Traded out 43 for a third next year

Guess we don’t want anyone other than woewodin, otherwise it doesn’t make much sense, to get better than 43 next year crows going to need to be bottom 4 again

For most of the early part of last night’s first round of the draft, things were going as planned with the exception of some brief disruptions when a couple of the pick trades were announced. The surp

Looks like Rooey, Howey and Woey.  Goody should be happy.

You're getting too caught up in the number of the picks. We will take Woewodin as our last selection (rightly or wrongly). So we either use 51 on Woewodin and be done for the night, or we ga

The whole 'can't trade multiple future picks' is to stop a team trading their future away. Not sure how the AFL thought that was an issue with us

Has anyone matched a bid for Woewodin then? Or don't we know yet?

Not yet mate. Will likely use our last pick on him. (Or will we??!?!)

Wasn’t for that.

it was for swapping picks we’ve already swapped with the crows. Attempt to stop academy bidding nonsense

JT might have to do a Sos/Dodoro and get one of his colleagues to bid for Woey just before our pick so we get the match factor going for him. Otherwise we’ll grab him

Do we know what the trade was? Were we using pick 39 along with another pick to move up to 35? 

Or were we just trying to get 35 to go with 39?

No idea, but my guess is 

36 and the Crows future 3rd 

For 39 and 43

Then we ended up just doing the second half of that.
 

We swapped 36 and 39 with the Crows during trade week so that was banned. 

We only planned 3 picks so unless we loved Soligo or the guys who went 37, 38 I can’t imagine we would’ve taken 2 picks there

Something to do with the Filth?

We could have taken Williams with the pick we traded, giving us a Hawkins type who can ruck a bit as well as key forward.

Andy M-W looking likely rookie and If no one picks Taj he could then be another. Are we looking at a ruck forward type in maybe Caminitti, or however you spell his name?

Interesting to see the plan.

If  you ask me, Demonstone, I reckon we just ran away with the chockie biscuits from these two draft rounds. JvR and BH were quite literally what we needed for our list - and were two young blokes so very close to the best available across both rounds.

DeeSpencer pointed out it's because we were trying to trade 36 and 39, which we'd traded with Adelaide in the trade period. Can't retrade the same picks to the same team

Bowie to Howey to Woey to Rooey. Goal!

...but, it was Gorney who cleared from the centre, as well.

Taj will be with pick 150 or whatever we have left, or rookie list?

51 traded out for a R4 2022, no Taj?

Why would we do that? Best case is saints finish last and that pick would only give us 55 without any fs or nga bids. Doesn’t make sense

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
