We seem confident that Lyons, Vince and Mitchie will move to the dees. What happens with pick 2 is anyone's guess...

FWIW I think this would be an excellent result. I can't see us spending much, given that this is generally considered a relatively week draft, or going backwards with these players coming in. I would think we will either pick up Cross or pursue a mature age VFL/WAFL/SANFL mid to compliment the young gun we snag with Pick 2.

    Out: Sellar, Gillies, Tynan, Davis, Couch ®, Davey, Rodan, McDonald, Sylvia

    In: Hogan, Michie, Tyson, Vince

    List spots: 1 rookie spot and 4 main list spots OR flexibility up to 3 rookie spots and 2 main list spot if we wish to expand our rookies from 4 to 5 or 6.

    Still on the chopping block: Magner, Jetta, Nicholson

    Still tradeable if someones interested: Strauss, Blease, Tapscott, Bail

    Current picks: 9, 40, 57, PSD

    I see us now trying to flirt around the edges and look at upgrading picks if possible. I'd also like to see us really survey the delisted pool looking for that gem (Guerra at Hawthorn type). I'm still less than convinced of the value of taking Magner, Jetta and Nicholson in to next year when you see guys we got with late picks and rookie picks last year (Terlich, Clisby).

    If we intend to take Cross and upgrade Clisby or Magner, then we need at least one more player to go. You would think that Jetta would have to be next cab off the rank. Our remaining trade bait does not look very 'appetizing' to me, I expect that Tapscott, Bail, Blease and Strauss will all be on the list next year.

    Surely Nicholson goes, since he's an athlete, not a footballer...

    I've got a soft spot for Jetta.

    I like Jetta more than Nicholson and Magner but he's the worst performed of the 3 at VFL level

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
