Trades

[jivinivan]

Hi
Firstly, I just want to say that i'm new on these boards and I've been a Melbourne supporter for 17 of my 23 years on this earth.

Anyway, I've got a couple of ideas for trades for this year, just wondering what you think of them.

A. Nicholson for M.Braun (WCE).
or
C.Lamb and 3rd round draft pick for Dogs' number 19 pick.

P.Wheatley for D.Smith (Roos)

I think we should keep Luke Molan...I saw a couple of his Sandy games and he looked good as a leading forward. Strong lead and good mark.

Also, does anyone know anything about Chris Johnson, I heard we might take him under the father son rule.

Word is that Johnson will definitley be taken under the father son rule.

Welcome to the boards!

I like the way you are thinking about these trades, but the only deal I would realistically do would be the last one.

I don't think the club will trade Nicho. While he didn't play to many games, he led the club in defensive spoils for the season! And we would need to get more than Braun for him if it were to happen.

I agree that Lamb will go, but we will need that third round pick to draft Chris Johnson under the father son. Maybe we could trade our 4th rounder and Lamb for their second rounder?

Wheatley for Smith would be fair, as we need an in and under type midfielder - maybe Wheatley for Bartel?

Thanks for your comments cowboy,

I would say that nicho is our best tall defender, (not including the Bizz) but you've got to give something to get something and I rate Braun highly as he is very fit and hard working midfielder with pretty good disposal, and with Jakovich and McIntosh going or gone they could use a big defender.

Wheatley for Bartel sounds good.

As for needing our third round pick...i actually thought that we had to give away a second round pick...i hadn't realised that rule had changed (for the better i might add).

As for Chris Johnson, i was after his stats and what position he plays, and is he any good!
