My Prediction for our trade/draft period.

Toumpas to Port for Pick 29

Jeremy Howe to GC for Pick 19(or 22) and 40

Pick 29 to Essendon for Melksham

Pick 25 and 43 to GWS for Tom Bugg and Pick 27

Pick 40 to Collingwood for Kennedy

Draft Day

Pick 6 (Tall)

Pick 19(or 22) (mid)

Pick 27 (mid)

Vandenberg upgrade

Harmes Upgrade

Out

Toumpas

Howe

pick 25

Pick 43

IN

Melksham

Bugg

Kennedy

pick 19(22)

pick 27

Mahoney has said that we want to complement our trade period with further high draft picks, this prediction sets us up with 3 solid players all coming to us relatively cheaply, and continues to build our list with 3 high draft picks. Furthermore these movements adhere to the 6 vacancies on our list.

T Mac will become our second forward.

Nah Tmac best position is a back. Roosy had to roll the dice in that Essendon game. He is the backman of the future. Up there with Talia and McGovern in terms of young KPD

I think it will be a 3 way trade

Andrew Moore to Pies, Toumpas to Port, Kennedy to Dees

Not yet, maybe in 2016.

Nah, right now. Best inside mid we have.

Leads the club in average Contested Possessions and Clearances in 2015.

Happy with both of them 'rpfc', I think Tyson is a bit stronger in tight over the ball but Viney harder at his attack on the ball.

My original post was in response to someone calling Tyson an outside mid which he clearly isn't.

I disagree, we have plenty coming through who can play as key backs. Omac, White, Frost ect can all come in. Garland just re signed to.

TMac has learnt from the best forwards in the game for the past few years and is primed to work alongside Hogan up forward

White is not a KPP, OMac is still very inexperienced, and Frost only has 9 toes. I think TMac will be playing in the backline next season.

Howe for Suns pick 19.

Toumpas to Power, Moore (or Young) to Bombers and Melksham to Dees.

Kennedy & Pies pick 47 to Dees for pick 27.

Bugg to Dees for pick 47

Get Melksham, Bugg & Kennedy & ND19

Release Howe and Toumpas

Draft picks #6 (Charlie Curnow) #19 (Ryan Clarke) #45 (Kurt Mutimer).

Upgrade Harmes and Vandenburg.

Class vs Grunt,

Tyson finds space in tight, Viney tries to break through the wall

Both I think will be premier midfielders in the comp for a long period of time

personally think Christian Salem will be better than both when he transitions to the midfield, best skills at the club, speed, grunt, class in tight, damaging outside as well.

Throw in Brayshaw and Petracca, Neil Bullen looks to be alright too..

starting to look like a seriously good core of players

probably the best young key back and key forward in the comp too

Mgoven probably just pips Mcdonald but i'd say Hogan is the best young key forward,

Posted

Watts 196cm 88kg

Lynch 192cm 87kg

I think Watts is gone, we made a play for Lynch and failed.

Let him be someone else's problem.

The contested mark stat is interesting, how many years on the list?

Seven I believe

It is and will remain an interesting point of ongoing debate.

YES TMcD has had a fantastic learning experience against some of the best KPP forwards, in a similar way that our greatest goal-kicker, DN did early in his career.

Personally I believe he could go on to be one of our better KPP forwards in tandem with JH

On the other hand he is doing a great job at CHB and unless the likes of Frost or his own young bro come along quickly, and I mean start to show as early as preseason 2016, JMc will stay as a defender for most of 2016.

All quiet today but in my opinion I think:

Howe to Pies

Dees get Kennedy and pick 29

Melksham to Dees

Pick 29 to Bombers

Toumpas to Port for pick 31

Bugg to Dees for pick 46

Draft 6, 26, 31 (Charlie Curnow, Thomas Cole, Ben Mckay)

Get Kennedy, Bugg, Melksham

Lose Howe, Toumpas and pick 46

Yeah interesting with TMac. He did have a great year at CHB in the first half of the season, main problem with him though is he can't lock down on the bigger FF. Mostly the lead up tall forwards.

Roos did mention he thought Frost was going to be a Key Defender. At the moment with Dunn and Frost as the big men down there, would that free up TMac to become a CHF? Has a great tank, works hard both ways and can take a contested mark. Would be helpful having someone up there that would help JH, I don't think Dawes is exactly doing that at the moment.

I like Dawes aggression at the contest though, since he isn't kicking goals or getting much ball around the ground would it be possible to push him back? Big ask and big risk but I guess he is bigger and stronger than TMac.

I am still hoping for Treloar... he would bring us into finals contention in 2016 IMO

TRELOA IS NOT COMING!!

Dont understand why some on here seriously cannot understand the fact that Treloar will simply not play for us. Gubby Allen is just trying to be a grub and play hardball. He will get to Collingwood and no one else.

Forget about Treloar he has no interest in the Melbourne Football Club at all. Stop trying to believe in fairytales.

Reminds me of how some seriously believe Danger was going to be a Demon as early as last week.

I know its been speculated upon in the media but Adam Tomlinson definitely wants out. Waiting for Cam McCarthy deal to go through. Would be a nice pairing with hogan. Ideally we would get a second rounder for howe and that might work, otherwise next years second rounder might get it done.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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
