Wellingham/Dawes super trade (scuppered)

The only way that this trade makes ANY sense to me is if Collingwood give their first round pick as well in the deal. Or some other combination of pick swapping. Surely MFC is not stupid enough to consider this otherwise. Surely.

Dawes and welli will be at MFC this week. Pick 13 and stef Martin.

Mark my words

Marked. I think it's overs but I could live with that.

Likewise, 13/14 for Wellingham and Martin for Dawes. 13/14 for Wellingham is overs but Stef for Dawes is about right. Would make big Q their FF and Stef their back up ruck, which if I was I Pies fan I'd prefer. Lynch doesn't have the mobility to be their back up ruck and would be much more useful to them on the lead.

I'll take that deal.

Don't fall for it. Obviously wishful thinking from Collingwood!

No,No! a thousand times NO! We MUST get two high quality young MID FIELDERS in this draft. Nothing less will do. Wellingham has proven ability and could be useful, BUT, if Melbourne doesn't interest him then he can move back to the West and join the Weagles.

So that's you on record stating pick 4 for Caddy and pick 13 and Martin for Dawes and Wellingham?

13 and Martin for Dawes and Wellingham I could get used to...

PS I'd hate to have you part of my crew if we were in the mob. You'd be known as "Timmy the Squeeler" lol

Geoff Walsh has confirmed that the MFC has put pick 4 on the table for Dawes and wellingham!

When and where did he confirm that?

I still don't get why we would force Wellingham to come to Melbourne when he doesn't want to?

What's the point?

We are a joke if we trade pick 4 for these two.

It reeks of short term gain to bolster Neeld's win-loss ratio. What a disgrace.

It was on one of the Facebook trade pages claiming that Geoff Walsh has confirmed thismorning the only Place I can think he may have actually confirmed this is SEN or another radio station perhaps?

Let's hope it's a ruse to get the Eagles to pay a bit more for Wellingham. I can't believe that we'd give pick 4 for those two in a draft as good as this (even given our recent record)

Posted

Hope pick 4 is not true. I'd prefer a cheap version of Dawes to sit along side Clark (white?) and to keep getting elite mids from draft. Maybe pick 13 for wellingham, maybe.

Posted

Its official. Thats what we have put up for those two players. I think its crazy overs, why not pick 13 and a player?

Geoff Walsh from Collingwood FC has confirmed that Melbourne have put pick 4 up to secure Dawes and Wellingham

No Way. Not even if we don't have to use pick 3 on Viney. if we do this I'll be mad as hell. It does smell of desperation.

Another thread....

Posted

This is absolute lunacy, and IF confirmed as in above info from Jonesbag and in link to another thread "Is your support of MFC unconditional"?

Not if this trade ensues!

What is going on?

Posted

Sorry about creating another thread. It was more of me being lazy and ceebs looking for the pre existing thread

Posted

Wtf is Walsh doing blabbing rubbish ?

Posted

He simply said Melbourne were interested, did not mention pick 4 whatsoever.

That makes more sense cheers

So many seem jumpy and adding 3 and 5 and getting 27

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
