Players to target at the end of the year

Would laugh if we lose this weekend, secure pick 2, then trade it away and forgo Petracca anyway.

Although apparently Colonwood are quite keen on him too. Would they give up Beams in exchange for pick 2? Petracca is a Pies supporter too...

 

Yep. Petracca and a fringe player can get Beams but it won't happen unless we offer good enough personal terms. And ye I reckon if we don't get Petracca I.e pick 2...we should trade away our early picks for sure.

 

Ye I was thinking Priddis who is an absolute gun...but he's also a [censored] kick. Think he got 18 tackles against Richmond!!

Watts for Armitage. Would spoil the GWs trade for Cameron at the same time.

 

does that possibly make it even more likely we'll trade our early picks ?

I could see Roos trading one of our early picks, assuming we get one for Chip leaving. Roos has shown a liking for the ready made player over the unknown draft pick.

Plus I'm sure in the back of his mind....he's prioritising short term improvement as opposed to long term so that he doesn't ruin his reputation as bad. But neither will really be at the expense of the club

You know this for sure yeah? Would love to see you produce a source that says the Pies would hand Beams over for Petracca and steak knives.

I'm a big Armitage fan and would love him at Melbourne.... but I think we would need to give more than Watts.

Isn't it obvious that its just my opinion. For a guy called 'wiseblood', you sound like an cynical fool.

Say that then. You said above that, and I quote, "Yep. Petracca and a fringe player can get Beams..." as if you know that the Pies will hand him over for that. Totally different to "I think we can land Beams if....". I'm not going to go for personal attacks though, just learn how to phrase your posts.

Well sorry mate, I don't want to go for personal attacks either. It's just most of the posts on this thread are opinions so I was hoping that it wasn't necessary for me to say, 'I think'.

Not just a liking but almost a disdain in respect to the draft much preferring as you say known entities than rolling the dice in Kiddie Lotto.


I think almost from an ego point of view, Roos would rather get immediate success for this team and receive the credit, rather than set us up for long term success that his successor will receive all the credit for.

A healthy balance of both draftees (Salem, JKH) and recruits (Tyson, Cross, Vince) would be ideal, and that's exactly what they nailed last year. No doubt they will again.

There's a difference...a fundamental one between the better teams in this comp and say...us. They use the draft to bolster stocks and build for the future, to augment a list. We've gone madly shopping with picks for our next Messiah, then the next, only to fail..etc. We've made it the cornerstone of list development. its A building block, not THE one. Roos knows and understands this and will guide this club as we change tac.

If he's thinking this way then I hope he resigns today and moves on.

collingwood will be looking for forwards so that means chucking money GWS players to try to pick one up or will be chasing early draft picks to pick up one and up and coming forward. i suspect chasing ready made players is more likely if not we maybe able to do a deal for one of our early picks.


We're just saying that he's probably trying to prioritise short term imporvement as much as possible. It's not a bad thing is it? He will be getting ready made players. I doubt he will do it at the expense of the club

That won't help.

Say why dude, If we are to delist a whole bunch, and a coupe retired, we can't replace them with just petrecca.

Found this comment on one of the MFC facebook pages..

I know you are only passing it on dazzle, so I'm not shooting the messenger, but I don't believe a single thing that is said on FB. 12 year old kids with too much time on their hands.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
