Plough wallace who i actually enjoy listening to has been very big wraps for our club ever since he made Barratt look silly on the Dom Tyson trade.

Most of his stuff is actually well worth listening too.

Yeah he's pretty shrewd he killed it at the Tigers.

He is and he was a very good coach, things didn't work at the Tiges for a lot of reasons and whilst the coach bares the blame it's often more complicated than that.

I dont care what he did at the tiges. I enjoy listening to him talk alot of sense compared to the NQR on here and Barrett aswell.

 

I don't mind what Terry says, it's just the voice he says it in.

Poor old Terry doesn't have a voice for media, yet his counter-part may have a smooth voice (though full of disdain with anything mfc related) but not a brain for the footy landscape. They make a brilliant pairing

I think our picks 46 and 50 will come forward quite a few slots by the time the Swans, Giants and Lions burn picks for Academy players - yes 5 new picks get inserted but more picks get consumed - all those picks between 33 and 44 will get swallowed up except the Freo pick - that's 11 picks - we might effectively sneak back into the end of the 2nd round

PS. Gotta pray GCS takes Didymus Blanket !!!


I honestly can't see the benefit in a bunch of these pick swaps with Sydney, Bulldogs, Fremantle etc. Are they just bored and doing it for kicks?

and Talia and 4th round for an earlier fourth round to Sydney?! Huge steal to Sydney there. Watch them make him into a defensive rock.

Sydney got a bonus there. Bulldogs game plan.

I think our picks 46 and 50 will come forward at least a few slots by the time the Swans, Giants and Lions burn picks for Academy players - yes new picks get inserted but more picks get consumed - we might effectively sneak back into the end of the 2nd round

Thought we might have tried to upgrade 46 and 50 for 34 from GWS. They dont need that pick if 1) they are trying to reduce list size and 2) using points for 2 academy players?

This is the official AFL indicative draft order after close of trades today: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-10-22/indicative-draft-order-your-clubs-provisional-picks-as-trade-period-unfolds?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=RSS+feed%3A+AFL+Latest+News

Something looks horribly wrong for Sydney! The picks they have are: 33, 36, 37, 44, 54, 69, 72, worth 2198 draft points.

Maybe the AFL table is wrong but it does reflect the listed trades made by Sydney.

If Callum Mills is selected at 1, 2, or 3 Sydney do not have enough points.

If you can see an error in the above let me know.

I can't see Callum Mills getting pass pick 3 as we have it.

I have hesitated posting this in case we all get too excited so showing the state of play as it looks atmo.

I will keep an eye on the official draft order and see if there are any changes for Sydney.

Watch this space!

Did I read somewhere that Sydney get a discount?

Good pick-up!!! Thanks.

The discount will cover the difference.

Ignore my prior post, folks.

In fact I will delete it.


I will give you a run through - if we go for Mills at ND3 the Swans have to meet 2234 minus 25%: 1675.5.

That will consume picks 33, 36, 37, and move 44 back to 53. If they need to fill out their list - they will do it at the end of the draft.

We will have ND4 suddenly, as Sydney is installed into ND3 to take Mills.

No brainer from Sydney to take him with those picks. From there they will have around 322 points for any other Academy players and, this is an important point, any club can take a deficit into the next draft.

"The Magpies picked up the best player not named Dangerfield while also adding one of Melbourne's five best players ".

My sides hurt.

It would be difficult to write a worse trade appraisal than that. Almost across the board.

lol. Jai Bednall you're not doing yourself any favours.

Guessing he's a Pies supporter. Essendon being in the winners also made me laugh.


Guessing he's a Pies supporter. Essendon being in the winners also made me laugh.

The bombers since Gumbleton at 2 havnt had very high picks that was a long time ago.

There'll be 50+ deals done this period, or close to it.

For the record Nudge 37. A bit of movement this trade period.

Highlights - it's over

After several weeks of haggling, Carlton's Chris Yarran was today finally traded from Carlton to Richmond. The Blues had their hearts set on a better pick, but eventually relented, accepting pick 19 from the Tigers.

James Aish got his wish to move to Collingwood, with the deal eventually being a complicated three way trade involving North Melbourne and Brisbane, as well as an exchange of several draft picks.

As part of the Aish trade, North Melbourne's Ryan Bastinac got the fresh start he was after, moving to the Brisbane Lions.

After several weeks of controversy, Western Bulldogs defender Michael Talia moved to Sydney in a trade lodged with just minutes to spare.

Carlton made a last-minute pitch to land GWS key position player Adam Tomlinson, however, they were unsuccessful, with the Giants unwilling to let another one of their stars leave.

Cam McCarthy will be playing at the Giants next season, despite his wishes to be traded to the Dockers. His manager saying that he will definitely be back again in 12 months time looking to get the trade done.

Wallace tended to believe his own hype when he became the Tigers coach.
At the Bulldogs, he was a bloody good coach. He took teams that quite frankly had little genuine class (besides Chris Grant and maybe Scotty West). Most of the blokes he had got there via pure grunt and a commitment to the game plan.
When he got to Richmond, he thought he was some kind of football genius and proceeded to pay the price. His spray after the loss to Port and his slagging off of Danny Frawley showed where his head was at at the time.
I think after the Richmond experience, he got the reality check he needed. His road back to respectability began when he apologized to David Smorgon (which he should have done to start with).

Since that time, I don't find his comments overly objectionable.

His playing career alone might have been enough to set him up as a media personality and he did a great job at the Dogs. Funny how he gets the blame for things going sour when it probably should've been on both parties.

Richmond and he went down together. They did start the same process of multiple picks under 20 they just took 4 guys who couldn't play. Just like Melbourne would later do to Bailey.

Pick 1 - Deledio

Pick 4 - Tambling

Pick 12 - Danny Meyer

Pick 16 - Adam Pattison

Pick 20 - Dean Polo

Their next draft was even worse.

Besides Deledio the rest were plonkers.

The thing that annoys me about Wallace is that he's gone for the list management pathway and working with croc media where the strength of his coaching was probably tactical analysis.

But he does have a pretty solid handle on the draft, players across the league, list management priorities and he's even worked out the academy stuff way ahead of most.

Great effort.

Couldn't agree more.

Is it possible to work out:

(a) The gains & losses for each club?

(b) Which picks have gone from the 2016 draft? :)

To be fair, Wallace probably spends more time watching kids come through now than he did when he was coaching. He did have recruiters to do that when he was at Richmond.

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
