NDS was brought into the team to play with the team (Wells included) but Wells and Swallow were injured and only made it for the last part of the season.
Higgins and Waite were brought into the team to again go that next step further ( a Flag ), again Wells isn't in the equation. and NDS misses a huge slice of the season as well. = Same result.
2016 is the last roll of the dice with aggressive trading........ for WELLS, HARVEY and PETRIE its one more try, before the the club goes back into naturally developing yougsters. We would now have many players entering their prime years next year and beyond within the club. But again we dont have what I class as an absolute jet who has oodles of outside polish to take us to the prosper land.
Not yet anyway......Garner, many have tipped him to ooze that X factor, huge year coming up for him. The club has to screw up the temperature on Turner ever so slightly, ( I see him being an integral part of our midfield rotations in the future) these are the 2 that I've seen I hold hope for ATM.
Are we still holding hope that D Swallow will come to the club or will it be the other way around??
As Ive said before we are in dire need of a Harvey Bennell type at our club.......unless the club can wrestle one forward from out of nowhere from another club.
I feel we may look back on our recent trades of 2013 and 2014 as correct and astute but because of injuries to Wells ( both seasons ) NDS this year and Swallow last year is the key reasons that we didnt make it to the big dance.
Saintly, do you agree with me on this??

That would take too long. How about we reverse the question, where were you right? The answer. You were not.

Are we looking at getting another international rookie this year.
I guess if you're Hawthorn, they're all lower clubs.
Given the speculation on the quality of this year's draft versus next, I'm interested why you want to keep this year's? Someone in mind?

Is he better than Wood? This is the role Wood should be playing. Could have both playing this role?
Would rather Lennon if we could get him.
This is an interesting discussion. I have a bit to do with junior footballers, some at the pointy end. I'm concerned the analysis, re-analysis and over-analysis on young minds will drive many talented (in a football sense) out of the game. I also predict that every year there are some amazingly talented footballers - at least the equal to those drafted or playing at the highest level - that missed their chance due to missed opportunities, disadvantaged background and/or simply not being seen as having the head for it. Brainstorming a bit but local and country footy is littered with these types.

He and his manger thinks he has a big tank. Meant to have one of the biggest tanks and be one of the quicker guys of Melb, which wouldn't be hard. At least we aren't interested in the least fittest at Melb again.

Last year should have been a rocket. The writing was on the walk being a sub for on 3 finals which he had no impact when he came on. He went backwards last year and again this year.
If he has currency then move him on.

Pick 16 or thereabouts this year will net us another key tall or outside running midfielder for the future. Youth is something we desperately need
Lennon had done nothing at AFL level to suggest he'll end up being better than Wood.
Well we already have one of them!
North Melbourne has made a significant bid to lure Melbourne high-flyer Jeremy Howe to the club, according to Channel Seven.
It's been reported that senior coach Brad Scott and football boss Geoff Walsh have led the charge to try and get Howe to Arden street.

Fox Footy reporting Freo keen on Howe now.
From a North point of view, I think he costs us much more than he would improve us.

Oh goody ... 'significant' could be disastrous.
Herald Sun reporting Geelong will cough up their 1st Pick next year for Henderson. Interesting trade period for them as they're effectively out of the next two drafts with their trading.

Just not sure on Basti now. He was a player that I wanted in that draft year.
Showed a lot, but now meh. Even Tippo is quicker than him.
Happy to keep but also would upgrade a 2nd to an early 2nd.
Same with BMac. Would play Dumont before them now.

I must say I don't watch Melbourne and from that I can't comment on Howe. He does though across his career avg 120 marks and 320 odd disposals a season.
Sounds like what we wanted from Black as he's of similar build and height. As for what we'd need to give up, I doubt it would be our first rounder, maybe a Bastinac and something else. Seems like the type of player who could be much better in a decent side.
I think we've enough young guys waiting in the wings, if we had to package a player and our second that would be enough and we can say
A lead up half forward, Howe would be a nice get at the right price.

No more than 450k a year. Straight swap for Basti.

Short move for Howe?
North Melbourne has made a significant bid to lure Melbourne high-flyer Jeremy Howe to the club, according to Channel Seven.
It's been reported that senior coach Brad Scott and football boss Geoff Walsh have led the charge to try and get Howe to Arden street.
As reported by AFL.com.au on Friday, Howe's manager Ben Niall said the Demon was considering offers from Gold Coast and two rival Melbourne clubs.
Howe is expected to make a decision by the middle of this week.

Is this something close enough to a response that the club doesn't say anything?
