Heard again on the radio this morning that the rumour is growing that Melbourne is strongly considering trading it's number 1 pick to Fremantle for pick 3, in an attempt to lure Robert Warnock, under the understanding that both Fremantle and West Coast have the preference 1 - Naitanui and 2 - Rich, leaving Melbourne free to choose Watts with pick 3, hence securing Fremantle Naitanui with pick 1.

The risk / reward of this trade is unprecedented I believe, and I for one think we should jump in heads first...

What do we think?

    I reckon we go for it! I don't want to see bloody Carltank take another player away from us.

    It all depends also on west coast & Freo and us getting Watts.

    Yeah, what the hell, take a risk, be bold, take the game on - DO IT.

    Worst case scenario we still get the ruckman we want & a very very good player that is ready to play senior footy round 1 next year.

    (In fact, i think worst case scenario is that we end up with a project player with funny hair and a big leap)

    It's been fairly well noted in the west (Not necessarily accurately) that they both want the WA boys first; we could essentially snare a player for nothing without losing our number 1 preference.

    Could be the even break we have been waiting for!

    Yeah........ just one thing - is it even close to being worth it for Freo?

    Its a hell of a lot to give up - a promising ruckman that you could get players or draft picks for - only so you can move up 2 places in the draft to ensure you can pick a player you could easily end up getting anyway..

    I know Freo are a bit stupid in the trades department, but they aren't that foolish... are they?

    For our sake - i hope so.

    See my thread "Pick 1 what is it worth". If someone knows how to link it, feel free to do so.

    Can't see Freo going for it unless Carlton only offer something ridiculous.

    Freo need not to be mindful not only of quality, but also quantity. Trading pick 3 and Warnock for pick 1 leaves yet another hole to plugged at the end of the draft. I'd rather get Carlton's second rounder and a reasonable young player than upgrade pick 3. There is plenty of talent in the draft, and Freo will have the opportunity to get a very good player at pick 3 regardless of where Naitanui goes.

    Here, here. Spencer has one thing that Warnock doesn't have and that's sheer aggression at the football. You can't buy that - not even for 400k pa

    We should sign Petterd and Spencer for three years to avoid the Gold Coast problem.

    We just signed up petterd about 4 weeks ago, not too sure about Spencers situation with his contract

    Only for two years. End of 2010 is the danger period for uncontracted players.

    I know everyone is saying warnock is young and not even that good..big men take time to develop- we've only got jamar, who should go cos he's [censored]. PJ, who is better roaming around the ground, and Spencer, who could be good and looks alright. So we may as well try and get warnock, and by this swap of picks 1 and 3, we essentially lose nothing, and if anything take the pressure off jack watts.

    BB that is utter crap! he has played what? 21 games? why in the heck would we ry and give up our most prized pick for a skinny dud that chose carlton ( which makes me even more angry!) as his prefered choice over us. warnock has not shown any glimpse of talent that would be worth giving up number one pick! guys like buddy franklin would be someone u wud bloody give up pick one! not warnock ffs! naita killed him this year and jumped all over him..

    GET THE MESSAGE GUYS STAY CLEAR OF WARNOCK!!

    If its a draft, Warnock has to agree.

    what he's trying to say is that we will be getting watts regardless if it is at pick 1 or pick 3, so giving up our first pick to get a third pick will not make a difference

    he's played 21 games and his 21 years old..could turn out to be a good ruckman, something that doesn't come by very often

    Absolutely absurd. Settle down. When did Naita kill Warnock this year and jump all over him?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
