I'd want to see Sparrow keep up this form for longer before listing him as indispensible, but Chandler is exactly that. He's in the ANB category of a player worth a lot to Melbourne but probably not a lot to "the market". Uses his speed so well to hurry and harry defenders (I'm always a bit hesitant to use Champion Data stats, because I think a lot of them are utter garbage, but it is interesting that Chandler is in the top 15 in the league for pressure acts and only Steele has more than him at Melbourne). And his kicking is really good, too.

2nd round AFL picks will be pick 40+ !!!

So II hope we match any offer forcing a trade with better results. Having said that I wouldn't want to see them go.

There is so much distortion of the first round of the draft it makes a mockery of 2nd round and later picks.

We have 3 best 22 players aged between 25-29; Petty, Chandler and Sparrow.

We'd get very poor return from them in a trade, and we'd lose a ton of depth at half-forward. Lose-lose situation.

As mentioned I don't want them to go. I may have worded it poorly but my point was, as FA's if Chandler and Sparrow ask to be traded we can't directly stop them and we will do better in a trade than an AFL comp pick.
