''Spoke to jack fitzpatrick's father yesterday! He's gone from MFC! He will be traded for anything at years end! Also melb & syd r in talks on a possible trade for Reid ! Rumoured our first pick...

interesting..

That's interesting, Reid would be a good replacement for Clark. Yet to take it to the next level but a lot of promise, a good ruck/froward option who is pretty good at contested clearances. Watch how the Swans often use him to come off the line from HF, at centre bounces...he's very good at this.

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.

Sheeit, if 12 year old kids have too much time on their hands, what's that say about the rest of us??

I don't think its impossible.

Hes not getting a game as a fwd due to the fwd stocks being quite strong, he's probably too valuable to be a depth player, they could get something decent for him and have a cheaper random as a depth player.

Roos would have coached reid wouldn't he have?

Reid is a victorian isn't he?

If he comes to melbourne he can work with one of the most talked up young forwards in the game and potentialy build a formidable duo.

We would pay him quite handsomely, gets to work with 'the messiah'.

we would probably pay sydney overs.

its really a win win for everyone involved.

I would take Reid. He is mobile and has contested marking skills. He gets squeezed out with Kurt and Buddy on the smaller SCG. He signed a long term deal with Sydney a few years ago.

Sorry guys...I can't see us getting Petracca unless we lose this week...I mean if GWS actually try and win.

exactly he'll be taken with P-1, whether by the Saints, or by another buyer.

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

My comment follows the poster's, when he says Lyons played a great game on the weekend. That means the Crows will be more likely to keep him.

Saints SHOULD'T take Petracca at pick 1 if their realistic about having a possible replacement for Riewoldt (not sure about the spelling) when he retires. Petracca SHOULD be available at pick 2...which we most likely wont have.

Beat me to it my thoughts exactly, not sure what radio show it was yesterday but a mention was made of Sam Reid slowly being moved out of the Sydney side position wise and takers could be moving behind the scenes.

I thought to myself he'd be worth looking at.

I dont believe he has done a great deal until the weekend gone.

He has a lot of mids to compete for position against. out of danger, sloane, the crouch brothers, jaesch will prob move to the midfield, kerridge, douglas, not sure how long van berlo or thompson have.

I believe he plays an inside role, but we probably have enough guys that can do the inside work. i wonder if kerridge is tradable.

Everyone seems very confident of us beating gws and I am just wondering why? 50/50 if you ask me

Because they're tanking to get Petracca. They know if we finish beneath them on the ladder they drop two places in the draft due to Frawley compo.

Posted (edited)

I've never watched him play personally...but would pick 3 get us Tom Mitchell and Sam Reid... or would we have to throw in extra incentives?

That should easily get it done. Any more and that's overs I reckon. Though I'm not sure about trading our first pick for 2 players with relatively low ceilings. Sure there's an argument to say that we should play the percentages and chase 2 established and more well-known players (especially given our recent drafting/development of picks) but I think we're cutting of our nose to spite our face in terms of long term development with that deal.

If we do make that deal...it will really good for us IMO. From what I've heard (might be wrong), I dont think there are any stand out midfielders other than Petracca. I mean Brayshaw is solid and consistent...but ye thats all i know about him. My friends said (Sydney and not Sydney supporters) that Mitchell is probably as good as a top 5 draft pick (in terms of talent...not what he's worth). So, if we got Mitchell and Reid for pick 3..it would definitely be a win for us (in my opinion). Whether its a win for Sydney...I have no idea...I think they need defenders? I hope this makes sense to you guys...i rushed it!

they have bigger needs than replacing reiwoldt. replacing Hayes is a bigger need, & goddard, del, etc

Weren't Sydney picking up that bargain first rounder via their academy? Wouldn't trading them our top 3 pick ruin their bidding system for him?

There is no way it would be a done deal but if they said yes it would be a massive win for us. As for low ceilings, these are 2 young players with a huge upside.

I get that this puts me in the basket as one of those guys and I'm cool with that. Balls to listening to someone with that many exclamation marks.

@rjay ye...true we would need to offer something extra. If we can provide good enough personal incentives I.e money, more opportunities etc then I think we could get a decent deal done. Don't Sydney need to clear up some salary as well? How bout pick 3 and 20 for those 2 and a later draft pick?

Posted

Pick 2 and 3 / 3 and 4 would not affect Sydney's ability to draft Isaac Heeney at all. Academy bidding, like father-son, is done compared to actual draft selection, and conducted prior to trade period.

Would be very happy to get Reid, but would definitely want something else.

Reid and Malceski for pick 3 or 4 would be worth considering.

Dw guys Shiel is still a possibility. Apparently the article about him resigning with GWS is [censored].

where did you hear that Mon

I really hope the Dees float a Watts for Armitage trade. Would help fill a gap without dipping into our draft picks.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
