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.

    This trade period is a ripper "season" of it.

    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.

    Id change the idea to this:

    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

    Pick 48 for Lewis

    Pick 29 for Hibberd

    Pick 19 for Tippet

    all the other machinations for Rockliff and that's a bonanza trade period!

    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.

    Saints have officially signed Nathan Brown.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
