Caddy at Pick 13 is the rumour going around...

Caddy at Pick 13 is the rumour going around...

So does that mean the Dawes and Wellingham deal at pick 4 is still on the cards?

[Sir Why You Little 37,050]

Hello Jack.

[mdemonski2 403]

Great deal, if we get caddy at 13 and viney at 26!

[Arrow 1,257]

screw caddy! pick 4 for second pick in the mini draft is all i want! Get Hogan please Dees!!

[Mickey "O" 32]

Talk of pick 3 for 2nd pick in mini draft... Who would trump us if we offered pick 4? Ourselves?

The AGE reporting that Port nomited both Daniher AND VIney with its pick 7 in order to force Ess and Melb to use their picks 10 and 26 to secure their F/S players.

I thought multiple bidding was outlawed to stop exactly this kind of thing?

ANYONE CONFIRM WHAT THE SITUATION IS?? (oops sorry bout the caps)

[Bring Back Barassi 552]

rules changed this year to allow multiple bidding

Bids are still done one at a time though. Port would have bid #7 for Daniher, followed immediately by Essendon's response to take him as F/S. Port are then able to re-bid #7 on Viney.

Great result. Very happy.

So Port effectively stymied each clubs chance of getting a F/S for the 3rd round. Doesn't seem right to me.

I suspect clubs will remember that.

I still think other football clubs wouldn't have let Viney slip for a third round pick

What a great day.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

seems like a long time since we as a club have had something so fantastic happen. As I said a few days ago, this really could be a turning point for us - particularly if some other rumoured trades come up. We could be looking at 6 or 7 changes to our starting line up. Well done MFC for whatever you did to get this right. This, along with snaring Clark last year, are out of character for the 'loser' club - and I like it very much.

I had been counting down the days until today. That is how sad my life is.

Sheer farce. I don't understand it.

It aint over until the deal dust settles ...

Yeah right.

So GWS get 1, 2 & 4

Melbourne get 3

So you reckon GWS will give up the supposed 3rd best player, so that their good mates at Melbourne can grab him.

[deejammin' 2,370]

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!

Viney with 26, awesome, Rivers may stay, awesome! This is one of the best days being a demons supporter recently, a little sad, but great nonetheless!!!!!!!!!!

If any deal was done Melbourne could easily deny it, after all what can GC do? Its outside the laws of the game if they did a deal, so there's no way they could claim it if Melbourne denied it. No-one would have been dumb enough to sign anything, so, it never happened, give GC nothing. Too risky for both clubs, either it didn't happen, or one or both clubs will claim it didn't happen, or nothing will come of it.

Thanks God It's Over.
