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

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

We trade out a player next year and move up the draft...

 

We have traded picks to trade for a player. We do not intend to take these picks to this years draft.

You're batting 0.500

  • very early call on Neeld
  • Dangerfield outfield catch last year

Spanner into the works...
 

People have a little faith. We are not the same club we once were.

WE ARE MELBOURNE!


Latest: Definitely taking picks 3 and 10 to the draft this year. - Mahoney

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.

Bringing in 2 kids doesn't guarantee immediate improvement. If pick 10 is used on a genuine A grader, then fair enough. It also doesn't answer the question of how we get Prestia next year.
 

maybe part of the plan that was sold to Hogan to get him to commit long term sooner rather than later?

Mahoney just on radio saying we are definitely going to draft with both picks... planned to add 2 top 10 players past few years and now again this year (Salem/Tyson) (Petracca/Brayshaw).

So not entirely sure where you are getting this trade idea from...


Mahoney just said we plan to take them to the draft.

GNF's claims immediately refuted by Mahoney on radio, nice one you [censored].

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?

We only give up a top 4 pick if we finish in the bottom 4. Plus, strength of a draft typically refers to how deep it runs - I haven't paid attention to the draft for a few years but typically the top 10 players are similar in talent year to year and it's the depth of talent that varies dramatically.

Also, as it's a picks for picks deal the points system can be applied for analysis:

3(2,234 points), 10(1,395) and 43(378) = 4,007 points

6(1,751), 29(653) = 2,404 points

The points difference is 1,603 points, equivalent to pick 8 (between 7&8). So if we finish 11th or higher we 'win', 12th or lower and we 'lose'.

His date.

Mahoney on trade radio now:

- This was intended Howe trade. Fortunately, Gold Coast were "true to their word" and we're happy to take the pick we received for Howe.

- We will take picks 3 and 10 into the draft.

- Bugg deal will get done, but most likely tomorrow

- Club is happy to "back in the young talent"

- Kennedy and Melksham will be good pick ups


The points difference is 1,603 points, equivalent to pick 8 (between 7&8). So if we finish 11th or higher we 'win', 12th or lower and we 'lose'.

If the better player(s) and hopefully quicker improvement mean that Hogan signs a new contract then it's an improvement regardless.

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

Great question demonlad.

"“By trading our future first round selection, we have opted to bring in two players now and will back in our program to develop these players into elite AFL footballers.”

Mahoney

Our 43 turned into 46 after fa compensation. 43 was originally 40, gc's 3rd round pick.

I'm just going to meander on over to bomberblitz for a bit of an eavesdrop...

No need for the abuse Seraph, GNF is just passing on what he has heard.

Just cause he says it doesn't mean it will happen but could maybe be a possibility.

Edited by DemonOX

It's amazing how our recruiting department has been able to broker a great deal with GC netting two top 10 picks for this year - for the now, and the immediate question is how do we net an opposition player in 12 months time without a first round pick.

Seeing as 99.9% of players get to the club they nominate, do we need to worry what might or might not happen in 12 months time??

 

Agreed. Hope we dont miss out on a gun next year but presume we have our picks lined up.

Sorry but if you get told something then Josh Mahoney says it's completely false 5 minutes later, you should probably question the word of whoever is giving you that information.

  • 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.
