Early Trade News - Notting

[boroboy]

From the AFL Site - "Sydney coach Paul Roos declared his interest in Brisbane defender Tim Notting, who may be a victim of that club?s salary cap restrictions. However Roos downplayed his club?s interest in Essendon?s wingman Mark McVeigh, who is from Sydney"

Love the games at this time of year.

Remember Roos only had a passing interest in Davis too lol

Any player who WANTS to come to Sydney is always gonna have understated interest from the club.

Glad they're not showing interest in McVeigh.

If you read between the lines that means we want him but are not about to give up anthing lower than a late 2nd round pick.

I'd rather have Michael in the Sunday Age it was reported that he might have to leave the Lions cause of their Cap.

Out of our reach I would think.

Botting would be alright.

I would love to get Mal. Does anyone know who our main competitors for Mal would be (excluding Brisbane) should he come on the market?

[Ruda Wakening]

Believe it or not , Collingwood .

Every team in Victoria who needs a KPP backman.. melbourne, richmond, bulldogs... and of course carlton, who will take anyone.

Its 2:00pm Monday. Four days to go and this stupid time of year will all be over.

One rule applies throughout this whole week.

To get anything good, you gotta give up something good.

So if you want Mal Michael, who are you prepared to give up on our list for him, or alternatively what pick are you prepared to give up to get him?

Remember, Barry Hall cost us a first round draft pick and Greg Stafford. Michael will cost us something similar, if we are even remotely interested and if he becomes available.

Cant agree there Mark, the last thing brissie will want is a high priced player in the trade.

First round pick or 2nd round and promising (cheap) youngster. either way, doubt seriously we will play ball.

If Rawling's trade value is perceived as about 5-10th pick in the draft, what Mal Michael's trade would be? Surely it must be in that range or higher.

You would think he'll be worth even more than 5-10th pick, more like a Number 1 pick. But as everyone knows Brisbane are in salary cap hell and that pushes down the price because for Brisbane its take it or leave it and if they leave it they run the risk of losing him for nothing in the pre season draft. So he might end up being worth a late 1st Round pick at the very least.

I would put my money on him changing clubs though the draft if he was to leave Brisbane, but I think a deal will be done.

[Newbie]

Melbourne's fans are willing to sacrifice the 5th pick for Mal Michael. If there is a trade, Brisbane would go for that offer unless we could offer something better. Unless we part with something significant, like Kennelly, I dont think we could give Brisbane anything equal to that offer (Nicks + Warfe+ Seymour < 34th pick for the god's sake).

Melbourne would be quite easily accomodate Mal Michael's salary under their cap too.

We must understand that we are not in a STRONG position to trade for Mal Michael, both in term of what we have to offer and in term of the supply and demand in the market.

Let us be a bit realistic.

[omnipotent]

Melbourne's fans are not Melbourne's hierarchy. They need a tall defender but they are also keen on Nick Stevens.

[Bleed Red Blood]

When I first heard this news my first thought was 'lets trade Seymour,Warfe, Nicks and all our picks above 48 to Brisbane as we arent using them.

Then I came back to earth and realised these players and picks arent going to be wanted by the lions.

I dont think we have anything is enough for Brisbane at the moment it would have to be one of the first few picks.
