I hope this Pick 1 is worth all the capital and is a mega star

Who does he replace in our midfield?CP5  and he moves forward

Can this kid kick???

Posted

I would, based on Petty's injuries and his inconsistencies. He may play at his best next year but I am not betting on it.

Or for 1, we could just give WCE picks 6, 10 and F1st and keep 11.

I can only see Norf getting 1 if they give up 2 and 3, or split one of these to get another pick inside 10

These convoluted mega trades do my head in

I tend to agree with @Damo above, I’d take it.

I love Petty and would be pretty shattered to lose him as I think he’s great when up and running, at either end. His journey so far has been very stop start, so he could be perennially injured.

Hypothetically, if we got pick one though, I’d go to North to split it rather than take Reid. Then we could grab two of McKercher/Sanders and Duursma and fill two gaps instantly, bringing the level of our whole 18 up, rather than just one player

I can't see us getting our hands on this pick. North have a suite of picks and can trump anyone's offer to WC.

I'm quite happy for JT to take our picks to the draft and bring in some top end talent to the club

Trading Petty only works if:

1) we take a KPD ( Curtain/ O Sullivan) this year and have faith in our youth - Turner etc.

2) We have a pretty good feeling that one of TMac / BBB will be able to play the 1st/2nd tall. 
 

3) we have a good feeling that we will secure an out of contract KPF next year although we don’t seem to have any draft capital to make this work.

3 first round picks and Petty?
ummm, hell no!  I know there is talk about 6,11 and F1 for Pick1, but I think we'd want change in return later on (for Brown)

.... that means Petty for McAdam!

Lemme guess Adam Cooney came up with that megatrade?  I swear they just give him the megatrades to stop him from contributing too much to the conversation!

Spot on, that proposed trade is junk.

If we are making a play for the number 1 pick & Reid there are going to be alot of dissapointed people who want us to change our game plan. This would signify we are doubling down on it.

The bloke is a human battering ram that gets it forward at all costs. I haven't seen any evidence he kicks like Nick Daicos.

Really?

Never watched him live but all of the vision of Reid I have viewed indicates his DE is pretty tidy and can drop deft kicks on chests in tight areas. 
his ability to fend off, pivot and clear the footy shows great vision and decision making. 
 

I hope we sell the farm for this kid.

No I wouldn’t.

Petty is a premiership defender who also can be a target up fwd. 

I know nothing about this years draft crop except for what I’ve seen on YouTube and read on line. When I asked earlier about Reid’s kicking I was told it’s good but not elite. You can can argue the whole Petracca / Danger aren’t elite kicks either they’ve both proven themselves already. 
 

Add to that May has maybe 2-3 years left and Petty is only 23.

if WC trade pick 1 it’ll be north that get it. 

they’ve offered 4 picks and been rejected. they end up include pick 3 in the batch and get the deal done

The all of the picks Nth offered were outside the top 10 though... Nth didn't offer 2 or 3. The picks we have would be more valuable that picks in the late teens.

15, 18, 21 and assistance package end of first round 

WC want picks 2 and 3

How is 15,18,21 better than 6,11 and F1st that Melbourne have?

it’s not but it’s a negotiation. Nth will give up 3, 15, 18 plus…

or even 2 instead of 3 depending on who WC want

Not bad getting Reid for Mackay comp

7, 11, ff, and Van Rooyen to Eagles.

Should get it done.

    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
