Trade First Round Draft Pick for Ruckman

and even more relevant with free agency fast approaching and us with a young poachable list. Honour and trust is a two way street; we will expect players to place a high value on loyality; therefore it is not unreasonable that the players would expect the same from a club. This integrity or trust will be built/destroyed on actions - the MFC will likely be viewed by AFL players quite favourably because of their handling of Newton/Meeson.

Like most of us that have been in a relationship, we know that once trust is broken it is very difficult, nigh impossible to get back!!!

    AGREE- (as per in my thread list changes-I believe we should be looking at another ruckman.

    However,in answering this thread- I like Rhys Stanley 200 cm at St Kilda, Hampson, Shaun 20110021.03.88 from Carlton,Laycock at Essendon(however injured alot) to name a few more.Charman from Brisbane is my choice- tough and will give our young one's confidence.

    So we trade a first round pick for an underperforming, ordinary injury ridden ruck from Essendon? Doh! Dont we already have 3 injury struck ruckman on our list at the moment?

    If we have Jamar as the No 1 ruckman why would we punt our first round pick on a 28 year old injury riddled ruckman from Brisbane who has not an effective role there for 2 years and is unlikely to overcome Clark and Leuey. And if we are playing Jamar and have Charman as No 2 back up ruck then how does it give the young players confidence when it snuffs their opportunity. :wacko:

    And if Charman is not competing for that role and is at Casey, I could not think a bigger waste of your first round pick.

    Its the lopsided same value proposition as swapping Trengove at year end for a 4th round pick.

    ...I think we should trade pick 14 for Cameron Wood. He will be a critical part of our next premiership tilt because Lauren Jackson- I mean, Josh Fraser can't carry the ruck for us...

    Wow!

    What happened??!

    I blacked out for a second there...

    Rhino, don't you think our list is at a stage now where we should be using the draft to fill holes in our list?? The best available youngster may very well be another midfielder. Do we really need to add to our midfield?? I think we need to be looking out for the best available KPF or ruckman, and if that means trading for one then it's probably a viable option

    No you "fill your holes" via the trade table - then you always draft "best available" - depending where you think you are in the cycle.

    Seems like the generally accepted universal theory that most clubs subscribe too.

    However, must confess we are entering into "un-chartered waters" with the introduction of two new teams - very hard to predict their impact with the concessions they have been given.

    • 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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
