They totally shot themselves in the foot giving up 14 fot Mitchell first and trading themselves into a corner.

I would have thought after getting Pick 23 for Hill they would simply off 14 & 23 for O'Meara or on-trade 23 for Lyons plus steak knives with Lyons etc heading to GC with 14.

They then could have traded next years1st Round Pick for Mitchell as your starting point.

Where they are now, would Pick 10 to the Crows be enough for them to send 13 & Lyons to Gold Coast? I'm not sure....

I reckon they've gotta add a player, pick 10 and say Hartung

the Suns clearly want a first round pick and a ready to go player.

    Do any of them want to go to Adelaide though given Lyons is happy to go to Gold Coast?

    Talk of Geelong using another future first rounder in getting Tuohy. Thought they used 2015 (danger), 2016 (Henderson) so wouldn't be eligible to do that? Anyone know how this works? 

    This explains the AFL ruling:

    Have to get AFL approval. Means they've have to use their 1st Round Draft Pick in 2018 and trade back into the 1st Round next year somehow.

    They need to use 2 first round picks across 2017/2018 drafts thereby satisfying the 2 first round picks in a rolling 4 year period:  2015 to 2018.

    That is different to what the AFL issued before this draft - it seems they had not thru what their rules actually meant in practice!!

    Toby Nankervis to Richmond for 46 is a pretty good deal for the Tigers.  22 year old tall with a bit of ability and upside.

    Seems strange isn't it? Looks like a job on the run. 

    Maybe they've gone to the AFL and said "don't worry Motlop's out as a free agent next year so we'll get a high pick for him"?

    Interesting, but what about the period 2014-2017? They've only used 1 to date, and don't currently hold a 2nd following this decision.

    Yep, that's why if the AFL approve them trading next years 1st Round Pick, Geelong will go into next years period having to trade into the first round.

    Hawks must be a little restless.

    They traded their reigning B&F winner thinking that:

    - they'd then be bringing in Tom Mitchell AND Jaeger O'Meara; and

    - Jordan Lewis would spend at least one further season at the club.

    Since Sam Mitchell exited the building though, they've not yet landed O'Meara and they've lost Lewis.

    If they don't manage to land O'Meara, they would've brought in only Tom Mitchell and, in doing so, they've lost two super experienced mids (1&2 in the B&F). And they've lost a truckload of leadership and possibly respect within and external to the club.

    On any construction, that'd have to be a pretty bad trade period. A high stakes approach in the circumstances.

     

    An absolute disaster, mate.

    They're bloody lucky in a way that the Swans played ball with them and gave up Mitchell for merely pick 14.

    They have got a second, both this year and 2 seconds next year (at this stage).

    Could come back to haunt them quickly, if they don't win it in the next year or 2 they've got next to no young depth coming through.

    that zac tuohy deal makes hibberd look like even more of a bargain - he's a far better half-back flanker than the irishman.

    SOS is becoming the new Dodoro if Tuohy's price is a 1st Round Pick. Totally unreasonable and on the flip side asking for two 1st Round Picks for Gibbs.

    I think the rest of the league will look back on SOS' time as a list manager at GWS and Carlton and realise he was an incompetent disaster.

    A top 18 pick for Tuohy LOL

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

    Fark Geelong.

    Hawks and Cats have their arses hanging out at the moment

    And Buckleywood is going nowhere.

    I'm glad gcs are making a stand (also blues/Gibbs and Richmond/deliodo), teams have actively pursured players in contract with the view to nominate them without the clubs resourcing the trade. 

     

    Hawks look like they're trying it now with 10 and 48. That's all we've got so take it or get nothing which most are suggesting gcs should (media etc).

     

    I hope gcs tell JOM that they will take him with pick eight regardless the amount he puts on his head, so it's resign or go to the bombers.  It will teach one of the bigger clubs that you still need to trade, not just convince the player and he becomes yours.

    Serious question: who have Geelong got that they could realistically trade for a first round next year?

    Excluding Danger, Selwood the elder and perhaps Hawkins.& Blicavs, who you'd think would be their untouchables. Who else is there?

    2014 doesn't count as 2015 was the first time clubs could trade future picks.  So the rolling 4 years are:

    2015 to 2018, 2016 to 2019, 2017 to 2020 etc etc

    So for Geelong there options are 2 1st round picks in 2017, or 2018 or 1 in each of those years to comply with the new interpretation of the rule.  In one of those years they will need to trade in a 1st round pick.

    Yeah. But they did manage to con and stave off all the suitors for Vickery ?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
