It was reported on 3AW last night that Roos had a plan for a complete rebuild of the MFC list post season. It was reported that Roos is looking for 5 picks in the top 20 in this years draft and is also looking to bring in 5 mature players.
We are likely to get:
pick 2,
pick 3 (Frawley),
a good possibly (that's the clubs opinion after initial discussions with AFL) a PP at either 1, 4 or 20.
We will also have 2nd Round pick at ~20.
This means we will need to trade for at least 1 probably 2 or 3 picks in the top 20 considering at least one of these picks will be traded for a mature age player. Apparently the MFC is offering as trade bate the following players:
Watts
Grimes
Trengrove
Toumpas
Apparently Roos is looking to trade out at least 2 of these 4 depending on what is offered.
The mature age players will come from a combination of Free Agency, Trades and delisting's (aka Cross).
What are supporters views on this? Personally I have full faith in Roos, you have to give away talent to get talent, clearly he is trying to break the poor culture by bringing in new core players.
*** Please note this is not from my contacts inside the club, I have no idea if true. This comes from Gerard Healy and others on 3AW last night. However, they were claiming it as a scoop.
