TRADE & DRAFT

[H_T 3,049]

Is it a foregone conclusion?

Will we pick up Jack Watts in the National Draft as it has been widely tipped? Or will it be Naitanui or Rich?

Or will Melbourne somehow lure Warnock from Fremantle from the financial grip of Carlton (commonly referred to as VISY Blues in some circles)?

If you had a wish list what would it be (ie like a list for Santa) come trade and draft time, what would it be?

Here's my list: -

TRADE: - Green & Pick 35 to Bulldogs for Pick 14 in return.

Daniel Bell and pick 67 for Adam Thompson (Port Adelaide)

DRAFT: - Picks 1, 14, 17, 19, 51

Pick up Watts, Zaharkis, Blease, Vickery (not necessarily in that order) and fluke quality with 51 somehow.

PSD: - Robbie Warnock!

GO DEES!!

Just a thought, it was 7 changes to the list wasn't it?...I think that is what Connolly said...7 or 8?

My "Crystal Ball" side: -

B: GRIMES MARTIN GARLAND

HB: BUCKLEY RIVERS MORTON

C: ZAHARKIS McLEAN BLEASE

HF: DAVEY MILLER SYLVIA

F: VICKERY WATTS MARIC

Foll: R.WARNOCK JONES MOLONEY

INT: WONAEAMIRRI, BATE, P.JOHNSON, A.THOMPSON

Bit far fetched..........we can only dream!

I like the way you think however I'm a little less optomistic now then a few days back about us possibly picking up Warnock in the PSD so here's what I think.

TRADE:

Carroll and pick 51 to Hawthorn in return for pick 49.

Wonamerri (sorry everyone) and pick 35 to Fremantle in return for pick 21.

DRAFT:

1. Watts

17. Blease

19. Roughead

21. Zaharakis

49. Klause

PSD: Podsiadly (Hope I spelt it right)

TEAM:

FB: Garland Warnock Whelan

HB: Wheatley Rivers Bell

C: Bate Moloney Green

HF: Bruce Miller Robertson

FF: Newton Podsiadly Davey

Foll: P. Johnson Morton McLean

Int: Jamar, Jones, McDonald, Sylvia

Why would we trade Wonaemirri.

FFS, why does everyone think just because a player is a decent performer he should be traded. We need a core group of players to build our young squad around. There is no need to trade Green, Wheatley, Sylvia, Wonaemirri just for the sake of it. I was completely for Travis Johnstone's trade. It was a good offer and the right time to part with Trapper. And If it were to be the same situation for one of the players listed above I wouldnt mind but we cant just throw them away.

And why Podisadly, he's a decent player who has consistently done the job at VFL level but do you not understand the word youth. Google it, you might learn something.

1 - Jack Watts. We need a forward before a ruckman.

17 - David Zaharakis. Will probably be the best midfielder available at this point.

19 - Mitch Banner/Aaron Cornelius. Depending on where we want to go, these two will both become excellent performers.

35 - Jordan Roughead. I can see him slipping back this far. We need a ruckman.

Why the hell does everyone seem to think any trade we do will involve a pick and a player for a higher pick????WHY!!!And Wonaeamirri???? Yeah, lets give up a good little player for nothing. And Brad Green? Sure, if he doesnt sign,shop him around for the best pick.IMO he should be the next skipper so why trade him???

It's a good way to upgrade picks and in a valuable draft like this (Not only quality wise, but because of GC17 in years to come) we need to grab any decent picks we can get.

Vickery will go top 10.

Is Didak worth considering , or Brad Fisher from carlton . Both may be on the trade table .

Didak in some quarters has been tipped to stay at the filth. However, recent talks with Ben Cousins with Mick Malthouse - allegedly - may or may not depend on Didak staying. Rhyce Shaw could be another development.

Edit: In relation to who may be on the trade table. Not insinuating that Melbourne should chase Didak or Shaw.

[Guest Addam]

We dont need Didak. His an excellent player, but his off-field profile is not something the MFC need.

Brad Fisher is a so-so player. Reliable for a goal but very ineffective most of the time.

No to both.

Why would we pick up a 27 or 28 year old from the VFL (podsiadly)? Absolutely ridiculous, it does not fit in with our YOUTH policy for starters and the fact he has been on about 4 rookie list tells me he is not up too it.

Quite right. Podsiadly has been playing a number of years now at VFL level. If you were going to pick him up it would of been 4-5 years ago, even longer.

[Gouga 570]

We could recruit Podsiadly to play CHF and Sautner to play FF!
