Sharrod Wellingham

Define Stupider please?

Martin and a 2nd rounder for Wellingham sounds more than fair to me.

What we really need is for Cloke to re-sign at Collingwood. Hopefully that will stretch their salary cap to the point that blokes like Goldsack and Wellingham would be tipped out or have to agree to a pittance to stay.

Problem with that scenario is Martin will probably cost the pies close to as much per year at Wellingham.

BTW - Goldsack would be an even better pick up than Sharrod

How are we going to pick up Kennedy and Wellingham?

We would have to trade pick 13 for Wellingham. Which means you want to use pick 4 on Kennedy? Or are you planning on parting with pick 4 for Wellingham?

Olisik is either Ben Kennedy himself or has one of the biggest man crushes on him in history. Every chance he gets he claims we need to draft him or he just throws him into the side as one of our picks. It's a little... creepy...

As for the topic - would love to have Wellingham at Melbourne.

I can't support a player called Sharrod

However we'll have to pay him at least 450 and I'm not sure he's worth that

We'd lose pick 13 which would be fair. Why do people mention Martin, not even Sydney could turn him into a serviceable player

Since there has been talk of Wellingham I have watched him closely and whilst he is a good player who works hard, he is a small fish in a big pond. I'm thinking he would be exposed like Des Headland was when he left the Lions.

Would not pay him big money, his disposal is not great and to be talking $600k, that is what the Saints have offered Goddard and Welingham certainly is not worth that.

I would ask the club to be cautious here

These words just gave me a horrid sense of deja vu: Daren Jolly! Hope we know what we are doing letting Martin go.

Especially given he was injured half the year and never had a run at full fitness!

One thing I will say about Sharrod Wellingham. He certainly does have a square head...

... and never believe anything that's denied.

I thought the rule was it becomes even MORE beleivable once you start denying things..lol

Carlton will make Cloke a huge offer. But I reckon Eddie's ego won't let him pass - he'll say we've just got to match it no matter what the cost. It's quite likely to hurt them. Wellingham is likely to get squeezed out and their cap will be so tight they'd probably prefer picks to players - they may not even be able to afford Martin. Straight swap for pick 13 could be their best option.

Pick 13 for Wellingham? I don't know how that will fall to us?

wouldn't the Bullies be interested? or GCSuns even(??)2

...the Pies may get a better return if Shee's K bob up north likes him. They may get a nice Comp' pick?

6. 2011 and 2012 post-season, AFL-listed player access:

GWS Giants to have capacity to pre-list 10 players who had previously nominated for the AFL Draft, or were previously listed with an AFL club. If the club does not sign 10 players after the 2011 season, it can sign the balance of up to 10 players at the end of the 2012 season.

GWS Giants to have capacity to sign up to 16 uncontracted players. Maximum of one player from other AFL clubs, unless a club agrees to trade more than one player to GWS Giants. If the club does not sign 16 uncontracted players after the 2011 season, it can sign the balance of up to 16 players at the end of the 2012 season.

Melbourne circles Sharrod Wellingham as Collingwood midfielder remains unsigned

We're all over him according to to Jon Ralph, which means he's probably headed anywhere but Melbourne, but read into it what you will.

Yeah it has no quotes or references to anyone in melbourne as to where they got the info! i'd say he's just looking for anything like rumours to get some quick $

I actually think he'd be a good player for us and I'd trust neeld to make the right call. Yes he plays in a team where he's a 2nd tier mid, but perhaps he'd thrive from being a key player? If neeld reckons he's worth the big money we should offer it to him. We have no choice but to trust neeld at this stage

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
