Adelaide re-sign Porplyzia and Talia.

Dawes a wanted man

It's believed that Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs are firmly in the mix. The retirement of Barry Hall has left a vacancy at the Bulldogs, and the Demons are keen to ease the focus on Liam Jurrah.

The Bulldogs and Demons could entice the Magpies into a deal, having accrued extra draft picks from losing players to Greater Western Sydney. The Bulldogs received one first-round selection for Callan Ward. The Demons were given two for Tom Scully

Why would he want to come to us?

From Premiership contender (and I dont see the Pies sliding in 2012) to a team that most likely wont make the 8

Young quality tall forwards are as rare as hens teeth, so you would assume the Pies would place more focus on resigning him rather than a mid

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

I think he would be best suited for Carlton, who's forward line can seem like a shambles.

Giving up our Ward pick for him instead of a future youngster, would be a very silly move IMO.

I think its highly likely we could get someone from the VFL to be a crash and bash clutz of a long target and pay peanuts for him.

Hell, Panos is a pretty good mark and a lovely kick. You reckon Panos could kick 23 goals in a season on the end of Collingwoods midfield? you bet he could.

He only has to block for Cloke and crash packs for the smalls to be judged a pass.

For what Dawes would offer us as a side, we'd have to pay overs for him - wouldn't be worth it (an anti-moneyball trade).

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

I would have Dawes no worries but not for the price that would have to be paid. I think the Pies would actually be licking their lips at the prospect of trading him and making out like bandits. Keefe will take his spot and they would lose little.

Be better to chase Keefe.

The Sunday Times reports ( WA paper )

" The West Coast push for a Premiership before the looming retirement of Cox , Glass and Embley means the Eagles could target an experienced midfielder in trade week , while a deal to aquire Western Bulldogs forward Josh Hill is also likely " .

They're not called West Coke for nothing

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

With Embley probably nearing retirement and Mark Nicoski having perhaps 2-3 year left as well I can see the theoretical attraction of Josh as a flank/outside player to replace them. Who knows they may not have seen Sunday's game, or they may feel that they can turn him around.

If they are on the hook, what do we want that they would give up?? I know that we were reported to look at Matt Rosa last year, is this a possibility?? How about Scott Lycett, the Ruck forward who played against us? Might he be an option to address our Ruck/Fwd concerns?

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

I love how fans want to trade out guys they don't rate at all for stuff they really rate like high picks or promising players. My favourite was on facebook. I don't remember the exact words but not exagerating someone said 'we need to trade duds like Hill and Stack for some really early draft picks'. Oh man I can't believe it's that easy.

Step 1- Offer duds
Step 2- Find club who really doesn't get they are duds but thinks they are stars in the making while also believing early draft picks are not valuable
Step 3- Premierships ahoy!

Hey stupids, do it!

My favourite is where fans package up 4 or 5 of said list clogging duds and then want to trade them to a club in exchange for a superstar. Somehow it always seem to involve Collingwood.

I.e. "we need a gun ruckman, we should trade Sydney McCarthy, Dick, S Buckley, and McCaffer for Mumford, we can even throw in Wood as a sweetener if they want"
