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.

I was close!

Massive difference between getting a pick back at the start of the 3rd round compared to the start of the 4th.


Hibberd + #59 for #29 and #68

As it stands our picks are 57, 59, 84, 102, 120

Can't say that is a good outcome.  ok for upgrading rookies but not much else

I wonder if we're working on getting another deal done to get back into the second round.  Can't complain about our trade period though ?

Considering the "experts" had us just doing a straight 29 for player, I think I'm by far the nearest to the pin.

Thanks for your encouragement though, Seraph! :)

 

It is the equivalent of pick 35 (186 points), so while we dont get into this draft until the end of the third round, I think that we can all agree that we would have been happy with this at the start of trade week. 


Damn, would've liked it if we hung onto pick 29. Though I get the feeling we're not done yet....

I am happy for us to compromise 1 draft year, and go in next year with a full hand. We have enough youngsters at the moment

There is a possibility we could get an upgrade on pick 57 for Dunn, then use that pick and upgrade Wagner and Smith.

As much as I would've liked to use next year's second, we have brought in that many kids over the last 3-4 years so not too concerned about having a year without a lot of draft picks.

We may also still trade next year's 2nd with another pick to try and get back into the 2nd round this year, who knows!

Let's see how things pan out first. We'll know for sure at 2pm tomorrow.

Sorry but I think we got trade raped

How?  Hibberd is worth a 2nd rounder, which we used, then upgraded our pick 68 by 11 spots.

Think it was a fair deal all round to be honest.

Next move should be: Trade Dunn and 57 for Collingwood's pick 47. Use pick 47 in the draft and then upgrade Wagner and Smith.

Equivalent of pick 35 is fair.

I'm not too fussed about not having a 1st and 2nd rounder this year. We've had 4 top 10 picks the last two years. We can afford to miss a year.

Why the rush to upgrade the rookies?

I agree. It's a good enough compromise that both sides should be happy

Why?

Hibberd is a very very good player, and will make a great structural difference to our side, by allowing Hunt and Salem to play wings. He is in his prime at 26. 

Pick 29 has a 50-50 chance of being a dud. 

We have so many kids on our list, draft picks aren't what we need right now. 

Good deal, and welcome Hibbo. My Essendon friend is crying into his coffee as we speak!

Just now, billy2803 said:

Because I think those two guys will be better than players we draft with those picks.

One year not going to the draft is alright by me. If you think about it, Oliver would be in the top 3 this year, and Weid would be the number 1 forward this year (if they were in this draft class, all things being equal) and we got them both last year. 

We have also added Lewis and Hibbard which is a big win for us.

Not worried about the draft picks this year, we will get who we get it doesnt matter if they dont go on to be guns. We have a first rounder again next year and a free agency period with a lot of juicy free agents. We're in a good spot. 

Just now, stuie said:

And because we don't wanna waste good picks next year upgrading players. Might as well do it this year with late 4th/5th round picks.

  • 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.
