Watching part 2 of Roosy's interview, mentioned he was heading to Hawaii in the 2nd part of trade week. Indicated we should be done by then. Interesting decision, makes you wonder if some deals are already done. Clark - Lumumba Danger - ...... Frost - .........

You're in fairy land if you think Sydney would trade Zac Jones. I love the trade talk this time of year more than anyone.... But... "IF" Petracca and Brayshaw become stars, add in Tyson, we would have an unbelievable starting midfield over the next 12 years. Not forgetting Hogan down forward. Realistically, we're not going to play finals under Roos, maybe his legacy can be developing these kids properly and in 2-4 years building a side around them. Dangerfield would be great but he hasn't made Adelaide a top 4 team.

Pick 2 for Adam Treloar

Firstly, Heritier will be at Melbourne next year. Secondly, this guy is exactly what we need. Hard trainer, Line breaker, experienced, premiership player, All Australian. Granted he has some different beliefs, but that's what clubs are all about. Roos is a different beast to Nathan 'FIGJAM' Buckley. He's there to play FOOTBALL and help us WIN games.

You really think he is the only person Melbourne has met with till now? Please.... I know this page get's filled with a lot of rumour and BS and perhaps there is no reason to believe me, but I can categorically say he'll be our senior assistant next year. We'll chat after the announcement.

I know people - it's done. Happy to never post again if I am wrong.

I can confirm Goodwin will be senior assistant next year.

It means we hold the cards. Also talk about giving them picks 2 and 3 for pick 4 & Shiel

Adelaide want top end picks after missing out on last year's draft. They cant afford to have a missing age bracket in years to come. If Dangerfield was to walk through Free Agency next year they would end up with a compo pick around 8 - 14 - pending where they finish. Melbourne has basically offered Dangerfield a blank cheque. Hence PJ's call for assistance to pay our full salary cap. Also - GWS are all over Petracca and will need assurance that we take Brayshaw with pick 2 in return for Shiel. Rest assured, Roosy will earn his money in the next 6 weeks.

If we get the compo pick for Frawley (pick 3) I'm told it will be 100% traded which the AFL are aware of. The two options are: Pick 3 and Toumpas for Dangerfield and possibly another player. Pick 3 for Dylan Shiel.

"Mitch..... whats his name" I wonder whether Roosy could get his mate Ross to come over to the demons in 2 years. He is brutal and can be bought.

If Roos only met Clark yesterday and didn't refute claims that he wasn't going to play with Melbourne. What has happened from when he began training to that meeting?

Why would we not be interested in him? Why is every journalist in Australia so sure he won't be playing with Melbourne next year? We can get him without a huge draft pick sacrifice. We have money to spend, He has expressed his love for MFC and 12 months ago the coach said he was our best player. Granted he has some issues both physically and mentally, but for the once loved player in the change rooms, I don't understand what has changed.

The side is going to be filled with Jack's and Christian's

Trade options if he goes to Saints. 1. Priority pick 3 and Clark for pick 1 - guaranteeing us Petracca 2. Saints 2nd Round Pick - 20 But hey, the saints will be wanting him to walk to the PSD.

Is it possible that Clark approached MFC about a return, only to be told we have moved on and would try and trade him. It just seems unfathomable to think he'd leave us for a team based in Seaford and finished last! Double whammy- Saints may pick Petracca now.
