Early Trade talk - Anyone we want that may be available?

[lemmon]

What about Liam McBean? I always thought there was something to work with there at VFL level, has completely fallen off the radar

Collingwood haven given up 8 & 26 (currently) this draft won't have a pick until about 25 (from Freeman trade) and 45. I wonder if they will try to trade up the order to actually rebuild with some high end talent. Have they got anyone we would be interested in and who they'd actually give up? My thoughts are no, but I don't follow them closely.

Billie Smedts?

Broke his leg in the VFL on the weekend. That will set him back a bit.

Ben Reid is the only one I can think of that I'd like that they may be open to trade. He's a walking injury though so would come with significant risk.

Gotta get into this blokes ear.

Tom McDonald in no rush to ink new Demons deal

We need outside runners and ball users more than we need KPP at the moment IMO. I think with the system we play we could get a bargain in as well. We win the ball back so often that someone who can run and kick actually gets a bit of a free hit with us. We need another line breaker who can use the ball well and I don't reckon we need to give up much to get one.

Agreed, but would he leave his little brother alone in that pit of despair?

Why? I think he's been poor for a while now. Had an ordinary finish in 2015 and is continuing that form now. Fools gold that one.

How could you not with the there being no upside at the Dee's, he would have a totally different attitude with us and one well and truly worth pursuing.

Look i don't mind him. Price tag would be high and just don't think he'd be worth it.

Massive upgrade on Roberts and would shore up our key back issues moving forward. Just on that line breaker discussed above Crameri back next year releases Stringer to more midfield time and we look better with JJ in the team.

Brisbane have hit rock bottom yet again, 80+ point loss at home to a team with one win. Like the times before, that means former top picks walk out for a reasonably cheap price (Yeo, Polec & Doherty last time went cheap). I can't imagine we (and every other club) wouldn't be in the ears of their talented kids. With Rich signing up and Martin & Sauce no longer needed, is there anyone that fits our needs for outside pace with good foot skills? If we want a KPP, from what I've seen of McStay they're moving him around the place and giving him no continuity so I'm confused if he's really that good and being mismanaged.

I wonder about a McStay (194cm KPP) & Mayes (midfielder 80+% efficiency) package deal? (The last I heard/read neither are contracted for next year)

As an aside, I'd end the QLD experiment.

An article on afl.com.au from two weeks ago says that Dion Prestia is sitting down with his manager Marty Pask at the bye (next week) to discuss his future. If he leaves it will only be a Victorian club and he wants short term success. Time to call Marty?

Also said Hawthorn & Saints will make big offers to Jeager and that the dogs are into Nicholls. With Camhead doing its thing, I'm not sure we need to part with something decent which would be required for Nicholls.

I'd love to see Prestia in the tricoleur.

Bloody oath, I'd even take Harbrow in a package deal just to be greedy.
