Mega Thread 2013 TRADE PERIOD discussion thread - Aidan Riley (Crows) added as a DFA

[wowlace]

Wondering if Pick 2 would be worth trading for Sidebottom. Probably a long shot but has been down on form and inconsistent this season and pies would love a high draft pick too.

I would be happy with that. Love me some side bottoms.

On the back page of the Little paper sports section. Anthony Miles wants to come home to Vic from the GWS

Anyone know what he is like ?

I would not renew my membership nxt yr if Melbourne wasted any first/second round picks on the likes of S Selwood.

Really? The fact that we now have a CEO, President and recruiter that actually know how to do their jobs properly, and also a premiership coach known for building Strong Winning football cultures and you won't renew if we (In your opinion) waste the 1st or 2nd round picks on S.Selwood?

Hmmm, That is one REALLY interesting comment.

 

[jhong]

I will renew my membership because the cancer of "Playing for draft picks" is being removed from the club.
All i ask for in return , is a team that "gives a shit" .

With Roos coming in, how do you think we will honestly go this year?

I'll give my final predictions after the trade and the draft, but right now I'm hoping for a 12th position on the ladder finish, around there.

 

[something]

What about Mumford? Good ruck and is almost like having an extra mid out there at times on top of being a good age with experience.

 

[fushy]

We have plenty of rucks, if they are not midfielders I am not interested

I know he's only played 3 games this year, so he's probably not very good, i assume he's pre-empting being de-listed with saying he wants to leave etc.

I actually don't care where we finish next year, what I care about is pride being restored in the jumper and watching a game plan the players are slowly improving at each week.

I'm hoping to finish first.

I think we'll still be in the bottom three.

 

[CWaffles]

Are there still people that want Yarran? I didnt even realise he was playing today.

I just want to be able to go to games believing we are a legitimate chance to win. Okay, we may need a few things to go right, but today could be our day. It was demoralising going to the majority of games this year knowing we had not a hope in hell of winning.

 

[rhaz]

I'll say the same thing about Martin. Played an alright first half and did his lame handcuffs signal thing, then disappeared when they needed him most.

 

[RandB]

He also gave a fair bit of lip to the opposition when they were up, would have been better served just concentrating on the game.

 

[ThaiBarmats]

What about Mumford? Good ruck and is almost like having an extra mid out there at times on top of being a good age with experience.

Roo's was involved in drafting him to Sydney when he was coach. Hope he gives Mumford a call.
Champion data indicates there are 23 ruckmen running around currently better than any at MFC.
Think Mumford is ranked around 7 or 8. Get him Roo's.

 

[Cannon82]

Don't think he realised either. 8 touches, so he must've doubled his tally in the final quarter.

 

[CWaffles]

Yeah I agree. But Martin isn't going anywhere and never was, and to be fair he fits more of a role that we need filled than Yarran.

 

[Jaseon]

With Roos coming in, how do you think we will honestly go this year?

Would be more than happy with 5-6 wins and a competitive effort EVERY game.

No more 100 point blow outs please.

Hope we get over 38k members next year.

 

[CM Sean]

50k next year (i wish)

 

[God Save Max King]

Assuming you receive a PP, would David Armitage and Pick 21 be enough for Pick 2 (to become 3)? I think he would really help your midfield out, he provides a lot of grunt and he would assist Nathan Jones. If not (I don't think it will be enough), how about adding in another midfielder like a Farren Ray?

I really like Armitage, but I personally think we could get better for that. I'm hoping for Sloane, I hope we go HARD for Sloane.

 

[Deefolt]

Yeah whats with people wanting ruckmen...

 

[640MD]

I know he's only played 3 games this year, so he's probably not very good, i assume he's pre-empting being de-listed with saying he wants to leave etc.

He must be pretty young, undeveloped, maybe Sheedy did not like him, what was he like as an 18 year old and what pick was he, where did he come from, The report was reasonably positive....

 

[Big Trozza]

Keep hoping champ but I'm not sure how much more evidence you need to prove he's not leaving Adelaide. Winning the B&F was the cherry on the cake.

I agree, no idea why people think we are going to land Sloane...it's not happening, no way Adelaide give up their B&F

Let's be realistic as to who we can get.
