For the Pedersen and Martin deals to not look amateurish, I expect the FD to use 73 and 74 in the draft so that means we will be using those picks and then upgrading rookies from then on.

As for Morton, Martin, and Gysberts I was not happy about them leaving for a pittance. Especially Morton, but I realised quickly that we lost no-one I would consider for the best 22 next year, or even the best 30.

They were projects.

And if Neeld wants to tell me that we have enough projects then I can only agree.

Develop Watts. Help Trengove get back some explosiveness. Fix Nicholson's kicking. There are too many things to improve in the top 30 players to worry about the massive issues that surround Morton's lack of competitiveness, Gysberts' lack of professionalism and slight frame, and Martin's inability to play as a forward in a time when your back-up ruck MUST be able to play forward.

So yeah, terrible negotiating but I am over it.

    I expect the same.

    If you're not going to use 73, why have the Lions include it for Martin?

    You'd just do the trade for 53 alone.

    Easy to say, but you try negotiating from a clear position of having no leverage.

    We were lucky to have another team take them off our hands & pay the final year of their contracts.

    Yes, but I would have preferred pick upgrades...

    But then again, maybe they wanted 5 'live' picks inside 75...

    If so, they think the OOC list at the club is not great at all.

    That'd be my guess.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
