Taylor and Co would have been aware for the last 3+ months that we wouldn't have a first or probably a 2nd for Hibberd
No doubt we have been able to put in more time than other clubs into players from the 40+ range which means we are every chance of finding another gem

Hi Guys pardon the interruption, just dropped in to congratulate you guys on a great trade period and conmiserations that you needed to deal with that grandstanding fool from Essendon.
Very strange days for the traditionally 'struggling' clubs. Bulldogs win the flag, Dees and Saints building strong lists and killing the trade period, while clubs like Richmond and Port are in meltdown while Hawthorn and Collingwood are just confused.

:rolleyes: Deal got done mate. Salty tears from '15 still taste good.

Well done Dees!!:thumbsu:
 
Interesting , currently Dee lives picks in draft are 59, 84 & 102
We've had 4 top 10 picks in the last 2 drafts, its a risk that we're in a very strong position to make.

As has been mentioned above, Weideman is effectively our 1st round pick this year, which has proven to be a good call, given there are no Key Forward's anywhere near the top 10 this year, and we get an extra year of training and development into him.
 
Anyone think we might try to improve our draft position now involving next years first round pick? Are we allowed to do this again this year?
I just don't think we need to. We effectively took the Weid from this year's first round. I reckon we have plenty of decent youth from the past few drafts and if there is one draft to 'skip' for us, it is this one.
 
I would just try and get back into the 2nd round at least. Although next year we will be more of a destination club and be happy we held on to our 2017 2nd

Wrapped with this trade period! No more "we'll just have to wait till round X before we debut him"..
Instead we have experienced players, ready to roll round one!

Wouldn't mind us packaging next years round 2, 3, player etc for another first round pick.. Might be the thing that gets NF to MFC.
 
Also before any peanut says Lewis Hibberd and Melksham are taking games off kids, those kids just need to become better than them to earn a game

Amen!

Yes actually. Wasn't about the deal but dealing with the fool you have as a list manager. Carlisle and Gresham compared to VFL players was fine by me.

Salty tears - hilarious

Competition will bring out the best in everyone. :thumbsu:

If it doesnt, your not worth having on the list anyway.

Exactly, the guys like Kennedy Bugg AVB ANB Melksham Wagner Salem etc who are on the fringe just have to improve next year .. there's nothing wrong with that

He's doing the exact same job as Ameet, and doing the right thing by his employer. You'd love him at the Saints. No need to get your panties in a bunch just because he's no push over.

Don't think so. Renowned as a very bad operator, anyway we are on the Dees board, so not getting into a slanging match with a deluded Essendon supporter.

Just ask Saints, Port, and now Demons supporters what dealing with the woodenspooner during trade period is like.

Dodoro hasn't landed a decent trade in ten years.

Apologies Dees supporters. Wont pollute your board by responding to this silly person again.

Whoa! Hey mods there is a Saints v Bombers shit fight going down on the Melbourne board!!!

Actually I'm fine with that. Come again anytime guys.
Not sure whether to bring popcorn or ask them to stop...

Leave 'em I say. I think we've done our dash for trade week 2016 anyway, unless Cyril or some Hawk gets the shits and wanders over to AAMI park.

Probably not true. Dawes and Lumumba got a couple of years as passengers. Traded in senior players get preferential treatment. Probably only applicable to Melksham here though, the other two will be best 22 I imagine.
