4.35pm: LEUENBERGER LANDS AT ESSENDON

  1. The Brisbane Lions haven't stood in the way of Matthew Leuenberger's move to Tullamarine, despite their disappointment with pick 39 as compensation for the restricted free agent.
  2. Leuenberger has joined the Dons on a three-year deal.

Sorry grammar police.

Make an effort.

At least.
 

Mahoney up next on trade radio, can someone summarise the conversation?

Didn't add too much new.

- We would still rather deal with GC for Howe, but now that he has nominated the Pies we will try and work something out with them.

- Ben Kennedy will be a separate deal to the Howe one - we will deal with the Pies and then see where we are at in terms of being able to get Kennedy.

- Happy to get Melksham

- Still interested in Prestia FOR NEXT YEAR but said that we do our due diligence with all uncontracted players.

And that was it really.

Nothing on Bugg?

Surprisingly no.

I will say that Mahoney didn't sound all that happy but I could be reading too much into it. Clearly Howe nominating the Pies has thrown a significant spanner in the works!

If we're as keen on Parish as it seems we are, would the club back themselves in and trade Pick 6 and our 2016 1st Round Pick for Pick 3 and Gold Coast's 2016 2nd round pick, possibly also switching this years Pick 46 with their 35?

Not surprising really. Moving up to pick 3 would have been a really good result, and who knows maybe there were also plans for other players (like Gorringe) or picks to move.

An upgrade from pick 6 to pick 3 in this draft probably has more value than any second round pick Collingwood might send our way. He's probably feeling like a whole lot of constructive time has now been wasted. I would also not be surprised if they'd lined up some other trades on the assumption the GC deal would be done.

Surely Essendon will move a handful of their picks to GWS for some assorted young talent.

Presumably it's the "dealing with" bit that's the spanner rather than the final outcome. There's no reason why Melbourne, Collingwood and Gold Coast can't engineer a three way trade so that we still get whatever it is we wanted from GC, Collingwood gets Howe and GC gets something it needs (player/picks) from Collingwood.

except the filth are short on picks

I look forward to the day i'm like the Hawthorn supporters in my office and have no idea trade week is even on.

except the filth are short on picks

It doesnt matter as they have Kennedy and Seedsman as currency (or whatever pick they get from Adelaide for him)!


Would the pie do two second rounders for Howe and we trade that to gws for a early pick. 2 second rounds = more points for academy picks

Why would the Pies do that if they could trade those picks to GWS themselves? Obviously more convoluted with Treloar involved, but they could just as easily offer pick 7 + 2 second rounders + next year's first rounder for Treloar + pick 8.

The high value of picks no longer has any meaning to Academy clubs because they only need to accumulate points, NOT high picks. If the AFL had thought this through, they'd have banned Academy clubs from trading out their first round picks to prevent such manipulation of the bidding system, but... we're talking about the AFL here. These clubs now have more currency with a hoard of second rather than first rounders.

But leaves them with no Howe

Posted this on another thread, how would you react if it came off?

If we get two 2nd rounders from Pies for Howe, from Freeman and Seedsman deals and another for Toumpas, we could then swap three second rounders to GWS for pick 8 and Bugg and maybe another pick or player like Tomlinson.

Three 2nd rounders have far more points value than 8, which GWS need for their Academy stars.

We then get Kennedy for our 3rd rounder.

For the cream on the cake, we then give 8 and 6 to GC for Prestia and 3, with maybe another player or pick coming back to us.

Probably too many assumptions there; where does Collingwood's currency for Aish come from? All they've got left now are second rounders, present and future, to secure Howe and Aish.

Clubs will be falling over themselves to get pick 8 off GWS now; we seem more intent on sitting back in the trade room and waiting for things to happen rather than creating wild and exciting scenarios like your one above.

Sounds good in theory, hopefully they can pull it off. Would the Pies let us have Kennedy for a 3rd rounder?

Yes if he keeps his head and they need cap space for Treloar, Aish and Howe.

Guys, this talk of trading 2 second-rounders for GWS' first pick isn't new.

It was posited on BigFooty a month ago, and I'm sure I brought the idea over here too.

I'm sure if the club saw it as a good idea, they'd be all over it.

If we get two 2nd rounders from the Pies then they will be late 2nd rounders

Prestia is not worth less than pick 8 as you claim. In your scenario, we would be trading pick 8 for Prestia and an upgrade from pick 6 to pick 3, which is ridiculously in our favour

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
