Recruiting for 2012

[MadAsHell 4,212]

Personally I'm happy to just go through the draft, we can look at all our needs through there. Use our first 2 picks (shallow draft) on the best young talent around. Preferably a line breaking midfielder/defender & an elusive goal sneak/HFF. And then use a later picks on the likes of Fevola & Myles Sewell. A KPF & a good sized midfielder who's great at the clearances & can play a run with role.

Only trades I'd make would be to clear out players in contract like Bate, just take a low pick for him we wont need to use. Or for a GWS 17 year old, like Morton & pick 12 for O'Merra or Kennedy who wouldn't play till 2013 anyway.

Interested to see what other people think would be the best way to go.

Edit: When O'Merra or Kennedy could start.

I took the draft AND trade option as Warnock has already stated he wants to be traded meaning we will be involved in trade week at least to some degree.

I believe we should approach the draft and trade period with an open mind. In the trade period with some players wanting to leave (maybe) we should see which deal appeals most to benefit the MFC club. In saying that I do believe MFC need to chase some hard bodies around the midfield eg.(dangerfield) and also a strong KPF eg.(dawes), otherwise i believe our team balance will be too light!! If the pick is more appealing than the player obviously take the pick.

very excited about this period coming up!! )
