NATIONAL DRAFT PICKS 3 & 7

[Lucifers Hero 39,796]

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.

[Chris 2,892]

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

[gwsampso 49]

Great Trade

[Tolstoys Nudge 1,658]

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???

[KingDingAling 3,758]

Lose 6, 29 and a 2016 round 1 pick... Gain 3, 10 and 44

[Lucifers Hero 39,796]

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.

[Seraph 1,824]

YES

Also move this to the trade board

[ben russell 764]

This should silence a few.

Nice work Dees FD.

[praha 11,240]

Wow, pleasantly surprised. Great deal.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

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.

[mrtwister 652]

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.

[Deeoldfart 8,032]

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

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

[Forest Demon 4,681]

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

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

This is fantastic. I would love to be a fly on the wall at Essendon right now.

[DSP 1,488]

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

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,734]

2017 first round pick?

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Now I'm suddenly interested in the top picks in the draft.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

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?

[Demon Jack 6,909]

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

[ChaserJ 5,096]

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

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.

[Maldonboy38 6,403]

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