Picks 5 & 6


Redleg

Recommended Posts

Could this happen?

"IF", we retain pick 3, meaning Viney goes to second round and Dogs as rumoured swap picks 5 & 6 for U17 pick 1, could we swap pick 3 for 5 & 6 with GWS and trade pick 4 for U17 pick 2.

If we assume GC keep pick 2 and select Toumpas, my view is that GWS would be desperate to get Grundy to fill a major need. Pick 3 would probably get that done. 4 is more gold.

Hypothetically that could give us something like Hogan, Wines, Stringer and Kennedy/MacRae etc plus Viney. That's 5 good players for 4 original picks.

How good would that be as a start to rebuilding our list?

GWS would need to really want Grundy...... maybe if we could trade a decent compo pick back to them say a second rounder we get for Moloney and Rivers

it would be GWS giving up Stringer and Wines ect for on Grundy......doubt Grundy is this good otherwise we wouldnt do the trade

i think their may be chance if we bundle it as one trade. 3+4 and a decent compo pick

for 5-6 and U17 pick 2

I know this is the same as you said basically aside from the compo pick but you made them sound like 2 trades, i dont think 3 is enough for 5/6 personally but maybe if pick 4 is overs for mini draft pick 2 this compensates it all?

I can't see the Bulldogs swapping picks 5 & 6 for MD#1. He must be a once a generational type player Martin for the dogs and it's supporters to wait 12 months. (Even though McCartney stated last night that the Dogs are at least 6 years away from being something).

And I'm not sure on face value that they'd be happy in spending 5,6 for MD#1 whilst we've snagged MD#2 with pick 4.

In answer to your question though it would be a great start. I do like the strategy.

depends on where 9 comes from? caddy i assume

I think the report was:

Picks 5 and 6 (WB) to GWS

Dom Tyson to Richmond

MD1 and Pick 9(Rich) to WB

This might've been debunked since reported though. Tyson sent a tweet saying hes more than happy at the Giants.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
