Me or WC?

By the look of it, WC wasn't that interested in Curtin either. Certainly not for their F1.

Good idea. Can Goody come? Umm maybe not.

Just so inane and cliche responses. We all know they have to perform next year. What do you expect Max to say when asked a question? "No comment".

I believe the next draft rule change will allow a club to swap a player they recently selected for draft picks and even other players during the night. I think its done in the NBA?

You seem to forget that the 4th year was the clincher for BB. Anything less he was staying at Nth.

Good analysis. I guess JT would need to assess whether there is any quality left at p15.

Besides them what else have the Romans done for us?

If this goes through I am assuming he is injury free and ready to do a full preseason.

Source?

No. Melb has only traded players who they don't mind moving on. They have not lost anyone significant who they preferred to keep. Maybe Jackson. I believe the medium/long term strategy here is for the club to free up cap space in order to target the likes of Sean Darcy, Todd Marshall, JUH and maybe Ben King in 2024.

So, please tell us who you think we should have traded for among the key forwards available over the last two years. I can only count 3: Lobb, McStay and Finlayson. The latter is only the one that I would have been interested in, and I doubt we were ever in the hunt for him. Who in this trade period have we missed out on? Not sure why you are freaking out about our trading performance when we have Petty, JVR, Smith and Fritsch as our tall / medium forwards for next season.

No it wasn't a disaster. In the 4 matches where Max was not available he stepped up and averaged over 100 AF points per game.

Petracca. He's that good.

They have already said no to Ginniven so I assume they would not be interested in Chandler.

I believe we won't be able to outbid NM for P1 without offering a top 22 player. As much as it is painful to consider losing one of our top line youngsters, are we willing to do it if it means getting, and IF JT believes, a once-in-a-generation player? If so who would you trade that WC would find appealing? The draft picks can work itself out.

I believed I may have added a little spice to the morning. Sincerely, I don't believe P6 and 11 will be sufficient if we are to obtain P1. To seal the deal we might have to part ways with one of our top 22 players.

Does this mean you don't like the idea?

Pick 1 and Darling for Pick 6 and JVR. Go big on King next year. Have plenty of Cap space. Good chance Curtain will be available for them at P6.

I guess that would mean only 3 names, JVR, McVee and Rivers. Who would you put forward?

David King believes we will get P1. While the Kangaroos are seen as West Coast’s best suitor for Pick 1, rival clubs also believe Melbourne remains extremely keen on getting higher up the draft order — either for Reid at Pick 1, or Zane Duursma or Nick Watson in the selections afterwards. The Demons hold Picks 6 and 11, their own future first-round selection and two future second-rounders. Dual premiership Kangaroo David King believes the Dees – who tried to trade up the draft order last year – are still in the mix for Pick 1. “I think Melbourne will find a way to sweeten and get it done with the picks they’ve got,” King told Fox Footy’s Trading Day. “That and maybe something else next year – maybe a future first-rounder – to get it done because they’re in the hit zone right now and North Melbourne need volume. I don’t see the thirst to get rid of too many picks … I don’t see why they’d be wanting to move too many of them on.”

Isn't Mackie their list manager. Another complete arrogant [censored].

Hope we can get him on the park.

I believe Melb would only contemplate this trade if and only if: 1. They believe Petty will miss a significant amount of next season due to his foot injury. 2. They are concerned that he will miss a preseason. As a result, he won't have the required kilometres on his legs and will be unable to perform at an optimal level. 3. They are certain that he will request a move to the Crows at the end of the season with his trade value significantly reduced.

Can somebody explain how we can get GWS 7 and Heynes. I have no idea how that can be played out after our trades today.
