Let's play it safe, stick with 6, pick up the best KPF available, consider Petracca the new boom recruit, and open up the mythical war chest next year for whatever we deem to lack. I'm a bit weary of being too aggressive for a speculative kid.

Very Very smart post we have a new kid in truck we desperatly need a KPP for Hoges well said Edited by Middymalt

I listen via TuneIn Radio app and it's not working for me either.

Any kid we get at ND6 who is above 6'4 won't be able to help Hogan for a few years...

is that necessarily an argument not to do it however ? Just asking

The Roos way us to bring in players to fill specific roles. I would have thought we would go this way. Possibly Goody and Macca prefer to hone some sapling into that player. Just a thought.

Can we temp fill the assistant fwd role til a newbie develops ?

We're not going to perfect a side in 2015/2016

All that said id be surprised of we have a decent pick if it doesn't go to a 185 sized prototype style mid who a foity talent first...athlete 2nd

Not everyone's going to have Pretrac's build at 18.

Wasn't Fyfe overlooked on the basis of his thin wirey frame?

And the fact he was on a undersized forward flanker who was a great contested mark.

Nobody foresaw him becoming a dominant mid, not even Freo.

Well Francis is 6.36 foot tall (192cm) which might as well be 6'4. Given his mobility and ability to play on a flank/midfield I'd say that he is more than capable of playing a role next to the Hulk given his marking ability

If pick 5 goes to the Suns that increases our chance of being able to get him also.

Jansen? Yuk.

Geelong happy to give up on him, because while a good size, they have put a lot of work into his kicking and not seen any improvement.

Couldn't hit water from a boat.

Take a stab? Well considering the club has those players in its sights isn't a stab as such, just a scope of the players were talking to. I'd say Gaff or Prestia most likely, and Parker not Hannebury my mistake - jet lag issue there I'm afraid, I'll edit if can be bothered, it's 5pm here in NYC & I'm feeling "meh"..

Ah jetlag, that explains your post then, ok.

Parker - not Hannerbury - I see. Yes, all four of those players have been talked about, so we will see in 12 months time I guess, not soon. I'll 'take a stab' and pick Prestia.

Do keep the positivity coming though to restore some balance.

If you weren't all so desperate you'd realise that Nudge is not referring to this trade period but the future. Soon for you blokes in the life of a rebuild in next Wednesday, the 'soon' that Nudge refers to is within the coming years.

Yes I gathered that fork, thanks for the appraisal on being desperate champ. That's a first.

True, but better to grab one now than pay extra later.

If we're to keep Dawes and Pedersen, I'd be more comfortable knowing there's a quality young tall developing in behind them.

Think if someone like Weideman has a year to develop, he might be able to start making some meaningful contributions in year 2.

Bell can play. I thought he had a solid year, improving type, was one of Carlton's best players this year.

I think they'll regret letting him go, and he will be a good pick up for Brisbane.

Bell is returning to QLD as his father is very unwell.

Carlton would be shattered that he is leaving but good on them for not making life difficult for him.

His dad has cancer and there is no one left to look after his other siblings up in Brisbane.

Im pretty sure Carlton let him go for family reasons and nothing else.

If we're able to upgrade to pick 8 which means we have picks 6 & 8 does anyone see the possibility that we could get both Curnow and Francis.

That would be a dream for me

Probably more likely to get Curnow and Weideman.

Francis probably gone by our first pick.

With the report on the latest multi trade deal, we weren't apart of it.

St. Kilda give pick 5 to Port. In exchange for pick 10 and future first round.

Port then use the pick 5 plus 19 to the Suns for Charlie Dixon.

Suns then have Pick 3, 5 16 & 19

Now if we couldn't come to some arrangement between with those numbers on the table, we'd be mad.

Surely we could get 3 & 19 for 6 and a pick 3rd rounder of ours. Is workable.

We then have Curnow as a lock in the Draft.

Until we get something for Toumpas I don't know what we can offer Pies for Kennedy, or GWS for Bugg.

So GC give us two pick upgrades coz we are so nice and polite?

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
