    If greeny wants to leave, we could do a hell of a lot worse than pick 16.

    If greeny wants to stay, i would prefer to keep him to help develop the kids (kids need old heads around the place to help them settle).

    If he wants out, pick 16 is a good deal for both parties.

    Hell no.

    Not to mention the fact you can't really have expected the last three to have made much of themselves yet

    There is also the fact that this is a supposed 'superdraft'

    i hope this davey deal is true as well- pick 4 is a bloody ripper

    imagine pics 1,4,16,17,19 and perhaps trade for prismall for pick 35

    Oh my.....

    and not to mention 09 draft picks.

    No idea who Willoughby is but the others are either too young to judge (Lobbe (considered an odd choice that high), Brown (who will be a gun) and to an extent Douglas (who does ok anyway)) or have done ok (Pattison - who is still only a 21/22 year old ruckman)

    Yes, yes, I like, I like... that'd make it 11 top-20 picks including 1,1,2,4,4 over three years :P

    I don't care who we would have to trade to make that happen, except McLean and Morton (Need a lot more than just Davey for pick 4 though, would need Sylvia or someone also)

    I would hate to see Davey or Green go, but come on people, we can set up an absolute class list for years to come here... let go of your sentimentality please!!!

  • Quote

    Yup. I want him to stay, but I want the pick more. As for Wheatley, 30 is an out-and-out bargain.

  • Quote
    trading davey is a mistake.

    as is green - unless he wants to go, then get the best we can for him.

    I just think the odds of pick 4 turning out to be a star player are very high - Look what we got last year with that number... just about the most valuable player on our list

  • Quote

    Yes. I would take Pick 16 for Green. As long as we dont trade 16, 17, or 19 for Warnock. I so do not want him!

    Then I would trade Davey and Pick 17 to Port for Pick 4.

    Giving us 1, 4, 16, 19, 35, 51, 68. No need for Warnock. We get Vickery at 4.

    I'd take that too! The butcher can pack his bags for 30 absolutely no doubt

    You're probably right - we would need to give another player worth about 17 in order to keep that pick, and I don't think we have anyone worth that except the 2 untouchables... still Davey would be worth the 13-pick upgrade... i think... even though I think he will probably come good again

    argh I better chill out this is doing my head in :D

    The talent appears very deep, the early picks are your normal stars but the 1st Rnd standard seems to run down to about 30. This is exactly why It's so important to get extra picks in the top 25 this year. Teams that have the same amount of picks in the top 30 will all do equally well.

    We need to trade for extra picks if we want to make any gains on our opponents into the future from this draft.

    Deep down i hope Green stays, i want him there to teach the young kids how to play. Green is selfless most of the time. He is not the greatest,but does go in hard. Pick 16 is selling him short in a way. But i am aware this is a top draft so..........

    simply cannot agree it is selling Green short

    look at the quality of players involved in trading for high picks over the last two years

    Chris Judd and Pick #46 West Coast Eagles Carlton Josh J. Kennedy, Draft Picks #3 and #20

    Cameron Wood Brisbane Lions Collingwood Draft Pick #14

    Travis Johnstone Melbourne Brisbane Lions Draft Pick #14

    Jordan McMahon Western Bulldogs Richmond Draft Pick #19

    Graham Polak and Pick #13 Fremantle Richmond Pick #8 (ontraded to Collingwood)

    Chris Tarrant Collingwood Fremantle Pick #8 and Paul Medhurst

    Green is good, but no star. We would be giggling over this one

    What would Collingwood be prepared to give up for Green? Heard they are pretty keen on SEN today.

    For a change, I agree with you, to a degree. For mine, 16 is about Green's value... probably more. I don't know if we'd be laughing; once again we'd be inundated with gumbies saying how disillusioned they are with the club for trading another fan favourite, and there is surely a point where you have to stop trading senior players, unless you want to field a TAC cup team.

    If we got more than 16, I'd be stoked. If we got less than, say, 20 I'd probably be a bit miffed. As it stands, 16 is about the mark and I wouldn't really give a fat rat's clacker whether the deal was done or not.

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
