    Interesting offer for sure, but in 12 months time I'm sure I'd regret taking it..
    It's possible I'm being too demanding but Yeo is clearly a long term player inside anyone's best 22.

    No probs, I take that as a reserve not met.

    Yeah definitely a risk/reward venture.
    Many see Big Boy as the R1 lock but I really don't think the crown fits all that snug.
    Cegs did more than his fair share of the ruck work when teamed with Hale or McEvoy last year and I see that continuing with Hale gone. The Roughy injury will be interesting for the Hawks structure. I reckon they will need McEvoy to kick his 1-2 goals per game to be able to hold their own.

    I agree my concern is that if he keeps ruck only status next year I am locked into playing him there and Ryder as a fwd, assuming he retains fwd status, the assumptions make me wary.. McEvoy is a more genuine RF for mine

    Bidding Scott Selwood for Roberton.
    Scooter has the history of a 100+ scorer (when not injured). Surgery in off-season. On track for round 1.

    I looked and genuinely thought Yeo was a mid (or at least a M/D) this year - and was going to bid. Alas, only a defender which is a bit baffling and probably precludes me from bidding at the moment.

    Wish I could join the party Len but I can't help.

    I'm interested to know why that's a negative, unless you are short in mids?

    Venus Bay Vultures stick Liam Picken up for auction, breaking into a new role last year Picken averaged 99.

    Looking for defenders preferably but will also consider forwards.

    Auction ends Monday the 8th at 11PM

    Venus Bay also put up a package of picks #12 and #18 in the upcoming PSD draft.
    I find these picks hard to value numerically with an average, so can't give an exact reserve but will just consider what comes, but like with Picken, am after preferably a defender, or a forward, however pending on quality other positions will be considered.
    A pair of picks in return may be considered however I find that unlikely...

    HI Len,
    I will trade you Leuenberger for Yeo if you want?

    Hmm, OK, now that might make a difference after all.

    I'll have to think and see.

    Hey mate, don't mind him but he's getting a bit old and probably just not good enough for both picks, so not quite, thanks though :thumbsu:

    Thanks mate but doesn't quite do enough for me...I'd want to be confident in Selwood getting back up to the 95+ mark and with the surgery and moving clubs, I'm not certain on how he'll go this year.

    I'll bid PSD Pick #20, GC defender Steven May (still only 24, 18 games in 2015 at an average of 74.2) and Darraweit's first round pick in the MSD.

    Solid offer Chris, considered it for a bit but in the end it came down to not having an interest in the MSD pick, although May isn't a bad option, don't think he would be taken at #12 if available in PSD, and as I don't have interest in the MSD pick it doesn't make up for that gap.

    Close though
