To be honest I don't think we will trade any of the names mentioned on aw
You only get good value when people chase a player , slapping them on the table won't see us getting anything worthwhile for them
True its sort of sets it up as a "Fire Sale" , the only thing I'll say is Roos is not at Melb for ten years, he will want to shake the tree.
I have not heard anyone say it but in regards to assistance id be all for a tradable pick like what GWS got. Its such an anomaly give help to a team that needs immediate help by giving them a kid. Seems contradictory to me . But give them a u17pick that must be traded , the best kid can be drafted (like Omera or Martin etc) by a team that trades for it , make it a criteria that you get players 22-28 and suddenly an immediate player infusion. Another thing id like to see is the AFL allow a couple of Rookies on your list and pay for them. Want a bargain , make it your self.
Melb is not alone is needing help but dolling out draft picks is a bit like feeding a starving man cake. If you really want to help bottom clubs thru the draft then the first round of the draft should only include the clubs out of finals , so the bottom clubs would get two picks in the top 20.
