Trading a top pick for Houston is fine if the team is on the way up, but our team is on the decline. We've seen it all before with teams desperately trying to stay up the top, it inevitably ends up in more pain. (Geelong are an exception). It's pretty obvious that the team needs to go into rebuild mode, not full on 07-13 style but start to bring in and play some youth.
No risk no reward

What round was he tagged and by who? Keen to look up his stats for said round.

It doesn't get more DEMON SPIRIT than doing things that feels a bit silly

Remember when Richmond thought they could top up with Taranto and Hopper and now they look a decade away from a flag.
.yeah let's get Houston see what happens.
Their 25 and unders are as good as ours

We have far too many holes to fill to trade our first for anyone. I think we need 2 years of hitting the draft and then another year after that lost to development before we are serious again.
Unfortunate but it is where we are at.

There have been a lot of dumb ideas being floated around about what to do in the off season. But the stupidest I've heard so far is Damian Barrett suggesting that Melbourne should target Taylor Walker to fix our forward line

What a genius move that would have been, before the injury Hawkins looked cooked. Don't think he kicked a goal for a 4 week patch.
Waiting for you to respond about what rounds Houston got tagged. Nice subject change.
Why would any teams send there best tagger to Houston when you got Butter, Rozee and Horne Francis running around.
Look at Bulldogs with Brambles or Geelong with Humphries, can pick up decent defenders a lot easier on the cheap than mids.
Didnāt see any round mentioned and details on who tagged him, just more spitballing.

Digging into the why
Until this draft where they will have 5 first rounders. Then thereās will shit all over ours.
Would take Hawkins 15 goals this season over Pettys 6ā¦or Kentfields/Fullerton/Schacheās 0
Donāt let the facts get in the way though

Paying someone ~750k a year for 15 goals and 2 more years to come. Nearly half of them came in one game against Essendon. Just brilliant cap management. Put him in washed up forwards stable with Brown and TMac.

15 goals @ $1m = $66,666 per goal.

You are aware he has significant forwardcraft experience and could also double as a goal kicking / forwards coach over the next few years right?
Whoever mentioned 750k btw, I donāt recall any dollar figure mentioned.
Rather him on the list than Kentfield or Shcache or Fullerton, begs belief if you think they will add more value but anyway.
If I could clone an AFL player to help Melbourne's needs going forward. It would be this fella.
A real crash/bash follower who sorted them out; whether against much bigger rucks, or flying through packs up forward, with an Iron will and vice hands.
The ideal 2nd fiddle to a Max Gawn.
