WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHRIS DAWES

[thaipantsman 180]

Just learned Dawes is only 24. Thought he was about 28! Might be a good pick up after all. How about Cook, Gysberts and Morton to Maggies as a trade. Would rather keep Martin if possible even though 2012 wasn't a good year for him.

[dee_star 63]

Dawes would be a good get - big bodied key forward, has 6-8 years left. His form suffered from doing the Ruckwork which he wouldn't have to do with us. Still think he might stay at Collingwood but getting him would finally be some good news

I reckon the Pieswould would say NO

You can keep Cook and morton

[Hannibal 5,814]

Yep but if I were virtually promise a flag and good money, I would certainly look at completing the degree in Sydney or even deferring it.

If Dawes went to Sydney; that would be would cause nightmares for Clarkson, Buckley et al

So you're disregarding what he wants ?

He wants to stay in Melbourne and there will be enough suitors to make it happen.

Lol, three NQR's don't equal a decent player. Especially when they are trying to create cap space - it will be picks not players for Dawes!

well we have to come up with some trade bait without going backwards. Martin is a big strapping lad and can play a a versatile role. granted he had a poor year but I think he can come back hard next year.

Look out for Wellingham and Dawes to be packaged up and traded to Melb for pick 4

won't happen cos Wellers is heading west

In that case that particular one is far too good for us to be true, with the exception of maybe Gysberts.

Eff that, we'd better get a pick back too if that were to eventuate.

What number draft pick(s) do Sydney have to trade ?

[Sir Why You Little 37,238]

Wellingham will only head west if Meth Coke or Freo pay his wage.

I don't mind this.

Shows the MFC members that the club is sick and tired of losing season after losing season, and we need to start playing for the now.

Collingwood might ask for Gysberts too.

interesting...more as the source..than possibly the trade

Barich has a good ear for footy happenings

exactly!! ) Dreaming

This would be a great outcome if Viney slips to 2nd round.

End up with Toumpas, Wellingham, Viney and Garlett/Kennedy/Stringer as mids and Dawes up forward. Good outcome.

If Viney goes at pick #3 on the otherhand...not quite as impressive.

[thaipantsman 180]

If Wellingham and Dawes came over, both young, don't mind indeed! Winning culture into the club and both still have a lot to offer. Early days...not getting too excited yet.

bahaha

i would nearly die out of disgust if that happened

[Gippsland Dee 367]

i'm liking the sound of melbourne getting both wellingham and Dawes in a package deal! just on trade radio, wellingham dawes and pies 1st rnd pick (22 or whatever it is) for pick 4!

If Viney goes at pick #3 on the otherhand...not quite as impressive but still ok. Might be able to trade a pick 26 for Colls 18 and go for something like

Viney, Wellingham and 2 of Kennedy/Simpsons/Stringer/Garlett/Vlastuin as mids and Dawes up forward.

Slightly better, but pick 4 is a massive asset to put up.

[olisik 4,060]

Dawes/Wellingham and pick #18 I would take that trade

[Gippsland Dee 367]

yes it is but provided we don't have to use pick 3 on viney we will still have 3, 13, 22, viney(26), wellingham, dawes and anyone else we pick up. sounds pretty good to me if this happens
