Is it wrong that I forgot the Grand Final was on but am excited for Trade Week(s)?

I'm in the same boat every year too....... unless we're in the GF

It makes sense that Kennedy would be looking for greater opportunity elsewhere so no hard feelings if he wants to explore his options.

Might be part of the deal for Howe.

I'm happy trading out two fringe players to get one who should be in our top 5. I still want Aish but I'll be ok with just Treloar.

Kennedy has plenty of heart and can definitely get the pill, but his decision-making and ball use are not quite up to AFL standard. I wish him well if he goes to the Dees, and hope we get some value trade wise for him.

I don't think there's much point in hindsight here. Sure, Kennedy's the one that looks as if he might not work out, but it could have been Broomhead or Grundy. It doesn't much matter which player was taken with the Wellingham pick and which with the Dawes, having the three picks together was the important thing. Quantity of picks is the main key to success, allowing you to ameliorate against failures. So even though Wellingham has always been one of my favourite players, agreeing to move him on when he wanted out was the right move and pick 17 in compensation was a good outcome and remains so.

Anyone who can get a verb like "ameliorate" into a post on Nick's deserves to be "agreed with"!

Josh Mahoney was interviewed on trade radio today and said that Melbourne had already met with Ben Kennedy and that discussions about a trade were progressing. Mahoney said Ben considers a move may be the best chance for him to get a regular senior gig.
So Melbourne offers what for a former first round pick? 2nd round or a player?

Pardon me! I looked down the page and couldn't see any Kennedy to Melbourne threads. But the question remains. What's the best deal we could reasonably hope to get for Ben?

We won't get their second rounder IMO, maybe a swap of second rounders would get it done, he doesn't have much value.

I'm in the right place now. Josh Mahoney spoke on Trade Radio today and said that Melbourne had already had talks with Ben. Looks like they will pursue him, so what's the best reasonable outcome? Aish looks likely to stay at Brisbane so I'm hoping we try to get a few "Crisp/Greenwood" type deals done for Freeman, Seeds and BenKen.

Our best bet would be to package Seeds and BK up for the Dees second rounder IMO.
