Unless we can get any of these guys in the PSD why would we waste any pick? Our track record with trades has been terrible at best and we are rebuilding so why would we want to top up?

I think apart from Vezsepremi, they're out of contract and a) not getting a game; or b) wanting to move back to their home state.

This doesn't leave their current team much bargaining power, we might be able to get them cheap or do a player for player trade.

With gold coast effectively having first pick on any uncontracted players the chances of getting any decent player in the PSD are slim
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Our current batch of recruits seem an inspired collection of educated choices from a much better team of recuiters. Would you prefer to give them licence to pick another group of youngsters, hopefully equally as capable, or trade away some of these picks who could turn out to be better than the traded player?

Hard decision as it means you have to use educated guesses. Drafting is more long term unless the traded players is around the 20 mark in age.

The whole McMahon/Thomspon/Hislop thing has me spooked  :-\

Given what we got from last years draft I would be happy to just dip into the draft pool again, for sure. Not too sure how my post gave an impression otherwise. All I was pointing out that we are unlikely to pull a quality existing player through the PSD

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,

Boak (PRT) - tick but Port would want a first rounder for him. Do they still want Jordie?  ;D

Trengove (PRT) - pass
Knights (ADL) - pass. A dodgy kick for mine.
M. Brown (WCE) - pass
Maric (MEL) - pass
Vezsepremi (SYD) - pass


Stick to the draft Dimma!  :thumbsup



Do you even watch footy?
Knights a Dodgy kick...... NFI
Trengove....... a second year player with a massive future
Maric...... as a good a ruckman as anyone at our club
M. Brown....... another very good kid that all teams in the AFL would love on ther list

Vezsepremi....... not sure but from all reports could be very good.
Knights at times can get plenty of the ball but IMO his kicking is too hit and miss. Reminds me of a smaller Jacko. As the Crows would want a first round pick in return for Knights then pass. There are better options in the National draft.

Addam Maric is a small forward 178cm, 77kg. We have more than enough of his type.
http://www.melbournefc.com.au/players/playerprofile/addammaric/tabid/8357/playerid/18361/category/senior/season/2010/selected/bio/default.aspx

I wouldn't touch either of the Brown brothers with a ten foot pole. Another who can't kick reliably.

Vezsepremi is a fringe player at the Swans. Sorry we've been down that pathway many times before overrating and drafting other clubs' retreds. He's also only 181cm tall (under 6ft) so again not the type we need. We shouldn't be recruiting anyone under 185cm this year IMO.

This isnt a rumour - just running this for the fun of it... Phil Davis from Adelaide is a star in the making that kid. He is developing into a player who could be the premier key position defender in the game over the next 10 years. Was cleaning up Pavlich before he was knocked out in the Sandilands incident and shows poise beyond his years. I would trade out all 3 of ours for this player in a heartbeat. When he comes out of contract every single club will be after him, he will stay in Adelaide because they will pay him top dollar to stay, he will be a top player.

I'm not sure if you read this forum very much but if there is one guy whose opinion is worth considering it's MT.
How much football do YOU watch?
One of the reasons i don't read this forum as much as i used to is because of boring flogs like you. If your not repeating yourself you are giving nothing worth reading.
So just so i know is there anyone else on this forum i cannot disagree with?
And for the record i played over 200 games of senior footy, help out Jade at Coburg when i retired (so i'm pretty sure he thought i knew my fair share about footy) and watch as much footy as i can.

For all that you allege to have played and coached football, very little is written that supports that experience.
You can disagree all you want but to write that the administrator of the site doesn't watch football is just insulting.

You obviously don't read this forum because if you did, it would be obvious - even to you - how ridiculous that comment looks to anyone who read it.

If you can't handle being called out when behaving like a ignorant troll then go and peddle your tirades somewhere else - after all its a free country!

I'm sure if MT felt insulted he would have said so. As for you chimming in on his behalf it just shows me what type of person you are. I think the best word for you would be jellyfish.
If you want people to like you just be yourself, not a little suck trying to be liked by the administrators. It's a forum for f@#ks sake, you can be anyone you want on here.
Why not just give the readers YOUR opinion on the players mentioned rather than try and be a hero.
Or is it you that doesn't know anything about footy?

I have enjoyed most of your posts but what the stuff is this crap.

Who died and put you in charge?

You say "you can be anyone you want on here" but then say "Why not just give the readers YOUR opinion".

How about you get a grip.

Yeah instead of insults why not stick to self inflating the ego

For example I will top Big Tones 200 senior games with I have played 250 senior games with one premiership

Was a #10 draft pick from memory so was always a decent change to be a top line player
No reason we can't draft someone of similar quality with future picks
