Do we need to hold a couple of picks for rookie upgrades?

There are endless picks. If we trade away all our picks - there will be more - enough to fill our list - that's why clubs have multiple 'passes' at the end. GWS had about 6 'passes' a couple years ago.

    Pretty sure you just get afforded a handful of picks at the end of the draft for each list vacancy, then you need to pass on one or 2 picks if you want to have selections in the PSD.

    Weren't we going to trade pick 2 for Bugg and Buntine 2 years ago?

    Probably something H-H threw up...

    You wouldn't be surprised based on his 'impressive' CV that you've placed in your signature.

    I think as it stands we've got 8 off and 2 on (Melksham and Kennedy) and that leaves 6 primary list spots, with 2 likely rookie upgrades. So that currently means we need 4 live picks or 3 if we trade for Bugg. It's hard to keep track of the exact numbers because of the FA pick awards but it's something like: 6, 29, 46, 50, 64 (Vandenberg), 82 (Harmes)

    Think we need to pay Terlich out and get another spot for someone who may have a future at the club.

    Whoever gives these guys 3 year deals should be sacked.

    I think it's a raffle after pick 15, this year especially, so not too concerned about having late picks if they're not really early.

    There might be more to the Bugg deal as everyone agrees it is a pretty simple one, yet it's still not done.

  • Quote

    We really need Bugg, if only because now that Howe is gone just to relieve Watts from copping all the crappy puns.

  • Quote

    Can anyone tell me just which picks we have as of right now?

    Would our second one be in the Rioli range??

    Bugg would only fill Howe's place. At least we have Gawn & Dunn to spread the god-awful-pun load.

    Yes, now that Howe is Gawn it is imperative we get the Bugg deal Dunn. That's Watts important. Cross my fingers.

    The hold up might be that we can get him for free as a delisted free agent.

    Can then use our picks for other trades we might have cooking.

    Awful pun off? You blokes aren't Lyon.

    But I'm not sure about Bugg. Someone needs to conVince me that we aren't just trying to keep up with the Jones'. I am happy with Melksham though; his added toughness will help keep Watts out of Harmes way.

    2 year deal.

    I am getting more convinced with each passing hour, that we are trying to do another deal with Bugg involved.

    It is a simple deal for probably our pick 50, yet it is not being done and there appears no angst from anyone about it, nor is it being reported on.

    We now have only 1.5 days left of the trade period and it doesn't make sense to me otherwise.

    Reckon we must be looking to improve our draft position while still landing Bugg. Whether it be through GWS, Sydney or Brisbane.

    Probably that GWS are busy tying up the Treloar deal and the 4 players for 2nd rnd pick with Carlton.

    The theme of our trades being the end of the line continues...

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
