YES PLEASE!

 

[Scubaveg]

We are well stocked and I definitely think we have other area's that we'd prioritise although considering he's OOC, I don't think AMT would cost a huge amount at the trade table. He'd be an upgrade in that 3rd small forward role over Bundy. I think he'd be deadly in our forward line with Charlie and Linc copping more attention. I don't think it'd hurt to add more potency to our forward line.

Anyway the players I'd love for us to add is Brad Hill on the wing and Zac Williams off the HBF. Not sure who we'll end up with but I think we''ll definitely have another high quality player knocking on our door wanting to play finals footy under Chris Fagan. Wouldn't be surprised if another gun mid requests a trade to us. We'd have to be one of the most attractive teams in the comp right now for players looking for a move.

Can certainly get behind the Brad Hill idea

Hopes dashed.

Darcy Parish set to sign a two year extension at the Bombers.

Dashed for who?

There were a few here who certainly didn't want him.

 

[peasantbruh69]

I hope the club has a crack at somebody like Shai Bolton. Classy user of the ball, very quick, knows where the goals are, and can win the footy as well. Would compliment McCluggage on the opposite wing, delivering the ball lace out to the forwards. Probably have to offer him a bit of coin to get him interested...

Don't forget Cyril may get itchy feet!

 

[buttermuffs]

I would jump on Brayshaw. Is a good player and it having a down year. He would slot in well as another good midfielder.

Would the Pies pick be enough for Brayshaw a former top 5 pick?

Probably not. With Melbourne believing they can rise up again next year they would not want to trade one of their best players from last year. I’d say the Pies and Suns picks with some swaps in their favour would be close, but that’s if Angus clearly wants out.

There’s no way Dees trade Brayshaw.

We need to be looking for xfactor players like Isaac Rankin.
I know he's unlikely from GC but that style of player.

Zorko is getting older and we wouldn't be winning without him at the moment.

I see potential in our young guys.... but not with the explosive attributes that Zorko has.

We also need another thumping accurate kicker out of the backline

 

[BrizzyBandit]

Just adding to my post..... We are technically in our premiership window now. Strange to think of it that way.... but

Steph Martin
Dan Rich
Luke Hodge
Dayne Zorko
Mitch Robinson

Are all in their 30's. These are some of our most valuable players. We have some depth in some of those positions.... but will they deliver the consistency these players have found?

Age at start of next season in brackets and OOC years and possible capable(IMO) replacement, only looking at players currently on our list.

Steph Martin-(33) OOC 2019. Oscar McInerney.
Dan Rich-(29) OOC 2021. Mitchell Hinge/Cedric Cox/Alex Witherden.
Luke Hodge- Retiring.
Dayne Zorko-(31) OOC 2021. Zac Bailey.
Mitch Robinson-(30) OOC 2021. Jarrod Berry/Tom Berry.

IMO we have structured these players contracts perfectly considering their age and form, IMO Rich, Zorko and Robinson are in career best form and deservedly have 2 years left at a minimum, from there I'd be very surprised given their age at the end of their contract if they were not then on rolling 1 year contracts. I think Stef will get a 1 year extension with the possibility of a markers met (ie. B&F finish/games played) extension into 2021.

2020-2021 will also be smack bang on our opening premiership window so no need to worry as far as flags and beyond 2021 IMO, we have time to fill these big holes from within and to look outside via draft, trade and free agency over the next couple of years. We are in a great spot.

I don't know where the Clayton Oliver rumour has come from or if people are just saying a player "Like" him. Just a rough trade idea for him that could be beneficial for both teams.

Brisbane Give: McStay, Pick 17 (Collingwood First), Pick 19 (GC Second) Future 2nd (Roughly 32 Next year)
Melbourne Give: Oliver & Pick 39 (Melb Third)

I'd be happy to go into the draft with pick 32 & 39 as our highest picks. Toby Wooler or Tom Fullarton will develop into a key forward partner for Hipwood. Then add Oliver into the mids with Neale, Zorko, Robinson, McCluggage, Berry Brothers, Lyons Brothers.

Thoughts???

 

[Fagenslions36]

Would do that trade in a heart beat we have plenty of players who could play the same role as mcstay . Skinner , balendeen in few years , walker atm , Adams could play forward Aswell . Getting a gun midfielder into the team to would also allow Zorko to play deeper forward in the twilight of his career .

I wouldn't want to trade McStay, he is just entering breakout age for key position forwards, could turn out being a big mistake and we are not overly stocked with proven KPFs. I wonder if they'd be interested in Tom Cutler/Lewy Taylor.

Clayton Oliver would be a fantastic get for us though and would set up our inside mid stocks for the next decade.

 

[Sam93]

Anyone know why McStay hasn't resigned yet? Starting to get abit worried.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

From his perspective, I'd suggest you'd want to sign when your value is at its peak, not when you're struggling to kick goals.

To me that's clearly overs for Oliver. Admittedly he is still very young and has development in him but he has come back to the field somewahat this year with Melbourne struggling - as has Brayshaw. There are plenty of people on the Melbourne board who think Oliver's disposal is often ineffective and that is my impression watching him. He wins plenty of ball but then gets rid of it, often to someone under pressure, rather than taking the responsibility himself to do something with it. Not sure what his official disposal efficiency is but not sure we should be giving up our first, our second which is near enough to a first and McStay for someone who is yet to reach the elite level and may never. KPP's don't grow on trees either and McStay has been improving each year and is now doing the sorts of team oriented things we have been pushing for.

 

[jackess]

Oliver has threatened to be a Dangerfield, Cripps or Bontempelli but seems to be more like Mitchell or M Crouch. Still very good but maybe not in that top bracket of damaging midfielders.

Worth a lot more than the trade above. A top 10 pick would have to be involved.

We already have him on the list; Cedric Cox.

No idea where the rumour came from either, but IMO our chances of landing Oliver are close to zero. No way Melbourne would look to entertain a trade. He is their second best player behind Gawn. Without question he is an elite midfielder. He still has his best football in front of him. Sure he could be more damaging with his disposal, but he plays his role and distributes very well. He would cost 2 first round picks at an absolute minimum, with one of those picks in the top 5 I would say. He is a gun and I would love him at the Lions, but would cost way too much on the trade table for my liking.

Not 2019 draft but... Noah McFayden in the U16 All Aussie Team.

 

[carnthemlions]

I doubt it, but if if he was I'm not convinced he'd be worth the cost. His disposal this season has been genuinely atrocious for anyone, let alone a player who gets more outside touches. When we played them he handaballed over his head to no one multiple times despite being under minimal pressure.

Would do that trade in a heart beat we have plenty of players who could play the same role as mcstay . Skinner , balendeen in few years , walker atm , Adams could play forward Aswell . Getting a gun midfielder into the team to would also allow Zorko to play deeper forward in the twilight of his career .

McStay's taken 28 contested marks this season, none of those players could replace that output.
