"Could have Logan Morris"

 

[MarcMaverick]

You'd hope we're not giving up too much more than this for Heath lol (granted, Reidy sucks)

Reidy is barely Colts standard. Even Jack Silvagni would be a bettet ruck option.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Crows seem desperate to re-shape the narrative for every missed opportunity lol

Adrian Dodoro from Temu.

 

[Scythe]

Now this is a player I'd be interested in

 

[Scythe]

Now this is a player I'd be interested in

Throw him in next to Koz and set the record for the shortest starting midfield of all time.

On a serious note though, him and Koz rotating between midfield and forward would be a nice combo.

 

[Daemon]

100% get that vibe as well. Lamb actually seeemed pis$$ed at him tbh. But again, if a player hasn't signed for so long, you'd think a plan would have been in place. Poor list management.

More Tim Lamb bashing. He can't just click his fingers and a defender appears out of nowhere. It's probably why he is so annoyed because we invested in the guy and he dicks us around and there are no suitable replacements. Not everything is Lamb's fault.

Does anyone budge on a 7/14/20 for Trac and 43 and change?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

So many 's already.

 

[The Dr]

Now this is a player I'd be interested in

Me too. Huge potential despite his size, and fits an area of need too.

Would love him to be part of the Trac deal if we can’t get Humphrey.

 

[stEdy]

Draft crop must be garbage - 7 for Flanders seems well overs.

Something like 6 or 7, Rogers and 17 for Petracca, 23 and 41 I'd live with. Then try and bundle up 17 and McVee compo to get higher in the first round (or get an extra first for next year).

Yeah don't like that deal for us.

It’s a small sample and many don’t rate the stats (but it’s better than nothing IMO) but Roger’s is one of the better kicks in the league in 2025. This is based on threat (likelihood of a kick to result in a score compared to average) and retention rating.

If Humphrey is untouchable and Rogers wants to move, with GC’s embarrassment of midfield riches and not enough opportunity, plus what sKing said about ball use and flexibility (Rogers is a forward/mid) it just seems to make sense.

Trac for 6 or 7 plus Rogers is feeling closer to the mark. Ideally a bit more coming in.

Look who I found in the replies

If Flanders is worth 7 then Trac is worth everything GC has.

 

[Scythe]

Yeah don't like that deal for us.

Don't think we're going to get three picks 20 and under for him tbh

 

[Lampers]

Don't think we're going to get three picks 20 and under for him tbh

Trac is probably worth three picks in that 5-20 range in this year’s draft but the problem is GC needing the points for matching. So they actually are valuing those picks higher than Melbourne or probably any other club would.

 

[Topkent]

Yeah don't like that deal for us.

I reckon that's about where they start and then wait to see if we blink

 

[Scythe]

I reckon that's about where they start and then wait to see if we blink

Even in a crap draft, don't see them starting with three firsts given that they need points for their academy picks

 

[schmuttt]

I reckon that's about where they start and then wait to see if we blink

Yeah I'd expect that as an offer, I just want us to hold firm. This draft is apparently bad so there is no reason why we shouldn't be playing hardball.

 

[I Love Lamb]

GC have a shitload to play with if Roger’s also an option. Would take him in a heart beat as part of a deal.

We could have picks 27/41/55/Mcvee compo to help them with picks which could include 33+ something else.

 

[Scythe]

Just occurred to me that I might have been remembering Lombard and Rogers as the same person given they're extremely similar archetypes. Good lord they've had a lot of academy players

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Tim Lamb needs to be more like Lemon Grab and less like Tim Lamb: This deal is, unacceptable to the Melbourne Football Club...
