Talk around that GWS may be stripped of draft picks over the Whitfield episode!!  Now wouldn't that make a lot of people happy!  A bit of poetic justice one would think.

Back to the draft: they might do a last minute deal to get 2017 early picks.  I don't usually hypothesise about picks but this would be nice:  GWS: a 2016 1st and 2nd round for MFC: 2017 1st round and 2016 #69 which has draft points value and 2017 3rd round.  We could always trade into 2017 later rounds next year.

Why do it: might get us the ruck/forward with their 2016 2nd round and give us a 1st round pick.  Of course we would only do it if we had a target in the 1st round.

Doable?

No - you can only trade a future 1st or package future 2nds+ - you cant trade a future first and third

Crunch time for Hawthorn. This is really going to come down to the wire.

But it sure does make fantastic entertainment! Would love nothing more than the O'Meara deal to crumble.

Thanks...maybe some other version of 2016 for 2017 picks...

Will Hoskin Elliott for a future second rounder from Collingwood! Bargain for a former pick 4 (although we all know how former pick 4s don't always deliver...)

And Aaron Black to Geelong for pick 95 seems like a bargain too. No idea what happened to him at North, he used to show flashes of promise!

I can understand Hawthorn selling the farm for O'Meara (just) but can someone tell me why Geelong is giving up so much for Tuohy?  Is he that good?

Turn over merchant, has a crack but f me his decision making is MFC circa 2008-2013.

Maybe, i'm not sure, a pick around that mark is what Trade Radio is/was suggesting

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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
