Terry Wallace on our trading/drafting



Recommended Posts

Yeah I think Terry is off his mark with that trade.

Sylvia will have currancy but he and Clark are probably our only a-graders. Sylvia is one of my favourite players and when he is on you know what he is capable of. I doubt he has a huge impact on the other players leadership wise, but no one is perfect.

But two points that should be made. McKenna said yesterday that the last thing is club needs is more young players and draft picks. They are after strong bodies and experienced players. Secondly if you dont think Caddy has potential have a look at what his older brother used to do - all be it at the North Heidelberg. he was a marauder - feared by all.

So his younger brother - if he lives up to his potential - could eventually be an asset. And a much needed toughnut.

Pick 80? Caddy was a top rounder so your joking... But whether we can come to a trade is the question.

BTW - Boak's agreement to stay at Port Adelaide was made on the basis that Matthew Primus stays. Now he is gawn, he's leaving!

Also I know that Talia wanted to come to the Demons...

Morton was 4, Gysberts 12 and Cook 12

Would you give those picks for them now?

Of course not.

It is what you do after the Draft that matters and Caddy has been anything but wonderful.

I will stick with 80

To be fair OD It's Caddy's second season. In Morton's second season or even after Gysberts first season, you would have gotten a lot more and thats what you have to compare it to... not Morton now.

Pick 80 is a ridiculous call and you are just trying to get a rise out of people.

80 might be an ambit claim but seriously I do not believe he is worth more than a third round pick.

I just don't see anything more than an average player

What about Cook you left him off.

Where does he now fit

Caddy was pick 7 and Cook 12

Sylvia is most definitely not an A-grader.

LOL old dee, no more than a third round pick? I think you overrate draft picks way more than anyone here is overrating Caddy.

Sylvia an A-grader? Jesus Christ. What are we smoking in this thread? You have to be consistently great to be A grade. Sylvia is pretty much the antithesis of consistent. He's played maybe four A grade games in eight years.

I dont honestly i was trying to make the point that 13 AND a Moloney is way overs, i know he was rated very highly as a junior and is unhappy where he is seemingly, but Morton was highly rated too and isnt worth pick 13 atm so i am more with you Oldee. the question is will he be better just by being in VIC for the change or not? people seem to think so, Emme Qauyle ect rate him so...

Pick 13 will likely be a player like Wines, O'rourke, Garlett or Kennedy or Menzel who are all playing great U18's, Caddy is very much hype

Is Moloney worth a 2nd Rnd pick?

Pick 13 and Moloney sounds abot right.

I think Moloneys a late second rounder - would''ve be a touch earlier, but he is a bit loose upstairs.

Caddy is going to be a very good player, he'd be an asset, he'll be better than Boak - and I dont even mind if we get Boak,

I just think Caddy is going to be a really good player.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.
