I think it was a given anyway but Jimmy Stynes has confirmed that Melbourne will not trade its first pick in November's national draft.

Melbourne chairman Jim Stynes: We won't give up top pick

Thats two good Dees articles in two days. How long since that has happened?

It so important IMO that we get the message out about our promising future as a club, skills of the board and staff, exciting young list, business acumen etc. If the board continues to release positive "photo opportunities" to the media then we can control things to an extend as they will be running with those rather than negative speculation from outside the club

I hope it continues

I doubt we would even trade our second pick, given that we are now in a rebuilding phase.

I am wondering which names will be floated on the market to increase our picks in the upcoming draft.
