Based on my view and rumours abroad. Trades in bold compliment each other.

Aaron DAVEY and Brad GREEN to Port for PICK 4.

or

Aaron DAVEY and PICK 19 to Port for PICK 4.

Paul WHEATLEY to Sydney for PICK 30.

PICK 30 and Daniel BELL for Adam THOMSON and Greg BENTLEY.

Jared RIVERS to Hawthorn for Mitch THORP.

or

Brad GREEN to Hawthorn for MItch THORP.

That is 4 or 5 players traded out by us and is the maximum allowed (5).

So how did we end up?

DRAFT PICKS 1, 4, 17, 19 (possibly keep), 35, 51, 68 FIRST 2 Selections - Watts and Vickery

Players IN - Adam Thomson, Greg Bentley and Mitch Thorp.

Players OUT - Aaron Davey, Brad Green, Paul Wheatley, Jared Rivers

If it panned out that way I would be stoked! Is realistic I think!

Thats probably the only way we could get Watts and Vickery as i think they will both be gone at pick 5

Naitanui and Rich at picks 2 and 3 are what i predict will both end up in WA

They only other option is giving picks 17 and 19 to Port for pick 4 but i really doubt that will happen in a draft that has so much talent depth

I personally would pick Vickery before Naitanui as the best big man in the draft (other than Watts)

IMO Picks 17 and 19 in this draft will still give us a very good player

We gain PICK 4. Get 3 younger players with great potential who will get game time with us. And save on the salary cap aswell.

I believe we improve our list and picks in the draft! Win Win! We are rebuilding!

I like it!

I'd be stoked with either of those, people on here overrate Davey massively. And before you all start dribbling about marketability let me tell you I couldn't give a flying rat's rectum. Bindi freakin Irwin is marketable but I don't want her in the forward pocket, I just want a premiership before I die.

I don't know how you can say he is overrated - he is one of the only blokes in red and blue over the last DECADE that actually has the ability to turn a match

Obviously he's gone off the boil a bit though

However, I agree with your point about marketability - I'll tell you what is marketable, winning games of footy - same goes for all you Naitanui spruikers

Partially answered your own question Schtacker. How many games has he "turned" in the last 2 years. Great value for a rookie but not even top 50 in the Afl. Decent small forward, less than average midfielder.

Port wont give up pick 4 for a couple of 26 to 28 yo NQRs.

Gary Ablett snr, could turn a match, Aaron is not one of Gary's screw in stops.

oh yeah let's compare him to one of the all time greatest players cos that's what I said

I have seen him turn and win us matches so that makes him a match-turner

still, we know for a fact the ability is there... it has gone dormant for a bit. We know he has been plagued by injury the last 2 years... maybe he is one of those players that needs to be part of a properly functioning side to be at his best - I believe we will shortly become this side and then we will see the old Davey again. I also believe that this is true of a number of our players who appear to have stalled or gone backwards - watch how different they look in a good side

pretty hard to turn matches in a side that is being belted by 10 goals every week

Jury is out on this one. I don't believe we will shortly become this side - a proper functioning side - for another couple of years. AN improved side perhaps - but not one that will catapult us into the eight, short term.

I suppose it all depends what you refer to as a "properly functioning side" though. You may have to elaborate.

Still, I look forward to the young "quality" talent that are about to commence with the Dees, whoever they be.

Rivers for Thorp, and you want pick as well?

Thorp is an exciting KP prospect. Rivers can't get on the park. They lose big time.

Also, I think there's a limit to the amount of picks u get in one season...

can someone tell me why CJ is on the table?

was he not one of the shining lights for the year??

would it not be a waste to put five years into him - use a father son pick on him - and send him to a club for not much for him to become a real solid player over the next 3-4 years!!!

am i the only one that would be extremely unhappy if he were to be traded.....

Nah mate, im with you. Why would we give away a player whos starting to look the goods. Remember people, when he was drafted there were big wraps on him. He was tipped to go top 10.

Doesn't father/son pick mean we got him CHEAPER than we would have otherwise??

A good player yes, but at this stage our club should have few, if any, untouchables. AND from all reports OTHER clubs are asking about him, not 'he wants to go' or 'the club are trying to get rid of him'.

CJ's market value is a pick between 40-50. Unless the trade involves a player that addresses our needs, I'd keep him.

Don't see the point in stockpiling draft picks unless they are top 20.

No way wiill they trade Davey or Rivers and no way should they, Davey's our most exciting player and Rivers our best defender and one of the best in the comp when up and going. Green and Wheatley though there's possible value there.

Agree with most of that.

Unless it was to offload a Carroll or the draft picks were a smaller part of a bigger deal.

Yze has not used the footy well and hit targets for 3 years. CJ does not win enough of the ball and hurt oppositions.

I cant see what you are frothing about.

he is starting to do that and if he were to go somewhere and turn into a super player, which i really think he will be, id be extremely pi$$ed off

Little chance of that.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
