Moderators socially distancing themselves from this thread?

Seems obvious that they tipped their hand when they made the pick swaps with Adelaide, and the odds of them passing were tiny. If they did pass then we get one of the top mids in the draft who can impact next year instead of a developing ruckman who maybe able to become a mid and who maybe could play forward but will most likely be playing at Casey next year.

Please ask why we didn't bid on Tom Green @ pick 3

Any chance we would take Mchenry at 23 if available

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/tabid/7415/default.aspx?newsid=148019 scroll most of the way to the bottom where it talks about players with less than 7years experience "the player is a free agent and is eligible to field offers from rival AFL clubs... The player can move AUTOMATICALLY to the new club of his choice" Seems like we can low ball them and if nothing works out then gc get no compo and we can just approach the kid directly. Getting caddy for no loss of draft picks = winning

morton was highly rated as a juniour, taken 4 in the draft...howd he turn out? Caddy told gc last year he wanted out, still got plenty of game time clark was still able to perform, toy hasn't...don't rate the comparison
-
how else would we get him if not with picks or players? You do realise he has played 13 games for an avg 1.4 kicks and 2.2 handballs? How is wasting a pick, even a 3rd rnd, a good idea? We would be better off keeping morton! If he is THAT homesick then my original comments regarding his mental fragility stand

good inside mids- jones plodder inside mids- bate, gysberts, mckenzie, trengove good outside mids- plodder outside mids- bail, grimes, jetta, davey The introduction of viney will help the cause of the inside mids. I have faith that grimes, trengove and mckenzie will all take a massive step up next year but our glaring black hole in the middle is our run and spread. I think it much more important to address the need for sp...pace as a higher priority than another plodder inside mid whose only real currency seems based on his conditioning after 2 extra years in the system. is this not why we got the guru misson on our books? if we give up one of our first rnd picks for caddy i will be bitterly bitterly disapointed. maybe bundle caddy and charlie dixon together for our pick 13 and troy davis but thats only because charlie dixon is a beast and we are also in desperate need of tall forwards

but caddy hasn't PROVEN anything to suggest he will turn out any better than the many talented kids i would take ahead of him. only that he has had 2more years in an afl level gym course. The right price ON HIS FORM is a 2nd round draft pick...hell, luke ball went in the 2nd round to the magpies. surely your not suggesting that caddy's value is higher than that?

His father that died in 2007? if you are having troubles 4 years later then take bereavement leave until you have come to terms with it, any club would understand...i am judging his onfield performances and if you step onto the field you are 100% i'm guessing you saw plenty of his u/18 games and fell in love...he might make it, i certainly don't wish him any harm, but getting him in the PSD or rookie draft is much more befitting his PERFORMANCE as an AFL PLAYER and he has not shown enough at the AFL level to warrant giving up players or picks. Especially when there are massive question marks regarding conditioning which in turn raises questions about his self discipline please mate, i moved to the gold coast from melbourne as a 16 year old, knowing not a single person. yeah i left behind family and mates but i made new friends that i now call brothers. people who i have shed sweat blood and tears with, people who kept me off the streets and shared nights in the watchhouse with...and i certainly didn't have the kind of support network that an AFL footy club provides. if he was unable to make new friends it speaks volumes about him as a person
