The difference is Melbourne don't want picks. They want experienced players, therefore I very much doubt they want to lose probably their best player at this point.St Ick wrote:I am actually thinking Dees will consider it. If they believe Dawes is worth 13, they may consider 13 and Farren is fair for Frawley.
Think about it, whilst Chip is contracted, he could just say he is going to walk anyway once he is out of contract via FA, just like Tippett has done. They are rebuilding and wont challenge in the next two years. Dawes is contracted too so its well aware of contracted players leaving.
Finally, I know Im rambling but as much as I want Caddy, Stevens and Frawley are a much better combination if you ask me!

Didn't Moloney win the B&F two years ago? He is pretty decent and they let him walk. They are getting a reputation of losing good players. When there was a rumour about Sylvia going either the Dees or his manager were real quick to say that one was BS...with that in mind, has there been anyone publicly deny it. Until its given the 'no effing way' treatment by his manager or Melbourne, then I will believe its a chance.mad saint guy wrote:What evidence is there that Melbourne or Frawley would entertain the idea of a trade?
A young tall defender at an excellent size with huge talent is not the kind of asset Melbourne would be looking to get rid of. He is one of the few players they have that consistently performs well at AFL level and is the kind of player you can build a defence around.
If he is available, then St Kilda should be doing everything in their power to get him. But I see absolutely no evidence of this and I don't see a trade happening.
Moloney was a free agent who had a crap year, has discipline problems and will be 29 next season. He was one of the better players at Melbourne but not the type they'd desperately hold onto while rebuilding. Frawley is a contracted gun key defender with 7+ years of very good footy left in him and seems to be one of the young leaders at the club. Very different cases there. Along with Grimes, Watts, Clark and Trengove, Frawley would be in the top priority category for Melbourne. No way would they take a full forward who kicked 16 goals in 23 games and a wingman who couldn't hold a spot in a team that missed the finals for Frawley.St Ick wrote:Didn't Moloney win the B&F two years ago?

Also, Ray is experience and still has 5 very good years left. In effect, Dawes and Ray for Frawley doesn't sound entirely beyond the realm of impossibility... let me dream for 5 minutes at least!
Was guys rest the one who did a number on BJ when we played them? If so get him just for the Essendon game!andrewg wrote:Gysbetts looks good but not as a bash and crash clearance player, seems more outside. Caddy looks to be a big body, wins footy inside, tou as nails.
