How do we get 2 Top 10 Picks?

Featured Replies

Firstly, I like how everyone thinks outside the square, you all should be applauded for your ideas.

Call the afl and tell them that we played 19 on the field in the Carlton game last year. We will have the four points taken from us and record this as a loss.

:lol: Nice effort. What would Vlad think?? :lol:

Melbourne sends Nathan Jones and pick 17 to Essendon

Essendon sends Pick 5 to Melbourne

Melbourne selects Steele Sidebottom

Impressive display by Sidebottom on Friday, but how good were the defenders? Essendon want Hurley anyway.

How about a three way deal involving Melbourne, Carlton and Fremantle.

Melbourne trade Wonamerri to Fremantle and picks 17 & 19 to Carlton

Fremantle trade Warnock to Carlton

Carlton trade pick 6 and 56 to Melbourne.

Melbourne get two top 10 picks, Carlton get Warncok and two picks in the top twenty and Fremantle get a small forward to step in to replace the retired Jeff Farmer?

And with picks

1. Watts

6. Sidebottom

35. Salter

51. Browne

56. Klause

Here Melbourne lose two top 20 picks....we don't effectively get two top 10 picks, we get one top 10 pick out of this deal. Carlton would be very happy I'd assume with Warnock, 17 and 19 for pick 6!!! Freo get a rookie. This doesn't add up for any party. You a Carlton supporter? <_<

So we give up Wona, 17 & 19 for pick 6 & 56. Epic fail

I don't disagree, I just reckon it's one of the only ways I can see Melbourne getting a 2nd pick in the top 10. I can't see any other sides being interested that much in to many other of our players.

 

woenamirri needs to be kept. if he can shed some weight, he will be more of a gun next yr- bailey will develop him well!

I'm not sure it's even possible to trade a rookie who's being uplifted to the senior list.

With the state of Melbourne's list, I think the only reasonable possibility of getting a top 10 pick is Green or Davey plus pick 19. Not worth it.

Would much rather look at getting more in the top 25 than shifting picks from top 20 to (late) top 10.


Trade Bell and pick 35 for Crows pick 28

Trade Green and pick 28 for top 10 pick.

Dont know the crows list well enough to know if they would do this.

I think we would over pay, but thats how we would get a first round pick, or something close to this.

Bell and Pick 35 to Adelaide for Brent Reilly

Pick 19 to Brisbane for Mitch Clarke

Frawley and Sylvia to StKilda for Pick 13 and 4th round pick

Keep 1, 17 and 51.

Green to play forward in 2009.

Will any of these work?

That is THE worst trade idea i have ever heard. Congratulations.

Without intending to spark the 'Green / Bruce; Trade / Keep' debate...

IF we put the following two packages out there in trade week; could any club with a top ten pick be interested?

Brad Green + pick 17

Cameron Bruce + pick 19

No. I dont think so! Would need to offer a younger player and pick.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
