No caravans l, just hopes and dreams.

I actually don’t have an update on Collins but I posted the same thing a few weeks ago. Blokes his size are gold for back up at least.

I’ve been lucky to have a few updates come across my desk this year. Was very quiet last year.

If we do trade Tyson I want us to draft a high ceiling inside mid.

If we do trade Tyson I want us to draft a high ceiling inside mid.

With pick 30-45?

We have Harmes Brayshaw Oliver Petracca and Viney who will play another 7-10 years together.
That's 5. I'd think the last thing we need is another inside mid.
We also have Maynard in reserve while Vanders Jones and Tyson are all playing out of position.
We draft a young inside type and they won't get a game inside at Melbourne without injuries till they are 26

Stengle from Richmond? Stuck in the VFL looks like a talented small forward, probably wont get the opportunities at richmond due to the number of small forward they already have.

I really like some of the depth players from Richmond. Apparently Markov + Bolton are going to stay, but I would look at Stengle, Ellis, Miles, Townsend (OOC), Lloyd for sure.

Miles nah.

If we could shake Ellis loose I think he’d do really well in our system

 

[schmuttt]

Would love Stengle

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Ellis is one of the most overrated players going around, hard pass

 

[Topkent]

Stengle for sure and Ellis at the right price. He's an upgrade on our wing options.

I reckon Ellis is a bit of Melksham. Talented footballer who has been thrown around a bit. Reckon he could give us value.

 

[pjfairbairn]

Is there any way we can get involved in the bidding war for Wingard? I'd love him!

what would we have to trade for him though?

 

[pjfairbairn]

Yeah, not sure. Stretch (SA boy) & Tyson (mates with Wattsy)?

 

[Russian Demon]

Yeah, not sure. Stretch (SA boy) & Tyson (mates with Wattsy)?

I don't think Pooort will go for that somehow.

In fact after last year's acquisitions, they may never trade with us ever again.

 

[Topkent]

Yeah, not sure. Stretch (SA boy) & Tyson (mates with Wattsy)?

They aren't even the plastic wrap around the steak knives.

Would have to be 2 firsts or something close.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Yeah we definitely don't have the currency for Wingard.

Two firsts for a player who has been out of form for two years and his club is shopping around? They'll be lucky to get a late first rounder.

He is 25 and a 2 time AA.
You're having a laugh if you think he is getting traded for pick 20

I could see it being 14-20 plus steak knives if Wingard is offered a nice deal and pushes for the trade. Port have put him out on the market, and he is keen to go, He aint getting a Jake Lever deal.

Jake Stringer, a 23yo AA went for 25 and 30

Watercooler talk saying that Jeff Garlett could end up at Crows

Watercooler talk saying that Jeff Garlett could end up at Crows

that wouldn't surprise me. I think he might be done getting a regular game at the club these days. probably time to offload and get a younger small fwd or two in.

 

[Demon 16]

I’m all up for offloading Jeffy and bringing 2 more defensive small forwards onto the list.

I know this is bordering on non-PC these days, but I would really love a young indigenous player if we can find one - they are so exciting to watch and often make good small forwards for their pace and skills.

 

[LeverPuller]

Bedford looks the type going off TAC Cup stats - averaging seven tackles a game.

 

[VitalDread]

I know Melbourne scouted irving mosquito a fair bit

I watched the replay of the TAC cup Stingrays prelim to see this Toby Bedford academy prospect of ours play. from what i could gather off of just watching 1 game, he's very raw and needs to work on his ground ball gets amongst other things, but he's pretty aggressive and physical for a small fwd, got breakaway speed and looks a good kick. i'm not saying he's as good, or ever will be, but the way he moves on the field sort of reminded me of Daniel Rioli. he might be worth a shot.
