Watts (pick 2 national draft)

Warnock (Pick 2 PSD)

Not Considered:

Yze, Holland, Carroll, Weetra ALL 2 BE DELISTED IMO!

Thoughts??

this is my MFC dream team, and achievable too, id be rapt with that!!

Give it a go! its damn theraputic!!

why would we get rid of pick 19????? do people not understand that this is our last chance to get young blood into the club? prismall and boyle arent coming to melbourne

i understand this is your dream team but i recon we need to get as many draft picks as possible

You know, I actually agree with you..

I more did it for Illustrative purposes..

as in, id love him at the club.. but id also want to keep the pick!

However, it'd be a tough decision if it was offered, no?

Who is Boyle? Who does he play for? Couldn't see his name in any of the teams this round. Would have to be good to be better than Bruce. Stupid trade that! It won't happen!

he plays hawthorn old bobby boy! keep up with the times!

yeah your right nudge

it would be a tough decision but i still think the club would be desperate to keep the low(ish) pick

i didnt realise lonergan has only played 13 senior games

how old is he?

i know he had that shocking injury etc etc

I'd trade pick 19 for prismall in a heart beat, he is young and a bloody good player, the games he played when he got into the geelong side were great and he is stiff not to be playing, I think he is better than kelly

imo if we trade or can get Warnock through PSD draft we must seriously look to trade Sylvia( rumoured to want to go home and reminds of TJ too much, has not given enough for no3 pick.) Bruce (was set to become a superstar in 05 i think before being tackled by a then Hawk Guerra. never got back , plays consistent footy and leads well but disposal is under a cloud and his age suggests last year to trade him. + he is a great sweetener) Rivers ( with the emergence of Warnock Garland, Frawley in the wings and the new found form of Wheatley a tough call needs to be made. not to delist but to be packaged up with Sylvia is clubs dont go for the Sylvia /Bruce combo. if you could get a 1st round plus another pick for Rivers ,Sylvia we must take it. no good to anyone playing four games a year) if we are to use our first pick on Watts if would be a massive coup to also pick up a midfielder in the first round. we must not loose track of the long term.

Prismall is high on our recruiting plan. Andy Lovell knows him from his days at Cats and is pretty keen on getting him. Even told Brent's father he is high on our target list at end of year.

Still don't understand why so many want to trade Bruce away. Every time a trade pops up invariably we are handing Bruce off. Given his position of leadership at the club I find it almost impossible that Melbourne will trade Bruce at the end of the year.

y look to trade Sylvia( rumoured to want to go home and reminds of TJ too much, has not given enough for no3 pick.)

what we are trading him to Bendigo are we ??? That story about him wanting to go to Adelaide is rubbish

how old is prismall??

as long as we dont give up draft picks for him, ill be happy

21 - 22

he plays hawthorn old bobby boy! keep up with the times!

Not playing for the Hawks this week. Injured or not selected?

Boyle is not the answer! we need to draft a key forward. as simple as that!

the 2 main acqusitions at years end should be Warnock and Watts. fills 2 massive holes!!! pick 17 and 20 should also get a couple of quality youngsters which always helps.

i wouldn't be totally against trading pick 20 for Prismal, but people shuld realize, if he was that good then he would have a place in the geelong team. geelong do not have 22 superstars. guyz like Varcoe, Byrnes and others get regular games ahead of him.

2009:

Bartram, Warnock, Garland

Green, Rivers, Grimes

Moloney, Bruce, Morton

Sylvia, Bate, Davey

Robertson, Miller, Wonaeamirri

Warnock, Jones, Mclean

Int: Dunn, Bell, Pettard, Newton, P.Johnson, Wheatley, Frawley, Watts

emg: Buckley, C.Johnson, Valenti, Jamar, Whelan

up-n-coming: Maric, McNamara, Martin, Cheney, pick 17, pick 20, pick 36

delisted/retired: Neitz, McDonald, White, Yze, Holland, Carrol, Bode, Weetra

what we are trading him to Bendigo are we ??? That story about him wanting to go to Adelaide is rubbish

his profile says he is from S.A. .regardless he is not worthy of the no.3 selection used on him. time to go. Bruce can go because he is a deal sweetener when combined with Sylvia. look at big picture, in 2-3 years where will are kids be and where will Bruce be? if he secured a first round pick well so be it , Green is more inspirational and more of a leader to these young kids then Bruce. that is purely my opinion based on what ive seen this year. lets stock the shelves with kids

Trading Syliva to get Prismall would be great, Dunno bout the cats doing that though!
