How Dow is cutting up both Lalor and Smilie during the pre-season

 

[Mr Magic]

So you think that we can get picks 5 and 9 this year for a F1 but North couldn't even get pick 13 with their F1?

finishing last is worth more next year

There will be endless discussions about how the players we didn't pick will be better than those that we did pick, just like every other year.

Kozi, Sonsie, Hopper.... the usual....

And what makes you think that we'll finish last? If we are relatively injury free, especially with Lynch, and other bottom dwellers such as Norf, Essendon, West Coast get a couple of injuries like we did last year we could easily finish outside the bottom 4. If you were the Melbourne list manager would you give up 2 early picks in a very strong draft in the hope that you get 1 high pick next year?

About how bad our injuries are and how we wish that we had Louie back.

who gives a toss.

we are in the business of winning premierships

it is all about the kids and the development before we start another run

Melbourne should be focussed on winning premierships to meaning how do they get around beating Brisbane, CFC, Gold Coast and others over the journey?

yeah if I was list manager for Melbourne i would knowing Trac and Oliver could be traded down the track despite them saying otherwise. Melbourne also need to look at their next run

Dusty has left, newsflash, RFC can't sell RFC to win premiership in 2025. RFC needs to sell RFC wins premiership in 2029 or before and the kids are the driver to get there

How FOS is a dud.

 

[_RT_]

I wonder how much the change in points value for 2025 will impact the trading of future picks for slight upgrades in position in this years draft?

 

[Finn9]

At this point I don't want to know who we take at pick 1 until we call it out on the night to be honest.
Any info now would just be a spoiler.

If it came out a week or more ago, different story.
I'm heavily considering avoiding this thread from tomorrow.

When the Sixers in the NBA used to be picking in the top 10 I would turn my phone off day of the draft and watch it spoiler free. Love it. Just don’t think I can with the Tiges

Not sure that you're thinking this through Magic!!!

If Melbourne are thinking Premierships now then they should be taking their 2 draft picks now while Gawn, May, Oliver and Trac still have something left.

We have plenty of draft picks this year so thinking of the future we should take lots this year and get as many good one's next year as well. We are better off trading a couple of later picks into next year as we have a few years to cultivate our next Premiership team.

Very confusing reply, but not a surprising one.

[Groupie_]

we should call every kid in the top 100 and tell them we're taking them

If what you say is true why would Geelong players at a party before the end the trade week say Oliver is coming to Geelong ,with AFL players from other clubs in attendance, according to one of my informants?

On top of that Trac, it was reported was not happy with club direction. Now given the rise of Brisbane with Ashcroft's blooming not to mention Wilmot etc.. and others, how does Melbourne win a premiership in 2025 with a few leaving albeit them picking up a good winger recently?? Alex Neale Bullen, James Harmes, James Jordan all good, not superstars but handy depth. Add to that Luke Jackson, Toby Bedford and Jayden Hunt from their premiership squad at a time they where more prepped versus the opposition they faced which have now only improved. Even if Melbourne rise again, very difficult to do it straight away virtually on the run, particularly to win the lot against opposition squads more prepped for the now and improving

If were tossing up between FOS and Lalor pick 1, there's not a chance we pass him up at 6/7.

But I do want Smillie too.

2- Ashcroft (Bris)*
3- Draper (Adel)
4- Jagga (Carl)
5- Tauru (Norf)
6- Langford (Dees)
7- FOS (Rich)
8- Lombard (GCS)*
9- Reid (Saints)
10- Lindsay (Saints)
11- Armstrong (Dees)
12- Smillie (Rich)
13- J Whitlock (Rich)
14- Kako (Ess)*
15- Allen (WCE)
16- Travaglia (Port)
17- Berry (Freo)
18- Hotton (GWS)
19- Shanahan (GWS)
20- Hannaford (Dogs)
21- M Whitlock (Rich)
22- Trainor (Syd)
23- Dattoli (Rich)

I just can't see Smillie lasting to 12.

 

[Danog]

I just can't see Smillie lasting to 12.

If he gets to Saints 2nd pick, I think we'd be calling them up to trade.

8 and F2 for 11 and 20.

 

[BAFLD]

Given we set ourselves for this draft trading into it last year, I can’t see us trading too much out. Maybe only 24

 

[BAFLD]

Also Young’s elevation from the Rookie list doesn’t chew up a draft pick anymore just a list spot so we still have 8 picks. 1,6,10,11,18,20,23,24

We have 8 picks. We can only use 6. We will be trading out at least 2.

It chews up a list spot.... that's what deletes the pick.

 

[Finn9]

Saints would take Smillie, without a doubt. They're not in a position to be doing anything but drafting the best available. Doesn't matter if their midfield is slow or that they've got Steele/Windhager/Philipou.
