I don't think you have to have 3  draft picks, you need 3 changes to your list. For example you just upgrade 3 rookies and that could be it. 

I think this is correct also..i.e  3 changes to your SENIOR list is how i think it works

That is what I said - rookie upgrades are part of the 3 draft picks!

Yes you did say that but you also said you need under AFL rules to take 3 picks to the draft. You actually don't need to take any picks to the draft. Upgrades trades FA's etc are all ok.

Red, we are saying the same thing!  The only way to upgrade a rookie is to use a draft pick at the NAB draft.  AFL rules say a club needs to take 3 picks to (in) the draft.  Ipso facto the rookie upgrades picks on draft night are included in the AFL's obligatory 3 picks.

Will leave the semantics at that.

Anyway, my main point was how good will it be for Smith and Wagner to be on our seniors list next year.

Ok, so the way I'm interpreting all this is:

I reckon the Hanley to Gold Coast trade will play a part, and Pick 44 (currently Gold Coast) will find it's way to Brisbane.

We then trade Dunn, 2017 1st Round Pick & Pick 29 to Brisbane

Rockliff, Pick 19 & 44 then come back to Melbourne

Melbourne then trade Pick 19 to Essendon 

Hibberd & Pick 41 to Melbourne

Melbourne then trade one of Picks 41, 44 or 48 to Hawthorn for Lewis

Alternatively if we could trade Pick 44 & a player (Vanders/Nibbler) to Essendon for Hibberd that would be ideal. We could then trade 48 for Lewis and take 19 to the draft!

Eek!! My brain hurts   !!

Agree Wagner is also seen as a player who can improve his game substantially.

We would not give Bombers a pick 19 if we had it for Hibberd. Way too high and more than agreed.

I agree. It's just the rumour with the strong sources has us giving this years pick 29 and next years 1st rounder to Brisbane. Which makes me think how do we get Hibberd given we can't trade next years 2nd rounder? We shall see I guess

I think losing a grand final is a tragedy in many ways. You get scarred mentally and then get screwed with draft picks and the draw. It's a long way back.

If you have a really strong list you can sustain success, like Hawthorn have, but even they must start to feel the pinch sooner or later.  Have a look at Hawthorn's drafting over the last 6 or so years, they haven't got much out of it at all, they have relied on a big influx of top end talent and then free agency, which came along at just the right time for them.

Now the big influx of talent is ageing so they need to rejuvenate, perhaps they should have made more use of player turnover and tried to get back in to the early part of the draft, they don't have a lot of young talent coming through.

Is it really possible that MFC who have been repeatedly been knocked back for a priority pick in recent years actual pick up one from the trading machinations with Brisbane for Dunne and pickup of Rockliff as well? Would have thought that pick 19 was far more valuable to Brisbane in their current environment. Would be very happy to accept this generosity but it seems to be a bridge to far for me.

This has zero to do with WJ and everything to do with you naming your source.

As soon as I read that you were the nephew of a Fitzroy great and current AFL captain I thought he's the nephew of John Murphy, or at least that was the declaration.

I then saw WJ's post and wondered why he sought clarification, because there was no other scenario.  There was no other choice other than John Murphy. 

You outed yourself, which is fine, as it was your choice.

As for the veracity of your claims ?  I have no clue.  I hope they're correct.

You're a smart guy, I don't mind anyone putting the math together, as I gave the deduction. 

I stand by what I was told 24 hours ago, I stand by telling my fellow demon supporters and I stand by telling fellow football supporters but also doubters. 

The mail I got as of yesterday morning Victorian time is that an agreement hastbeen in place for Melbourne to acquire Tom Rockliff.

I don't get a prize out of posting it, I dont win any money. I'm a fellow demon supporter who regularly posts on demon land, posting info I got. I genuinely do not want to upset/invigorate anyone the wrong way, I'm just spreading info as I got it.

One is on a hiding to nothing sharing inside info, but I have no reason to doubt you.  

Thanks for sharing and I for one hope it happens.

Interesting that in the Rockliff thread there's some posters adamant that we're not going near him.

I've gone from being against it to rather indifferent now.

No doubt he can win the pill but if he falls under the 'no d-heads' policy I'm surprised we're even looking.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
