AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
If we end up with pick 5 or 6, it wont be nearly as easy to trade out for a player, and still stay in the first round.
If we hold a pick around the 4 to 6 mark, I'm sure Melbourne would have to entertain the idea of trading our pick for an established player, or perhaps once again from the expansion club talent pool.
Hypothetically:
Melbourne trades - First round draft pick
GWS trade - Jono O’Rourke (former pick number two who's put off contract negotiations) & their end of first round compensation pick (#20)
Yes in principle, no to O'Rourke though (especially pushing our pick back to No.20). For Dylan Shiel though…. definitely
Was mentioned in another thread that he had put talks on hold with GWS and was looking at his options. We'd definitely have to make a play for him, but he won't come cheaply. Our first pick alone wouldn't cut it; we'd have to throw in a good player on top of that and then you'd have to debate whether we'd be robbing Peter to pay Paul. We might not have the currency for a trade.Heard on the TV this morning that Jeremy Cameron has turned Down a big contract from GWS - We need to do everything we can to get him I reckon. A good replacement for Mitch.

I was wondering how long that would take.First round pick and Jack watts
As stupid as this may sound - I wouldn't trade Watts yet. He's starting to show he can play again. I'd just give them first and maybe 2nd rounder - maybe throw someone like strauss at them as a "sweetner". (not sure how much sweetness Strauss offers though)I was wondering how long that would take.
Given their probably looking for backline rather than forwards, Howe?
For the record, I don't want to trade Howe.

I agree midfielders should be a priority but Cameron is on a whole new level, you know what your getting, a star forward for the next 10 year, he will be a top 10 player of the comp for most of his career, you aren't going to find a midfielder to trade in or draft that has the guarantees that Cameron has, we have later picks to work on the midfield.I think making a big play for Cameron is a little counter productive... would rather more midfielders.

So you guys think go for Dangerfield over Cameron?
I'm all for Danger, but I don't think he'll leave Adelaide. He's settled there, owns a house, loves getting out having a fish in his boat, and Adelaide Love him. If we can overcome all that with a great deal, then SWEET!!!!If I had to throw a bag of cash at one then yes Dangerfield
Look at Geelong, 1 Tom Hawkins is enough ( Hogan ) But imagine Viney, Tyson, Jones and Danger
Apparently Ahmed Saad is eligible for the draft this year and his ASADA ban will expire by round 1 of the 2015 season.
Personally, i thought he was alright but i don't think melbourne should draft him.
