Really I know I shouldn't do this to the less fortunate but from the Frawley thread Post #2045 which responded to your post of

You look absolutely silly here.. why?

Daniel Talia who just won Adelaides best and fairest and in the All Australian 40 squad averages 11.8 disaposals per game this year. He played all 22 games.

I would happily give up first round draft pick.

and your response was

Olisik

He was taken in the rookie draft and you would want to give up pick 2 or 3 for him?

So I'm not making sh%t up nor deluded, you're just playing silly buggers or were to dumb to realise Dazzle was talking about Talia even though he actually named the player for you

I'll make a note not to listen to Olisik

Which player was the link about? Frost or Talia?

You need to just move on, the only poster people are judging is you, olisik.

You are the one that read it wrong, and the one with the terrible point about key defenders.

Slink away, don't attack.

 

Would pick 2 get you O'Rourke, Jaksch and Frost from GWS if you threw in say Blease, who is a good mate of the $7m man and/or a later pick.

Pick 2 would get them Petracca if Saints pass on him.

None of the GWS guys I named is a star but all could have good careers with us.

Problem could be if Saints took Petracca then GWS could take Brayshaw and 2 best mids are gone.

Trading for pick 3 if we get it, could solve that problem if we promised not to take Petracca.

Other possibility is if we get a PP even say at about 20 we could trade for O'Rourke and Frost and get a lower pick back.

That would leave higher picks to trade 1 and use the other in draft.

I agree with what you say, but the thing is even if we trade pick 3 and promise not to take petracca the possibility of saints taking him with 1 is still the same. GWS would have to somehow find out what the saints plans are first.

IF we are to trade pick 2, it has to be for a proven young gun, but who would want to risk trading a known quality for what is unknown- there would have to be some kind of go home factor involved.

I think trading pick 2 away is too risky for the reasons you outlined- we could miss out on both the gun midfielders. I think the move to make would be floating pick 3 for whoever wants a bite at one of the talls. Dogs or Blues may be interested in trade of a player and first round picks. Dogs have one go the lowest rankings for marks inside 50 in the legue.

Must hold on to 2 unless a trade involving a mid that's too good to refuse comes into play (unlikely). Pick 3 is the go for me.

Assuming we even get pick 3, that is

Rather than starting a seperate topic some tragic news coming out of Perth at the moment in regard to a player who was mentioned as a possible target for next season.

Anthony Morabito looks to have done his knee again, tragedy if true just couldn't get his body right

Feel for Morabito - doesn't seem fair when this happens to him and other players seem to take their careers for granted e.g Sylvia

His mentality strength must have hit an all new low for him now.

poor kid

.... what?

Horrible news for Morabito, was going to be an absolute gun a few years back and now he may never play again. Just tragic.

Heard this a few minutes ago 'Pennant', how many times do you keep fronting up to rehab? He may have been a chance this weekend too depending on Ballantyne.

He looked the goods early on, can he keep going...who knows, hope something works out for him.

Proof read wouldn't go astray Daz!

Really feel for Morabito, but that's footy I suppose.

cheers.

Latest report is no structural damage for Morabito, good to hear the kid needs a bit of luck

Surely we would be one of the clubs throwing the kitchen sink at Jake Carlisle.

Why not, if they want Clark seems like a good swap.

I would give them Clark and pick 3 if I had to, and pay Carlisle what he wants. He is bloody good and only going to get better.

I'd go down the road of the get out clause before offering anything up for him

Yep, I guess my point is more about them chasing Clark. Happy to get compensated for Clark and take Carlisle for nix.

Not sure where to put this, but:

Bit of news out of @melbournefc , they've put a lot of work into blease (pick 17), but I understand he wants a trade to @CarltonFC #afl

Thoughts? He was probably going to be delisted anyway, but would you be happy with a late pick or is there a (realistic) trade for a player we would go for IF this tweet turns out to be true?

We may get a half eaten pie and a first choice orange cutter in exchange for him ;).

Blease Tapscott and Strauss were all told in their exit interviews that we will try to on trade them.
If unsuccessful, they will reassess.

Blease has been talking to Carlton for a while, and Strauss has also had some chats.

So if we get anything for those 3, its a bonus

Anyone from other clubs we are chasing?

Dont attack? And what the [censored] are you trying to do with every 2nd post I make which has nothing to do with you?

Grow up mate, poor form.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
