Interestingly GNF has gone quiet. Perhaps his source has "muted" him again about a possible big fish ...

We can only hope!

More likely his 'sources' if even real were feeding him carp

Or he just has simply has nothing. Plain and simple.

The bloke tries to turn this site into a bloody circus only to look like an absolute fool at the end.

Don't understand why people take him serious.

Geez there's some Negative Nancy's on this site....

Brayshaw and Lever. Dees wanted a pick further down the first round order but may have to go early on Lever

No Trengove to Adelaide??? haha joking about

I agree with this - ready to go players who can play round 1 in 2015.

They may not be perfect (development required) but big bodies who can run and tackle is what we need. No project talls/players.

I see us taking Brayshaw & Petracca or Braysgaw and Lever/Mid (most likely option 2 as Petracca is all but picked for pick 1) and I suspect Lever as he is ready to go and Roos likes big mids (even if he is mooted as a KPP< if he can run he'll be a mid under Roos IMO)

My predictions for today:

1) Watts and pick 23 to Adelaide for Pick 10.

2) Pick 10 and pick 3 to Sydney for Luke Parker and pick 39.

Fully expect to be wrong about this. Any other predictions?

There is no chance that Sydney would trade Parker, none.

10/10 for creativity.

Jack Watts, pick 2, pick 3 and pick 23 to Carlton for Brock McLean

McLean then on traded to West Coast for Jamie Bennell!

WELCOME BACK TO MELBOURNE JAMIE BENNELL!!!!!!

I don't get the point of coming up with hypothetical trades. If the club or rumours are circulating about us targeting a certain player it's fair to speculate what it would take but when you're just throwing names around for the hell of it what's the point?

"Never say Never" - @melbournefc Josh Mahoney on whether picks 2 & 3 could be traded today #NABTradeRadio

[G-max 154]

I would look at it like putting in a bet or a tip. Just a bit of fun. Apparently I'm doing this wrong and it needs to be a riddle or a "club informant" that I know of. For what it's worth, I heard very early on that Watts would be shopped. Parker is obviously a stretch but the Kennedy rumours made sense because they can't add players and we have multiple draft picks to make it worth their while parting with a quality midfielder. GWS now enter the mix for that but they probably have their eye on pick 1.

Isn't speculation what this thread - and most other threads at the moment - are about? Dangerfield anyone? Kennedy perhaps? Hell, some noodles even talked about us trading for Beams and Griffin after those players had explicitly stated their preferred destination.

So when Josh says they will keep the picks he's really saying , keep for someone really spesh!! lol

Why do people ever believe whats said this time of year...its only ever what HAPPENS . It's all a game. Love it

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Let's be realistic, Melbourne are probably just having trouble coordinating flights so that both Kennedy and Dangerfield arrive in Melbourne at the same time for their grand unveiling. This would explain why things have been so quiet lately.

[G-max 154]

Once again, some cause for hope that we have something brewing - the last day of the trade period is always the biggest:

They seem to be having trouble with the DeLorean too, they cant get it to go back to yesterday 2.55pm.

No I wont, I'm happy with that.

Well some Sydney flights were cancelled after the storms up here.

If we did Watts and pick 23 to Adelaide for Pick 10 then the Kennedy trade would be on unless the 12 was to satisfy adelaide for Danger in which case we would have to off load watts to the weagles for 11 or Richmond for 12.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Shut up shop now. 2&3 for Brayshaw and Lever and I'm happy.

Garlett and Lamumba improvements on what we have, Stretch on the cheap, yes we didn't bring in any experienced mids but we had a crack at it and no one bit, no point crying over it. It's all about incremental improvement. We need a couple more wins next year which will hopefully come and maybe there will be a tipping point where we are a desire able destination- bring in a gun FA next year and the best mid available with whatever pick we have next draft, trade or delist the remainder of the "scarred" players and were a new team.

That Howe for pick 6 thing seems like way overs. Love Howe but he's not worth pick 6.

Having said that, GWS are probably the only team in the comp who would actually pay it. They need to generate some excitement for crowds and Howe will provide that.

Having someone up for mark of the year every week wearing their jumper could help drum up supporters.
