Not at all, that's how much I rate Schache

We would not want to be giving up much bor paying much for this poor man's Weidemen

Not sure we can afford him without Tommo going out. And we need to keep him with Weid going to the Druggies

27 for Grundy, well done Dees that is a steal!

😪

Id prefer a speculative draft than him. Whilst I agree we need another tall, we're not as bad off as people think. We still have JVR and Tommo (who can play def and push Petty fwd). I do think we need another ruck though, even if it's from the state levels

Hunt wasn't a deal, he left as a free agent. Whilst I was not impressed with the Jackson trade, basically we will have traded out Jackson and Bedford and got in Grundy and 2 first rounders. If we get a third rounder for Weid that great for us, but if he does leave I think we have to hold Tommo as a tall back up

I hope this isn't true, Schache isn't even a VFL level player

This part of the trade was very disappointing IMO. Jackson was worth 2 firsts and a second alone. So to get that for him and Toby makes me feel a bit ripped off!

Haha I actually forgot about our own pick.

Sorry but I'm not including May. Petty is a swing option but these two are backman, marking in the backline is alot different to the fwd line. They have great "shock" impact through an in game move but give a team time to plan for them they will be less effective.

Only be 2 wouldn't it? Or have we got a 3rd 2023 first rounder from someone else?

Could we package up our 3 x 2nd rounders for Grundy and a Future 1st?

We don't need Weid, he isn't a fwd back up which he has proved and he isn't a proper ruck. Every year back up rucks switch around, we will find one if we need one. Some forward depth woukd be nice, but Weids past seasons have shown us he isn't up to it. If Ess are offering a 3rd rounder that's awesome as I'd say that's overs. But he is contracted. Out fwd stocks aren't as bad as people think. Brown, T-Mac, JVR, Grundy and Gawn. They can't all play in one side, another fwd would be ideal but they are light on atm.

Or could we be looking to package picks up to move up the draft?

2nd tied to the dockers is disappointing. Wanted the Roos pick

Being from SA and a mad Redlegs fan I'd say keep ya grubby hands of him. He is only 196cm which is a little worryingat AFL level. But as a back up he would be good, he is also handy up fwd. Not only did he win the Jack Oatey medal he won the club Best and Fairest and came 6th in the Magarey Medal (SANFL Brownlow) Very good option, but also stay away 😉

Really hoped he woukd turn it around. But this move is best for everyone. As for ruck back up, there is always rucks available. And with grundy coming in it's not as if we need a really really good back up. Maybe Sweet from the dogs or just the best ruck from the SANFL, WAFL or VFL

Agree about the Dunkley trade, but don't recon they are waiting on Jackson. I think they know that pick will be part of the trade somehow.

Not what they were saying all day on trade radio today. They were saying they have offered it and we have knocked it back. It Has also been reported all be it by Garry Lyon that he won't go to the PSD because he does want the best for Melb. How much truth there is to that I dunno. Freo will trade Lobb, they are just trying to drive the price up, no way do they keep him, he is the type of person that will walk away for 12 months. Alot of stand off's happening atm and some has to budge soon. I hope its not us

I think he is worth a punt. last list spot, paid nothing, plays a position we are very shallow in, and brings some experience too. If we have room give him a 1 year contract, then next year see what the draft looks like if it doesn't work out.

Well he was part of the Collingwood salary dump so not really "let go" but why he wasn't getting a run at the Hawks is interesting

Top three I think we should look at, purely as depth players: 1 - Cullum Brown (Pies) 2 - Tom Phillips (Hawks) 3 - Quinton Narkle (Geel) Purely depth for cheap as chips. Also if Tommo did leave, call me crazy which most of you will but only for cover..................O-Mac???

He is contracted, but Carlton have told him they are happy for him to explore his options. Good player, but is a midfielder and that's it. Which makes it hard to break into our side.

Think Freo have already offered that and we have knocked it back. I recon if they can't get a first round pick inside the top 7 the dees will ask for: 13 + 29(Bulldogs for Rory Lobb) + 2023 Freo Rd 1 + 2023 NM Rd2 Which I'd say we would jump at.
