Lets face reality people .. after ASADA wiping out Essendon*

Trade period/the draft is all we have left for 2014
I am waiting for the Menz's Rising Star nomination. Gonna happen soon as Cunningham got his for his performance over the season to date and the fact that he is a nice kid...

Menz certainly isn't going to get it on the back of any of his recent performances. Kid needs a break.

I remember people at the time bagged watts as a number 1 pick..

True about Fraser I think though
etsal1 would be all over Boyd if he was in this draft. I hope this is a troll. She's been banging the KPP drum like our first pick is locked into a F/S pick like Darcy Moore, Joe Daniher, Tom Hawkins and SOS. o_O

Kreuzer and Walker get it done ???
Why does everyone want to give away one of the few guys who bleeds for the jumper... and I dont just mean literally. You always know that when Kreuzer walks out for us, he will give 100% and leave nothing out there.

I think that with the new Gibbs and Kreuzer out there, and with the other guys coming in how bleed blue for us, we will be a lot better off.

However... if we were to trade Kreuzer for a GWS tall... it would have to be for someone exceptional.

Please don't get excited by this (i know it will be a hard not too), but the club is doing everything possible to get a young GUN KPP from GWS. Can't say who the player is or what we are offering yet, but there is a small possibility that it may actually happen.

I am a tad wary of the returning midfielders to Victoria from the GWS & GC teams. IMO neither Josh Caddy or Taylor Adams have got close to the hype that surrounded them when they said they wanted to come back to Vic and even Dom Tyson has a lot to prove before justifying giving up Josh Kelly for.
What?

It is laughable to insinuate that Melbourne would be regretting effectively trading Kelly for Tyson and Salem.

Tyson has shown more thus far at senior level than Kelly, and Salem looks a very likely type who could well develop into a jet in his own right.

I guess we should write off a 21 year old Caddy who has suffered a few injuries since joining Geelong. Or we could watch him play and acknowledge he's an outstanding young player who will almost certainly be a 10+ year player.

Adams has shown from day 1 that he is comfortable at AFL level having played some wonderful football for GWS over the first two seasons of his career. He hasn't managed to replicate those performances thus far at Collingwood but that's no surprise considering they've trialed him in a few different positions. He's behind Luke Ball as an inside midfielder but he'll step into that role once Ball retires over the next year or so and be an outstanding ready made replacement.

I guess it's easier to stick the boots into players who are 21 and 20 years old respectively than look at the facts as they present themselves.

Some of these kids are outstanding talents and that doesn't change if they aren't getting regular games at GWS or GC. Both clubs have been handed enormous concessions to ensure their success and it was always going to be the case that talented players were going to miss out or be pushed out and redistributed across the competition.

We'd be idiots to be 'wary' because a 20 year old and a 21 year old are yet to hit their straps.

What's with the scornful attitude? Not sure anything he said comes even close to 'sticking the boots in' re: young players.
