Who is the running machine they are talking about? The trade primer talks about Dow, LoB, and JSOS .. are any of them running machines?

LOB's main attribute was meant to his running wasn't it? 400m champion or something.

Only other running machines are Curnow and Walsh.

LOB would be the one referenced there.

I'll take a rough stab at Cuningham.

 

[alfo]

This is massive. Welcome back MS3, just the thing I needed for a Monday.
Both clubs will absolutely want this quiet to avoid a media circus. Come trade week day 1 I'd love to have Oliver nominate us.

is contracted for 2021, but murmurs about his complicated future persist."

 

[Jeremias]

I guess so..

You missed the important bit there...

" The club insists speculation surrounding Paddy Dow's future is wide of the mark, but it's understood the Blues would consider bids for fellow top-10 pick Lochie O'Brien."

 

[Blue and Silver]

Going to be honest.

I think some of our kids might be better off going elsewhere.

Dow, LOB and Stocker may be best served by heading to teams who want to take a gamble on their talent and give them game time.

I am not sure we will be giving them opportunities unless they start slamming open the door.

I hate to lose any talent, but might be best for all parties

Okay that part may have been important.



Was 2001 that big?

 

[StandByyourMan]

Explain to me how I was being blunt? I'd be interested to know, please go ahead....

Just read what you said to me just now. Its all good man. We all on the same team. Its all good brother.

It would be LOB - not fussed. His efforts against Adelaide were laughable

Riley Beveridge from afl.com.au matching info here that he believes a Carlton Geelong pick swap will happen fairly quickly in the trade period to unlock the Saad deal.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I would hazard a guess that our 2021 first rounder would be part of any potential trade for Oliver. Ots also possible we could be part of a three way deal with Norf, Brown and picks to Melbourne, Clarry to us, LOB and picks to Norf.

Refreshing News. I will drink to that

 

[TGR]

It wasn't worth Fremantle's wile to make Neale happen, either. Collingwood didn't want to lose Beams the first time around.

What this will be is akin to the Gibbs trade; we asked for players, and Adelaide said no, so we then set our price and until they met it they didn't get him. In this situation - unlike Adelaide's, where they both waited a year too long and imploded - we have more time, we have better currency, and we've not actively sought to bring it out into the public eye (which keeps Melbourne onside).

If we wind up paying two firsts, that's fine. It's the contract amount that's troubling me.

They will be asking for more. Hence why it won’t happen. They’ll be happy for a first rounder but want an experienced player from our better group also. They think they’re in the window, they want more than kids.

 

[RPCB]

Made it safe for fans to attend matches.

Apparently we still want our heads beaten in with chairs and to be blinded by flares, you know ... like the good old days.

Just want to clarify that I was only kidding when I said that. It’s simply better for fans these days.

 

[iAsbestos]

Bloody hope we're into Dunkley..

 

[katmanblue]

Melbourne will no doubt ask for those names to be involved.

But they'll also be professional about it and look into what options there are at other clubs.

Melbourne's first pick this year is 23. That's probably going on Ben Brown

as a free agent, who also addresses a major need of theirs.

So if they turn whatever they get for Oliver into Wines and an early second, then the net result is OUT: Oliver, IN: Wines, Smith, Brown, and they've still got an early second to take to the draft. However you look at it, that's improvement - no change in the number of quality inside mids, gain a mature winger and a bona fide key forward target.

I'm tipping the reason this is being kept relatively hush hush while both parties negotiate is because Melbourne are hunting around to see what they could land with the picks we're offering for Oliver.

Isn't Smith going to Geelong?

Trade McGovern. Dees need a forward and look at6 his highlights...

What source? Just some punter or someone who would know?
