What’s your minimum for CCJ to be traded? Someone plonks it down on the table at 4pm on the last day of trade week and you say “DEAL”.

What is it?

And when do you think Ryan can replicate what CCJ is currently producing at AFL level?
So, the Black Hole Suns have put their first pick on the table for a key forward. Currently it's pick 3, could end up pick 2 - either way you're not getting either of the two best kids in the draft (Daicos and Horne).

Bobblehead Morris has declared that Melbourne wouldn't let Sam Weideman go for anything less than pick 3. That's Sam Weideman, who has 49 goals from 49 games in six years, averaging 8 disposals and 0.6 goals in five games this year. So it's conceivable on Bobblehead logic that we could ask for pick 3 for CJ, who is averaging 2.7 goals, 11.7 disposals, 4.7 marks (to Weidman's 3.2) and 2.7 contested marks (to Weed's 1.0) in three games.

But if CJ keeps those averages up for the rest of the year, I'd say we'd be pretty happy to keep him.

Seriously?!! No 1,2 and 3 priorities are to win in the AFL.

The VFL mids can have experience in mitigating the effects of a dominant oppo ruck.
Maybe Mate debuts and wins every hitout just by standing there.

Can't see Chol being dropped He is needed in ruck with CJ up forward and Sampson 2nd ruck along with some time forward.

Imagine a forward line with Tom and CJ near goals, Jack roaming. Then you have Nank and Chol in the ruck.

Follow this up next year with Tom and CJ forward, Jack roaming with Ivan and Nank in ruck. Then when Jack retires Sampson takes his place with some switching around as to who roams further up the ground - CJ can do this, hopefully Tom can if his knee is better and Sampson can too. Imagine trying to line up on that forward line with MRJ, Aarts, Castagna, Pickett, Shai and Dusty rotating in and out of the forward line.

Let's get this going for 2021 and we're a chance.

Think you are right about how they might combine essentially because Chol has done well and unlike in the past has been consistent.
In fact there are few rucks with ball in hand who look so competent.

The thing that amazes is that combining talls in our forward line is such a dramatic change in strategy.
Chol might be managed, but I hope not.
Got a ticket. Promises a treat.

The other thing is that we don’t have this number of rucks by accident. It clearly is part of a plan that there would be an excess and that the Club would profit.

The only way Melbourne will get Pick 3 for Wiederman is if they had Pick 4 and gave that with him.

Pick 3 for Pick 4 and weiderman you might consider. (only might though)

Bobblehead! Haha. The expert in all things football. Melbourne wouldn’t be able to agree to that deal quick enough if Gold Coast offered pick 3 for Weideman.
