So who would you have taken??

I would have held Hogan to his contract, and have the club back themselves that he'd re-sign.

For all his faults, Hogan is a generational talent and is the closest the Dees have come to having a genuine star player since Robbie Flower. You don't push talent like that out the door!

Give me Hogan with a busted foot any day over Steven May!

Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca are the obvious ones, Weideman has shown good potential but needs to stay off the injury list.

James Harmes
Aaron vandenBerg
Mitch Hannan
Oscar McDonald
Alex Neal-Bullen

Those 5 are picks 40 or below (or rookie listed), all of those guys can play a role and you've done well to get that with late draft picks and the rookie list.

Other guys like Joel Smith who is highly rated albeit struggled with injury.

Bayley Fritsch taken with pick 31, an excellent pick already.

Charlie Spargo with pick 29, shown some good signs but still a work in progress.

Harrison Petty with pick 37, a work in progress again but the early signs are very good.

Marty Hore with pick 56, slotted in very nicely.

Too early to call on the likes of Tom Sparrow, James Jordon, Toby Bedford.

Jason Taylor has done a good job with the picks he's been dealt.



Just further cementing yourself as having absolutely no idea.

Exhibit A - May locking down Riewoldt and holding him to 10.6

Hogan was becoming toxic to the The Dees culture and playing group. It was the right call to trade him.

So your first two examples were Brayshaw and Petracca?? All that does is highlight that he passed on De Goey twice. Weideman played two good games in 2018 and has not been seen since, should we make a missing person report??

James Harmes - passable

Aaron vandenBerg - 35 games in 4 seasons...

Mitch Hannan - couldn't get a kick in a team that finished 17th and was desperate for forwards

Oscar McDonald - he is the most damaging player with the ball....too bad he damages us!

Alex Neal-Bullen - he looks brilliant when we are 10 goals up. Downhill skier. Runs one way. Offers nothing if the game is in the balance.

Joel Smith - is a free hit as a Cat B rookie that only chose Melbourne due to family ties. Is only at the club because he couldn't make a living off Basketball.

Bayley Fritsch - I like him, but the coaches do him dirty

Spargo - absolute SPUD! He is too small and slow for AFL. He is a neat kick but can only boot the ball 25m. Delist!

Petty - Is a very nice VFL player

Hore - Depth player. He doesn't get a game when May, Lever and Jetta are fit.
 
So you think Hore is best 22??

Oscar has struggled in every game he has played!

Mitch Hannan played six games and got dropped. He is just a bigger Spargo.

Potentially Hore could be but you're trying to sidestep the point, he was a good pickup by Taylor.

Oscar struggled last year because he had no pre-season, he had a good 2018.

Again Hannan spent the majority of the year (including pre-season) recovering from knee surgery, he was always playing catch-up.
 
With all the talk of a comprised draft in 2020 won't having 2 first rounders be a bonus? With a lot of clubs looking to either trade down or out of the 1st round there will be a lot of movement. These 2 1st rounders can be upgraded even further.

There will be some team not wanting a 1st round pick and others - like GWS this year - looking to get in front of a bid. Even after the end of the season is done we won't know the true value in regard to picks until after the draft in the end of November.
 
North have 15 players who are aged 27+ and the fourth oldest list in the league. They obviously believe this is their last year in the premier ship window so it makes sense to trade out of this years first round and into next years

The man is s**t at his job. He gave up 2x 1st rounders and $900k for Lever. Traded pick 6 and have $850k to May. They are amongst our highest paid players and neither are match winners, or can lock down the opposition's best forward

His only achievement was drafting Oliver which only happened because of Paul Roos insistence.

Seems that on trading pick 8 we got from North was a good option and the recruiting team get a nice little tick. Need a ladder for that hole you are in?

The downgrade from pick 8 only looks like a smart trade because you are conveniently ignoring how much was given up for it in the first place!!

Melbourne paid overs for pick 8 in isolation

Then freo helped them out and payed overs for it also so that in the end the net result was a fair trade for melbourne. They gained a first and lost a first

However we won big and got 3 picks for 1

This is pretty much it, and that would have always been our intention to split 3 or 8 depending on how it panned out.

Yeah nah read the article.

Dees couldn’t move back past P12 because the bulldogs were keen.

The Dees couldn't move back because there were no takers.

Port wanted to keep 12 and 18 to keep their selections ahead a Mead bid.

Melbourne were into Weightman until Taylor got sucked into burning a 1st rounder on Pickett.
