You are judging players based on their name?

The headline reads.. Great week for the Dees, Parish and Curnow drafted, followed by the re-signing of Jesse Hogan

Parish all the way HT

I'm 99% sure it will be kept quiet

No way we pick him at 3 that would be a terrible pick

pretty sure Buddy was from WA. He hasn't gone home

The idea of signing him long term with 2 years left on his contract when we only win 7 games was 1000 to 1

His contract doesn"t expire for 2 years. Don't blame him for wanting to wait & see where the team is headed. If we are moving well and we are where we should be then he'll resign. He wants success and loves Melbourne. The city and the team. The only reason he would leave is for poor on field performances. Not worried at all

Source? Also if we take Oliver at 7, would we still take Parish at 3 or take a tall?

Highlights can make anyone look incredible

Hopefully dons take Curnow ahead of Weidman which I expect they will. They won't take both. Suns won't take Weideman.

100% sure that the Suns would snap up Curnow

I am getting pretty nervous that Te bombers will snap up Weideman and Francis at 4 & 5, GC take Curnow at 6. No key forwards left. Hopefully they take curnow and Francis and the Suns take a midfielder

Is that a good or bad thing?

Possibly Howe and 25 to North for 35 and 15? Seems like a win-win. 35 to Essendon for Milkshake. Howe deal may not get done until later in the week though, essendon want it done ASAP

Ran into Simon Goodwin before my basketball game today. His daughter played in the game before me

I think it will be a 3 way trade Andrew Moore to Pies, Toumpas to Port, Kennedy to Dees

Harmes?

Nah Tmac best position is a back. Roosy had to roll the dice in that Essendon game. He is the backman of the future. Up there with Talia and McGovern in terms of young KPD

this ^

are there any 2nd string forwards we may/should look at?

But tbh, i'd rather pair pick 22 (from GC for Howe) with a player to get someone like Sam Reid.

I am also very confident we'll improve. Pushing for finals in 2017 i reckon. Maybe even next year. Who knows. I know I have probably mentioned it so many times. At the time being our midfield is a little raw with Vince and Jones carrying the lot having to go against the Fyfe's, the Dangerfields, Hannerbery's and Mitchells. If you look at our list our midfield has massive potential to be a superstar midfield in 3-5 years with Viney, Petracca, Vandenburg, ANB and Brayshaw on the inside, with Tyson, Salem, Stretch on the Outside. Not to mention Gawny serving the pill on a platter to them. Combine that group with the likes off Tmac, Omac, Frost, White and Jetta down back along with Hogan, Garlett, Kent (Insert 2nd forward here), and we have got the potential to be a super team in a couple years

would be super disappointed if we finished the trade period with our best recruits being Bugg, Kennedy and Melksham. Go big. Try get a steal with a 2nd round a pick. Someone with blistering pace as an outside mid, or A 2nd forward who comes up the ground. Someone with elite skills and speed coming off half back (even though Salem plays that role)
