Out of contract. Cry me a river StK.Say what?
What's wrong with having an open list spot with a mid season trading period?Not happening unless something comes back for 2023 otherwise making the 3 vacant list spots was an exercise in futility.
Seems pretty obvious we see at least 3 players we value highly being available in this draft without worrying about next year.
The way I read your numbers anything from 11-30 is about the same prospect. So shuffling down 14 or 20 to something still before 30 would not make much difference? Again, just using your numbers.We have 3 picks in the 11 to 30 range (after likely academy selection). If we wanted to pick up a speculative pick like Goad or Moir, we should be able to trade down and still take them. But, historically, this would give us half the chance of getting a champion compared with picking the best available in our range.
Don't get me wrong, I'd bite your hand off if that was the deal to get it done...BUT, they see him as THE guy they will look to build their midfield around going forward..I'd guess they would rather let him walk to the draft than take a 2nd rounder OOC. To me, Petty and O'Sullivan are 2nd and 3rd choice options. Getting an A grade mid is number 1 by the length of the Flemington straight and as such, thats where I am directing all my primary draft capital (either Trade or draft)Out of contract. Cry me a river StK.
So what you are saying is that this is Moystn's fault for saying that Hamill would probably end up being rookied and to stop with the Sloane debate, and then it turns out he was right?What I love is people who inject themselves into a discussion and ignore how it actually started.
Moystn started it by saying all those with tears about our list management, “see nothing to worry about, it all worked out”
Now I could either let a goading post like that go or I respond with how that’s his opinion well actually the clubs opinion.
Now I could have said nothing and let it go, just like you could have said nothing and let my post go. It’s how a discussion board goes.
If you don’t like my opinion I don’t give a *, it would mean I’d have to rate yours to begin with.
But I will find it interesting for all those who are happy with keeping Sloane and having no list flexibility, will they say anything if there are some decent sliders past pick 20 that we can’t have a crack at.
That's why we have Hinge...Yeah, I think good talk talent that can swing forward or back is REALLY valuable. Very happy to get both, if the cards fell that way

Yep ...you can pretty much take the Petty trade to the Crows to the bank .....the foundations were laid this trade periodThis has the same feel as the Gibbs trade. We weren't able to get the deal done first up, but will get it done a year later. Especially as Petty is a free agent the following year.
I think you'll find Petty is a more natural defender ......his move fwd was an act of desperation by MELB .....a last man standing hail maryTotally agree with this sentiment. Great for filling injury holes up forward and down back. Excess talls also allow us to play the swing men in their optimal position.
Plus with Tex reaching the end I like the idea of Petty playing forward and O'Sullivan down back, or the two of them swinging between the two positions.
Where has that been reported about the mid season trade period?If Melbourne aren't contending Petty could be a crow by midseason. The extra trade period looks all but signed off.
Yeah, no way Rossy let's Mattaes go for a 2nd round pick this early on whether uncontracted or not.

You’ve included some pretty crap footballers in that lotAll the recent high end talent traded excluding the elite guys in JHF, Rankine and Taranto have been traded for the following:
Hollands (Pick 7) - free (drugs)
Bruhn (Pick 12) - Pick 18
D Stephens (Pick 5) - essentially free
Henry (Pick 7) - Future Second Round pick
Caldwell (Pick 11) - Pick 29 (essentially)
Coffield (Pick 8) - Pick 40
Paddy Dow (Pick 3) - Pick 49
Bowes (Pick 10) - They gave away a top 10 pick to dispose of him
Petrovski Seton (Pick 6) - Pick 52
Phillipou (Pick 10) - ?
I think a range of 16-23 is about right when uncontracted.
The strategy IF Phillipou wanted to come home and we wanted Petty too is in my mind to offer our 24 1st and one likely one of our 24 2nds for Phillipou. Petty - our 25 1st and maybe a 24 2nd if needed. I don't think we'd get them for less but if possible, great.All the recent high end talent traded excluding the elite guys in JHF, Rankine and Taranto have been traded for the following:

Justin Reid didn't seem to enthusiastic on Sensible Crow's podcast re drafting a ruck at this point which surprised me somewhat given there looks to be at least a half a dozen with draftable attributes.
54.26 mark of the podcast.
Our 3rd pick will be 25ish and I think it will be the end of tier 3. Always hard to tell until a few years down the track, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a big gap between the tier 3 and 4 success rate down the track.The way I read your numbers anything from 11-30 is about the same prospect. So shuffling down 14 or 20 to something still before 30 would not make much difference? Again, just using your numbers.
Yep..Who here would take moir at 20?
I think Melbourne have also cost Petty some money in regards to his salary. Our offer this year will likely be reduced next year as he will be one year closer to being out of contract. I am sure he will still get decent coin but still over 5 years would add up.If we did pick up O'Sullivan and he looked the real deal, I'm not sure we even make the play for Petty next trade period. Especially if a midfield trade target materialised.
At that point we would have Murray back healthy, as well as Butts, O'Sullivan and Keane as key backs with support from Worrell. I'd totally be fine rolling with that.
It's why I think MFC really missed their window to cash in on Petty. Next season his trade value may be half what it was this year. This year KPD were astronomically overvalued, and I just don't see that happening twice in 2 years.
Phillipou has blown all these guys out of the water on first year performance, none of them have gone near him since either.All the recent high end talent traded excluding the elite guys in JHF, Rankine and Taranto have been traded for the following:
Hollands (Pick 7) - free (drugs)

Im on him as well WW. Look at the SA vs Vic Country gameYou're the only one on mcaulliffe .....even your experts have said he hasn't progressed since juniors
That's the problem of putting too much credence in U16 form .....it's a nonsense
The problem with this thibking is that Hamish O has proven many times that he is very, very good at picking diamonds in the rough that is late ND picks and rookie draft picks..You still going on about Sloane.
Guess what, the club and many people here don't think a rookie in 2024 is worth more than Sloane in 2024.
You can group me and others as 'apologists' in your attempt to influence the group think to your narrow perspective - it doesn't change anything.
You keep trying to make it a debate, you're not going to convince anyone who disagrees with you (you don't present as rational about Sloane).
Look you may even be right, but honestly, the rookie isn't going to make a difference. A delisted player? You have to be joking.
Remember everyone lost their minds we didn't draft Carmichael? Who cares, he's not the difference. Who cares if he's still on a list playing VFL and Turners back at Glenelg? No one, because neither are best 22.
3 first round picks and a Cat B rookie is a great result this off season.
Big, big fan of thisFrom the draft rumours board
Moir?..Wouldn't read too much into that, I know one SA draftee we've interviewed multiple times both this season and last and very very recently and he''s not being spoken of in the 1st round, more late 2nd/3rd round. Arie Schoenmaker said in a radio interview yesterday we've interviewed him a couple of times recently too.
