A top 18 pick for Tuohy LOL

This sort of evens out the charity trade they got for Dangerfield.

Fark Geelong.

Yeah, Geelong are going nowhere. If Dangerfield doesn't win the Brownlow again, they won't get near the top 4. Tuohy is a half-decent role player, but Hibberd is a better bet. 

I look forward to 2-3 years time when both Scott brothers are out of the game.

As it stands the Cats didn't have a 2015, 2016 and now 2017 first round draft pick. What if all other clubs simply refused to give the Cats another first round pick (no matter how good the offer)next year or in 2018? What would happen then?

They're digging a hole for themselves. But they sort of have to in order to get anywhere during Dangerfield's career. They can't go back to rebuild mode.

Smacks of Brisbane's attempt at a last surge of glory before their older champions retired. 

I don't hate Geelong enough to wish that future on them, though.

Did i just read right that the Cats are paying a first round pick AND a player for Tuohy? 

just about spat my arvo tea all over the table.

It's amazing isn't it!

So to use this year as a guide, it would be Smedts & Pick 16 for Tuohy & Pick 25. Now on face value it isn't to bad.  Certainly not good! But given next year Carlton will likely climb slightly and Cats drop in a strong draft, it looks worse and worse IMO.

I taught the boy a few years back and his decision-making skills back then were not great. He may be getting what he deserves. Karma?

He says the Tiger's list and Hardwick is what convinced him to join the Tiges. FMD :wacko:.

Looks like he hasn't made any in-roads in his decision-making skills then Rev!

Have people missed the part about Geelong getting Carlton's 2nd rounder back?

Geelong are backing themselves to win it next year (pick 18) and for carlton to finish close to last with Tuohy and Gibbs going (pick 20/21).

Smedts is a spud and Tuohy gives them something they don't have. To move back a few spots is hardly the terrible trade some are alluding to.

I do. Half my family is Geelong. A very, very arrogant club.

It was a day of frenetic activity on the trade front as NAB AFL Trade Radio News  reports:-
 
• Dion Prestia will play at the Tigers next season after Richmond and Gold Coast today agreed on a trade which sees pick 6 head to the Suns.

• Jimmy Bartel has announced his retirement from football, confirming today that season 2016 would be his last.

• Adelaide's Jarryd Lyons has announced he wants to play at the Gold Coast Suns next season. This move could become part of the deal to get Jaeger O'Meara to the Hawks.

• Gold Coast has once again announced it won't trade Jaeger O'Meara to the Hawks unless they get something significant back in return. The club's chairman today saying the Suns would have no hesitation in sending O'Meara into the pre-season draft.

• Essendon's Michael Hibberd today became a Melbourne player after the two club's agreed on a trade

• The paperwork for Zach Tuohy to become a Cats player will be submitted tomorrow morning in a deal which will also see Billie Smedts sent to the Blues.

DONE DEALS SO FAR:

Tyrone Vickery moves from Richmond to Hawthorn as a restricted free agent
Daniel Wells moves from North Melbourne to Collingwood as an unrestricted free agent
Cam McCarthy, pick 7, 34 and 72 move from GWS to Fremantle in exchange for pick 3.
Chris Mayne moves from Fremantle to Collingwood as an unrestricted free agent
Brad Hill traded from Hawthorn to Fremantle in exchange for pick 23

Jack Steele moves from GWS to St Kilda in exchange for their 2017 future round two pick
Sam Mitchell, pick 54 and 72 traded from Hawthorn to West Coast in exchange for pick 52, 70 and 88.
Tom Mitchell and pick 57 traded from Sydney to Hawthorn in exchange for pick 14 and 52
Pick 10 and 68 traded from St Kilda to Hawthorn in exchange for Hawthorn's 2017 future first pick, and this year's picks 23 and 36
Paul Ahern traded from GWS to North Melbourne for pick 69
Nathan Brown moves from Collingwood to St Kilda as a restricted free agent
Michael Hibberd and pick 59 traded to Melbourne in exchange for picks 29 and 68

So GWS have picks 2, 15, 31, 37, 51, 55, 60, 69 and 109, while we have 57, 59, 84.

I cant see them turning over enough players to use most of those picks so I wonder if we might be able to better our draft position?

Without being to unrealistic, pick 59 for 55 and 69 (55 & 60 if they're generous)?

Do you really think Norf will take that long to dump ?

Rest assured. The AFL will dream up something on the run

anyone think barlow is a chance to come to us? cheeky pick up for essentially nothing could do us no harm..

With Hibberd , Lewis and Melksham Joining the team next season we have to draw the line somewhere and put as many games as possible into our young brigade in Petracca, Salem, Brayshaw, Oliver , Tyson, Hunt , Viney,Stretch, etc.so too many aging mids might even set our midfield development back a bit.

We have to back ourselves now.

Spots in the team will be difficult to come by.

 Nah.

we need to start getting rid of players to free up list space for the minimum 3 spots we have to take to the national draft.  Only got 1 spot on the list at the moment. Need at least 2 more gone.

Yeah I feel like aside from a few minor moves with Dunn and maybe a draft pick of two our exciting trade period is done. It will be interested to see if a few of those stalled trades get done though. GC seem to be firmly standing their ground on Jaeger (good on them too), if he goes into the ND will he do a Luke ball and put a huge price on his head to detract other clubs from getting him?

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
