    Don't know, but probably immensely better than he did in an Essendon one.

    Lol, small problem with the reverse printing on Hibberds guernsey.

     

    Put a pair of dorky glasses and a cow lick on him, and there is a bit of the Clark Kents about Lewis.

    With the Lewis deal done, and us now knowing what picks we have now got, I wonder if we are offering Pick 29 and 68 for Hibberd and 41.

    Would give us our first pick at 41, but our 2nd pick at 57.

    Our desire to use 2017 2nd means we have someone in mind around 29 this year and/or we don't want to waste an entire year of prospect analysis by JT and the recruiting team by having first pick at 57.  If we have to do 29 for Hibberd it should be possible to trade next years 2nd to one of the clubs who end up with multiple 2nds this year.

    This explains why Dodo might be holding it up.

    Dunn and next year's 2nd to the Lions for a 2nd this year? (Dunns not a FA is he?)

    They may also have something in mind for next years first pick which would mean they wouldn't be able to use next years second. We may have to wait a while for their plans to play out.

    Had the same thought over the weekend.

    Currently

    Bris - 21 & 22 - 

    Gold Coast - 24 & 26

    Nth - 32 & 33

    GWS - 31 & 37

    So a few options for us. Id be aiming for one of GCS picks with them more than likely to have 3 picks before the pick 24 so could afford to shift one to 2017.

    Hands up if you thought dealing with dodo the insufferable was going to be straight forward.

    With reports suggesting that James Stewart has nominated Essendon as his club of choice ahead of Carlton, maybe we could get involved seeing as Essendon are playing hardball re: 2nd Round Picks.

    For example we send Garland (Patfull replacement) to GWS & Picks 29 & 57 to Essendon

    GWS send Stewart to Essendon & Pick 37 back to us.

    Essendon send Hibberd to us & Pick 41 to GWS

    So for us it's Garland, Picks 29 & 57 out. Hibberd & Pick 37 in.

    Essendon it's Hibberd & Pick 41 out.  Stewart & Picks 29 & 57 in.

    GWS it's Stewart & 37 out.  Garland & Pick 41 in.

    It's not bad. Don't think GWS do that we'll,  but they may not mind

    i don't think Garland has that degree of value. Good in theory though, would like to see us get some real value out of potential departing players like Dunn, Garland and maybe Dawes (wishful thinking with Dawesy though!!)

    On the AFL site it says the Hibberd deal has stalled over Essendon wanting our second round pick (This years), and we are only offering next years second round pick. So atm we are playing a game of chicken.

    Essendon are known to be horrible to deal with in trade week which is why i suspect noone has had a crack at pick 1, they overvalue everything.

    they need to understand they did the wrong thing by Hibbo and in part caused him to miss 12 months of his career, they owe it to him to not be tools about this, a future second round pick for him given he's missed 12 months is extremely fair.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
