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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
