Wellingham for Martin?

We are getting stupider and stupider.

I heard Molonei is a free agent, let trade Martin for Moloney, we need hardened midfielders

Troll much?

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.

Wellingham's just OK, I would not part with pick 13 for him

Gawd

I don't know, I've committed to not watching collinwood of all teams.

So I haven't watched Wellingham for a couple of Years.

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

Dees seemed to be linked to every out of contract player. Appears we are the bargaining chip for players managers to get a good deal done.

Wellingham would be a good get but likely we would have to give up Stef Martin plus a pick around #20-30. Not for me.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
