Luke Tapscott, the forgotten man.

If we throw in Strauss, maybe he, Blease and Tapscott will add up to Carlton's first round pick?! I'll settle for those three and our fifth round pick for their fourth rounder.

Just one of the players and the fifth for their fourth. They'd be stupid to take a risk on all three - but then again this is the club that was laughing at us when they got Chris Johnson in the PSD.

Why do crud players who are going to be delisted nominate a preferred club anyway? Surely you'd just go anywhere that would have you.

I remember Peter Walsh putting in a similar request to Craig Cameron in the mid 00s - "I know I'm gone, if you could find me a new club I'd be grateful". The club obliged and traded him to Port, and moved up two places in the draft.

Because the club hasn't confirmed they will delist them.

If all three of their exit interviews the club stated we will try and trade you. If it doesn't eventuate, we will reassess.

What we have done in the past is delist players, only for other clubs to pick them up. Why not try and get something for them…..

Because we aren't fooling anyone! I agree that it's worth a shot and why not be patient, but I think only Blease would have a tiny tiny amount of value and as he's out of contract he could eventually go the PSD and get to his destination anyway.

Tapscott for a Jetta style rookying because the guy plays like he actually gives a damn. Even if he doesn't get a kick at least someone gets tackled or bumped and is sore the next day.

That's not answering Nasher's question.

It's one thing for Melbourne to say 'we're going to look to trade Tapscott' because, yes, otherwise we'd just delist him.

It's another thing altogether for Tapscott to nominate his preferred club. Firstly, as Nasher said why would you pin all your hopes on one club? Why not say 'look, if it's not working out here I'd love to get another chance anywhere you can orchestrate a trade'. Secondly, what makes him think he has any power?
