Yep if there was any chance we could get Wellingham for Martin Melbourne would be absolutely stupid not to jump at that. Maybe Martin and pick 13 for Wellingham?

I completely disagre - Martin would have played all year if fit.

He's of much more value to Collingwood, structurally, than Wellingham.

Martin and pick 13 is a massive rip off.

Yeah I think Pick 13 is asking too Much but your 2nd Rounder might be better to put in the Deal would be Closer
 
dont see the need for the dees to offload martin in the first place. clark wont relief ruck, he's been made a permanent fwd. look at west coast with cox/natanui/lynch, they play 3 talls very well. no reason why the dees can't do the same. i tend to agree that the martin/wellingham trade is a bit lop sided, wellingham is worth more than martin even though i rate martin. couldnt see wellingham leaving the pies anyway

Well going by Reports Neeld does not rate him

Very agile and can take a strong pack mark, but infortunately he's a dumb footballer. I'm not surprised Neeld doesn't rate him (if true) and Martin for Wellingham would be highway robbery, Melbourne would be signing that as soon as it left the printer.
 
possibly, but if neeld doesnt rate him why would the pies?

That is something I can't answer but I think they can Imrpove him and Feels a Need.

If he has only 1 year left on his Contract then we can give him a go for that Season then Decide if we want to ReNew it Afterwards

JFC Not sure if serious...Are you sure you're a Melbourne fan??? That's actually the most ridiculous suggestion yet thank god you're not in charge of our trading.

not taking a swipe at all here, but havent seen the pies develop a ruck type player for some time. not sure what they'd have up their sleeve that the dees wouldn't. i definitely think he has potential to grow as a player but not sure a different club is required to make that happen
 
Martin and pick 13? surely your taking the piss?

Did you see Friday's game? Wellingham stands up in finals, Martin can do a few things OK but doesn't excel at anything. He doesn't have a footy brain meaning he often gets caught with the ball and his disposal is suspect. I just don't think he is as good some Melbourne posters make out. If we didn't sign Jamar for 3 years (something which I think was a mistake) then I would keep Martin as first ruck option until hopefully Gawn/Fitzpatrick come on. Maybe adding pick 13 is overs but a straight swap would mean the Pies paying overs - maybe Martin and pick 26 for Wellingham then? Not sure the Pies would take that though, Wellingham is a pretty good player.
 
I rate Martin and a tall gap filler would be handy. That being said I don't think he is worth Wellingham. Maybe one of Blair, Sinclair, Fasolo (pushing it), Elliot and a second rounder as we seem to have an abundance of this kind of player.

If Cloke is to stay a pie you'd think one will get pushed out, and I'd assume Wellingham would be the one.

What is Wellingham likely to be on or asking 400k?

Pfft. If he was asking for that much then he is already gone. Wellingham is a decent footballer, and always looks like he could explode to the next level, but I am not sure his decision making or skills will ever allow him to get there.
I have a feeling a Stefan Martin-Sharrod Wellingham trade would be a trade where both sides supporters thought they were getting more than they actually were, while being nonplussed about losing a player with plenty of weaknesses.

I would take Ricky Petterd and Stefan Martin for Wellingham and our second rounder.

I'd do that trade.
 
Hilarious

In all seriousness though, I'm sure the Dees would much rather see Neeld go though than Martin

Actually, a Collingwood supporter suggested that trade.

And no, I'd rather Stef go than our coach..

But I want Stef to stay.
 
MFC has committed to Jamar for 3 years. Martin's not much chop as a forward. Yeah Collingwood need a ruck-forward in the short-term, but Jolly has maybe 1 year left, they need a ready-to-go #1 ruck more. Warnock or Martin are options. Martin for Wellingham in that context is a fair deal.
