Dees Trade Pick 6 and 2016 1st round for Picks 3 and 10

SEN just reported this trade with GCS.

Maybe just put spanner in works for Essendon with Picks 4 & 5.

 

Great news. Probably the biggest and most important trade we have done in the whole period.

In my opinion, this is the best deal we may ever have done besides Farmer for Phil Gilbert!

Up there with Tyson/Salem deal too.. Who's hating on Mahoney now???

The full story from the club http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2015-10-21/dees-secure-picks-no3-and-no10"It means Melbourne now has picks No.3, No.10, No.43, No.46 and No.50 in this year’s draft, as opposed to No.6, No.29, No.46, No.50 and No.64",

Not to mention the player trades.

Agree with Mahoney - it is a great deal!

So apparently we didn't get screw-ed by Howe leaving for the pies not GCS. Mahoney says: “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.

Depending on who is available next year and how well we finish, this could either be a huge win or a epic failure.

As long as they have done their due diligence, im happy for the club to take a punt.

 

This should silence a few.

Nice work Dees FD.

Wow, pleasantly surprised. Great deal.


I like it. Makes finishing higher next season even more important now. Imagine if we finished last and meant we were coughing up pick 1, but obviously, hopefully, that won't happen.

it all depends on where you think we will finish next year.

We may have given up a pick 6, 9 and 29 for 3,10, 44

If we have another bad year we could be giving up a pick 6, 2 and 29.

I think Josh Mahoney may now be owed a few apologies!

Terrible deal. How the [censored] do we expect to get Prestia now!?!?!?

I think pick 3 looks like Parish. I wonder who will be in our sights at pick 10?

Worry about that next year. We have to fix the here and now.

We could trade our 2017 first round pick for him. Or trade in another 1st rounder and on-trade it to GCS. I'm sure the club knows what it's doing.

Trade a first round pick for 2017 picks?

So at this stage, Parish is looking likely at pick 3. Any ideas towards who pick 10 is intended for?

Could be Parish or Curnow at 3.

Weideman still a chance at 10, Mathieson around the mark. maybe even Tucker if we look at injecting a bit of pace off half back into the wing.

I hope we climb quickly next year, because I rate next year's crop VERY highly.

 

“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.

Is it possible that we use some of these highh draft pick numbers to go after Prestia again for 2016?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
