Given that;

1. Your mum doesn't have inside gossip after meeting someone who looks like a players brother when on a Bruny Island (sorry for the Tassie reference) seal watching tour.

2. You can't stand riddles.

3. You don't know who to trust.

4. This trade season for all its craziness is getting you down.

Who do we draft?

    Obviously Brayshaw is a lock for 2. But hearing rumours Jake Lever could be right up our calculation.

    Given that the Dogs and GWS will probably be arguing up to the deadline ,and each trade they're trying to do affects trading with Stkilda, theres got to be a chance that the saints are forced to keep pick 1 and go w McCartin. Which could mean that Petrecca is available as well. For all the Kennedy talk I think Id be more excited about that duo coming to the club along with pick 23.

    Brayshaw and either Petracca, Wright or McCartin! (Assuming we go into it with picks 2 & 3)

    Still can't see us taking the top picks to the draft.

    so everyone still assuming Petracca will go at pick 1?

    Lot of talk on trade radio yesterday that the Saints are trading Rhys Stanley, which leaves them very thin for tall forwards both now and for the future

    McCartin to the Saints at pick 1 surely

    Yeah was thinking this as well, Stanley to the Cats for 21 means there's a huge chance they take a KPP at 1.

    However it also means there's a huge chance they trade 1 to GWS for 4 & 7, GWS take Petracca at 1 and Saints take Wright or McCartin at 4.

    Brayshaw and Petracca, if Petracca is gone take McCartin.

    I'm with you big Gonzo. As for having Joey moving back to Melbourne. No chane but would be wise for Sydney to top up while they can with all their over 30's and inability to trade over the next 2 years.

    and yes they may trade to GWS, but even then if they lose Boyd to the Bulldogs, Pattons done his knee again

    they may take McCartin too

    There is a lot of sense in this however if we have first choice of the talls (after grabbing Brayshaw with 2) then I would be more tempted by Wright ahead of McCartin. McCartin reminds me a bit of Hogan where as Wright reminds me more of Mitch. In essence, by drafting Wright, we might have a similar forward structure to what we envisaged having this year, with the additions of Brayshaw, Stretch etc as additions to our midfield depth!

    Wright would be good as he could serve two purposes (ruck/forward) and allow us to ditch Fitzpatrick & Spencer keeping Gawn to switch forward with Wright.

    I haven't seen much of McCartin but from what I've read he's more a lead up marking forward playing out of the goal square whereas Hogan is more of a roaming CHF type so they should complement each other well.

    I can.

    If the deal isn't there, it isn't there.

    We have to get everything right for 5 years. Last year, we did that. This year is teetering on a knife edge, one thing that can not happen id either overpaying for one star or buying high on whoever is available just because we can get them.

    If Petracca, McCartin, and/or Brayshaw are our lot then they are our lot.

    I dont see Boyd going anywhere (not this year at least) and besides they still have Cameron, Tomlinson and McCarthy (and maybe one or two others besides). If GWS somehow land pick 1 they'll take Petracca guaranteed.

    The Saints trading out Stanley, and not bringing in another legit tall, can only bode well for us in the hope we take both Petracca and Brayshaw.

    Gentlemen (and Ladies),

    Let us have supreme faith in the ability of Roos, Goodwin and Stone ( assisted by Misson ) getting whoever we pick cherry ripe for the start of the 2015 season. Given the physical development of the touted top four, I see no reason why any of them are not hot to trot for Round one and able to make a similar impact that Wines had for PA this year!

    Plus we have (virtually) new recruits in Salem, Hogan, Stretch, JKH and Toumpas added to the mix.

    A good way to do this would be just like how the clubs do it. Having a list of players in the order you would take them and cross them off as a team above selects them.

    For me, it would be

    1. Christian Petracca

    2. Angus Brayshaw

    3. Jake Lever

  • Quote

    I would only trade Pick 2 or 3 for a Sloane or Wines.

    But I am happy if we used both Picks in the draft...

    2 Mids. Petracca & Brayshaw

    Hopefully Petracca and Brayshaw.

    It may not get dd36 jizzing on his cat, but it'll come close.

    Saints looking to trade down to get McCartin..if the dees go to the draft it'll be Petraca and Brayshaw. Unless another team, say GWS, get pick 1

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
