Pick 16. I haven't heard this one.

Thanks Angry.

 

So we give up Howe for an improvement from (currently) #24 to #16?

Horrible deal.

Maybe. But not if (say) #6 and #16 gets us something we want that #6 and #24 won't. What we do with it will decide how good or not the deal is.

And upgrade of 8 picks in a rubbish draft is massive unders for Howe, regardless of what the on-trade could be.

I don't think they will do it anyway 'stuie'...if Freo want either Bennell or Jetta then they will need to use that pick.

edit: not to mention McCarthy

If you were chasing someone (big fish style) and the deal to get it done was #6 and Howe, you'd do it.

How would this be different (assuming that this is the plan)?

edit (sorry #6, #24 and Howe)

Barrett claiming the Dockers are offering Cam McCarthy 700k per year

They must know Jesse is just a pipe dream for them

Doesn't make any difference. A player's worth isn't on a sliding scale based on "what ifs". A slight upgrade of picks is in no way good enough to get rid of Howe. If it was an upgrade of 24 - 16, plus something around pick 30 then you're getting closer.

Well at the moment, both McCarthy and Hogan are contracted. I'd like for them to be able to snare McCarthy so that they lose interest in Hogan, but at the same time I would enjoy seeing GWS hold him to his contract. Young players are becoming far too entitled these days.

As I said: it depends what is done with it. An upgrade of 8 spots on it's own isn't something I'd consider good trading, but if it is used to gain something we really want then it is.

*shrug*

You don't like it on the face of it. I'll wait and see what happens after the dust has settled.*

*assuming that this deal isn't the figment of a journos long lunch

where does #16 come from. freo's first round pick is #18.

so #24 -> #18 is even more marginal

Hawthorn's pick is ND18.

Coz they won and all...

well there you go. i always presumed it was based on the minor premiership (at end of home and away)

I actually thought this until last year when I found out. Just shows how long it has been since that has been an issue for us.

The earth is round(ish).

And our 2nd round is currently 25 because GC has an end of 1st compo pick at 19 so currently that upgrade deal would be 25 > 16

Is that a prediction/idea? Or where are you hearing that?

I'd say the voices in his head have told him that, at least that's what I'm being told by mine.

Anything else Melbourne related discussed? Any further news on the Chris Dawes rumour for example?

The Toump trade seems like one that would make sense, although I'm probably in the minority who would be slightly disappointed to see him go after only a few seasons on the list. Still felt there was something there to work with, but if the club feels there isn't then I'm happy to (begrudgingly) back them in.

The pick 16 thing could see us get balic and weiderman, forward and a mid would be a great get

Hogan could do both knees and start taking lifestyle advice from Ben Cousins, Harley Bennell, and Brendan Fevola, and other teams would STILL be interested......

When people say "rubbish draft" they're usually referring to depth of the draft past pick 30-40, not the quality of top 20 picks.

How do you know it's a rubbish draft?

In this draft the talent doesn't look that great at the top end to me.

I'm only going on watching a few of the games but the talent is in next years draft and that's why smart clubs won't future trade out of that one.

Yep, apart from the academy players, there's no real stand out mids, so I could easily see us downgrading pick 6.

I'm not just talking the mids, some of the highly touted talls don't look so good either.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
