Club Focus Melbourne 2024

Data from footywire. To check the draft order see the thread here.

Footywire says: "While we make every effort to keep up to date with player contracts, it is likely that our data may at times be out of date, incomplete or inaccurate. If you find any player contracts that need updating, please let us know using our brand new contract submission form."

If St Kilda get pick 8 for Battle, then.....

Melborne give pick 5 and Petracca to St Kilda for picks 7 and 8 and King to Melbourne.

A swap of later picks to be determined.

Why wouldn’t we just do Trac for pick 7 and King?

Good thinking. Why give up pick 5 for pick 8

 

[whatwhatsaywhat]

king has no second efforts and has one core strength - he's tall

no thanks

i think we'll keep our top 5 / 6 pick, get the pick we wasted on mcadam back for anb (sob!), and use late picks to pick up two nga kids (riak andrew, ricky mentha) and one father-son (noah yze)

i think we can kiss our 2025 first round pick goodbye cos we won't want to hold it - not with a highly ranked nga (tairon ah-mu) and father-son (kalani white) coming thru in the 2025 draft

in the last game of the year we had the following unavailable for selection:

• may
• petracca
• windsor
• lever
• spargo
• brayshaw
• hunter
• oliver
• smith
• sparrow
• ben brown

four of those are likely to be off the list, and two more - at least - could go too

it's an open bid on trac, which is very sad, but if he doesn't see himself as part of our future, so be it; we'll get value for his departure

i'd be open to trading:

• petracca
• laurie
• bowey
• fritsch
• sparrow
• woewodin

i think three of those have value, both incoming and outgoing, and two are depth for us and would be the same for other teams too; there's no real incentive for anyone to target laurie, sparrow, or woewodin as they're fairly meat n potatoes, or just potatoes if yr being cruel

retired:

• brayshaw
• ben brown

i'd delist:

• hunter
• schache
• tomlinson (or he leaves as a free agent)
• smith
• kyah farris-white

that's seven players off the list + rookie list, and at least one - neal-bullen - certain to be traded for, probably, a second round pick (incredible value for him imo), so eight changes already

we've got pick 5/6, that 2nd rounder for nibbs, a bunch of middling 2nd / 3rd round picks that we already hold (about three in total) plus later selections

possible automatic ins as late picks / rookie listings:

• riak andrew
• ricky mentha
• noah yze

i really hope we target some midfielders who can move with a bit of pace and use the ball by foot; harvey langford would seem ideal reading the scouting reports for pick 5, but i'm not sure if he will last that long?

houston would be perfect, but that seems doa...

i'm disappointed we're not in the coversations for any of the gw$ or gc17 wantaway players like cumming, peatling, lukosious, although apparently we were keen on angwin...that seems to have gone quiet

going to be a busy off-season that's for sure

Couldn’t imagine Petracca wanting the saints …

 

[MartinPrince]

who does everyone think the dees should get at pick 5?

 

[buttox]

who does everyone think the dees should get at pick 5?

To me it feels like a clear top 3
Jagar
Fos
Draper

I'd guess smilie or Langford

Surely the club has to sack Goodwin, Richardson and Pert. They are driving this shit show.

Then they have to come out and say no contracted players will be traded.

All unrestricted players out the door. Cam Bruce as coach, Simpson head of football Graham Wright ceo
