Pick 3 and Pick 4

if GC give pick 2 to the crows for tippett then the crows will definitely take toumpas at 2, being an adelaide boy an all

That's true, I've said the same on another thread. Although others think they may take Grundy instead of Toumpas to replace Tippett, my money would be on Toumpas...but we may get lucky.

I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere but Dawes will cost MFC Martin decent and pick of some sort.

Ad for Wellingham its pretty clear he wants to go home,apparantly isnt intersted in talking to MFC and his 'classy outside skills 'come with a kicking efficiency of 55%!!!

Some would say that therefor he fits right in I guess but I doubt its going to happen

Dawes just is not worth Martin + anything much, let alone the 13 that some have been talking about. I would rather keep Martin and use his as a defender who can ruck, especially if Riv flows down the bay to Corio.

If viney goes to our 2nd rnd pick we could probably afford to go for a tall (grundy) with our 3rd or 4th pick. If we have to use him early we would surely use the other top 5 pick on another mid.

My preference is:

pick 3: toumpas

pick 4: O'rourke/Grundy

pick 13: kennedy

pick 26: Viney

Why are all the melbourne staff talking about trading our picks 3 or 4 for the right player?

I just don't get it...furthermore to draft a 17 year old such as Hogan only for him to leave in a few years doesn't make sense to me also

Am I missing something here?

Yeah, what you have posted doesn't make sense to me either.

Weird.

If those picks are on the table, and GWS or GC have a chance of securing them, it offers an extra incentive for them to maybe not bid on Viney.

You know, GWS might think they'll get 3 or 4 or both for minidraft picks.

GC may think it's possible they could get pick 4 for Caddy & Toy, if we don't have to use 3 on Viney.

They don't bid, then we make whatever trades we want regardless to whatever impression they may have got.

It's all about making the waters murky, creating doubt and indecision, that may lead to a benefit for the club.

That's my take.

Basically, if gc bid for viney, then we must trade our first pick. Simple.

The question really is, if we have to trade our first pick, what is the best pick we can get?

Hogan

Tippett

Gaff

Caddy & toy

Dawes & wellingham

And so on.

The MFC is not silly enough to throw away one of the above mentioned trades so we can use pick 3 on viney, when we can still get viney 2nd round.

Really, it is a no brainer.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the F/S bidding takes place before anything else. If GC bids and we want Viney then we can't trade that pick

Have you not heard this?

Oh, I have.

Doesn't mean your post that worried we will trade pick 3 and then worried we lose said player after two years makes sense.

Worry less.

That would be my advice to Dees supporters.

On this forum I've heard it, as rumours, maybe some baseless media reports. Nothing of the sort from the club, unless the receptionist has been talking or maybe one of the cleaning staff.

Sorry to throw you back into the real world, but it is quite simple. It goes like this.

MFC- "GC, are you going to bid on Viney"

GC- "Yes"

MFC - "OK"

then we trade our first pick.

Absolutely clueless.

Stop posting, you clearly have no idea how this father/son thing works.

Lol

We can't get rid of it as the first thing that happens when trade week starts is the F/S bidding.

Lol

Genius! What could possibly go wrong with this plan? Ignoring that little thing about it not being at all how the system works, of course.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
