20 for Dawes and 45 for Fay is enough.

Why are we including Martin in this lop sided deal? He is the most damaging of those 3 players...

Maybe to get Pick 39 back?

With Dawes and Hogan coming in and Fitzpatrick to develop further the FD may have though we needed to move Martin on while the iron was hot and reckon we can still land a good mid inside the top 40 of the draft.

Pedersen @ Dees looking likely according to his manager.

What does every one think about this?

Isnt he a similar Sellar/Martin Type

Dont we need Mids??

Possibly, but for who?

He will be a very handy pickup for the Saints.... but I am trying to work out how useful he will be for the Dees next year? With some of the players coming into our club, I can't see Martin getting too many games.

You have to give something up to get something. Otherwise you might as well be EssendonFC and sit in the corner wondering why no one wants to deal with them.

Pederson for a 2nd round pick.

We don't have an available 2nd round pick unless the above deal goes through. (our 2nd rounder is committed to JV)

Does this mean that Nudge is right and the deal I heard about at 9am this morning is close to complete?

Go Dees!

Possibly similar to Martin, but if the other trade is occuring, then we don't have Martin on our list anymore.

Martin struck me as an athlete that was struggling to learn how to play football. I think Pedersen is a more natural footballer, and I think would be a more productive forward alternating in the ruck with Jamar than Dawes.

Gut feel is Leigh Brown and Neeld if they get Dawes will play him as a forward alongside Clark, neither of these guys will be rucking too much.

We will have the pick 39 still live. I like it. For 39 you get a proven kpf that has been starved of opportunity. Wouldn't be shocked of we got better value from Pedersen than dawes.

Didn't that article say that it wouldnt occur till later on, and most likely after MFC find out what they get for Moloney and possibly Rivers as FA's leaving the club. (bearing in mind we have offset that with Shannon Byrnes. But perhaps an end of second round pick is what we would look at.)

Jesus H Christ. Martin is so ridiculously overrated. What has he done besides looking like a footballer and having good specs on paper? Was found out badly against Freo when Jamar went down.

Looks like its happened...Pederson Dawes and Farren Ray.

Totally new look team for 2013

Plus Byrnes, Barry Viney and Wines orToumpas

IMO - Pedersen is seen as a competent back-up ruck/forward which would mean that Martin is surplus to requirements.

Dawes doesn't want to ruck from what I have heard and so these two deals could be done.

I belive this contradicts an earlier post I wrote yesterday but if Pedersen comes into Martin's position then he and Dawes can co-exist.

Time will tell whether this is all going to happen though...

It's to be a second round compo pick.

I do not understand this emphasize on trading for talls. Why are we not in the running for Clinton Young? Our midfield was atrocious last year and at the moment I cant see that much is being done to change that.

Which would be #27 (or whatever ends up as JVs pick +1)

#39 (which will slip) for Pedersen

#27 (which will slip) for a midfielder

LOL New tactics. We are going to attack from half-back and bypass the midfield

What if Whitfield, Toumpas and Wines are the first 3 picks. Do we take Grundy.

Give it to Dunn and tell him to kick it over everyone in the midfields head to a tall roaming half forward?

Posted

I'm sure Neeld and Viney aren't that stupid. That would be a monumental waste of a high pick.

Would mean 3 first rounders used on talls. 0 on mids in a midfield superdraft....

GWS wont be that crazy , considering they are about to lose Giles to Adelaide.

Geez Oli - Get over it. These guys know exactly what they're doing. Leave them to it. Go Dees!

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
