Just said on SEN that we may be looking at Curnow or Weid for pic 3 and a middy for pic10.

May also bid on a Sydney mid from their academy but cant remember the name.

 

Sorry but if you get told something then Josh Mahoney says it's completely false 5 minutes later, you should probably question the word of whoever is giving you that information.

Yeah probably but still no need for the abuse.

If you were talking to him face to face would you still say it? That's all I'm saying.

Hopper maybe?

Curnow looks like a fyfe/stringer type.. Could get that big body player Roos likes

They are fairly different players IMO. Wouldn't mind either of them though!

Mentioned bidding for callum mills(syd), hopper and possibly kennedy(both gws), in that order. I would like this, unless Sydney bring in a ton more picks it pretty much removes them from the draft and possibly mortgages them for next year as well, will pretty much remove gws from the draft as well.

Hopper maybe?

Sorry watts cant remember. Getting old is a bitzh!!

Looks like Beats is onto it.

You're batting 0.500

  • very early call on Neeld
  • Dangerfield outfield catch last year
picked neeld's exit - bind freddy could have guessed

picked Roos early and first - potentially solid.

Jake Lever a lock at pick 3 - fail

Dangerfield and Kennedy are dees - fail

Trading pick 3 and 10 now - not looking good.

No need for the abuse Seraph, GNF is just passing on what he has heard.

Just cause he says it doesn't mean it will happen but could maybe be a possibility.

It's crazy that people STILL don't get that what comes out of Mahoney's mouth is not necessarily the reality of what's going on

Agreed

You can rule that out, given what Mahoney stated. Wrong.

We only give up a top 4 pick if we finish in the bottom 4. Plus, strength of a draft typically refers to how deep it runs - I haven't paid attention to the draft for a few years but typically the top 10 players are similar in talent year to year and it's the depth of talent that varies dramatically.

Also, as it's a picks for picks deal the points system can be applied for analysis:

3(2,234 points), 10(1,395) and 43(378) = 4,007 points

6(1,751), 29(653) = 2,404 points

The points difference is 1,603 points, equivalent to pick 8 (between 7&8). So if we finish 11th or higher we 'win', 12th or lower and we 'lose'.

The day they introduced the points system in the draft was like the day they started teaching algebra at school.

I went from advanced maths class to remedial in about a week, and 30 + years later I'm still trying to figure out what's going on.

Why would GC do that deal?

Strong hand next year? May get who they want at 6? Who knows there could be a couple of reasons. They got pick 29 from us which they've just used to get Rosa from West Coast. That could be a big part of it too.

Edited by H_T

Melksham if consistent may work and release Salem but we have no idea how Salem will go in the midfield and as for Kennedy we really have no idea what he will bring, it could be good but will need t wait and c.

"Potentially" is the key word in your last sentence.

correct silly post by WB Salems never played in the middle and Kents constantly injured.

Also according to the AFL website GC have at least one highly rated academy player coming through next year so the extra first round pick will help them with points

Why would GC do that deal?

Points for next years academy talent.

Salem played as an onballer at TAC cup and was averaging 140 plus supercoach point which is outrageous.

The kid is capable

Interesting - classic win-win.

So much better than trading with clubs that think they've always got to come out on top.

The coup of the trading period so far, especially as it seems to work very well for both parties.

Thank you.

Salem was drafted as a midfielder. He'll slot in very nicely there for us in the coming years.

Yep.

With Salem, Viney,Vandenburg, Jones, Kennedy, Kent, Brayshaw, Melksham and Petracca rotating through the midfield they will get the nickname the 'wrecking ball'!

Other teams will be too scared to go for contested possessions.

Inside/outside class from Tyson, Vince, Stretch, Garlett, ANB and Watts.

Edit - forgot Jones!

Double Edit - How the hell could I leave out Vandenburg!!!

Also forgot Tyson...

Also forgot Tyson...

He's more the class side of things.

Certainly not forgotten.

I think he has the best chance of a brownlow from our current crop if he can regain last years form and build from there.

 

Just off topic from the club, but:

What do you guys make of Carlton's deal to send Menzel back to SA for a second round pick and Kerridge, a bloke who played 1 senior game for the Crows in 2015?

I know they are probably sending that pick to GWS for 4 average footballers, but it seems like they are giving up on a bloke who I thought showed a bit of potential and x-factor, something their list seriously lacks.

On the topic of other trades:

Rosa has been traded to the Gold Coast in exchange for pick 31

Menzel (Carl) has been traded to the Crows for Kerridge and pick 28.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
