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.

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?

 

Parish and Curnow?

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?

  • 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.
