NATIONAL DRAFT PICKS 3 & 7


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

I was pleased with the Melksham trade and at the time very displeased with the Kennedy trade. However it makes much more sense after this move. Add Bugg, and I'm personally very happy with this trade period.

All the evidence is NO.

Why do you think we are were busting to get get pick 3?

Yep. There's only one thing that can be concluded which is that the club KNEW that the Bombers would take whoever it is WE want with their 4th or 5th pick, so they have pulled this swifty

Ummmmmm...that is clearly incorrect

In gaining these selections, the Demons handed the Suns picks No.6, No.29 and a future first round draft selection.

How is it clearly incorrect?

Edit: I may be wrong but I have not read anything that states that the future trades must be the first round selection.

Mate, it is our pick from 2016.

The AFL hasn't stipulated it properly because they don't know what they are doing - but it is our pick.

Because Parish wouldn't be available.

Wiedman or Curnow would 100% be available at 6, one of them at least. Half a chance to slip to 10 dependent on clubs opinions. But the move to me seems like a move to select Parish

If the AFL have poorly worded it I think my suggestion could be tried.

Edit: Anyhow we will will the flag and it will be pick 18 anyway. Go Dees.

Not too sure why we were so keen of pick 3?

Seems like Curnow and Weid would have been available at pick 6

http://m.afl.com.au/news/2015-10-18/phantom-form-guide-update

Seems like?

Perhaps they want more of an assurance than 'seems like'...

They have one particular player in mind for that pick and the last bloke these guys singled out from a long way out was Angus Brayshaw.

I am excited about who they have targeted.

I don't know if you are right or not, but surely you can't be.

he's saying 'what if we have TWO first round picks as a result of trading for a second one - which do we have to give to GC?'

GC get our first round draft selection next year.

We do not get the opportunity to trade it down for another first round pick and then give that to GC, because we will never receive next year's first rounder. It goes straight to GC

Don't take too much stock in the placement of the players on the form guide, it's Twomey's personal ranking of players at this stage, not where he thinks they will go. Milera is likely to be top 10 now, and Essendon are (IMO) highly likely to take one of Curnow or Weideman. Think GC have strong interest in both Milera and Weideman.

Also, from the Age trade blog:

On the subject of draft value, lets look at Gold Coast's deal with Melbourne.

picks 3, 10 and 43 = 4007 points

picks 6 and 29 = 2404 points

So on the face of it, Melbourne have won big. But they've also traded a future first-rounder to Gold Coast.

So, on a points basis - if Melbourne finish above 11th, they win the trade. If they finish below 11, they lose it.

I like our chances to finish 11th or better next year.

Correct but it does not take into account the player we pick up at 3 this year.

He could be our next Brownlow medalist?

I think it's reasonable to suggest the both GC and MFC agreed the most probable outcome is for us to finish around there and therefore called it an equitable agreement

11th is only 2 spots higher but it's an extra 4 wins plus % compared to last year

Thanks MC that makes sense.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
