Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


Bulldogs want pick 2 or 3


What

Recommended Posts

Stringer and 6 or NO key forward. Next

Fitzpatrick as a sweetener? Still win/win

Then pick 3 to swans for Mitchell and Membrey. Membrey to replace fitzy..

The only player of value that they would trade is Hrovat, who doesn't match Roos want for bigger bodied mids.

Stringer, Mcrae, Libba etc. are the future of their club, we wouldn't trade Tyson, Viney or Hogan for a 3 pick upgrade + 2nd rounder.

As others have said, it will likely be pick 3 for pick 6 and 26 if it happens. If they get a band 2 compo pick (end of 1st round) for Higgins we'd be asking for that (but it's likely to be band 3 - after 2nd round pick).

We would then on-trade or package the Higgins compo for an experienced player.

If they can figure out a way to get Greenwood from North and convince him to come to us or work it into a 3-way trade I'd do that. They can probably use either one (or both - though probably too much) of their second round picks to get Greenwood then on trade him to us with 6 for pick 2.

Yes please. Like the idea of Greenwood paying for us next year. Strong, solid mid.

But a decent KPF is also "the future of their club". And if they get one, they won't even notice having 5 potentially A-grade mids instead of 6.

Do they have anybody on that rung between Stringer/Macrae/Libba/Bont and Hrovat/Wallis?

Too late. They already have pick 26... assuming they don't pick up a FA.

How bout this:

Pick 27 (Western Bulldogs as per your scenario above) for Merrett & Pick 36 (Geelong, maybe even snag a Varcoe with it, he'd be an upgrade on Bail's role on the HFF imo) for Lumumba or vice versa - (note, pick numbers based on compo/extra picks for Melb, GWS, GC & Doggies). Or we could just go direct to Brissy with a Pick 2 for 5 swap for Merrett, with the higher pick for collingwood giving them Petracca or one of the 2 bigs leaving Brayshaw to us at 3 & pick 5 still to trade for a either a gun young mid or another Tyson style downgrade.

Would be awesome for us, but other clubs seem to be into him too & probably willing to offer a higher pick imo, even higher than our pick 23.

We already have Hogan, they don't. They will need to do something and will need to pay to fix it. I don't think they have the guts to do it.

Forget Hrovat, he's not of that value.

The Age article indicates the Pies and Dogs are into him - Richmond were enquiring but didn't really go any further. Both us and Footscray will have picks before Collingwoods second rounder.

Is Greenwood and North's Pick 15 a possibility for Pick 3?

Gives us Pick 2 - Brayshaw ? Petracca

Greenwood

Pick 15 (say Weller/De Goey)

(Maybe a swap of picks later in the piece)

I'm all for downgrading one of our earlier picks ala the Tyson deal, but 3 to 15 seems a large jump for mine.

Would havee thought Greenwoods value to be around early second rounder, recon 26 would do it?

Trade 3 for 6& 26, on trade to roos.

Although they'll prob ask for our early second rounder, hopefully we don't have to spend that one on the little Ironman :P

I dont really understand why the Dogs want to trade down anyway? Assuming Lions trade their pick 5 to the Pies for Beams the Dogs still get one of McCartin or Wright as you'd assume the Pies would use the pick on a mid with Moore in the bag.

Edit - actually I guess the risk is we trade the pick to someone else who is after a KPF.

Greenwood has had one good season, was nearly on the scrapheap a year ago. He's saved his career but is he really worth pick 3? I wouldn't have thought so.

I agree, we shoulda coulda got him then for nothing but we didn't, nor did any other club.

I'm just asking the question is Greenwood and 15 (and say maybe a swap of Norths 2nd for or our 3rd for instance) worth Pick 3?

I don't believe I said we should trade Greenwood for Pick 3.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
