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

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.

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

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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
