Funny, in another thread someone said that the Trengove trade was going to get us Dangerfield.

Think you are both right.

We had a go at Dangerfield as admitted by Mahoney and when unsuccessful, turned our attention to Lever, who is one of 4 under consideration for our picks 2 and 3.

    I feel truly humbled to have been annointed your favourite poster and I don't take it lightly. I am thinking of having your post framed next to a picture of me.

    As to what end on the misinformation, I have done my investigations on the number 1 pick scenarios and it just seems to me that first, the Saints would not have passed up picks 4 and 7 for 1, unless they wanted Petracca and second, that the AFL is a little peeved that we all think we know who the Saints will take and they are trying to spice up the event with some mystery and confusion.

    Well I must admit it has spiced things up. I'd probably favour McC/Bray to Petracca/Bray but I've no real idea. I just like the idea of a KPP and a mid as we'll likely get a couple more mids next year with an early pick and Lovett.

    Agree.

    Would like to have picked up Oscar McDonald, especially if we miss McCartin.

    My (uneducated) guess would be that St Kilda would take McCartin.

    Why?

    If they turned down the GWS trade then it's because there was a player in the top 3 that they wanted badly. The difference between Petracca and a pick 4 midfielder is probably quite small, but the difference between McCartin and the next best key forward (Wright, may not be top 10) is enormous. They would probably take the multi if they were interested in midfielders.

    But maybe they see Petracca as a standout and this theory comes crashing down.

    After just reading the AFL article quoting Richardson, I am now totally confused.

    He says Petracca is the better player, but getting a McCartin in the future may be very expensive and why shouldn't they just take him now and get him to fall in love with the club.

    I think I can safely say they will take one of them.

    I said it in another thread but keep this in mind- when we got pick 3 for Frawley, talk about the Saints doing that trade ceased. IF Saints traded for 3 & 6 (instead of 4&7) draft would have been 1) GWS Petracca, 2) Melbourne Brayshaw, 3) StKilda McCartin and 6) Stkilda mid. When we took pick 3 the calculations changed to 2) Brayshaw and 3) mccartin. Saints all of a sudden were forced to either take McCartin with 1 or else he wouldn't slip past our pick 3.

    With us only interested in Brayshaw with 2, pick 3 was open for them to take the KPF. Now it isn't and heir hand is forced. Stkilda will be taking McCartin with 1 or they'll have to settle for the next best, and seeing as their is no perceived equal, their is no one worth pick 4. McCartin is their man, thank you very much.

    Hang on, didn't we get ND3 way a few days before GWS got ND7 from Carlton, and ND6 from WB?

    Although, they may have tried to get that done because of their desire for Petracca...

    Intriguing ideas but I don't think I will subscribe to your magazine...

    Actually, the answer's on the cover of the Abbey Road album by the Beatles.

    You just need to look close enough.

    if you look closely at the cover of Sgt Peppers you will see Groucho Marx standing next to Jack Watts. Groucho is holding up a sign with an arrow pointing to Watts and the sign says " its all his fault"

    Lever & Brayshaw

    If Lever's knee is ok he will probably be the pick of this draft. Is that a reach, well if our guys think he is then we take him.

    I love that attitude, rjay.

    It's not a reach till history says it is.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
