Dont forget Ball

WTF? someone asked for an example of a possible deal and I gave one. Read the quote in that post. If you hadn't realized the point of that example was to be a deal skewed in GC favor to let Viney slip through. Does that really need to be spelt out to you? If i were speculating I would have worded it as 'Apparently we are in talks to trade Petterd for GC's 5th round pick' Grow up and read things properly before making such a hypocritical post.

speculate - to believe especially on uncertain or tentative grounds What am I believing here? This is more of suggesting an example....not speculation.

What have i speculated? In fact I am the only one here not speculating and saying "we will take Viney 100%"

Just how MFC interviewed Nataniu and D Martin?

Their are other alternatives to obtaining a good inside Mid then just Viney. We have no idea what is going on behind the scenes, for all we know we could be offering our pick #3 to Adelaide for Dangerfield or to Richmond for Cotchin. It is not as simple as "Viney is the best inside mid so if you want an inside mid, then you draft Viney".

If we don't take Viney at pick #3 then they we get effective picks 2,3, 11 (Daniher bumps it down) and 24. We could trade to pick 2 to GWS for a mini plus GWS pick 20 and the Dees have effective pick 3, 11, 20 and 24 this year and next year the gun from the mini plus their pick 1 - 5 (assuming they finish low on the ladder again) ready to play. It also assumes GWS are desperate for pick 2 which is most likely the case as its their last big lick at the draft bowl and the minis cost them nothing anyway.

Emma is quite a reliable source, it is a worry that he has a 2nd interview, means that the first one wasn't a right off :-(

No but I do expect them to take the best available. If it be Viney or not. You expect otherwise I assume?

Settle down fella, it was an example of such a deal. No need to get your knickers in a twist over an example.

Offer them Petterd for a 5th round pick and a pass on Viney?

MFC recruiters have a duty of care to pick up the best available player at #3 whether it be Viney or not. Could be another player with all the same attributes as Viney but 10cm taller and with more pace available at #3 We won't know until the day

How do you know he is better then O'Rourke at #3? Or Toumpas? Or Hogan. What does Viney offer that these players do not? These are the type of questions our recruiters will be asking.

You have heard that or that's what you think? As I am pretty sure MFC released a statement saying we will take the best available players at #3 be it Viney or not. Source?

Why are we lucky that we have pick #4 when we have to use pick #3 on Viney? Turns our Scully compo basically into pick #13 and pick #26. I would take pick #1 anyday over that.

Why o why did he go to an interview with them

What would we trade for him. Anything more then our 2nd rounder (If avail) would be overs I think

The fact that they need more in the ruck division is a pretty good reason.... Especially if they lose Giles which seems likely.

Tanking during FA would need to be a new low if it happens

Unfortunately his manager doesn't have the power to the rights of his contract so I am not sure why he is making statements like this. Collingwood can choose to do what they want with Sharrod's contract rights

Tanking in FA period?

lol your hilarious... They actually said they would leave no stone unturned in reference to FA...so not sure why you are referring to trade week. I guess simpletons do get confused easily...though in your defense this thread is about Wellingham who isn't a FA so I will have a whinge about or lack of action so far in FA in a more relevant thread.

Byrnes reported to be staying at Geelong... Quality players in FA dropping like flies. 1st day of FA is the day that matters the most

Pick 4 is overs. Pick 13 and a half decent player may be more suitable. Maybe Martin. Or pick 4 and pick 45 for Tippet and their first rounder

Toumpas and Hogan at #3 #4 would be perfect
