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?

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
