I don't spend a lot of time on here, but when I do like to read about interesting and insightful thoughts. All I've ever read from you if horse s**t. Petty is an integral part of the club going forward either as a KPD or a KPF.

Goodbye.

There’s a lot of horse shit that goes around this place these days unfortunately.

Lots.

I ****ing hate the fake ITKs on this board lol

So we're into McKay and Lynch now? That's alot of picks to give up

 

[danster168]

Am I correct in saying that our pick is now 13, because we finished 6th?

So 5, 13, 24 and 31

Great draft hand. Thanks GWS!

With Grundy, Harmes, Tomlinson and potentially more to net us a little more in terms of draft capital as well.

We (and everyone else) would be into plenty of players. We wouldn't be planning to get all of them but worth testing what the market is.

Mate if anyone was genuinely ITK they would have saw McAdam coming. Instead they just pick big key forwards and say we're trying to get them.

Draft board updated. Now have the third best hand in terms of points – that result might be the reason we end up with the GC pick if it eventuates

Draft premiership could still be ours.

This should be the new slogan of the Melbourne board.

Are we any chance at Gresham? Reckon he’d be a great fit.

How is it any different to trying to predict weekly selection without any knowledge of injuries, training standards, compliance with team rules etc etc. It’s all speculation off limited information, at best.

Not really sure your point here. Selection thread is clearly guesses and preferences. People claiming to know our trade intentions are just made up. Same with people who claim to have inside info it's all just attention seeking

 

[Dancing Potato]

Yes. Applied to a fatal, haemorrhaging wound.

 

[Devilsown]

Just saw Petty for mcadam on zero hanger Throw in Riley Thilthorpe and doodee into the deal and we'd consider it. Because petty for mcadam sounds just as stupid.

I think our main problem this off-season after finding a forward in replacing the hibberd role. He was an important part for us when up and going with his size and physical attributes

 

[Crusty Demon]

Think we would try for a pick upgrade. Harmes and 24 for pick 22 would be about right.

Might as well give him away for nothing.

A 3rd rounder would get it done. He's cooked

We didn't play with Hibberd most of the season and finished top 4. I love Hibbo, but McVee stepped up, Bowey stepped up, and Riv and Gus can play that role if needed. Salem floating around. A running defender would be handy, but maybe McVee could play that role. He's quick and uses the ball beautifully. Woey or Howes could possibly play a role as well maybe? I just think a pacey mid and a couple of forwards is what we need. Most likely a cheap back up ruck as well.

Can confirm from my sources inside the club

 

[Bluelegs]

Wow!

Would be a big gamble but could also be a huge payoff.

I’d rather see them tinker with our method than keep trying different players to execute the same plan - but if Tom Lynch got back into form then he is basically the prototype of what we need.

Imo if we got an actual capable key forward we would need to change the gameplan or they'd be next to useless anyway.

 

[Bluelegs]

On Lynch, if he came to us he'd have two years to run on a heavily back-loaded 7 year deal. He's coming off a major injury and is 30. Could easily see him being another Tmac/Brown situation.

I'd be cautious about spending a top 20 pick on him.

Indeed. So many people here banging on about recruiting key forwards miss the point entirely - our game style and the way we enter the forward line is rubbish and unless that changes it doesn't matter who is up there.

I actually would rather we recruit good ball users in the midfield than forwards.

Would be a mistake just like Grundy.

This board's trade ideas currently....

Trade Oliver so we can get high picks and rebuild.
Trade our first pick for Lynch because we're in the window and just need a key forward.

Does anyone on the board actually hold both of those views consecutively?
