MELBOURNE will not make a trade with West Coast for midfielder Daniel Kerr according to coach Dean Bailey.
Kerr is understood to be up for grabs at the end of the season but any club that hopes to secure his services will have to give up a lot with the Eagles expected to demand two top-10 selections in this year's draft.
Bailey said the the club won't be giving up any of its picks in exchange for the 2006 premiershp star.
"He's a very good player Daniel Kerr. Maybe someone might be prepared to trade out a first-round pick," Bailey said.
"We'll keep our picks, we won't be trading. We want to keep our first pick and as of today there's also 17 and 19. We'll be really keen to keep our picks."
Bailey also said he was focused on building a side from the ground up.
"We have a young list now and this year it's important that we draft well," he said.
"Every year you should draft well. You can't pick and choose drafts and you have to ensure you put all of the work into it so you can produce and develop players."
"We've got a young list now, we'll have a young list again next year."
"How we coach and how we develop them is super important."
