Thank flower. Don't want to lose Lobbe (he's our Vice Captain - i.e. co-VC so I was surprised to hear this)

What do you think the possibility of a Toumpas for Aaron Young/Andrew Moore trade is?

Port are set to offer the GCS their 2015 & 16 first rounders to lock the deal and apparently Port want Toumpas as well (presumably to play alongside Wingard). Aaron Young and Andrew Moore want to leave and the Power didn't delist Butcher - do you think there's a chance that Hinkley held on to them to trade up to the Demons?

Roos wants a high profile mid and nothing says 'high profile' like Aaron Young or Andrew Moore, plus Butcher is as high profile as you get  :P

Eh, why not. I basically delisted Toumpas in my head mid-way through 2014, so getting something from nothing is a big win.


I was hearing about 3-way trade the other day along the lines of:

Young + third round to St Kilda

Pick 24 from St Kilda to Melbourne

Toumpas to Port Adelaide


Don't know too much about Young & Moore if I'm honest.

If this is true.... Then it looks like we'll probably end up using our first rounder in some way to pick up Carlilse :S

Like the sound of the trade. Aaron Young isn't that bad, but he doesn't fit into the Port Adelaide gameplan. Sam Gray & Brendon Ah Chee will now to the designated back-ups in the midfield and Karl Amon has done enough to get the nod ahead of Young up forward.

He really needs a trade because he's a contested mid who just cannot compete with Boak & Wines in the crash & bash role and isn't as elusive like Robbie Gray. I prefer Port focus on Sam Gray & Ah Chee as the former may lack natural talent but is a workhorse in the contest and the latter is technically advanced.

Don't see a future for Young & Moore at Port Adelaide. I can still see what Hinkley is trying to achieve with Butcher though (hopefully a 3rd tall with Dixon & Schulz and then a 2nd tall for Dixon), whether Butcher will ever be able to accomplish it is another question - he's a SANFL player imo, it has to be psychological as well because he has the same showerhouse kicking technique in the SANFL yet he still nails the goals... If the Crows pick up Mitch Harvey (the better long-term prospect) in the rookie draft, I'll be pretty disappointed  :-\

Regarding the rumoured trade, I'm hoping a return home is what Toumpas needs to get his career back on track. So far he has been just terrible for the Demons. Hopefully he's not a draft bomb because the fact Paul Roos could not utilise him is concerning - one of the most significant changes Paul Roos has made is picking the right players in the draft, something the Demons failed to do from 2009-2013 (Toumpas at pick 4 in 2013 obviously being their last 'bad' pick - everything since Viney has been good).

I hope we do, pretty sure he's best mates with Riley Knight as well.

Lol, I love that page  :P

I'd be taking Aaron Young if I was the Dee's. He's an absolute animal and a ball magnet. Replaces Cross nicely.

Been a splinter magnet for quite a while & with that now removed reckon the animal could be unleashed.

Carlton want a first round pick for Henderson...  ::)

and rightfully so. There is no way Geelong will be able to fit him into their cap or have what it takes to get the deal done anyway. A few other teams will start throwing some offers our way now.

There's no way he's worth a first rounder

He is better then Rhys Stanley and Stanley went to the Cats for pick 21. He wasn't great this year but he is not a forward, like Carlisle he is a borderline All-Australian CHB. He might not be worth a top 10 pick, but he is 100% worth a first rounder. Smart teams will play him in defense.

I think you're overrating a first rounder here.

[elephants]

Yeah I dont mind Henderson, I think he goes okay. Agree that I'd only want him in my side as a defender though.

Maybe. But i reckon he's only worth pick 20ish

not at all, first rounders are vitally important its why its such a big deal when you stuff it up.

Too little Pie talk lately - Treloar for first trade done!
