Ok, we know Judd... forget him for a moment..

But with WestCoast gaingin Mitchell Morton for father/son pick (highly regarded, touted as top 5-10 pick), tyson steinglien going home, Fletcher, Cousins, Judd, Bulter, Waters all young... They have a huge excess supply.

Do u think we could work out a trade with the WestCoast. They have been fairly receptive to trading with Collingwood. Guys like Morrison, Rowan Jones, Wirrupanda, Braun, and IMO a great player Kerr could be available.

Kerr unsettled since his troubles with Cousins, and could be keen for a change. Any thoughts?? I think Kerr for 1st round + fringe might work.

I think a player like this, or salopek, etc.. young quality players you have leadership potential is who we should target

PS. I know everyone thinks we got dudded in the Williams trade, lets just ingnore that... Its been done to death

Adkins has done about the same for Wet Toast as Williams has for us. I don't see that we got dudded. It worked out even IMO, they are both clearly over rated players.

Wirra & Kerr are two that may be traded. It all comes back to what other clubs offer.

Adkins, Morrison and Braun are the best chances. We should target the latter two. They are both Victorian and enjoyed being coached by MM. I'd have a shot at Braun in particular. He is a talent.

If Kerr was available I would trade our first round pick to get him.

I watched the WCE a lot and he is their only real player (apart from judd) than can and does turn the tdie of the game.

He has speed, skill and courage to burn.

Braun can't stand the victorian winter and wishes to stay in summery conditions!

Braun attempted to move back to Melbourne in 2000, 2001 and 1999. I still think he would like to retutn.

Morrison and Braun were both in the same primary school class as my sister at Noble Park North Primary (now Carwatha College)...

Funny when u look at the class photo and see them both there... and now they play for WCE...

My Mum (worked part time at the school) always tells us the story about how Chad told his teacher he was going to play in the AFL (then VFL) and the teacher told him to be realistic... lol

Braun left, but Morrison finished year 12 at Carwatha and i can remember when he was drafted (i was in year 8). Glenn Archer also went to the same school but that was years before i went there...

Morrisons family are big time Collingwood supporters.

And that is my unimportant post for the day! :)

Big time Magpie supporters...then it will be easier to get him. We should have a word with him.
