+1.

We all witnessed how he played vs Sydney... :)

I thought he was the 22nd best Melbourne player on the ground that day, that's why he was dropped. He wasn't bad, but didn't do much.

There's reports that all of Adelaide, Hawthorn & Western Bulldogs are going to use their compensation picks (at end of first round) during this years draft/trade period which would push our 2nd round pick down to 35.

Maybe Maric & Pick 35 to St. Kilda for pick 24?

Maric while he wouldn't get a wlk up start at St. Kilda would be on the cusp there as they don't have a lot of depth. With Gardiner, Blake, King, Milne, Baker & Hayes all over 30 he wouldn't have to wait long to be in their best 22.

That would be nice, but I can't see the saints doing that as they need fresh blood in their list for the same reasons you've stated. Replacing Milne Baker & Hayes within 2 years.

But, I'd take a straight trade with the Tiges for Pick 29.

I can see us doing a deal with either of Carlton or Hawthorn, for Matthew Warnock, for Pick 18 or 19.

That would put us in a better position for 3 or 4 years time.

PS: Then we could trade for Hale, as Deezman suggests with Pick 35.

Re Warnock? Why not to the Gold Coast? They have a gaping hole at full-back. Plus they have already displayed a propensity to recruit mature backmen. You would think if the pick was right we might even consider part of his salary. Then use that pick on recruiting a top backman ie Watson Plus the added bonus would be it might force the hand of a few teams in front of us. GC shape the top 10, we get a chance to shape the next 10.

That's the epitome of the bias that is rampant on these boards - Warnock worth 18 or 19, Maric's worth 29 and Hale's worth 35 - youve got to be kidding.

Warnock and Hale are worth about the same and much more than Maric.

Yes & No. Dont forget we can add value by adding in picks that we are not going to use anyway. (baring in mind we are probably only going to use 3 pick) So you are right on their own, but you could be wrong if we choose to "sweeten" the deal at no loss to us.

Well I don't wish to help them (GC Suns) as their in our window. So I don't wish to help opposition hurt us later. And secondly for me it's too early to ascertain just how they will shape up, their just a team of potential atmo.

I'd prefer Hawthorn as I see them the best option to stop Collingwood, thats gotta be a good thing! P19

Carlton I hate, but they could give us the best pick in what I think is the most likely scenario. P18.. I don't really want to help them!

That maybe, but I haven't watched Hale, I only know what I've read and that he's been struggling in a battling side & is 4th in their talls.

Warnock is a KEY Plank to a couple of teams in their window to the top 3, to take on Collingwood. That really pushes his value. 2 or 3 teams, maybe 4, will compete for experienced defenders in a push for the GF. Thats what I'm basing it on.

I don't think there's the same push for Hale, from the top 5 teams. Thats my reasoning.

Yep, Warnock's value is higher now than it has ever been and will ever be.

Spot on old55, I have felt sorry for Maric for a long time as he has not ever been given a "go" IMO

However the powers that be at the MFC do not seem to rate him very highly or he would have been played more,

On the basis that he has played so few games and never put in one blinder at Casey I think you would struggle to get a fourth round pick for him.

I believe the MFC should let him go to wherever he wants ( If he wants to leave )and take whatever is offered.

The only alternative is to keep him and play him for 2- 3 games in a row during 2011 to see if he has any thing!

Probably the problem in hindsight for Addam is that when drafted there wasnt a humungous amount of competition for spots.....and now there is.

But surely it would be a win-win trade. Look if it was just us and them in the competition I might agree with you. However, its not. IMHO this is a draft where we could easily "bookend" ourself with two top quality KP kids that could set us up for many years to come.

If Maric isn't worth a second rounder then he stays.

I wouldn't rule any of them out. I would just be chasing the "best" pick for us because its clear as day they all need the same thing.

Also interesting Why Blues are so keen not to lose Grigg to Richmond, because they know where they would get the "best" deal for them .. and its not Richmond. However, ultimately this is where the player holds the power ... he must agree.

Well, if you said 'maybe', no worries.

Another rule of forums wasn't aware of:

The inclusion of maybe in a post relieves said poster of any responsibility to the post in perpetuity.

Note: If the post turns out to be true, the 'maybe' then becomes irrelevant and the post & and relevant poster received credit that is due forthwith.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
