Who should we pick up?

[olisik 4,060]

Swap pick 3 and 4 for Caddy, Toy and pick 2?

[DeeZee 7,445]

Welling ham, Knights, Pearce,Goddard,Byrnes, Gumbleton and Edwards will do me.

Realistically I'd be rapt if we could snare a couple of these, because the young kids we draft with 3 and 4 are gonna be good...and then there's Viney.

Free agency and player trades should hopefully get us a decent crop of ready made players next year.......

Wellingham - Collingwood or West Coast

Knights - Richmond

Pearce - Port

Goddard - St Kilda, Freo maybe outside chance Carlton

Byrnes - VFL

Gumbleton - Essendon, maybe Freo

Edwards - who cares

yeah sure you can say that and thats fair, but that is probably because we havent made offers as of yet.

realistically we can get Wellingham, Brynes, wed need to make a good offer for Knights, Edwards is crap so is Gumby.

I just think Melbourne is not a attractive destination for Sharrod - but hell I hope I'm wrong. Brynes just does not excite me I honestly would rather stick fat with Davey and plan to play Viney in the pocket.

Injury prone - Knights no thank you, Gumbleton walking wreck but if it happened so be it, Edwards ditto Gumby

Goddard & (Cloke) - sorry to say just dont think we are a realistic chance. But again hope Im wrong

[demon-4-life 467]

So, anyone think we could convince tippett to melbourne? Brissie will be offering up pick 6. Could we trump them and offer them pick 4? Or reckon Tippett is sold on going back to QLD like Clark was sold on going back to WA?

you make good points, very intelligent.

Melbourne isnt an attractive destination, but you can make it attractive with picks and $

Brynes doesnt excite me either.

Gumby and Edwards are horrible

[Guest Rassilon]

but you can make it attractive with picks and $

I 100% agree with you I think thats exactly what we have to do. We need to make our club an attractive destination, if we have to pay some overs for a few "ready to go players" well I'm all for it.

[Grimseyisgod 378]

yeah to be honest we arent an attractive destination but in the end it can become one

Club might be attractive now - the no bs approach taken by Neeld would definitely be resonating with others outside the club.

yeah but quite honestly players come to clubs because the club is going for finals and a premiership, lets be honest.. we arent one yet

How would others know the finer detail and why the hell would they care?

[Grimseyisgod 378]

Ohhh i think its one of those things that is just "known", that Neeld is a tough guy and clearly did a very very good job with the Collingwood membership

[DemonWA 3,936]

Kane Mitchell won the Sandover last night with a record number of votes. (same number as Priddis before he was finally drafted).

Would be happy to get either of Mitchell or Blackwell with a late draft selection or rookie pick

[Geddy Lee 582]

Is that Edwards from North Melbourne?

[BLWNBA 1,123]

Correct sir.

Can we shout this loud enough for AAMI MFC recruiters to here. Have watched both these guys for Claremont and they are AFL standard.

Mitchell has the endurance and 2nd efforts that we need. Blackwell's skill and ball use would be essential for our midfield.

Our weapons

1. Nathan Jones grunt and desire for the footy
   
2. Sam Blease’s pace and goalability
   
3. James Frawley’s pace and half back run (we need to free him up)
   
4. Howe’s aerial marking
   
5. Mitch Clark fwd presence (get fit and back on track)
   
6. Jack Grimes run and create
   
7. Jordie Mckenzie’s lock down role
   
8. Colin Sylvia’s class and ability to go mid/fwd
   
9. Tapscott’s toughness
   
10. Tommy Macdonald’s strength across the backline
    

Watts & Trengove class and potential

Add Jack Viney to Nathan Jones’ grunt in the middle

What we need

1. A star, top 10 in the league A player capable of 30+ possessions
   
2. CHF … big and strong
   
3. A quarterback, to setup with elite kicking
   
4. A pacy left footer wingman, with goal kicking ability
   
5. A fwd crumber
   
6. A good ruckman, agile
   

B: Nicolson Sellar Garland/Rivers/Dunn

Hb: (Qtrback) T McD Frawley

C: (Winger) (High possess mid) Grimes

HF: Blease (CHF) Sylvia

Fwds: (crumbing fwd) Clark Howe

R: (Ruckman) Viney Jones

Int: Tapscott, Watts, Mckenzie, Trengove

Like Mitchell but would put Mark HUTCHINGS from West Perth in front of Blackwell on 2012 performances

Well we are looking better than I thought we have picks 3.4,13,30is to get four of them. might snare one in the PSD - if we trade wisely you just never know. But I do like the make up of the team. I just hope we dont accept "2nd best" or a heap more speculative kids.

Winger might get away with Taggert - crumbing fwd might get away with Viney in his first year & seek another mid. Ruckmen would have thought one of Jamar, Gawn, Fitzy & Spencer might make the grade - Ruckmen are over valued look at Cox & Nic Nat got beat by a 30 yo.

Neeld out - Pitt in!!!

[Guest Rassilon]

Would be interesting putting names to the positions - then adding to those names - bit like a hit list - we will never get them all- might never get one.

Qtrback - Jacobs, Otten who else? Reckon Plowman is an outside chance in the draft.

Winger - Toumpas ready to go

Mids - Caddy, Stevens who else?

CHF - I got NFI

Crumbing forward - Viney lock it in Eddie

Depth?
