I hear GC used to be keen on Ricky Petterd.... would we accept Ablett?

Nah - too old. I'd be willing to accept a Bennel/ Swallow package deal, however.

 

[Dez!]

We trade any pick in the first round or Martin for Dawes and Wellingham, I burn down AAMI Park.

Aren't Collingwood based there too? Go for it.

 

[Animosity]

Has there been discussions for gc to trade p2 as part of a deal for Tippett and eliminating gc bidding for viney ( If Unless of course crows have vast interest and would nominate ) but they do have plenty of his type and calibre

 

[Bartram_Class]

Repeated for truth, but so much depends on the Viney bidding.

If he sneaks through to 26, we should definitely trade away our Pick 4 (either for a mini draft pick, or a couple of decent players from elsewhere). If not, I suspect we'll keep Pick 4 so we have a 'live' pick.

Then it will depend who we can attract with Pick 13.

No doubt. Tippett and Viney are the major dominoes... One has fallen, the other will tomorrow morning, and then a lot will follow from that.

 

[Tulip]

Trade Pick 4 in a Superdraft?

 

[CWaffles]

I can't see any reason why we would trade away pick 4 in a draft with so much talent...even if we get Viney at 26 I suggest we use picks 3 and 4 to add to super talent to the team.

Dawes would clearly come cheaper than 13 and I don't see Wellingham coming to MFC, he doesn't want to be there so why would we want him? Wasn't there big talk about having players who want to be at Melbourne and play for the jumper.....he isn't our guy

 

[LeverPuller]

Depends on what we get for Pick 4. If we got Wellingham and Dawes, not happy.

If we somehow snagged Tippett similar to Clark 2011, or a high-end midfielder (Dangerfield is the one I am thinking of, or someone of a similar age and class) then I'd be happy with trading pick 4.

Unfortunately Dangerfield signed that three-year deal mid-year...so it'd have to be more than pick 4.

According to Jay Clark it's worth a Josh Caddy...*, what a muppet.

 

[AllenJakovich13]

Interesting to see what happens with Stef Martin

I can see our 13 being worth Caddy.

Ultimately the club won't trade it if they can't get what they want for it, and I'd be perfectly happy with that. No club is going to bend us over the barrel for pick 4 - it's the highest pick to be traded directly for a player since Judd.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Trade Pick 4 in a Superdraft?

Could definitely be used as part of a deal to ensure we get Pick 1 in the mini-draft.

4th best player in the 2012 crop or potentially the best player in the 2013 crop?

Caddy doesn't want to come to Melbourne, anyway.

 

[LeverPuller]

Okay.
The Hun is reporting we're looking at Farren Ray.
2nd-rounder, 3rd-rounder, Martin and Morton all on the table - one of those four.

Don't mind it to be honest. Ray for Martin and use the pick on Wines.

Thus (projected)

B: Bartram/Jetta Frawley Garland/Sellar
HB: JMac TMc Watts
C: Grimes Viney Trengove
HF: Howe Dawes Ray
F: Blease Clark Byrnes
Foll: Jamar Jones McKenzie
Int: Tapscott Wines Fitz Bail

 

[Tulip]

Ray for Martin?

What kind of diabolically internally damaging LSD are you on????

They'll take a token 4th rounder, he doesn't play!

 

[CM Sean]

The Herald Sun is ****ed. I hate these ******* articles that don't say s**t. Pisses me off. lol.

But anyway (Farren Ray to Melbourne?)

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/dep...g-afl-trade-week/story-fn69a32t-1226490211582

 

[Bartram_Class]

Happy to pick up Ray, but only with a pick we otherwise wouldn't use please.

Martin has more trade value if we're looking to move him on than a swap with Ray.

 

[Tulip]

I don't think Striker realises that Ray doesn't make the St Kilda 22 anymore

 

[Ed_Gein]

The Herald Sun is screwed. I hate these ******* articles that don't say s**t. Pisses me off. lol.

It's just a preview as an incentive to try and get people to pay for a digital pass.

If you want to read that article in full, Google; 'Melbourne looks to secure Farren Ray during AFL Trade Week' (do this with any of the HS articles that only show a couple of lines) then hover your mouse over the arrow next to the link of the article which brings up the preview, then click on the image and it will take you to the article in full.

 

[Punchy Demons]

I'm hoping we can get Viney with #26 but I think we will end up using #3.
I cant believe (hope) we arent looking to give up #4 for Dawes & Wellingham.
It is very unlikely with Wellingham not wanting to come to Melbourne anyhow.
I also cant believe we would offer #13 for Dawes alone. We secured Clark lat year with #12 & Dawes is not in the same league as Clark, coupled with the fact that this years draft is meant to be of better quality to last years.
As for Farren Ray, please tell me we wouldn't offer anything more than a token 3rd or 4th rounder.
While we are at it, if Port are looking to trade only a 3rd or 4th rounder for Monfries, (rather than through free agency) we should look at it too. The only thing being that I wouldnt offer him 4 yrs, perhaps 3 yrs though

 

[LeverPuller]

I don't think Striker realises that Ray doesn't make the St Kilda 22 anymore

I'm a Ray fan. He only got stiffed by Scott Watters, was good when he did play.

This, many Saints fans including myself were baffled at the hard time Watters gave Ray. He was very good when given a chance.
