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.

    • 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?
