draft - shake up

[chook23]

Melbourne can pick Viney with pick 26

changes their options at pick 3-4

maybe a tall in there now for Melb?

Straight off the Farcebook Page draft/trade feed:

BIG news for Melbourne fans. The dees are set to send Pick 13 to the Gold Coast suns in return for Josh Caddy.

Apparently, a deal has been spoken of between the dees and the suns, that the suns wouldn't bid for Viney, and that instead Melbourne will give them pick 13 for Caddy.

Fair deal? Or trade tampering?

Regardless, it's a super outcome for Melbourne.

[Animal Enclosure]

I think it's more likely going to be pick 4 to GC.

[Stillwaiting]

Not far of draft tampering but good on Melbourne, good for them

[chook23]

Another gun to GC

Used pick 2 to snare Jack Martin from 17 year old mini draft.

How is it draft tampering? They traded something for something else. That's not exactly "tampering" unless you use some weird AFL definition.

According to TWR Caddy doesn't want to go to Dees

According to TWR Caddy doesn't want to go to Dees

Hardly surprising

[paddy]

seems unlikely that the dees would get caddy with 13, when we would probably be offering pick 12 (or thirteen for goddard)

I would say they have organised to use pick 4 for caddy.....

Well there's also talk of them trading pick 3 to GWS for the minidraft pick for a gun 17 year old. They trade out their pick 4 and they have nothing until 13 or 14 (although they would have a gun 17yo and Caddy to show for it).

did they just say monfires on a 4 year deal to port for pick 48??

Pretty sure that was it.

Essendon win that for sure!

LOL
u reckon

id say port are the winners out of that
pick 48 is nothing to give away for a half decent player

bummers just sucked it up and let him go

yup - the fallout from the monstorous $750k a year paid to Goddard begins.

It's a smart move - possibly more than Bumbers would have got in free agency for him, and it means Port don't dilute their free agency compo......

[HSVKing]

We are talking about the same player right?

Atleast Port can move one of those seat covers into the forward pocket, soap it up a little and he'll feel right at home.

[paddy]

bombers would have gotten nothing in FA for him, because they got goddard who is much more highly rated than gussy....

hence, a win for the bombers because they could have got nothing, now at least they have something to trade with another player they will need to get rid of, and might get something even better....

I must admit I am enjoying watching them lose people to pay for bj.... soothes the heartache

[matrix]

exactly
port win so they lose nothing in fa compo picks
they also get a half decent player
i mean he isnt shite but he's not a gun

smart by port

also bumbers lose nothing either (with the bj deal) and gain 48

smart
not sure what a slippery slide mat has to do with anything

"To his credit, Angus Monfries came out and admitted he took a dive on a number of occasions this season in an article in today’s Herald Sun."

Why would GC Suns just hand all of this to Melbourne on a platter when they can get a similar pick for Caddy elsewhere and get Viney as well?
Are the Suns a charity? Doesnt add up. in any case if the Saints dont end up with 13 Im going feral.

Because the Suns wanted to send their first pick to GWS for one of the 17yo pre-listed guns they have to trade away. That's the suns first round pick so they will trade Caddy away for another first rounder somwhere.
Melb get the other 17yo for their pick 3 , plus they get Viney, for 26. I figure the deal is that Melb and GC have agreed not to stuff each others trades up for the guys that want out at both clubs (Hickey, Caddy, Moloney, etc). they both get a gun 17yo, and both still end up with first rounders.

[matrix]

barratt just said it again

melb have picks 3, 4 and 13

[dragit]

Cats still most likely to get caddy according to AFl.com

[borderbarry]

Melbourne have always had picks 3, 4, 13, and 26 etc. Hardly news.
