Talk about poor trade ideas, this one was floated yesterday:

Melbournes pick #2 & #3 to Brisbane for #4 & Merrett.
Fair to argue that has Merrett rated as a #1 selection. :eek: ................Silly season indeed.

some people have gone nuts here, we need depth badly and picking up Tutt and Jones would be great. Just because a player spends time in the VFL doesn't mean it is his fault all the time. Maybe the coaching isn't that crash hot either.

we don't need stars just good solid footballers with a bit of upside and we will fly up the ladder

Last year we didn't do anything for the sake of depth with the exception of rookie-ing Wood but even there, I would consider it more of a need given our lack of ruck stocks.

Given we may just move on up to 12 players this year some holes will need to be filled.
Jones is worthy of chance if he's cheap enough as he does potentially fit a need and the same may be said for Tutt, given his pace.
We just don't want to take too many chances with those that have already had plenty of chances.

Some of the trades beings suggested are Hilarious.

JOR and Jaksch and pick 3 for pick 1 is all over the saints board, ARE THEY SERIOUS!!!????
Well, GWS don't have a need for any more tall forwards in Wright & McCartin so who knows.

Given they were so spoiled from day 1, nothing would surprise and another Pick #1 may be just what they want, to be seen to be relevant.

Surely a pick 2, a pick 12 and pick 3 for pick 1 is in no way fair.

I actually like what im seeing atm...i see it as similar moneyball trades like everitt and docherty last year.

Jones and tutt will come cheap and fill needs...key forward and small forward.

Melksham is certainly better than what i expected t get for garlett...cmon guuys melksham has shown some abiloty at afl level and again adds to the midfield roatations, decent talent...much better than a shit third rounder.

Lets say jones, tutt and melksham for third rounder, fourth rounder amd garlett. Thats a win imo
What role do we see melksham playing though? I have no idea!

What's worse about this is suggesting we won't big on Moore because we need to keep #6 free for Jaksch. Seriously, we'd take Moore over Jaksch all day long if the option was there. I'd be bidding, not relying on the Dogs. At best we get a highly rated young KPP. At worst we ensure the Pies don't get him for a song. If they call our bluff, then we try to get Jaksch for a second rounder, or try to offload Waite compo, Robbo and Jeffy picks for a higher pick and package them up for a late first rounder.

Absolutely agree that we should be bidding for Moore. Make Collingwood cough up. He'll be a quality player young Moore.

Personally really don't want Tutt and Jones. They are the exact type of players Bulldogs need and couldn't get a game there. also with so many well paid players coming off the books next year I would much preferr the club to save an extra 250k plus that would be spent on Jones and Tutt and use it to go after a big name or two next year
(Hopefully I'm as wrong about them as I was with Everitt last year)
