What do we do? Do we get Pavlich or go for a young player

in the draft I would love to see Pavlich in a Melbourne jumper.

Posted

I think I read somewhere in the paper that Pavlich will stay with Freo if he thinks they're capable of winning a premiership. On that logic, the 0.01% chance we had of getting him is gone. We'll need a gun ruckman with our top pick if he's the best available.

Posted

If only it was that simple.

Pavlich will never play football for the Melbourne Football Club.

Hypothetically, I'd take Pavlich over a pick in an instant.

Posted

We need to get him lets do whatever it takes to get him playing for the red and blue

Posted

considering our position on the ladder, Its a given we will get a high draft pick, Pavlich as good as he is, isnt the magical solution to solve our problems.

yeah, what's tough is that generally traded players aren't superstars, but 'top up' players that fit into team lists.

its an easy fix, and its the obvious one, filling up ones list with proved players rather than untried players. but it would be nice to see a real bigname traded to the dees, someone you know will dominate. because year after year watching the new kids come through, and raving about them before realising 4 years later they haven't improved much is begininng to get annoying!

Trade First Pick plus Green for Pavlich

+

Trade Priority Pick (17th overall pick) plus C.Bruce for Ben Cousins

+

Pick up Judd in the pre-season draft

=

Premiership in 2008

B)

Pav is great, but he comes at a high price, 500K+ per year, plus players given up to get him to the MFC.

A pick will not always be a great plyer, but at 60k per year and no player movement it seems like the safer option.

I would give the Dockers

C.Bruce, C.Johnson and a 1st round pick

for

Pavlich and a 3rd ot 4th rounder

The Dockers do have a history of trade blunders, but something tells me that a bloke who can't break into a side sitting 0-8 + a versatile skinny bloke who can't kick and who turns 29 next year + a first and third round draft swap, won't land us the 2nd or 3rd best player in the comp.

True

Makes it all the more sadder that Bruce is one of our highest paid players, yet he is almost 30 and cant kick

Well done MFC

What I see is that we need another Tall Big Defender, It seems over the last few years that Ferguson, Bizzell, Holland, Wheatly and Miller have failed to secure a Position, either through form or injury. Maybe Cloke in the VFL he couldnt do any worse and would kill for another chance however I dont know how he is doing.

We also need another big man up forward to help our only two targets are Neitz and Robbo. And we need a CHF to Step up, Miller just doesnt seem to do enough or impact on the scoreboard, Fianally we need our midfield to play consistently without getting injured. Re: Brock and Moloney.

i'd stick with miller before i bothered wasting my time on cloke...

I wouldnt swap Miller either but Bizzells chance has seemed to pass or they would be playing him.

Yer good call Pavlich can play anywere remember that to.

whys everyone getting excited about pavlich coming to melbourne?? he has said no he wont leave freo and first of all he is a first year captain and wants to win a premirship with freo. one man we should be looking at is Ryley Dunn! just as tough as brock mclean but quicker! has been touched by injurys for a long time and a new change would do him well. brother played bushies with him and reckons he is an out and out gun! plz MFC lets look at this bloke! only same age as brocky too

Posted

Trade the whole side and all our draft picks for Judd. Judd against 18 opponents would prove to be a more competitive game than the 18 duds we have out there at the moment.

Posted

you haev all got the wrong angle...

cousins, judd, kerr and pavlich aren't going anywhere.

however the fact of the matter is, that if melbourne clubs are offering 1 million for them, then they would probably accept an offer of 800,000 to stay at the eagles.

this is still an enourmous amount of money for one player, and it will mean that they will have to trade off some lesser lights to afford it.

this is why we should be going for players like braun, brett jones, fletcher and seaby. 1 of them will be forced out due to salary cap pressure. we should swoop

Posted

Give me 3 or 4 picks in the top 20 and then use them in this way :

1. Tall, athletic ruckman (with a body you can thrown in the gym and get results)

2. Another defender in the mould of Frawley/Rivers but bigger boned

3. Strong utility who can play either CHB or CHF

4. Lightening quick Aboriginal boy with strong leadership (eg. Andrew McLeod)

If we were to do this then I would sleep very well on draft night :D

Posted

we should tank this season so we come bottom 2 and can get kruiser. this could be the only time this decade we will get a chance to pick a quality ruckman in the draft.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
