List Mgmt. 2020: Death Riding Melbourne [NMFC owns MFC's 1st (#9) & 4th (#64) 2020 picks] - Keep Your Eye on the Red and the Blue

[giantroo]

Thanks for that Giantroo......further to that,.....does that mean they go down a pick or two....apologies I've taken no notice of the points system....

Yes.

Each pick has a points value. Pick 1 (3000), etc . For Pick 1 you must have the full allocation of points (3000) to keep the pick even though you may have enough to cover pick 2 (2,517).

From there, you just minus the point deficit (265) and you get the table I've posted.

Classic Demons victim mentality.

Ben was one of the most beloved players of the last decade for North fans, if not number one.

How dare another club pick up a beloved player that was tossed out on the curb like a Maccas wrapper.

 

[shintemaster]

On personal level I hope Brown gets going and plays a good career at Melbourne. At a club level I hope he kicks 1 goal for every 10 behinds for the rest of his career.

If only I could be tossed out on the curb having turned down 750k pa for 3 years

James McDonald says hi btw

 

[ChoppyGun]

One is 28 with a bung knee and the other is 22 with his career ahead of him.

One has performed at elite level, one was unwanted.

Let's see who wins first mate but yes I don't disagree in why we did it. (despite my bias)

He wasn't tossed out by those posters. There are still people that complain North delisted Boomer, there's no reason not to think Brown's fans (of which there were many) are sincere.

i still think we should have just kept our first pick that year in reference to this thread- take serong or even flanders and have a year of development into them

the only way i feel we would have come up with a great outcome was if dees finished bottom 6

People are pretty excited about Perez and Powell but if I was able to choose Serong after the fact instead I would.

Not sure about Flanders, not so much him but we have plenty half forward who can roll through the middle.

Every chance that Powell ends up better then those 2 + we got Comben, Mahoney & Perez in 2019.

Applying hindsight to pick swaps in isolation is silly this early imo. There’s also every chance we wouldn’t have even taken those 2 with pick 8 last year if we kept it.

I would like some confirmation of this claim please, as I've seen it said a few times on this board. Is there proper proof that Ben turned down a three year deal?

Firrito deserved another year.

We missed him badly down back.

Boomer maybe.

Petrie cooked and the scared St Kilda guy who cares

In a sliding doors world we might be looking back at the failed pick swap trade thinking enviously gee, Powell is a good get for Melbourne but hoping for the best for Serong's second game in 2021. We just don't know, Serong had a dream run with Freo last year in a spot with little competition and we were far from the best incubation club last year. Or he would have won matches off his own boot, who knows. Circumstance is circumstance.

I'm not reopening the wounds of the people that disagreed, just making a point people can still love a player that isn't on our list.

Yes. I can't give you recordings etc but it happened.

Well you have for me.

I miss Spud. Loved him.

They were both unwanted for differing reasons.

 

[Snake_Baker]

These trade war threads are ridiculous.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Yeah fair point.

But mate you'd agree (maybe I'm biased) to say a massive win for us on......what?

Major hypocrite, that one.

Yep and a top 10 pick, RS winner to boot. Past two years haven't been great but there are solid reasons for that.

His 2019 was pretty reasonable until he got done for gambling.

We should never have got rid of David Dench, he could probably still hold down full back instead of recruiting Corr.

Off field issues

 

[Passmore]

Firrito could have easily played on (as could thompson) but he was right to be moved on. We had youth that needed game time. Unfortunately for us they all decided to pick up long term injuried one after the other.

Boomer on the other hand. We had barely any pace, zero creativity, minimal threat inside 50, and had nothing but hail mary kicks inside 50. I'm over it but i would have bet the house on him kicking 40+ as a small forward for 2 more years. He prob still could.

Are you really over it?

Do you want the lotto numbers before the draw as well.

Bit hard to do that from the clink though.....
