How about Bugg for pick 50 and picks 6 and 29 to GC for pick 3 and no player back. We lose 160 points that we don't need and GC gain them. Still get the two players we want but no more steak knives.

Just to blow my own trumpet I wasn't far off on this, missed the next year first round leaving and getting pick 10 and 43 in return. Now for the GWS trade to go through.

 

“Importantly, the deal signed this morning was the original deal proposed with Gold Coast involving Jeremy Howe. We have just replaced the Howe to Gold Coast component with pick No.29 – the pick we received from Collingwood in the Howe trade.

Gotta love Demonland...

So, who are we trading 3 and 10 for?

I saw a post on one of the Melbourne FC supporter group pages on Facebook (yeah, yeah, I know), referring to a forward prospect from Wagga via Canberra named Harrison Hemmelberg. Does anyone know much about him and is he worth consideration by the club in that support role for Hogan?

His running vertical jump of 333 centimetres was in the top 20 per cent of key forwards tested,

Wow! if he can jump 3.3 meters he will be a handful.

Good quote from Mahoney:

Good trading Demons

3 & 10

Draft kids who can contribute next season. We have to win games!!!

It is taken from the tip of your fingers to the ground, otherwise he would be trying out pole vault with little need for the pole.

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?

I don't know what FMD means but it seems to be used a lot in this situation..

FMD!

 

Interesting deal.

Looks great on paper... unless we finish bottom 4 next year!

Ignore him. We could have traded a third rounder for the first 5 picks in this draft and he would still complain.

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

Am I doing it right?

Yeah that Josh is out of his depth isn't he?

HOW DO WE GET PRESTIA WITHOUT A 1ST ROUNDER FOR NEXT YEAR

Like who?

Wow - that is a big call if true!! Getting interesting.

Obviously that player is not a GC player, so no Prestia.

The plot thickens

I don't know whether to be excited or curse your name GNF!

Interesting, though that goes against what Mahoney just said...

They're backing themselves in not to. Effectively we get 3 & 10 for 6. Two top 10 picks this year. For the now.

That's my question? Plus don't we already own pick 43?

Absolute ripper deal!

The pundits are saying that this is a weak draft.....beyond the top dozen. We now have 2 picks from the strong options.

We have to amass good talent today. Not next year or the year after.

As SWYL said...we have to start winning games!

And if we do start winning in 2016 the pick we have forgone next year won't be as valuable.

Online sources say pick 3 for Parish, pick 10 for trade.

Agreed. It carries an air of confidence to me. I like it. I don't know a lot about the draft players but A) they've got their eye on someone in particular, or b) they've got a real quiet big trade on the side ready to go. Probably A.

43 gone to GC.

Sorry mo64, 43 comes in to 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.
