id be happy now to sacrifice another 28 yr old big name to get another early pik... and who was the fool that said its a dud draft... u got no idea its an excellent draft

SIS anyone listen to Cameron on the radi last night..... poor i thought!! dodged the questions and did it very badly...

first we all agree TJ is a good player.. YES!

Cameron last night tried to convince us a number of times that the reason we got rid of him was for draft piks and draft piks only... lets be honest yes we did it for draft piks but we really did it coz hes a bad egg.... it annoys me that when cameron was asked this he didnt have the fruits to say yeh he didnt have a great attitude and he had run out of chances... that annoyed me!! dont lie to us.......

Secondly.. he mentioned we need four ruckman.. on our list...

Why??

i dont get why? get rid of one for a draft pik.. any pik will do.. but just do it.. if wat cameron said last night bout draft piks and how its the main priority and clearly wqe r cleaning out.. then lets reall clean the joint out.... get as many piks as we can.... i know this will sound ridiculous but get rid of bruce and miller.... lets have a lean yr or two but get 4-5 piks in the top 20 this yr.. The hawks have shown that thats wat you need to really turn the club around.. no point having 2-3 piks early, one in top ten then one in the teens then in the twenties.. lets bust some nuts and get serious bout re building and get seriously involved in the November draft...

Whats the point in getting rid of more players for picks in a thin draft? Hawthorn did it in a year when there were kids galore. I think too many people have taken to much out of our posititon this year. How many people seriously think we're a bottom 3 side? Everyones only focusing on Bruce,Green and Miller. What about the young guns coming through. Mc Lean, injured.Jones 2nd b&f. Bate 3rd b&f. Sylvia injured. Maloney injured. Dunn New found spot wing/tagger. Bartram injured. Rivers injured. Newton 2nds at sandy to great prospect ff.Have a look and think about that before everyone starts writing us off 2 weeks before pre season has even started.

I think everyones forgotten how bad this year went for us i.e injuries etc. If im not mistaken Geelong had a similar year last year.As to Carlton and all their no. 1 picks, not very long from now their going to start losing some of them to salary cap pressure.Good on them for getting Dudd and paying shitloads for him. Whats going to happen when they come out of contract and want more money? Im hoping this comes back and bites them on the ass big time!

This is terrible. Why are we considering replacing 1 Sandy player for a new 1 ? If we're going to trade hopefully its for someone useful.WAFL stats dont add up to AFL stats.

I doubt it will be enough and if it is it's a bargain.

Judd will go down as one of the greatest players of all time. He's certainly the most explosive player I've ever seen. If he plays for the MFC for 150 games I'll be amazed if he doesn't finish his career as the greatest to have ever pulled on the red and blue. I'm not sure if some on here realise how good he is.

The MFC haven't had a franchise player since the AFL's inception in 1990. Not one. We need one. The significance of recruiting Judd is monumental. Not only on the field, but off it. Our membership will increase, our crowds will increase, our attraction to sponsors will increase, our merchandise sales will increase. The positive psyche of the club will increase.

If Judd comes to Melbourne he'll drag me through the gate when I feel half hearted about going. If we're playing interstate I'll make an effort to be there. We'll have 8-10 years of arguably the greatest midfielder of all time.

Pick 4 may turn out to be a great player, but the chances of him being a Judd, Carey, or Matthews are virtually non existent.

Here Here!

Rusling, Reid and Pick 14.

They could trade Reid for a top 10 pick easily IMO.

As silky as TJ'S skills are, he's still a very lazy player at times. I dont think we've still seen the best of him and he's 28.You cant give up Frawley because we dont have a backline as it is.I'd rather see Bruce go but if the deals been done I'd be happy to get a 24 year old proven gun!

Im amazed at reading everyones opinions that we're not a chance of landing Judd. Why? Dick Pratt has pretty much given up hope. Nothing has been said about Essendon, and what has Collingwood got to give apart from Cloke,Thomas or Pendlebury?
