what is really intersesting is what is said at the bottom of this article.

Melbourne states that they will probably hang onto their 2 early picks in the draft which officially puts them out of the race for stevens

Yesterday Melbourne were rumoured to be trading pick 5 to get stevens

I think Holland is gonna be a vital player for the Dees next year, which is a shame coz it was kinda funny watchin their skinny, runty, no good backmen and that hack, stepladder Nicholson try to hold Rock & Tazza on Queens birthday.

Melbourne did really well in this trade. Got to hand it too them.
It's no risk. He has one year left on his contract and Richmond pay half of it. Yeah sure he is overpaid and not as good as he was. But he is a decent mark, great kick for goal and can also play both ends which is an asset.

And I can't believe Richmond are now talking of trading Hall. Will they have any talls left if they do this as well?
