So we have 3 available list spots, with 4 picks in the draft, and we want somone from the PSD?

As of next Monday we will have a fair few more spots those who weren't traded will be delisted and 1 or two others will have their contracts paid out. We will have around 6 spots available

We'd need to pay out Evans, McKenzie and someone else to have 6 spots available.

We have a lot of space in the salary cap those two wont be on big coin. They aren't going to make it I have no issue especially with Evans being paid out

Me either, happy to do it but are speculative draftees at pick 53 and 61 going to be much better?

Aside from the Frost deal which appears overs I dont understand the angst. You cant force deals to happen. Those we did do we won. No player that was traded elsewhere was a realistic target for us as they went interstate or the other club paid serious overs.

Whilst I can understand the disappointment at not landing a big fish or immediately fixing our midfield I am keen to hear why people think we failed?

Pick 23 for a player that couldnt get in to their team and was drafted as a rookie, great stuff mahoney

Agree Rjay all the geniuses on here, hope they have done their homework on the draft. From what I have seen this draft runs very deep a limit on stars so we get the potential stars with the first 2 picks, Stretch and use the other two picks on another 2.

I implore everyone to do some homework on this years draft pool not a lot of difference between 20-60 on what I have seen

Seems to be...one of my favourites is Gore who has been rated in the mock drafts from 20 to rookie.

We get prime position in the PSD and Frost gets an early start learning the game plan.

Also there was no Bernie Vince around this year and no Dom Tyson deal.

Frost had interest from St Kilda, so had to do it.

so Pelchen & the Saints are trying to screw us as well, we Owe them then big time.

they just wanted to force us to spend our 2nd Rndr, as we got P-3 & Stretch as a 3rd Rnd pick...

paybacks a [censored] Saints, start bending over.

Would the player we would have picked at 23 be of equal or lesser value than Frost? Most likely.

I don't really see the big deal.

Could we have got him for free? Yes. Will they be of equal or greater value? Yes.

He was last in the KPD line at GWS. The only reason he got games was injuries to Gilham(11 games out injured) and Davis(14 games out injured).

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he the one who had 10 goals kicked on him by both J.Kennedy and J.Riewoldt this year?

why is everyone picking on Mahoney, he would have been acting on decisions made by the recruiting team, which would have included input from Paul Roos. Mahoney mentioned they are looking to use the first pick in the PSD to pick up a player they are keen on, so that also comes into the equation on why we spent pick 23 as well as the fact that we have two more late picks, which may still give us upgrades for a couple of our lesser lights. Lastly we got a player caused Tyson last year because he had trouble getting a game also with the same team. Roos and the recruiting teams saw a player they wanted because he is the sort of player we need, lets see how he plays with our team before we say it was a failure.

Tyson was a pick 3 who was a walk up start at GWS when not injured. Frost was a rookie pick who spent the last 7 games in the reserves.

Not sure why people are so mad about essentially swapping 23 for Frost and 40. Frost we wanted and in looking over the last few drafts there's not been a clear year where 23 has been better than 40.

Pick 40 has got Parker (Syd) and Christensen (Geel), so I trust that they have someone in mind, who might have been pick 23 potential anyway. (Not saying we'll get a Parker or Christensen, just examples).

We have 2, 3, 40 & 53. This excludes 83, 97 & 115 which won't be used on picks.

Personally I doubt the potential of 53 also. Seems theres a smokey in the PSD

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
