Just to clarify, Carlton just traded (effectively) a second round pick and some nothing late picks for four players (two of whom were top 10 draft picks), and we still can't get Tom Bugg traded in for a third round pick. I hope we are looking to add something juicier in to the deal, rather than GWS dragging their feet.

Seriously Tiger, don't know if you've had it broken to you from others on here or in your personal life but you are an absolute bore.

Had we drafted any one of the 'top 10 draft picks' you mentioned above I have no doubt you'd be on here droning on about it.

Simple question: Would you have preferred if we had drafted Sumner, Plowman, Lamb and Philips?

    I think they were just helping old mate SOS out. To add pick 8 to that deal is like a gift for Carlton. I think it will end up being a defining trade for Carlton. A lot of those players haven't really had a chance to show their worth. GWS have such an elite midfield, its hard for any of these kids to get a run.

    Pick 8 isnt a gift as the Blues gave up the 2016 1st round pic they got from Geelong

    They did well in the trade though

    Expected to happen very soon.

    I'd rather do:

    MFC IN: Bugg and 26 (729 points - received from Pies for Treloar... eventually)

    MFC OUT: 43 (378), 46 (331), 50 (273), 64 (101).

    Therefore Bugg = 354 points (pick 45).

    Exactly. love the strategy. GWS need points

    10 = 1395

    43 = 378

    46 = 316

    50 = 273

    64 = 101

    7 = 1644

    27 = 703

    28 = 677

    48 = 302

    Bugg = 3rd round pick

    7+28 = 2321

    We'd have to add in all our other picks to get that done and then be gifted Bugg. If we want that pick 7 I'd be surprised as to how we'd get pick 28 as well.

    Brett Anderson tossing up a hypothetical

    7 (when they get it for Trelor) + Bugg for 10, 43, 50

    I've got a feeling that is what we are going for. Otherwise we would have already swapped Bugg for pick 43 or whatever.

    The deal is done! Great news!

    Not a bad day for the Dee's.

    Was helping out with Caulfield Grammars footy side a few years back - Bugg was captain, good bloke, good footy brain, good footballer. If my memory serves me well the Dees were big into him as a schoolboy, however GWS got first dibs as a preselection

    Not excited by this, however, he deserves his name correctly spelt in the thread title.

    His name is Tomas.

    Another tough nut competitor who will NOT take a backward step..

    Welcome Tomas!

    I like that we don't have to play slow players like Grimes or Cross on someone like Brent Harvey or Dalhaus or any one of the quick half forwards that usually kill us any more.

    We have a legitimate lock down back flanker or wing/centre square tagger.

    He came cheaply and is capable of filling a need. Plus he's young enough and skilled enough to be an option going the other way. Even if he's not a great kick a left foot is handy to provide balance and we are now getting up to a decent number of left footers.

    Wow, gained pick 3, 7, Kennedy, Bugg and Melksham, gave up 10, 6, future pick, Howe and Toumpas.

    Don't know about you guys but this has been a great trade period.

    Really like the age bracket of the players we've recruited. All have had a taste and couple of pre seasons. Ready to go to that next level as a player.

    Actually think it was 25, not 10, that we had originally!!

    I'd love to get Tom Bugg to the club. I rate him as a player and think he's been undervalued at GWS because of all the other young budding 'stars' over there. Also reckon he'd be a great personality to have around the club. Does everything required of him and plays his role week in, week out.

    Plus he comes from the Chris Judd stable.

    Effectively an upgrade on any of McKenzie, Bail or Fitzy.

    I'm excited for that reason alone.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
