Off-season and Trade discussion thread

[Bill Manspeaker]

McCartin or Lever would be win-win for Melbourne. The massive win for them is Brayshaw. Just hope the development team don't turn him into a flop like they have with so many players with potential.

Yeah, this is the way I see it. Regardless of who they pick, they'll be fine.

I'd hope so, I really like Brayshaw. Guttered we can't have him, McCartin and Petracca :P I'd love to have all 3. haha.

all other teams should do us a solid and let us take them. greedy barbies. give them to us

SO we can win every flag from 2018-2028. 10 Flags should  get us up to par with most of the other teams!

Well, that solves the Pick 40 problem, now we can use it!

Sorry Dom, but can't say I'm disappointed we lost you.

[SydneyRox]

Seems to be the consensus. Along with "why did we dump Blease?"

[Big Mac]

Well that was unexpected  :o
I actually did see some potential in him - Think it was in the Hawks game where he really showed his pace/skill while still playing defensively. There was a fair bit to work with I think.

"why did we dump Blease?"

Who's saying that?

[Purple 77]

Yeah, not at all unhappy that we got rid of blease personally. He came across as a guy that wanted to do things his way, and not at all willing to work defensively. I will agree he has talent and looks dangerous on the offensive... but that attitude isn't what we need. I remember hearing Hogan in his only VFL game this year going off at Blease during the game for not chasing to tackle.

From the club

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/melbourne/news/2014-11-13/melbourne-delists-evans

MELBOURNE Football Club wishes to advise that Michael Evans has been delisted from the senior list ahead of the AFL's second list lodgment deadline today at 2pm.

Evans has one year remaining on his current contract and will now take some time to consider his career options. If Evans does nominate for the national draft, the Club will give due consideration to a Rookie List position for him.

[Purple 77]

Yeah, I think he has had his opportunities. Albeit injuries didn't help him.

[Big Mac]

Thought we might've rookie listed him - might do that with Tapscott?

I hope we do with Tapscott; he's showed what he can do at times. I remember his bump on a port adelaide player this year (think Robbie Gray?), which is just a glimpse of the toughness he can bring. I can remember him usually doing stuff like that when he is playing, which is awesome really haha. Has also got a good kick on him, but injuries and the poor development program is what I'm blaming for his situation now. I reckon he could do a Nev Jetta and bounce back bigger (if that is even possible) and better.

[Nige]

New away and clash guernseys for Melbourne in 2015.

I actually really like them.
