I am sure that Mahoney and Viney have asked the pub to leave the radio on!

As we all knew that they would!

Pick 50 (that we were originally going to use on Bugg)

Tomlinson?

Actually looking at the footage posted of him on the MFC website he looks pretty handy onball and in the forward half with a good awareness of where the goals are. I would prefer to see him with an onball/forward role!

It is in the genes! Expect Trenners to be in our best 22 again this year!

Nice to see you have completely overlooked both the trade period and the forthcoming draft. Obviously no ambition or desire to improve our list!

With picks 3 & 7, let's hope we draft both!

Everybody is assuming that Carltank and Brisbane are automatically going to draft Weitering and Schache however what if they don't? Last year we collected Petracca when everybody expected St Kilda to take him so stop banking Parish until this is all over!

Interesting on 3AW on Sports tonight they are speaking of us having picks 3 & 10. Obviously oblivious of subsequent trades!

I hope that we are seriously looking at Jones and Terlich's contracts as it would be a shame to merely use picks 46 & 50 on rookie upgrades when there may be somebody that the FD finds more suited to our needs ( now that we have traded in some midfield depth)!

If our first round pick next year is #18 then I, for one, have no complaints with Mahoney's strategy!

I guess that our delisting was effective after the Trade period! Brilliant! Same as we did last year when we retained Clark on our list until 31 October, allowing us to get the deal done which landed us HL!

10, 46 & 50 for 7 and Bugg! (We retain pick 43)

Sean Smith's nephew!

The only reason I would prefer that we use 29 instead of 25 for Melksham is I would rather give the 25 to GC instead of Essendon!

Well at last next year we will be a possibility for Top 8, once we get these low draft picks on the paddock alongside Petracca, Trengrove, et al.

Yes but you overlook that this may not have been the case apart from injuries. (The injuries merely highlight lack of depth in numbers not the lack of calibre of players such as Petracca)

And if Hogan gets injured (again)?

I hardly think that it our midfield is still deplorable with Vince, Tyson, Vanders, Viney and Brayshaw added to N. jones and with next year having Petracca, Trenners, 2015 pick 6 (if used on a midfielder) joining the midfield plus the possibility that some of our new and existing recruits will be rotated through it. One good player added to our Forward structure (who could help out in the ruck) IMO would have more effect than a single addition to our midfield.

Are we fully committed to using pick 25 (vs. pick 29) for Melksham? According to this morning's paper, it still adopts the wording of 'a second round pick' suggesting that we can utilise 29 and retain 25. Also, I cannot see why we cannot use 50 to get Bugg and either utilise 25 in the draft, use it on another player such as Plowman or Tomlinson (both of whom seem to be up for grabs), or leveraging/packaging it up to gain another first round pick!

Interesting that on the AFL website, when people were asked to nominate the winner of the Mega-trade between the Dees, Crows, PA and the Pies, we were voted 13% (a distant last). Frankly, I was expecting that we would have received at least a second second-round pick'out of the wash. I am sure that all Pies supporters would be drooling over the Howe highlights reel on the AFL website (as I was)!

If Carlton are going for 4-5 GWS players (incl. Plowman and Tomlinson) why are we only targeting Bugg?
