Delistings/trades at end of the season

Northern Summer
in Melbourne Demons

Jack Martin and Jesse were the top 2 under 17's by a mile and available to GWS to be traded for compo picks.

GC had the first pick and took Martin, leaving us Jesse.

Then the recruiting took over and we swapped pick 20 for Dawes and the indigenous winger whose name I forget, who has retired. It could be easily argued both were a bust.

Dom Barry is his name.

I also believe that as a result of all of the machinations involved in the dealings involved was that we were able to take Jack Viney with our second round pick and not our first which would have cost us pick 4 (Jimmy Toumpas).

    I can't get past the idea that Geelong are looking like picking up Dangerfield, Henderson and now a good chance of landing Scott Selwood.

    Surely they won't have enough draft picks to trade and all these deals will require substantial player swaps as well.

    This will be forgotten through time but Jack Viney should have been ND3 - all teams knew we were taking him regardless of where; we gave him a 5 year 'contract' at 15, all teams knew he would become what he has become.

    GWS and GC were the teams that could have forced our hand and both were involved in the Mini Draft that delivered GWS ND2 and ND3, GC Martin, and us Hogan.

    GWS wanted our pick and GC wasn't spoiling the apple cart - Viney at ND26.

    Even a broken watch tells the correct time twice a day.

    How many draft picks did Prendergast have during his time as a club recruiter and how many of them were busts?

    I would venture to say that his would have been the worst record in the competition by a long way.

    For that, the only hug he deserves is a heavy duty bear hug that crushes a few of his ribs.

    Richmond in 2004 had five picks in the top 20 and used them on Deledio (1), Tambling (4), Danny Meyer (12), Adam Patterson (16) and Dean Polo (20). They also picked up JON at #8 the following year. Whoever their recruiting manager at the time might be challenging Prendergast for his crown. It's little wonder they were awful until recently when their drafting improved a lot.

    What the Dawks have identified a slight need for a role player on the half back flank, but only if two other preferred players get injured or something? Gee I hope they get their man!

    Listening to trade radio is hilarious.. Some of the biased supporters that ring up and propose a trade scenario. I remember last year a St Kilda supporter ringing up suggesting trading their pick 1 and Terry Milera for Dangerfield. It provides me some comedic value that's for sure.

    12 months on that trade isn't as silly as sounds.

    Would Crows settle for pick 1 this year?

    Isn't it? Because at that time Melbourne were offering picks 2 and 3 lol.. It's not about what Adelaide want to settle for, Dangerfield has to agree to be traded to the club and unfortunately the way it's going it's Geelong or nothing. We are offering Adelaide pick 6 this year and 1st round next year, Adelaide are all over that but Dangerfield isn't accepting a trade to Melbourne.

    That's because he's getting 4 million in 3rd party deals to go to Geelong.

    Did we offer both picks? If so, I'm glad it didn't pan out. I wouldn't even trade Brayshaw on his own for Danger.

    I really hope we're into Scott Selwood.

    Fully fit he's a genuine B+ midfielder that would cost us no draft picks as a Restricted Free Agent.

    There's talk of giving pick 25 for Melksham and paying him $400k a year when Selwood and Suckling as free agents would be much better targets IMO.

    I know Selwood wants to get to Geelong to play with Joel but again, make him an offer he can't refuse.

    It wont just be Goodwin it will be a group decision. Do you think Goodwin could just overrule the opinion of the rest of the footy staff?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
