I am getting more convinced with each passing hour, that we are trying to do another deal with Bugg involved.

It is a simple deal for probably our pick 50, yet it is not being done and there appears no angst from anyone about it, nor is it being reported on.

We now have only 1.5 days left of the trade period and it doesn't make sense to me otherwise.

like what else? we should trade all our picks (besides 50 that goes for Bugg and our 5, 6th and 7th round) for 17. If we can, Grab some more talent for pick 17

What about Tomlinson and Bugg for 29 and 50.

The last pick in the draft that's worth any points is Pick 73 I think, worth 9 points. So Picks 29, 46 & 64 are the only ones we have worth anything given Pick 50 already seems to be allocated.

I wonder what role people expect Tomlinson to play for us. He is not quite a mid, forward, back or ruck. Has a tank but that is about it from what I have seen.

He played his best football down back. I'd play him as a key position defender and leave Frost or McDonald forward. That is if we took him.

I mentioned this in another thread but surely we are looking at another ruck man.....

Agree. In the games i have seen him play, he's done nothing to suggest that he will become a good AFL player, let alone a great/star player. Overrated (probably why Carlton are interested in him)

Playrers with a big tank will be very valuable now the sub rule is gone. Hes shown he can get the footy and cover a lot of ground at AFL level.. he averages a lot of marks and works hard.

Would be a very good link man between the arcs. Hes not a forward though, doesnt kick goals.

A role that's like a combination of Isaac Smith and Jack Gunston.

Bugg is not rating a mention anywhere. Strange.

There's plenty in my room.Maybe you bathe too frequently.

Why don't you just tell them to bugg-er off?

Just looked at his highlights and he reminds me of a similar type to Viney. In fact all 3 of the players we are going to/have picked up seem to show ferocity at the pill. After all of the extremely negative talk on here about trade week I feel confident that the ins will add a bit of grunt to the team. Not big fish but man eaters never the less

FWIW re Tomlinson...

Carlton offering big money for 3 years I am hearing. He is to move in with Dom Tyson back in Melbourne. If we trade McCarthy then Tommo will be staying. If we keep McCarthy then Tommo will be gone with the other boys to Carlton (has to be a ripper trade though).

Looks like Carlton are going to haul in 4 or 5 GWS boys with just two picks

I have no idea if any of them are any good or not

Not really, SOS is just bringing the rejects he recruited down to the Blues to further continue their ineptness.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
