List Mgmt. 2015 AFL Draft

Look, I'd like to do better than one with the team that finished 12th too; but things are limited.

In all seriousness though, will be a good thing for traditional footy if this rivalry does wake up again. Was the perfect class rivalry back in the 50s.

You've got the Weideman and Moore grievances, then Dawes and Lumumba for us, and Howe for you guys.
Do Melbourne fans hold grievances towards Dawes and Lumumba? Most 'pies fans wished them well and weren't unhappy with them moving on.

You've got the Weideman and Moore grievances, then Dawes and Lumumba for us, and Howe for you guys.

Is Dawes and Lumumba grievances for you or us? Because I'm pretty sure all Pies supporters are thrilled with how that's panned out.

And I don't think anyone is pretending Howe is a real coup or anything. Just don't see the rivalry, no one on this side of the fence is unhappy with how it's all unfolded.
 
The good news for us all is that the Queens Birthday game should have some more spice if Dawes, Lumumba and Howe wasn't enough. The bad news for you lot being that he's a Richmond supporter.

Well aware of whom the kid supports, which is why I'm glad the Tigers didn't pick him up. You'd be naive to think however, that Murray won't be in his ear for the next two years, given that Melbourne was the arch enemy back in the days he was playing.
 
We'll take Darcy Moore home in return, if you like?
Darcy is already home. Peter is on the record saying his biggest regret was leaving Collingwood.
Wasn't eligible as a Father/Son for us, even though he played his best footy in red and blue.
Wouldn't have mattered. The kid grew up a Collingwood supporter. Bleeds black and white. Says it has always been his dream to play for the pies. Melbourne wouldn't have had a sniff even if he had been eligible to go there.
 
Does anyone know how many live picks we will have in the rookie draft?

I know that Derek said that we had the scope to bring in between 2 to 5 players in the draft (I assume Frost is outside of this as he was an automatic elevation). We have also committed to Keeffe and Thomas so with us picking up 4 players in the draft, does that leave us with just the one live pick for Friday?

Power to you if you believe that his Grandad is going to tell him anything he hasn't heard before, but it just doesn't seem too likely - especially considering the only reason he particularly cares about Collingwood is because of an archaic family link.

Have you seen them play? Of course they're our grievances! Having said that, Lumumba gets roundly booed when we play you guys with more fervour than anyone other than Jack Watts. Howe's the kind of person that will stoke the rivalry, especially in the week leading up to the game and even more if he takes a hanger during.

Right now we should have 4 Category A Rookie spots available, with our list standing at 39/1 (plus 2 Cat. B Rookies). If we take Keeffe and Thomas back that will still leave 2 more rookie spots, though Tim Golds is considered a good chance to fill one of those.
 
People really overate hine. Has been mediocre since landing beams IMO. Especially with a lot of list cloggers eg. Russel, lynch, young ect

Bit rough. Has nailed a lot of mid-late rounders who have turned into gems for us.

Just off the top of my head Elliott, Langdon and Marsh are pretty good recent examples of great late picks.
 
“They (Murray and father Mark) are so excited for me. Collingwood is just next door so it’s not too far anyway. I’m so excited to be part of the Melbourne Football Club.”

Watch this space ;)
Yes, can't wait until we swoop on Petracca & Weideman in 2 years time...Gosch's paddock to the Holden centre is a short walk.

Wow really NO ONE heard of degoey before the draft and look what we have, Maynard wasn't expected to go that high. Moore was expecting landing langdon and Marsh after pick 50 is a seriously good, let's go back and look at the 05 draft Thomas wasn't near the top 5 yet we picked him and pendlebury was a top 20 pick but the 15-20 range. Hine doesn't care he picks who he wants and turns them into gems
 
We're taking Golds, Keeffe and Thomas.
We have a total of 4 more list places. Assuming no DFA by tomorrow (close of 3rd & final period).
Hence on Friday we will take 4 rookies...2 live picks plus Keeffe & Thomas.
We enter 2016 with:
39 senior players
5 Cat A rookies
2 Cat B rookies

We upgrade 1 rookie (nominated) before season commences.
The Shazz LTI will not be activated until necessary.

Elliott who no one had heard of...
De Goey an absolute jet
Langdon to play nearly every game after getting picked up at 65 odd...
Witts from nowhere, now some are suggesting he has the value of a first round pick...
Crisp from nowhere to top 3 in the coleman


But no having Jordan Russell on the list for a year at no cost to anyone really ruined his legacy...
