So, do we have a pick in 2nd Rnd ?

yes we do. >>> http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-01/indicative-draft-order-round-six-edition

So what would Pick 25 & say Tyson, net us in a pick ?

What would Garlett and Pick 43 net us, in a pick?

Tyson & pick 25 would probably land us a pick between 15 & 20 if we were to add Hunt and that may tempt Port to let go Wines.

Garlett and pick 43 wouldn't land us much of a pick maybe pick 40 but pick 43 and Garlett should land us Langdon you wouldn't want to pay much more for Langdon.

    Langdon is being chased by several clubs and it would cost more than that if a deal could be done.

    No it shouldn't he would not be able to get into our senior team. If it costs more let him go.

    more likely it is because they think he might be a bargain

    According to Kane Cornes, Port have had an offer on the table to Wines for some time. The offer would make him the highest paid at the club. I wonder what the  hold up is? Perhaps chasing success over mediocrity.

    seller's market, ethan

    there is no need for wines to hurry. besides may want a longer or shorter contract

    90% sure to re-sign though. mfc got nothing tradewise to offer

    best to hope he only extends till his rfa year (not long), then we can swoop

    I don't know Langdon.  I remember his name from U-18's, but I know nothink.

     

    But your see what i'm getting at, where there is a will, then there is a way.

    Actually I would prefer we went after DShiel, than Wines. Shiel is definately better in ball use.

    But I think we do need that extra quality inside player. 

    Maybe Maynard will come good, but he is also a mature age... VDB I don't know.

    It's time for some cleansing of the list, preferably Via trade than delisting.

    But we have to be in it, if we want the chance to win Anything.

    No chance of getting Wines as Lord Trav mentioned we have nothing to give Port.

    We can give them Jack Watts cardboard cutouts. I’m sure there are some in storage that need dusting and moving on. 

  • Quote

    Wines in our midfield would just be a ridiculous amount of inside grunt. I don't know how we'd manage it, but I think we could find a way to fit him in.

    Maybe the contract terms are too long, et?

    Everyone needs to get this in their head.

    We do not have a first round pick this year.

    We are not allowed to trade our first round pick from next year. 

    How do we get Wines or other players who are not free agents and have to be traded for? The answer is we can’t, unless we trade our quality. So unless we are willing to trade Hogan, Oliver or Petracca, then this trade, or trades for other good players such as Langdon, cannot happen.

    Who says we can't trade out first rounder next year? AFLs policy on this is anything but clear. They approved the Cats trading out there's when no-one thought they'd be able to.

  • Quote

    yes, the 'can't trade your first rounder in consecutive years is very rubbery

    as we picked oliver and weideman three years back and haven't had a first rounder since then, it would seem that we can't trade it

    but geelong seemed to have no dramas doing the equivalent last year

    as per usual, the afl makes it up as it goes along

    It seems if the will is strong enough,  the AFL will bend ?

    Poor old conservative Melbourne has never bent anything since back in the mid 60's,,,  when the whole world was bending things, from rules, to spoons.

     

     

    Since that time the only thing Melbourne has bent, is our minds.

    I think with Wines we'd run the risk of being like Port currently... Boak, Wines, Ebert, Rockliff... Plenty of grunt but little class or x-factor in the middle.

    They may have won last night, but they're an average side.

    He isn’t going anywhere. Said he will decide soon so he can only be staying at port and holding out for the best contract

    He said the exact same thing in late April also and when interviewed by Garry on SEN this week got a little uncomfortable and couldn't give a straight answer. He's definitely considering bigger offers IMO

    rotations mach5, rotations. You don't play all the same type in the one setup you rotate them.

    He’s great but not what our midfield ‘needs’...

    Gaff is definitely a skill set that would compliment Viney/Oliver/Jones/Harmes/Brayshaw et al.

    Also Petracca over the next few years will progressively spend more time in the midfield and he is something no team has enough of; power mid with good hands and explosive speed culminating in very good skills out of a contest.

    So keep some room for that to happen...

    I'd say Carlton or maybe even Essendon are into him.

    Essendon need to learn how run hard defensively as a unit.

    St Kilda don't need his grunt - they need class.

    Dogs wouldn't be an attractive destination at the moment, all going pear-shaped.

    Hawthorn would be just the type of team to come out of nowhere with a big offer.

    Did you see his game last night?

    ”We don’t need that” 

    only arrogance or stupidity would turn that down

    WYL, let's have a tiresome back and forth over the definition of 'needs' in inverted commas...

    Or you can accept that Viney and Oliver and Jones have more in common with Wines than they do with Gaff or other outside players?

    North want a big fish to choose them and they are looking better now than they were even 4-5 weeks ago

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
