if GC give pick 2 to the crows for tippett then the crows will definitely take toumpas at 2, being an adelaide boy an all

That's true, I've said the same on another thread. Although others think they may take Grundy instead of Toumpas to replace Tippett, my money would be on Toumpas...but we may get lucky.

Clearly we lack what Hogan provides. We drafted Watts as a key forward and how's that looking ? We drafted Cook as a key forward and how's that looking ? If we didn't need young key forwards coming

Oh no we have to wait one whole year to play what might be the next Jonno Brown for the next 10 or so.. I don't think we can wait that long- being a club that is used to that winning feeling, and all.

Toumpas at 3 O'Rourke at 4 Stringer at 13 Although somewhere in the Gillette Draft we may be forced to get rid of pick 13 for someone.

I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere but Dawes will cost MFC Martin decent and pick of some sort.

Ad for Wellingham its pretty clear he wants to go home,apparantly isnt intersted in talking to MFC and his 'classy outside skills 'come with a kicking efficiency of 55%!!!

Some would say that therefor he fits right in I guess but I doubt its going to happen

Dawes just is not worth Martin + anything much, let alone the 13 that some have been talking about. I would rather keep Martin and use his as a defender who can ruck, especially if Riv flows down the bay to Corio.

If viney goes to our 2nd rnd pick we could probably afford to go for a tall (grundy) with our 3rd or 4th pick. If we have to use him early we would surely use the other top 5 pick on another mid.

My preference is:

pick 3: toumpas

pick 4: O'rourke/Grundy

pick 13: kennedy

pick 26: Viney

Why are all the melbourne staff talking about trading our picks 3 or 4 for the right player?

I just don't get it...furthermore to draft a 17 year old such as Hogan only for him to leave in a few years doesn't make sense to me also

Am I missing something here?

Yeah, what you have posted doesn't make sense to me either.

Weird.

If those picks are on the table, and GWS or GC have a chance of securing them, it offers an extra incentive for them to maybe not bid on Viney.

You know, GWS might think they'll get 3 or 4 or both for minidraft picks.

GC may think it's possible they could get pick 4 for Caddy & Toy, if we don't have to use 3 on Viney.

They don't bid, then we make whatever trades we want regardless to whatever impression they may have got.

It's all about making the waters murky, creating doubt and indecision, that may lead to a benefit for the club.

That's my take.

Basically, if gc bid for viney, then we must trade our first pick. Simple.

The question really is, if we have to trade our first pick, what is the best pick we can get?

Hogan

Tippett

Gaff

Caddy & toy

Dawes & wellingham

And so on.

The MFC is not silly enough to throw away one of the above mentioned trades so we can use pick 3 on viney, when we can still get viney 2nd round.

Really, it is a no brainer.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the F/S bidding takes place before anything else. If GC bids and we want Viney then we can't trade that pick

Have you not heard this?

Oh, I have.

Doesn't mean your post that worried we will trade pick 3 and then worried we lose said player after two years makes sense.

Worry less.

That would be my advice to Dees supporters.

On this forum I've heard it, as rumours, maybe some baseless media reports. Nothing of the sort from the club, unless the receptionist has been talking or maybe one of the cleaning staff.

Sorry to throw you back into the real world, but it is quite simple. It goes like this.

MFC- "GC, are you going to bid on Viney"

GC- "Yes"

MFC - "OK"

then we trade our first pick.

Absolutely clueless.

Stop posting, you clearly have no idea how this father/son thing works.

Lol

We can't get rid of it as the first thing that happens when trade week starts is the F/S bidding.

Genius! What could possibly go wrong with this plan? Ignoring that little thing about it not being at all how the system works, of course.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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.
