The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill


MadAsHell

Recommended Posts

Excuse my french but fook me the MFC are trading incredibly well.

Michie for a fourth rounder and Tyson with pick 9 for essentially pick 2 and 20 (and the later pick trade).

I am astounded and am becoming overwhelmed with confidence in our newly structured club.

P.S Let's just hope Freeman slides to 9 and we can secure Vince the Sylvia componsation.

I don't see why GWS won't just give up pick 20 for Vince now if they are really keen on him. Unless we give up a player and pick 21/38 or whatever the compo will be, I doubt we are in the box seat

I don't think GWS are that interested in Vince right now to be honest and I think his preferred destination is MFC anyway?

We were rumoured somewhere to have offered Vince a three year deal so you'd think he'd be keen.

I really also rate Lyons so hoping he can be persuaded although I've read on here and heard on SEN that he isn't keen on leaving Adelaide.

How do we manouvre to pick up Zac Jones with our committment to Vince with the Compo pick? Surely our later pick #53 will be too late.

The [censored] Barrett just said that he can't work out what MFC are doing with Pick 2 going to GWS for Tyson etc, and that Dom wasn't the type of player that we were trying to lure with pick 2.

Thinks it's a huge win for the GWS, but not so for us.

I think it's a win win.... Wallace (for what his opinion is worth) reckons that if Tyson was in this draft he would be right up the top again. So we have traded 2 for a player that would probably be worth the same in this draft (but with a couple of years worth of preseason) we upgraded 20 to 9, and the other upgrade for loose change.

How did we lose exactly? Both clubs would like this trade for different reasons!

There's mutterings at hq about doing away with compo for teams that lose free agents.

I hate free agency.

I hate hq even more than you hate free agency

Omg [censored] barratt reckons we could be repeating last years effort for getting Dom Tyson.. FMD.

Wallace reckons superstar O Rourke is ahead of Tyson in the midfield for GWS..

Is that the same Wallace who did so well with drafting and development at Ninthmond?

I just don't know why people care what Barrett says about our club.....The success or failure will be known in a few years.....The same as every trade or draft pick will be for all the clubs.....

I heard him the other day saying that when he was at Richmond, they had 5 picks in the top 20, and now there is only 1 of those there, but rather than him taking part of the blame, he kinda made the call that 'Your list management doesn't always get it right'

I wish Wallace would input about what clubs WOULDN'T do in regards to drafting, not what they SHOULD do.

Terry Wallace "Im thinking club-A should trade X player to X club and pick up Y draft pick in return which I would pick on player Z in this year draft.. I would do this, therefore clubs should ASTRAY from doing this also"

He also said he wouldn't have taken the Tigers job if he knew their financial position. Yet after his contract finished they were in a worse place financially.

No doubt their recruiting was rubbish. They reportedly recruited Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls without seeing him play and took a long time to realise he was dyslexic. But there development was just as bad. All 5 they picked showed talent at one stage but never kicked on.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
