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?

  • Quote

    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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
