My Prediction for our trade/draft period.

Toumpas to Port for Pick 29

Jeremy Howe to GC for Pick 19(or 22) and 40

Pick 29 to Essendon for Melksham

Pick 25 and 43 to GWS for Tom Bugg and Pick 27

Pick 40 to Collingwood for Kennedy

Draft Day

Pick 6 (Tall)

Pick 19(or 22) (mid)

Pick 27 (mid)

Vandenberg upgrade

Harmes Upgrade

Out

Toumpas

Howe

pick 25

Pick 43

IN

Melksham

Bugg

Kennedy

pick 19(22)

pick 27

Mahoney has said that we want to complement our trade period with further high draft picks, this prediction sets us up with 3 solid players all coming to us relatively cheaply, and continues to build our list with 3 high draft picks. Furthermore these movements adhere to the 6 vacancies on our list.

    T Mac will become our second forward.

    Nah Tmac best position is a back. Roosy had to roll the dice in that Essendon game. He is the backman of the future. Up there with Talia and McGovern in terms of young KPD

    I think it will be a 3 way trade

    Andrew Moore to Pies, Toumpas to Port, Kennedy to Dees

    Not yet, maybe in 2016.

    Nah, right now. Best inside mid we have.

    Leads the club in average Contested Possessions and Clearances in 2015.

    Happy with both of them 'rpfc', I think Tyson is a bit stronger in tight over the ball but Viney harder at his attack on the ball.

    My original post was in response to someone calling Tyson an outside mid which he clearly isn't.

    I disagree, we have plenty coming through who can play as key backs. Omac, White, Frost ect can all come in. Garland just re signed to.

    TMac has learnt from the best forwards in the game for the past few years and is primed to work alongside Hogan up forward

    White is not a KPP, OMac is still very inexperienced, and Frost only has 9 toes. I think TMac will be playing in the backline next season.

    Howe for Suns pick 19.

    Toumpas to Power, Moore (or Young) to Bombers and Melksham to Dees.

    Kennedy & Pies pick 47 to Dees for pick 27.

    Bugg to Dees for pick 47

    Get Melksham, Bugg & Kennedy & ND19

    Release Howe and Toumpas

    Draft picks #6 (Charlie Curnow) #19 (Ryan Clarke) #45 (Kurt Mutimer).

    Upgrade Harmes and Vandenburg.

    Class vs Grunt,

    Tyson finds space in tight, Viney tries to break through the wall

    Both I think will be premier midfielders in the comp for a long period of time

    personally think Christian Salem will be better than both when he transitions to the midfield, best skills at the club, speed, grunt, class in tight, damaging outside as well.

    i do to. He has something.

    Viney and Tyson will be very good. CS just special

    Lucky us :)

    Throw in Brayshaw and Petracca, Neil Bullen looks to be alright too..

    starting to look like a seriously good core of players

    probably the best young key back and key forward in the comp too

    Mgoven probably just pips Mcdonald but i'd say Hogan is the best young key forward,

    Watts 196cm 88kg

    Lynch 192cm 87kg

    I think Watts is gone, we made a play for Lynch and failed.

    Let him be someone else's problem.

    The contested mark stat is interesting, how many years on the list?

    Seven I believe

    It is and will remain an interesting point of ongoing debate.

    YES TMcD has had a fantastic learning experience against some of the best KPP forwards, in a similar way that our greatest goal-kicker, DN did early in his career.

    Personally I believe he could go on to be one of our better KPP forwards in tandem with JH

    On the other hand he is doing a great job at CHB and unless the likes of Frost or his own young bro come along quickly, and I mean start to show as early as preseason 2016, JMc will stay as a defender for most of 2016.

    i just don't see tom mcdonald as a forward. he can swing there...but his kicking is just not good enough to make him better off playing forward as opposed to back, where i think he can become one of the best in the business.

    All quiet today but in my opinion I think:

    Howe to Pies

    Dees get Kennedy and pick 29

    Melksham to Dees

    Pick 29 to Bombers

    Toumpas to Port for pick 31

    Bugg to Dees for pick 46

    Draft 6, 26, 31 (Charlie Curnow, Thomas Cole, Ben Mckay)

    Get Kennedy, Bugg, Melksham

    Lose Howe, Toumpas and pick 46

    Yeah interesting with TMac. He did have a great year at CHB in the first half of the season, main problem with him though is he can't lock down on the bigger FF. Mostly the lead up tall forwards.

    Roos did mention he thought Frost was going to be a Key Defender. At the moment with Dunn and Frost as the big men down there, would that free up TMac to become a CHF? Has a great tank, works hard both ways and can take a contested mark. Would be helpful having someone up there that would help JH, I don't think Dawes is exactly doing that at the moment.

    I like Dawes aggression at the contest though, since he isn't kicking goals or getting much ball around the ground would it be possible to push him back? Big ask and big risk but I guess he is bigger and stronger than TMac.

    I am still hoping for Treloar... he would bring us into finals contention in 2016 IMO

    TRELOA IS NOT COMING!!

    Dont understand why some on here seriously cannot understand the fact that Treloar will simply not play for us. Gubby Allen is just trying to be a grub and play hardball. He will get to Collingwood and no one else.

    Forget about Treloar he has no interest in the Melbourne Football Club at all. Stop trying to believe in fairytales.

    Reminds me of how some seriously believe Danger was going to be a Demon as early as last week.

    I know its been speculated upon in the media but Adam Tomlinson definitely wants out. Waiting for Cam McCarthy deal to go through. Would be a nice pairing with hogan. Ideally we would get a second rounder for howe and that might work, otherwise next years second rounder might get it done.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
