Melbourne - Dom Tyson, NDS 9 (Christian Salem) & NDS 57 (Jayden Hunt)

GWS - NDS 2 (Josh Kelly), NDS 22 (Darcy Gardiner) & NDS 72 (Pass)

I'm happy with the outlook on that deal, much prefer what we got, 2 likely b+/a graders & hunt, hope he comes good too.

    How is that a win for the Suns?

    i think Gold Coast have 10 a grade kids coming through the midfield and it's always good to spread the age of your list. They can cover swallow and bring in another young gun mid or key tall. You have to spread the age of players on your list especially the GWS and Gold Coast were they have so many players around the age of 21 and 22 this will hurt the club in the long run if they don't plan ahead. St Kilda made this mistake

    I think there’s always a chance that Petracca won’t make it to our pick regardless of whether we trade pick 2 or not.

    Saints could decide he’s the best available and go with the pick, or they trade the pick to GWS and still get the tall they want at pick 3 or 4. Saints could well flag a strong interest in Petracca to help along any prospective deal with GWS.

    In either scenario we miss him, but I get the feeling that Roo’s is happy for us to flip the pick and get either a more established player and another asset back. If we have 2 and 3 I still wouldn’t be surprised if ended up dealing pick 2 and being happy to take Brayshaw even if we had a play at Petracca.

    I think the likelihood of us ending up with Petracca is prob at around 50/50 if not less.

    If anyone understands that the player taken at pick one in the draft may not be all that important in the final analysis, then it should be us. Not over fussed about all of this and on the back of last year, feel comfortable that our folk will get us some worthwhile players.

    I agree with this. I don't think Petracca is going to be make of break for us, there are a few pretty handy players in the projected top 10 or so.

    If Mitch Clark goes to the Saints in the PSD as has been rumoured.. we can say goodbye to Petracca.

    2 for 2

    For accuracy sake - Roos said he would not have done a straight pick 2 for Tyson - he wanted to get a pick back in the top 10 which was he got. (Tyson, 9 and 52 for 2,20,72)

    I remember being underwhelmed by Scully's highlights while everyone else seem to salivate.

    Most of the highlight packages are pretty meh.

    Two of the better packages I have seen is Fitzpatrick and Troy Davis - what does that tell you ?

    I'm not sure that he can go in the PSD, it might depend a lot on the settlement agreement with him and also the AFL's somewhat flexible rules.

    If Mitch and Frawley go we shall be looking at picks 2,3,4 based on the salary and value of both players...

    The AFL can call it a Priority pick or compo for Clark, but... anything less would be a travesty.

    And with those picks, and Roos, we are looking at a better draft than last year that netted us 3 top 5 players.

    You were watching the wrong videos?

    I saw the Fyfe highlights video and it was underwhelming also.

    How would we get a top 5 pick for Clark?

    Free agent compensation is based on the value and the length of the contract the player is getting at their new club. Clark certainly isn't going to get big money or much more than a 1 year deal based on his 14 games in 3 years.

    Or are you saying the AFL will give us something on compassionate grounds? Still couldn't see it being a top 5 pick.

    Players association has said if clubs want Mitch they will have to trade with mfc,

    Based on what we invested in Mitch we will ask a fair bit I reckon

    So if Mitch wants to go to the Saints as some are reporting, we'd want to include swapping pick 2 for pick one in the deal. Otherwise they get their key forward and Petracca and we're shafted again.

  • Quote

    We will trade Clark if he wants to go to the club of his choice. Swap for Labamba would be ok. Otherwise would be looking say 30+ given his injuries. What we really need is pick3 for Frawley!!!

  • Quote

    Assuming we get pick 3 compo for Chip, what about picks 2 & 3 to the Saints for their pick 1, pick 20 and a player?

    On second thoughts, just eyeballed their senior list and its lean pickings indeed. They'll take Petracca for sure at pick 1 and they need to. We need to be content with Brayshaw (or whoever else it is that the recruiting team like for our first pick).

    The side is going to be filled with Jack's and Christian's

    Happy with the Jacks, well most of them but wouldn't mind a few lions instead of Christians.

    What? I'd take 2 & 3, celebrate and try to do a Dyson/Salem deal with one and get whoever the Sts didn't with the other. Brayshaw, young gun, and later 1st round pick sounds better than your plan

    Why on earth would Mitch Clark go to the Saints if he wants to play Finals footy? He would be better off in a team boasting him alongside Dawes and Hogan which was the intent this year.

    Speaking of Jacks have you seen the WAGS photos? MFC site.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
