Potential Trades [Warning: Reading this thread may self-destruct]

I actually think watts would appeal to them more than trengove

[Return to Glory 8,468]

Very good athlete, long-limbed. Ball use and decision making are definitely work-in-progress at best and he needs to put on size to grapple with the bigger forwards, was manhandled at times this year.

Uncanny how this appears to be a word for word description of our good friend Cale M.

Where do I sign?

Though you'd be hard pressed getting a second rounder back from Adelaide and GWS wouldn't be giving Bugg up that cheap, he's a decent player.

[DemonOX 8,837]

And don't worry, some surprises to come this year too

Please explain (further)?

It seems that too many posters are clambering to offload Watts, Trengove and Toumpas as though Roos has no long-term plans for them. Personally i consider that all three are potential stars for the MFC and i suspect that Roos may share that view. How many other AFL Clubs have their supporters clambering to offload their No.s. 1, 2 & 3 draft picks, especiall ywhen one is a past (co)captain?

Take it or leave it for me on Adelaide. Dangerfield is not worth overs and pick 2 + Trengove would surely be enough. If not tough luck. There is Shiel, Jack Steven, Mitchell (sydney) and Im sure others I cant think of.

Might be right about Bugg though. 2nd rounder should do it though.

Um excuse me but I did not name Toumpas, he needs time. Give him a year in the gym and VFL. Soundnt play seniors at all next year. I think he will be a good player actually, regrettably perhaps not Wines quality but its early times.

I do believe its time for Watts and Trengove however. Watts needs a fresh start and so does Melbourne. It needs to start over and its the best thing for the club and player. Trengove, I feel was damaged from the captaincy and I dont see anything special in this person to consider otherwise.

Well having another look at it, if we recruit Malceski and Jones through FA we wouldn't be getting pick 3 for Frawley, going by the rules of the system.

If we can complete a couple of those transactions, we'll be looking a lot better.

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Garlett for Blease?

We will not take any FA's. Delisted FA's are different. We will not again, water down our compo.

Love it

[Supermercado 2,802]

2 + 3 for Mitchell, Reid, Malceski and Sydney's first pick.

Go on Swans, your cap is stuffed.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Pick 80 for Heppell and Zaharakis? :D

May have to wait a fair while before they play...

Stuffed? I'm sure they'll find a way to offer Paddy Ryder $20 million over 27 years.

A surprise is just that D-ox. We had a couple last year in Tyson & Vince. We will probably get someone left field that none have talked about ie: no I have no info for you!

[DeePicks 66]

To free up some $$ for the Swans and give them a shot a Wright to take over from Pyke and another young mid which won't cost so much $$ (yet) I'll offer pick 2 & 3 for Parker & Mitchell and maybe Malceski. Love the way Parker plays his footy!

[rjay 25,307]

Buntine looked really good to me towards the end of the year. Anyone know his contract status.

[BIG JIM 508]

Would love Melbourne to try get Martin from the tigers to ad some real grunt in our midfield. The bad thing is we could of got the boy for next to nothing last year. I know some will say he has to much baggage but the kid plays footy the right way and can really turn a game on its head with his kicking power. I would give up pick 3 for dusty in a heartbeat he is about to just come into that age were he will just explode IMO . Thoughts?

Simple no. Still too many issues

It would've been hard to do a swap for Dusty last year like we did with Tyson, where we got a good draft pick in return as well as the player for our picks. We didn't have the range of high end picks that we might have this year, eg, 2, 3 Chip?, 21PP???, 23 second round. Roos said he wants 5 picks in the top 25 (I think 25, not sure of number). Gives him great flexibility. Maybe Dusty is still on the radar?

Watts, Trengove & the Toump won't be traded.

One reason why he wont part with both 2 & 3 (if we get it? but we bloody well better!)

In regards to Toump I heard he wants to go back home??
