Who should we pick up?

[tess 19]

Some trades I'd like to see happen, which keep our first 3 rounds of draft picks are:

- Stef Martin for Wellingham - Why would the pies trade a potential a grader for a player that is an in-between ruck/forward?

- Sylvia for Luke Parker - One is a highly promising midfielder that will be capable of playing consist football for a number of years the other is Colin Sylvia

- 4th round pick + Ricky Petterd for Matt Campbell - Perhaps

- Cale Morton for Koby Stevens / Andrew Strijk - Just plain silly to think any club would want Cale Morton

- Late picks for Brett Meredith, Levi Greenwood - You want to bring in two list cloggers from others clubs to clog up our list?

Realistic targets for free agency:

Jordan Russell -

Ricky Dyson -

Shannon Byrnes

Danyle Pearce

Nathan Foley

Quinten Lynch

I knew some [censored] would post this comment! Maldon primary and Castlemaine High School in the 1970's - is that far enough away from private schools for you? I am soooo sorry to have disappointed your blinkered, class-system short sightedness.

I explained my post, and you have had time to apologize for calling me a [censored] and you haven't....... all class!

I'm starting to warm to the idea of gaining both picks in the mini draft. So as far as recruits go this off season I'm hoping for.

Trade picks 3 & 4 for 2 mini draft picks being Josh Kelly and Jesse Hogan.

Secure Jarred Moore and Jordan Russell as free agents.

Trade maybe Stef Martin to get David Mackay (I remain hopeful).

Trade Ricky Petterd to secure Koby Stevens.

Package Moloney with our 3rd round pick for either Scott Gumbleton or Shaun McKernan.

Draft:

2nd Scully compo pick, either one of Mason Shaw, Ben Kennedy or Dayle Garlett

2nd round pick, Jack Viney (F/S)

4th round pick, either one of Paul Marschall, Josh Scott or Mason Wood

5th round pick, upgrade Daniel Nicholson

PSD:

If with Melbournes 1st pick in the national draft Melbourne secure Mason Shaw then I'd be looking at someone like Jake Neade

If Melbourne secure Ben Kennedy or Dayle Garlett with the first pick then I'd be looking at one of Khan Haretuku, Tim Smith or Beau Dowler.

Craig Bird impressed me yesterday and looks like the type if player we could use. Wouldn't cost the earth.

dont like

Josh Kelly - im sick of tiny little kids that only weigh 50kg, no matter how good he is

Jordan Russel - would be good but to many deffenders

Gumby - 6 year how many games a bit of a ?

mabee

Stef Martin - for Wellingham (if Cloke goes the need a back up ruck too)

McKernan - i like but with Tippet going they might wanna keep him

the rest i agree with

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

What MFC should do is work out who they want to pick in this year's draft and then pick OTHER players. More likely to be successful for mine.

[GRUN DEE 69]

Sean Dempster as a FA. Especially if we lose Rivers!

Add Shane Tuck if he hasnt signed. Durable ball winner. Great mark & kick. Very underated! FA also. Will cost not much.

Jarrad Waite???

He is lightly built but still reckon he could be an absolute gun! Another possible scenario that's been mentioned elsewhere is that we trade MD pick 1 to West Coast for Andrew Gaff which would allow them to take Jack Martin and we could still take Hogan at pick 2.

Reason for me wanting Russell are his ability to play on smalls, his running ability and he uses the ball well. He also is in Carlton's leadership group and we need leaders! Same goes for Moore as he's in Sydney's leadership group.

I agree McKernan will be tough to get as Tippett is likely to leave so Gumbleton is more likely. I agree he's injury prone but I reckon the guy can play and will back Misson in to get him up! A few other options for a tall forward I reckon we could look at Aaron Cornelius from Brisbane and Jesse White from Sydney.

Wellingham is an option, especially if we miss out on Mackay who I'd prefer.

Beau Dowler?

You haven't seen him play have you?

[MadAsHell 4,217]

Beau Dowler?

You haven't seen him play have you?

Can play both ends and knows how to kick a goal.

Playing with the Zebras in the VFL this season and spent most of the year in defence.

Having said that I'd prefer Haretuku or Smith as I posted.

[Grimseyisgod 378]

Mackay wants to stay at adelaide, he isnt coming to Melbourne. BUt id be happy with wellingham.

infact id be happy with anyone as long as we dont get gumby or use picks 3 or 4

I agreed with everybody up until Scott Gumbleton, Gumby is a no no for me

[You're Gawn 26]

fair enough, i had him more as temporary CHF until Hogan is ready to go, then he may be able to slip into a pocket to provide a 3rd tall option

[thaipantsman 180]

Cloke, Goddard and Boak.

[Adam The God 30,767]

Gibbs= YES, would be a goddard type of player at melbourne, him and watts DELICIOUS

Isn't a Goddard type at Carlton. Don't see why he'd be any better at Melbourne.

[baysidedave 246]

Sorry maybe it's just me but I do not rate Pearce at all and hope we don't even consider him cant even give you a good reason why just looks like a player that sits back and waits for the hard work to be done!

I agree, Pearce is no-good, never rated him
