Geezus now people are freaking put over Melbourne? Their mids look good but put their spine up against ours and get a grip!

Mids are a dime a dozen in the draft. We will be fine!
Why do people always say that? Midfield is absolutely the most important part of the ground and having key players there is vital for a premiership. Bris, Geel, Haw all the best teams over last 15 years, all had unbelievable midfields.

People say it Because it's alot easier to find quality mids then quality talls

Thats very true but of those 3 only Geelong had average KPP and even then their KPD and ruckman were elite. Outside of Hogan and McDonald who holds up that Melbourne team?

We can focus on drafting mids early and dont have to worry about paying out for a KPP from here on!

Because 60% of the top 20 draftees are mids.

pick 14 will be a mid.
next year's 1st rounder will be a mid.

Add that to Steven, armo, dunstan, billings, newnes, freeman, weller, ross, sinclair ect thats a pretty decent potential midfield going forward.

If you had said to me at the start of the trade period we would end up with:

Carlisle
Freeman
Rice
And keep a pick in the first round, I would have jumped at it.

After all, it was touted early doors that we wanted 5 for jc and 23 so we could trade 2 second rounders for pick 14. We achieved that.

Set aside the desire to hurt dodo, we have done well. And let's just see what magic Ameet still has in store for us!

freeman is next years crop- we get him now but we take a pick out of a strong draft. The potential of a Luke Dunstan, Goddard, Mc Kenzie etc.

GWS
IN: Freo 2016 1st + 14
OUT: McCarthy + 27

Fre
IN: McCarthy + Lee + 27
OUT: Weller + 22 + 2016 1st

StK
IN: Weller + 22
OUT: Lee + 14

Will still be a good slider around 22. Not as critical to get the quality mid in if we already have Weller.
The 27 from GWS probably levels it out for Freo.
No way we get Weller and 22

It's the draft. Can't go needs unless there's a bees sick between players.
Well at 14 I think you can because they are much of a muchness. There will be a bees in it if you want there to be. Say a CHB was available that you rated 14 and you look at our list and cant find a spot for him for 5 years then why go there. Id rather pick a 17th best player that may play day one.

Apparently the pies are ringing around trying to find another 2nd round pick to pay for aish.

Will the pies have anything we're interested in once the Treloar deal is taken into account?
