BP in the Herald Sun today

[Salems Lot 2,493]

The was an interesting article in the little paper today about the fact that BP is not totally discounting the possibility of trading pick 2. He says that it would be highly unlikely but will not rule it out. He also mentioned the club being prepared to aggresively chase the right players if they present themselves. No specifics but it sounds like exciting times ahead. Phase II continues to develop.

I hope that we don't trade our 2nd pick in the draft... to get the two best youngsters in the country is a MUST for MFC to move forward. I believe we have the cattle coming through, plus the picks, to not need a trade.

[Adam The God 30,123]

We won't trade picks 1 or 2. He's simply 'keeping his options open'. The only reason we wouldn't go with Trengove, is if he doesn't interview well and we perhaps think he might not stay in Melbourne, over an extended period.

I would definately consider trading pick 2 for Boak.

[Jerry Lundergard 420]

I would definately consider trading pick 2 for Boak.

I would only do that if we somehow ended up with their 1st round pick as well.

For the most part, ex first round draft picks from interstate clubs are like new cars. The second you wheel them out of the draft room, they instantly lose value. Especially when the people you are dealing with have pick 1 in the PSD.

We wouldn't have to trade pick 2 to get Boak, and wouldn't bother doing it anyway

Trading a known for an unknown has merit

Not for players who may want to go home.

Have you seen this kid play? Only 21 averaging over 20 possies a game. Is hard at it and a good tackler. He's had games where he has 9 to 10 tackles. A month or 2 ago on Footy Classified they had a stat that when he played Port were at least a 5 goal better side.

[MadAsHell 4,212]

The only way I would trade pick 2 is if it was:

1) To Richmond for Vickery and pick 3 or

2) To Port for Boak & picks 8 & 24 if we threw in pick 34 as a sweetner.

I wouldn't go for 1. Vickery done nothing and we are going for a pick less.

Port wouldn't go for 2. A player that demands a top 5 selection and an extra 2 picks in the top 25. You are under selling Boak or over rating pick 2.

Are you kidding you wouldn't go for pick 1?

We're dropping one selection in the draft and getting Vickery! There's no way Richmond would go for it...

If they did we'd take Trengove if the Tigers went for Butcher, or Morabito if the Tigers took Trengove... But there's no way Richmond would do it...

Yeah, good call Vanlo... agree with ya 100%

I thought it was pretty obvious. Firstly Vickery WHOPPY DOO pick 7 and has done nothing. Secondly the FD see these players more than we do. What if say Melbourne think Trengrove is a lot better than Morabito or Butcher and Richmond select Trengrove. Why would we want 2 worse picks. Pick 3 would get me interested, Vickery would end that interest.

I'd keep picks 1&2 for the draft. I understand that with Boak as a known - you know what you're getting. But is he really worth losing pick 2 in itself. In my opinion he isn't.

I think someone mentioned swapping pick 2 for Ports first pick (no.8?) and Boak. That might be something Port would consider, and probably Melbourne for that matter.

Do you know if Boak is under contract for next year?

[demon heart 3]

hopefully boak is out of contract and port do what they did with stevens

[Carn dees 108]

I herd somewhere boak and salopek were recently signed.

Bigfooty i think.

Yes Boak signed on for next year so that pretty much counts us out unless we give up draft pick or trade.Kane Cornes,Justin Westoff,Danyle Pearce & Brett Ebert have all been put up for trade by th Power & said they will probably add 17 more players to that list.

I also am keen on Boak and have a feeling Pearce is on our radar also!

Port have stated ALL players are up as bait!

Pick 2 for Boak not enough though, but not far off, something like 2 & 35 for Boak and Pearce would be ok in my book!

Salopek on our list also, im hearing Jamar rumours with Port also..

Love it! Doubt Port would though, we'd need to add another pick, say 55 etc..
