [Gregson or Murdoch] at the very least, then use our own 1st round pick on Menzel??

If we could use the 1st rounder on Menzel or Scharenberg I'd go the latter every day of the week

He is impatient and frustrated with Menzel's performances

You have stated this as fact, how do you actually know this?

However I do agree that any decision to trade Menzel.will be on the basis to secure another first round pick

Also our interest in Menzel has been reported well before Redhorse's post
No worries mate. Posts like this are one of the worst things about this board. Happens to nearly anyone who reveals anything.

I spill what I can without doing enough to jeopardise receiving future information. I assume like others, what I post upfront is all I can reveal at the time.

Our interest in Menzel has been reported? I hadn't read it until today, maybe I'm just out of the loop. Plenty of rumours go around; I sought confirmation. Which is why I chased it up today - once I heard about it.

What I stated about Silvagni is what I was told today (albeit not by the person who confirmed this from our end). I posted what I was told and what I'm able to divulge. If you'd prefer me to give less information and only run with what I've got 100% direct first hand primary confirmation with, I will. But I thought it was relevant.

People consistently request people to out information and then wonder why they don't when they obtain it. Happens on nearly every board here - those who post what they here are attacked unless they can provide direct evidence, the exact evidence that would likely see them lose a source. Am I happy to share what I can? Yeah. Am I happy to ensure I never get fed information again to appease the attack dogs? Nope.

Appreciate your work Skippos, and the tidbits you and others share. Cheers!

Don't want to be greedy, but how about a triple this year. Something like:

Menzel Scharenberg Aish
Id rather it be yarran, scharenberg, bennell.
I'll be slightly more realistic and go:

Menzel, Scharenberg, R.Thompson (you can never have too many Rorys)

oh, and Nathan Wilson :)

Firstly, I don't believe this is allowed under the future pick trading rules.

Secondly, that would make it 4 years without taking a first round pick to the draft for Port. Kenny doing a Ross Lyon number on their list?
Nothing stopping a club from trading away their current and future first rounders. The only rule is you have to use 2 first rounders every 4 years. Not sure when this kicks in though.

If it's for 2012-15, we must use a first round pick this year. As must Port. And Hawthorn would have to use 2...
