Trade Talk

2 days to go and as usual the big trades mentioned prior to the trade period beginning are going to come down to not only the last da but in some cases poosibly the last minute.
So far we have seen the following trades:
Goal sneak Eddie Betts to Carlton, Adelaide gets a Future Fourth Round Selection, so basically zero.
West Coast do a pick swap with the Lions they receive pick 46 and 91 and the Lions get picks 52 & 64 why who the hell knows.
Midfielder Ed Langdon and Pick 26 and a future fourth round selection to Melbourne and Fremantle get picks 22 & 79 and a future second rounded. These future late picks always intrigue me can't figure them out.
Pacy Full Back Sam Frost picks 42 & 61 and a future fourth round and Melbourne get picks 50 and a future second rounder wow seems to be a lot of messing about.
Another set of pick swaps GWS get picks 6 & 59 and St.Kilda get picks 12 & 18 now these pick swaps DO make sense to me a high first rounder (6) and the saints get to top 20 in return wins all round very astute.
Now the first and the most complicated move since a high ranking Soviet official wanted to defect to the West with West Coast receiving Tim Kelly and a future thrid rounder from Geelong and pick 52 from Essendon, Geelong getting 14 & 24 and a future first round selection from the Eagles and pick 37 from Essendon and Essendon gets pick 33 from the Eagles and pick 57 from the Cats talk about complicated.
Well that's it for now but the last 2 days will see plenty more and hopefully the Joe Daniher to the Swans doesn't get done but if it does if we could get Luke Parker or Isaac Heeney I could live with that (somehow...).

Melbourne Takes Down Lacklustre Suns

Take that Gold Coast Melbourne has put other team's on notice with a stunning first round win over supposed top 8 contenders Gold Coast.
Melbourne had them covered all day and everytime the Suns made a charge the Dees kicked away, and talk about promising signs, Garlett 20 pos and 2.4 goals, Hogan, Vandenberg, Newton, Brayshaw just to name a few where as the Suns really lacked bite, could be in line for a Rodney Eade rocket serve after the game I thinking, seemed pretty inept, round 1 should be no excuse for lacklustre effort, Ablett just 19 posies and 2 goals.
The big thing is after averaging just 8.6 goals per game last year they have slotted through their highest score since round 4 2013.
