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.

    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

    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)

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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....

    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?

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

    Wtf is Walsh doing blabbing rubbish ?

    •  

    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
