Saints land Carlisle, that is massive. Great deal for St Kilda, they held off on pick 5 (as a straight swap), didn't rush, now they have Carlise and pick 14. Great trading.

Thanks DN9, I didn't read carefully enough.... it does say the following at the end of the Canberra Times article though, so who knows(?)...

"The Greater Western Sydney academy product has already spoken to a handful of AFL clubs including Adelaide, Fremantle and Melbourne, who all travelled to Canberra to interview him.

"If the Giants want him, they'd have to upgrade him to match other bids," Sheehan said. "It's just a wait-and-see approach for him now."

Kevin Sheehan's comments to a Canberra reporter:

"He's been impressive right throughout the year. He's a boy that injury interrupted last year and ... he's got his body right and he's very impressive," he said.

"He's a lovely, rangy-sized kid, about 192 [centimetres tall], but that ability to get off his man with a burst of speed, presents really well, got lovely soft hands. He's one that is capable of following Jack Steele and being a draftee at the end of the year. He's your best prospect on what he's shown this year, he's a genuine prospect."

GWS might not take him, sounds very interesting!

Our "A Grader" needs to be developed from within. Poaching one would come at a huge cost both salary cap and draft pick wise, and compromise our future.

We need to develop at least a couple of our young group into top 20-25 players in the comp over the next year or two.

Genuine question, but is there a premiership team in the last 10 years who has built a team around a big price recruit, like a Judd? I can't think of any.

10000000000% agree with this.

Pretty sure essendon come out even more winners then the saints mate.

Yeah, fair call. They get their pick 5 anyway. St Kilda on the other hand, while they lose pick 5, they get back Carlisle and 14. That is better than just handing over pick 5.

Has Sheehan ever said a bad word about a kid coming through the system?

Haha, very true.

In any case, the kid got BOG for the Allies in the pre-GF curtain raiser.. so he's clearly got talent.

On face value you would say Sydney are the massive losers in this trade

But as they only care about points for their academy selections they come out alright

A win-win-win. Well done to all three clubs
 

So are Essendon going to package together Picks 4 and 5 to try and land Pick 8 from GWS? That's what everyone is trying to do... right?

Be interesting to see who they take at 4 & 5. Reckon Weideman could definitely feature as they'll want help for Daniher. Could leave Curnow for us if they take Parish as well.

I'd be really happy with that.

I am led to believe the Curnows are actually Melbourne supporters?

Carlton...because of Ed.

Curnow will get to Essendon at 4 or 5. I think we should be hell-bent on upgrading from 6 for either Parish or Curnow...both very special players that wont be around at 6...draft really tapers off.

Just being said on Twitter:

We gain Picks 3 and 10 from GC for this years pick 6 and a future first rounder.

Source - Brett Anderson

We will also swap picks 29 and 43 as well, apparently, but the above deal is the crux of it.

Welcome to the MFC Darcy Parish!

Edit - it's all over Twitter now from all the journos.

so we get 3 & 10 this year and GC get pick 6 this year and pick 18 next year? sounds good to me :roos:

Just confirmed as a done deal:

In: Picks 3, 10 and 43

Out: Picks 6, 29 and a future first rounder

Very happy with this deal, plus we can use either 43 or 50 on a trade for Bugg before the end of tomorrow.

Parish and Curnow?


Surely this can't be true.....I thought Mahoney was meant to be a dud. There's no possible way he could work such a deal, surely........

However, in saying this, we must clearly rank two players quite highly this year given I thought next years draft crop was meant to be stronger.

Why doesn't that useless p*ick Mahoney do something?

Am I doing it right?

Neither will last to Pick 10 IMO. We will take one of those guys at Pick 3 though.

Seriously, that's just plain dumb. 2016 is supposedly a much stronger draft, we are currently 15th or 16th in premiership betting, and we're prepared to risk giving up a top four pick. Is Parish really that good?

Potentially, IN picks 3, 10 and 43 in a weak draft; OUT pick 4 in a strong draft, 6 and 29 in a weak draft. How is that possibly a win for us?

  • 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.
