Driving Lumumba's price up also drives up the asking price for Beams. This is pie-o-nomics 101. They want more than a first rounder for beams and will play hardball at the trade table.

We need to tempt them with Geelong's pick #33 if it come our way. Maybe we do that and swap a 4th round for a 6th round to sweeten the deal for them.

    Buckley wants him out of the club. There are no other takers. He has a 1 year contract left with the Pies.

    We are in a strong position to deal.

    I'm sure this is how we will be playing it.

    This is a really interesting scenario. Given that our fall back position is "f... you! keep him and sort it yourselves"!

    You would think that we have the filth at our mercy.

    At the very least, if the deal goes ahead, there should be no suggestion that we have paid "overs".

    Mahoney said on SEN this morning that their belief is that Lamumba's value lies somewhere between a 2nd and 3rd round draft pick. I was relieved to hear this as a straight swap for our 2nd pick is overs - we need something else back.

    Given that we hopefully won't have a 3rd round pick if Stretch gets through, one scenario might be:

    Melbourne's 2nd and 4th Round Picks (approx 22 and 58) for Lamumba and Collingwood's 3rd Round Pick (Approx 42).

    Mahoney also confirmed that we are reasonably confident of being able to secure one of or both of Sam Frost and Daniel Merrett. Perhaps that pick 42 would then be enough for one of those.

    Collingwood's 3rd rounder at this stage is 45 and it will likely go out further after compo. Which is probably fair enough for Frost.

    I'd still rather give them a lower pick to start with. We need 22 at the draft table. Let's see what Mitch Clark fetches. We can always swap them 22 for 28, it at least keeps us a top 30 pick.

    Agree GRRM...would be hanging on to 22

    I reckon we should get this bloke called Harry O'Brien instead

    Yeah, Harry O looks as though he has a little bite in him, not sure about Lumumba. Maybe we can give collingwood our second round for both player.. :)

    For what its worth H Lumumba is currently coming 3rd in the Copeland trophy.

    Lumumba just came 4th in the copeland.

    Not a bad effort for a player that majority of demonland didnt want and basically a straight swap for Clark.

    Lumumba over Clark is a massive win for us.

    I'd have a high opinion of myself if I'd been forced to play at Colonwood most of my career.

    Especially surrounded by such arrogant management.

    2 of their top 4 B and F winners from tonight are leaving the club lol

    Surely alarm bells are ringing at Collingwood? Something very seriously wrong there.

    Swan only has another few years left in him... what does that leave Pendlebury with?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
