    Why Trengove?

    I'd prefer the 2 of them get compared next to Judd/Cousins/Kerr or Voss/Lappin/Black or Ablett/Bartel/Chapman. Scully/Trengove/Grimes has a good ring to it.

    Ball expected to nominate for National Draft tomorrow

    It'll be funny to see all the opinions about Ball in this & other threads do massive backflips if he does end up at Melbourne. Just saying...

    Stevo's Draft Selections - Herald Sun

    Even if you do take this ridiculously stupid theory into play, my first thought is that you'd maybe want to keep the additional pressure off the kid from interstate, everyone seems to ignore this point, that if trengove cracks there's a risk he'd want to move closer to home (and yes i'm well...

    drafting picks 11 and 18

    Best available I understand, but KPD? Thorp would be just as speculative a pick as a draftee, maybe more so. Even if we take Thorp, our KPF stocks consist of Watts, Miller, Netwon, Jurrah (who many have queries on him being KP, myself included) & Thorp. That gives us Miller who's a trier but...

    Mitch Thorp

    He's 194cm & 86kg according to what I can find, which is maybe a bit light but not to bad seeing as he's not yet 21. Would very much like Thorp despite injuries concerns. I think HFC have decided that they don't need both Thorp & Dowler and with Dowler stepping up this year, Thorp has been...

    2010 Official Team - As voted by you.

    Scully is no smaller than Deledio, Murphy, Gibbs, comparitive for height and they all played most of their 1st seasons (Murphy did get injured). Palmer's u18 weight was only 3 or 4 kgs more. He'll play just as many games as Trengove barring injury. The knee op someone mentioned was just a...

    Melbourne grows a pair of Ball(s)

    I've asked the mods, but no dice, they just point at the BF policy, but i'm being stubborn. So we're back to having to wait about 2 weeks to know anything. Ball must be back this weekend & I assume Connors would have to be too, he's got a few players (Ball, McPhee, Wojak) involved in...

    Melbourne grows a pair of Ball(s)

    Where do you get Oct 31 from? I may well be wrong, but what I get from those 3 dates above is that out of contract players (Ball is), not delisted (Ball may not be) can still nominate until Nov 10. But St Kilda has until Nov 13 to actually delist Ball, at which time he would become a...

    Melbourne grows a pair of Ball(s)

    Thanks for posting that. But (AFL's fault not yours) that clears up absolutely nothing. :thumbsu: That means, he has to nominate for the ND by the 10th of November. Unless St Kilda delist him prior to the 13th of November, which would give him until 18th of November to nominate for the ND. So...

    drafting picks 11 and 18

    I think you've covered most of the bases, but of course there'll be sliders that you've assumed would go before here as there always is. Both Bastinac & Jetta are predominately mids. And I can't see us drafting a small/medium forward with any of those picks seeing as we have wona, maric...

    Melbourne grows a pair of Ball(s)

    It's a long drawn out process, but it's not quite at this stage yet, we haven't even spoken to Ball as he's overseas. Actually I read in the Welsh/McPhee article that Connors is even on holidays, so even preliminary talks with Connors would've been limited as yet. As for the above that sounds...

    Melbourne grows a pair of Ball(s)

    I know there's already a heap of Luke Ball threads, but I thought this deserved a new one. The article on HS website quoting Connolly about Luke Ball's future "We think it's Melbourne or St Kilda" Article here Good to see us finally come out publicly and take a hard line in a situation...

    Pre Season has started and there is no news of the delistings???

    There's an article on HS website, i think for tomorrow's print, that says that Morton hasn't been able to do any weights yet because of thumb surgery. And as quoted, he's not going to suddenly gain 5kg in 2 weeks.

    The National Draft

    I think that's pretty short sighted. We're likely to draft at least 1 tall forward, so they're likely to play. Look how raw Watts was & he still got a few games, so that makes 3 or 4. While we've got a developing list where like to try to play all of our young players in at least a couple of...

    The National Draft

    Not that I disagree, I think we should take best available ruckman @ pick 34. But if you're including pick 11, you missed McEvoy @ pick 9 taken in '07 who St Kilda think will be their ruckman for the next 10 years & Mitch Clark @ pick 9 in '05 who is probably rated the 3rd or 4th best...
