Imagine having superman in our forward line... the possibilities...

I see it as a win-win. Pick 9 (essentially pick 8 due to mcdonald going as F/S to the kangas) will no doubt land us a quality mid which we will use on a build ready to go player like Dom Sheed or Freeman. However if we decide to use it on Adams and he and GWS agrees to a trade I still would be delighted in seeing him play for us.

It wouldn't hurt us to draft him as a rookie..Our lack of depth in the back line hurts us when we sustain injuries. Bringing him in and training him as a big bodied defender would be potentially ideal if it pays off

People need to remember that our pick 9 is technically 8 with Kangaroos taking Mcdonald in father son.

Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Which is why I am so happy with the ability to land Tyson along with pick 9 which will also see us snag another midfield player. Tyson looks amazing in close, has the ability to give off the perfect handball, strong overhead mark and exceptional in traffic and a tall big bodied mid. Exactly what we need going forward. To some extent I beleieve the injuries he has sustained and the lack of games he has contributed in has played in our favor. This has really limited his development and ability to make an established name for himself, which allowed for us to get him and pick 9 for 2 and 20.

Will be great for our clearance work and that added depth to our midfield. Estactic we got him for the pick we did.

It's amazing what a proper administration team can do. Set actual realistic objectives and identify the major hole within our team that needs improvement.

Exactly why Roos wrote that article about clubs trading their stars early... Imagine if Hawthorn had of traded Franklin a few years ago... the return they would have recieved in comparison to what they have now.

His on field leadership, work rate and commitment will prove highly beneficial especially on the younger players. This is exactly the type of player we need going forward in guiding our younger talent. I've always thought of the sporting industry and sporting clubs much like a work place - if you get a new job where the people who have been there the longest muck around, not take their job seriously and for granted it rubs off on you and you end up becoming lazy and wrapped up in an emotionally detrimental environment. However if you get a job in a place where its firm but fair, everyone puts in, there are stand out leaders, direction and commitment you are more likely to put in a harder work ethic yourself with the people you are surrounded by. This is exactly what the MFC was not. With the party guys of the like of Slyvia out the door being replaced with on field leaders like Dawes, Vince and potentially Cross - you watch how our culture, work rate and professionalism will change for the better.

I wish Wallace would input about what clubs WOULDN'T do in regards to drafting, not what they SHOULD do. Terry Wallace "Im thinking club-A should trade X player to X club and pick up Y draft pick in return which I would pick on player Z in this year draft.. I would do this, therefore clubs should ASTRAY from doing this also"

Stoked for this deal, however his name gets on my nerves... Dom Tyson? Should be Tom Dyson

Mate of mine at the gym said he heard on the radio a three way deal which included Melbourne's pick 2 to Port Adelaide in exchange for Hamish Hartlett and pick 13? Said he heard it on the radio on one of the news stations reporting it. Not sure if he misheard or not but can't find any information regarding this, did anyone happen to catch or hear about this?

Personally I think it will come down to Trading pick 2 to GWS for Dylan Shiel. And if that doesn't go through then holding onto the pick and going after a free agent throwing them a cash offer they can't refuse. No use in trading pick 2 for a player this year, when we could potentially snag a player that would be as beneficial next year within the free agency period. For me it's Keeping pick 2 (Aish or Freeman) or trading it for Shiel Trading in Vince, Lyons, Michie, Cross (FA)

Not a rumor just an idea: Pick #2 for Polec + Longer Trade Jamar + Sylvia compensation pick to Adelaide for Vince and Lyons. Would this be a trade worth considering or are we paying unders+overs?

Cut nerd alert. Take a breather and lift some weights, might make you less agitated

Move on then chief

People who think he is not worth pick #2 have absolutely no idea

She's an in and under. Gets her hard ball gets

Hope we land Michie might come on like a Barlow type, but I don't see Fremantle parting ways with him for a packet of chips despite his lack of games.

They already got Mumford??

I actually really want to trade pick 2 for Shiel. Not only is he powerfully built for contested ball winning capabilities, but can also win the ball and be damaging on the outside, explosive runner and can take the game on whilst kicking goals. Having to pick up one of Aish or Kelly will be another young player that will take a while to develop, where as Shiel I believe even though he is still young will have an immediate impact within our midfield.

This is why I hate how players can nominate a club to choose to be traded to, and then threaten to walk to the PSD if they don't get traded to that desired club. That's why the powerhouse finals clubs will always get their man not only through free agency, but for also when player X is out of contract and not having to give up much in return.

If it accounts for anything, I had a dream I worked for the MFC and traded pick 2 for Luke Shuey before he was ever mentioned as a possible get.. Usually my dreams weirdly are a reliable source to predict the future, take of it what you will.

Might as well throw in you

Maybe we can trade some of our fringe players or a player in association with pick 2 to land Rockliff and Docherty?
