Melbourne will be looking to trade pick 3 so we should at least enquire who we can package up with pick 11 to trade up to 3. That said 3 won't get us petracca so who else is there worth trading up to secure that won't be there at 11
If Petracca goes #1, apparently Melbourne will take Brayshaw at #2. So your not only trading out a very good player and #11 but you are hoping that a tall goes #1 so Melbourne have to take Petracca leaving you with Brayshaw. And then... is Brayshaw that much better than player X and #11? not sure.

I would trade a Mitch Brown + Sinclair + 11 for pick 3.

If it landed us the second best rated mid and Bradshaw does sound good.:thumbsu:

187.5cm and probably still growing.

I believe Ben Waterman is a keen swimmer.
It will be very interesting to see if Jake fills out like his brother and dad by the time he is drafted.

Could legitimately be a 190cm 90kg mid when drafted. Then again he seems a bit more naturally skinny.

They both spoke well.

The Father-son camps sound like a really good initiative - hats off to the club for that.
Bodes well there is a link with Matera. Most F/S get to stay in their home state.

Should he even be a F/S candidate, Matera would need to move interstate - so hopefully that sort of link helps.
