Tim seems very confident about Viney.

Hopefully we make a stand.

Yeah I think Dawes would be a decent pick up as long as we don't have to give up much trade wise and Collingwood pay half his contract.

Paying for contracts brings up a valid option that could be utilised by our front office as we have cash and Collingwood don't, especially if they want to pick up Tippet. In the Dawes trade (which I broke a month ago get around me) we could pay part of Martin's contract and in return we get another draft pick I.e. their late second rounder which would save them cap room and frees up one more spot on their list for their Free Agents

Yeah!Let him go at 2!

Let's make a stand against GC trying to dictate our recruiting policies by letting GC dictate our recruiting policies...

These two items are the crux of our play to get JV with the second round. I.e. Let Jack go through and we'll use pick 13 on Caddy (a better deal than most other suitors can afford)...

not if saints use 12 or 13

I listened to it and I thought it was non commital on everything.

Anyone who thinks we will let Viney go to the Gold Coast (assuming they are mad enough to use their pick 2 on another player who like Caddy and Toy will want out as soon as possible which is ofcourse very unlikely) is wrong Im afraid. I dont care what i hear officially on this topic because I know for a fact that we will use pick 3 if we have to. mark my words :) But that being said I didnt take from this interview that we werent going to use pick 3 on him, rather we had not made an assessment of that yet and it depended on what was available for our live pick 2 (pick 3 if GC nominate Viney).

Caddy is not worth pick 13 for mine. Ive gone and had a look at his stats and some footage I found and I think Viney looks better already to be honest. Use pick 13 and a trade for Wellingham.

Dawes will be a done deal. No other team would want Dawes. Having said all that who knows..maybe he can be the "transformer" and we sure need some toughness.

dawes is just in poor form. A year or so ago he was a very accurate kick for goal and was right along side cloke as their big forwards! everyone from collingwood that play along side him cannot praise him enough for his work rate, he could have a turn around like clark did this season! i don't think he would be as good as clark but he would be a decent pick up :)

Dawes in general has been a good player. Im surprised they are looking at giving him the arse after one poor year... Confidence is the key.

Almost, but you're not certain.

If it happens that two year running we get screwed by the expansion teams !!

How's about they fu#k off and target some stronger clubs !!!

We get a hard edged strong bodied mid dished to us on a plater yet some how there is the posability that we well get screwed !!

Hasn't enough bad luck been passed our way ....

Pick 3 for Caddy! I think pick 13 is overs... Toumpas has to a viable choice...

Yeah your right 3 is a bit to much considering he was pick 7.

Well if your in a club like collingwood with some meany high priced players that's how hard it's to stay in the team.

DONE.

If this is how this off season pans out, I will soil myself. That scenario represents overs for Caddy and ridiculous overs for Dawes.

I just can't believe that you think Melbourne are that stupid to be showing their hand to anyone.

It's just a game of Charades.

We will know only when it happens.

Should be pick 13 for Wellingham or Caddy....whoever wants it first.

Dawes trade for Martin

3 for Viney (if we dont get Caddy)

4 for Wines or Toumpas

If we do get Caddy for 13 then 3 and 4 will be for Wines and Toumpas , or one of those and Hogan.

and Viney second round

I think we hold some pretty good cards....good draft picks, players to trade and some cash to entice the right player.

Im fairly confident we will end up with some good wins here.

Two or three established players to bolster our midfield and attack, and a couple of the best kids available.

Toumpas is a much better player than Caddy, if he is available at 3 or 4 we should take him.

Make a stand, or cut off our nose to spite our face?

Everyone who thinks we are going to pass on Viney- I feel sorry for your naive little gullible brains.

Just wondering if you guys would be able to answer a question for me.....What time is trade week radio on and can you listen through the AFL app?

    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
