But doesn't that say it all? He wasn't good enough to break into the team! Rohan, Cunningham and Lloyd were all good enough to break into the team and stay there ....

That is semantics, they were all good enough to break into the team and stay there and Membrey had plenty of opportunity but wasn't good enough to get in, remember Goodes didn't play the first half of the year! My point is that you can have all the talent in the world but in modern footy talent is not enough it has to come with the right attitude, aptitude and application
I'm enjoying the amount of tongue placed in cheek in this post.
He needs to be going to somewhere like Essendon, port, freo, Geelong, collingwood where he want be getting monstered at every contest. If he goes to the doggies he's going to get smashed every week.

Port are out, think their forward line is doing okay. Collingwood aren't going to touch any of our forwards - you can thank Jesse for that one
I really like Freo, would be a really good opportunity for him I think. Pity he only wants to go to Vic.

St.Kilda have pick 41, reckon that's about the right price. Otherwise the Bullies have pick 45. Their next picks will be too far out in the 60s and that's Hail Mary territory, Membrey has to be worth more than that.
Be nice to get the trade done early so we know what picks we hold for other trades if needed.

He's better than a 40's pick. Hes a 20 to 30 pick. Ready made player that will start rd 1 with his new team.
lol no way
how is he ready made, has played 3 qtrs in 2 yrs
no is going to give up a pick in the 20-30 region for him
absolute best he can hope for is late 30's
He'd be playing every week in just about any other fwd line.
that might be
ok imagine u r head of recruiting at swans and this case came up
player taken about pick 45, has spent 2 yrs in the system and played 3 qtrs of footy in the AFL
he is out of contract and wanting to leave his current club
Now would you give up a pick 26 for this player with this information on him ?
Or pick 43 ?

What did we give St Kilda for Walsh, a bloke who'd played as much AFL as Membrey? From memory, it was a second rounder, and didn't that that turn out well for us.
The guy played one game against an ordinary side (was it Carlton?), we'll be laughing if we get anything better than pick 40 IMO.

Swans would be happy with a second or third round pick for membrey

Severely doubt we would get it.
Uncontacted and requested a trade. We are over a barrel in this situation.

Would love Membrey at essendon. Perfect 3rd forward behind Daniher and Carlisle.
What would satisfy you guys that we have to offer??

Like I said. It's not because he isn't good enough, it's because of our fwd line there's no spot for him. The one game he has played showed he can actually play. There's more certainty to picking him as a player than some kid you might get at 25 that may not play a single game.

Hopefully he doesn't end up like a TDL pick for us though. Maybe just a reverse Hall/Plugger would be nice.Be a great bargain for your side nothing to lose everything to gain

You'll be doing well to get an early second rounder
