Outstanding! Hogan will set up our forward line for the next decade once he debuts and Barry looks like a very nice player. To get him along with pick 20 is gold as that will be a good bargaining pick for another established player (Dawes). With pick four our only high pick left now it will surely be used on a player such as Wines/O'Rourke. Can't wait :) It's been a brilliant FA/trade period so far.

Keep it coming!

the only people who are disapointed about this trade are those who want to wait until 2020 for us to be any good. I think MFC have got the balance absolutley right this time. Going into this period any of us would have been happy with Viney @ 3, swap pick 4 for Hogan & another good mid at 13.

Now we have Viney, Hogan PLUS pick 4 (which sould secure us a long term gun player). I suspect we will chase Dawes too with 20.

This will give us a good mix of players who will make a differnce in 2013 and players who will be neck deep when we are pushing for finals.

Bravo MFC

PS. GWS are stockpiling young talent becasue they know 1/4 of them will get homesick and request to leave anyway.

Hmm... looking at the final arrangement on paper, it seems we -

Traded pick 3 in this draft for basically pick 3 in the next draft, in order to guarantee a player we were confident about and that really suited our needs, and with the bonus of getting to manage their final pre-AFL development year knowing that they would come to us.

Traded seven slots down the list in round 1 (moved 13 to 20) for a player tipped to go third roundish (or later), but who clearly has potential and we obviously like - Dom Barry, speedy agile guy.

That second part wouldn't be such a bad deal in itself, even without it being seen as a sweetener for GWS (who get something for nothing).

I'm comfortable, pick 20 is useful, there's still quite a few decent mids around there.

This also basically rules out giving up too much for Wellingham, or paying too much 'over' for Dawes if we still go for him. So not only are good things happening, but bad things are being nipped in the bud.

Adding to DemonWA's thought about GWS stockpiling talent because the know they will lose them - every extra pick we can jam down their throat now just increases the amount they will vomit back in four year's time when Tom Scully's contract squeezes them all out.

Dear GWS/AFL, thank you for paying for the development of our future players, and also the draft picks for Scully, lots of love, Melbourne Demons! :)

Knightmare over on BigFooty has Barry anywhere from 30 to rookie.

I like the trade. Ultimately you can break it in two...

- MD2 for Pick 3

- Pick 13 for Pick 20 and Barry - a 7-slot downgrade for Barry effectively.

There is a hint there, Barry is Indigenous, watch the video on the MFC site, I am over the moon, another sweet left foot, grunt with Viney and silk with Barry...could be anything

I am trying to sort this out in my head. Was Barry available in the draft? If yes, how do we know we have him - is he not available to other clubs? Or was he already on the GWS list in some way?

Not until 2014, I know O'Meara didn't count for the Suns this year and thus they have to delist an extra.

Thanks Striker..that makes sense. So someone with 1 year left on their contract might get a stay of execution this year (Mr. Morton?!)

AFL website has just answered my own question. Quote:

"Barry was zoned to GWS under the draft and player concession rules that gave the expansion club access to players from the Northern Territory who will be draft eligible by the time of the 2011, 2012 and 2013 drafts.""

Although he is available for this draft, he was formally attached to GWS and that is how they were able to use him in the Hogan trade. Well done Dees.

As i understand it GWS could pre-list NT players and then trade those player pre-draft. I think if not traded they then had the option of picking the player up pre draft. If they choose not add the player to their list hehen could put himself in the draft.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
