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

    Emerg: Bartram, Dunn, C. Johnson

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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. :wacko:

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
