I'd love to see McCartney spend the summer taking a special focus on Petracca, as I think he can move into a A grade midfielder.
I also believe Melbourne will be far better off without Hogan (for what we can receive for him as a pick). If we could trade Hogan + Kent to Fremantle, we would be asking for 2x first round (or a Bradley Hill / Andrew Brayshaw / Lachie Neale + 1x first round) + 2nd rounder for Kent - hate to see him leave but this is a good outcome as we have so many forwards).
And someone asked me whether I would trade Hunt (he's my favourite player) however how does he break the side (possibly when Lewis retires - you would assume end of 2019).
If we could draft Gaff, that would be ideal. Whats the story with Tom Liberatore? I know there are rumours hes not too professional but he has very high potential. A big risk but the reward could be worth it (if we cant get Gaff or some high profile players)...
And could we land May from GC for a high end draft pick, swapped for Hogan. And land Preuss for a 2nd rounder?
We currently have: 29, 31, 36, 57 (I assume this is about right) aprox picks
Get: Gaff, pick 29, p 36, p 57, 1x first rounder, 1x 2nd rounder (Kent) so taking 1-18 pick + p,29 + p.36 to get 3 quality midfielders (say 2x inside and 1x outside)
Lose: 1st rounder (May), p. 31 (Preuss), Hogan (receive 2x first rounder) , Kent (receive 2nd rounder)
With a 6-6-6 format, I'd like to see:
Jetta O. McDonald Lever
Lewis Frost Hibberd
Petracca Viney Harmes
Hannan T.Mdonald Melcham
Weideman Preuss Fritsch
Gawn Oliver Brayshaw
Neil Bullen, Salam, Jones, vandenBerg
Spargo, Stretch, Hunt
