Melbourne in the Media

You so understand we still get more picks next year and the years after?

That'd be perfectly fine if our Premiership Window was open indefinitely and players could play on into their 50s.

Lever was always a first rounder no problems there, in my case with the benefit of hindsight I now think 2 first rounders was to much,club should of demand as much for Hogan in the same way the crows did to us

We did... we got 6 and 25

2009 proves the point in many ways, take your shots and hope for the best, Scully has been a fine AFL footballer for a decade, Trengove got wrecked by injury and incompetence.

Teams draft at about 50% in the first round, you can get good real quick if you do what Hawthorn did in 04 with multiple picks early, Melbourne in 14 and 15 did a similar thing and it seemed to be working well until they started trading away all our picks

Scully is bang average. He’s lost a lick of pace with that ankle and absolutely cannot kick. Henderson is a better winger for Hawthorn than Scully

Two firsts for a bloke who plays KPF, was still in contract and had a decent body of work under his belt. Not unreasonable. Lever was a very good intercept defender, out of contract and has had question marks over his knees.

Negotiating, using leverage, etc, its not hard to imagine we could have done a fair bit better out of those two deals than what we've got.

And I wanted 8 firsts, and you included as steak knives. You'd make an awesome Freo fan.

You've included Levers negatives but ignored Hogans navicular and drug issues. Sneaky campaigner

I do and I hope we use them wisely, I was replying to you saying if our 14 and 15 first rounders wasn’t enough another player won’t make a difference, I disagree good players always make a difference

Cut it out. Preuss is a 2nd ruck. Never will be in Max's class. Hes a backup. So we need to develop a main young ruck, and no saying yet that Bradtke will be that player.?

Hore is a good medium defender. But he's not a Jetta, for sure. As a stopper. Hore is more a replacement for Hibbo. We haven't really tried out that small defender position yet, IMO.
I think Salem will end up in the midfield, and cetreline.

Lots of good ruck talent in the 3rd round and beyond, just gotta develop them. We’d be dumb to spend an early pick on one with Gawn still likely to play 5-6 more years. Just gotta pick a raw one a few years in advance and develop them

25 comes after 18

25 comes after 18

6 comes before 10...

That's because Hogan's drug problems and navicular issues are positives (stimulates local economy), you campaigner.

Mackie and Lonergan wouldn't have done * all if Ablett Kelly Bartel etc hadn't become superstars.

If Oliver Brayshaw Petracca and Weid just become good to average then we are ****ed anyway

Morris was kicked from the MFC podcast early last year for leaking club stories. Absolute worm.

 

[Tulip]

Great work by Hoges. Morris is the one who stole that photo of May having a pint and broke the ‘story’ that turned out to be May trying to talk to a mate after a break up

6 comes before 10...

And both picks are first rounders a trait not shared by pick 25

 

[Topkent]

And both picks are first rounders a trait not shared by pick 25

So just because it has the term 'first rounder' attached to it it magically becomes better?

Points wise we got more for Hogan than we gave for Lever.

Mackie was a 3 time premiership play and an all Australian, Lonergan a premiership player, the point is you keep drafting good players with your high picks and you build great sides as Geelong did

 

[Topkent]

Anyway I'm off to work you filthy lesbians

No because you get to call out someones name sooner, there’s a reason every club wants first rounders for their players

The point system is as useless as most of my posts

Go landscape yourself a hole in the ground and stay in it, you dirty beezlesnatch.

That is useless!

Not really. Just about all trades these days are done with points in mind.

 

[jhong]

Point is you lot are arguing (discussing) over something that is done and can't be changed . It's done , only time will tell if we ****ed up or didn't .
