I think everyone would be intrigued by the idea of turning him into the star he was supposed to be. If we can explore that on the cheap, then I'd be ok for the AFC to take the punt.

Being a #1 pick though, he comes at an inflated price. Theres the risk.
According to SEN this morning, last season there was a trade proposal with North Melbourne for an early second round pick. Trading for a player might be a saving grace for Melbourne as you're not putting a pick value on the trade.

What is Sam Day's contract status?

Should I take the lack of mentions for him as a sign that he's locked up already by GC. He's nowhere near the star he could be yet but I reckon he's made some good strides this year...especially when moved to CHB. IMO he'd be the perfect foil for Talia as another KPD and would prefer to see us make a 'full' offer for him as compared to Betts or Cooney (not that they're mutually exclusive).

I love the optimism on the Melbourne board. Fair enough they're excited by trade week as theres not a lot else to be excited about for them in recent times but the delusion is concerning. A cracker was pick 3, Watts (ordinary) and Tapscott (struggles for a game) for Sloane and Crouch. lolza

Next they'll be throwing around Jamar & Sylvia for Sloane & Crouch. Flogs.

Lol no chance mate. We're getting reamed.


How so?
Both Smack and Gorringe are average right now. Massive potential, and want to go home. Gorringe has 3 or 4 extra CMs on him and is far more agile meaning we'd have to give up a lot more to get him.

Henderson has had a few good games but is as inconsistent as they come. No one is still really sure if hes a 3rd tall back, floater, wingman, high half forward or what. May as well trade if he wants out and while his value is up.
Polec and Gorringe have far greater upside then either Henderson and Smack

It seems one of their main problems is they massively overate Watts. He hasn't shown anything other then being an average footballer and just coz they took him at pick one think he is worth an early first rounder lol. Pick 25-35 more accurate.

Exactly. A sniffer dog that doesn't catch the bad guys isn't as highly rated as he used to be.

Watts for Bryce Gibbs straight up is another one they've proposed.

What's the bet that we end up with Matthew White from Richmond?

We don't believe in approaching players mid-year (despite having it done to us year in, year out) so we will probably end up with someone who would have been delisted anyway.

every team has supporters who overrate any player that decides to leave on their own accord.

I've been offline for the past few days, and i'm sure this has been brought up earlier in the thread.....

Hendo has officially asked to go home. Is he contracted?

At least we should get a 2nd rounder if he is contracted.....

Shame, as he is playing better than Reilly was :(

Isnt this the point?
He has had what 3-4 years on Brisbanes list and we havent seen him play.
What makes you think he fits into our club, when we are a more successful team with a deeper midfield?
His junior form is impeccable ....players don't lose talent ......but AFL clubs CAN stuff them (Richmond, St Kilda...)

We need left footers :thumbsu: ......we need pace :thumbsu: ......we need talent:thumbsu:
