X2. Merretts value in a trade, far exceeds the value he would be to us.I can't see us trading for Merrett.
FA or forget it in my opinion.

the compo pick they would get would be better than your trade suggestion.. band 1, which is certainly what Merrett would attract, would be a pick after dons pick. That’s currently pick 8.Correct. Essendon will not let him go without a fight. I'm just thinking of scenarios that could potentially work in a trade situation. Ladhams is about the only player that we'd trade that has significant currency. People get confused between FA and RFA. Merrett is RFA. Essendon can and will match.
Question, regarding the rule that you have to use a 1st round draft pick in the draft at least once every two years... does that count if we only got into the first round via the Academy points pick of Lachie Jones in 2020? We didn't use a "true" first round pick. So does that mean our first rounder in 2021 is untradeable?
This "midfield numbers" thing is so overblown. He has three games with 20+ disposals. Lycett had 5 in his first season at Port (thats 18 games) for comparing with Ladhams 19 career games.Also just saying but I'd rather keep Ladhams. He's still a baby at top level with the amount of games in him and this is his first down period. People writing him off already is just stupid when this is a player who's shown he can get midfield numbers playing in the ruck in AFL footy.
Before this week might've suggested Sam Powell-Pepper but with the way Tommy Jonas was talking about him, it sounds like everyone can't wait to get him back in the seniors.There was some mention on BF a few days ago that Tredders had stated that one of our players has got his papers stamped by the club, could this player be Ladhams due to his indescretions?
Maybe if its used by Jobe Watson..."Papers stamped" could well end up being the next "off the table"
Just on the solo ruck discussion, Dixon looked OK in the middle last week. I'm thinking that now we have other forward targets he'll be able to compete there more because he doesn't have to be a cross country runner anymore.
Thought that he was hinting that this will be Rockliff's last yearThere was some mention on BF a few days ago that Tredders had stated that one of our players has got his papers stamped by the club, could this player be Ladhams due to his indescretions?
Do GWS need a ruck or are they still hanging onto the corpse of Mumford?
Pick 18 mate. We are winning the flag this year.
His corpse is goodDo GWS need a ruck or are they still hanging onto the corpse of Mumford?
No it's Definitely tradeable.Question, regarding the rule that you have to use a 1st round draft pick in the draft at least once every two years... does that count if we only got into the first round via the Academy points pick of Lachie Jones in 2020?

It really is a fantastic corpse.His corpse is good

As we've seen recently plenty of clubs want rucks. It's almost become accepted practice now to be willing to pay a premium for them at 23-25, as it's offset by not having to have carried them for 3 - 6 years on your list where they've just taken up a spot whilst developing. If Essendon didn't want Ladhams I could see another club offering a late first, which we could on-trade with our first to Essendon.Essendon wouldn't want Ladhams because aside from Draper, they also have Peter Wright who's effectively a Ladhams clone with more runs on the board. Cannot see who we'd be willing to part ways with to get Merrett here if Essendon match.
How about if he mentors framptonCan you imagine Mumford mentoring Pete?

DisagreeThis "midfield numbers" thing is so overblown. He has three games with 20+ disposals. Lycett had 5 in his first season at Port (thats 18 games) for comparing with Ladhams 19 career games.
In 2019 he averaged 14.6 disposals in his games mainly against teams lacking ruckmen. Lycett averaged 15.8 that year.
2020, he averaged mid 13s, Lycett averaged mid 11s.
This year Lycett has 16.6 disposals per game.
Is Lycett getting "midfield numbers"?
Not sure how I ended up on the Collingwood board draft and trading thread but apparently they're trading Brodie Grundy and his $900k contract to us at the end of this season.
