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.

    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

    Pick 3 for Hogan,

    Pick 4 for Toumpas

    Pick 13 Stringer if he is available,

    Pick 26 Viney

    id say pick 3 for toumpas, otherwide fair chance gws will take him if we give them pick 3. we get hogan for pick 4

    If we get Hogan and Viney I'm happy.

    Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.

    Watch them get Dawes instead.

    Or aswell...

    Why don't you wait until we screw up before you condemn us for screwing up?

    For me Toumpas and Viney would be great. Hogan would be a bonus but we cant see mini draftees have an impact until 2014...

    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.

    Pick 4 & Jamar too GWS

    Mini Pick 1 & Pick 9 too Melbourne

    Dom Tyson too Richmond

    That would be a great deal for us! I can only dream.

    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.

    Lol

    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.

    • 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.
