Having heard Goodwin's press conference about going to the draft this year and having studied the bulldogs list strategy and success, I believe Dees will trade the 2017 first rounder for 2 early second rounders.

The dogs traded pick 11 and a future 3rd round pick to Carlton last year and received pick 21 and 22, which later became pick 25 and pick 26. Josh Dunkley and Kieran Collins.

I believe GWS and the Suns, are after picks for the 2017 draft, so they seem the obvious clubs to set up such a trade.

Our list management has been top notch since the 2012 draft, but good clubs stack good drafts together consistently.  I think we need to add more talent through the draft as the dogs have.

I believe it is also why we are not pursuing the likes of O'Meara, Prestia, Mitchell etc.  We are not there yet, and have free agency to pursue with rigour, if not next year, definitely in 2018.

The giants and dogs have shown that you can never have enough draft picks.

    Nah I disagree. I think we are more likely to go for the top end talent.

    I wouldn't at all be surprised if we did something like this. Eg trade 2017 1st Round Pick for a 2016 1st Rounder Pick such as Pick 14 that Gold Coast will likely get off Hawthorn or Picks 15 or 16 from GWS.

    We'll know for sure within a month i guess.

    Why would we do that?

    We might have pick 8-12 next year, in a strong draft and you are suggesting exchanging it for a worse pick in a weaker draft.

    Don't think Gold Coast will be after picks. They already have 5 in the top 30 and will likely get more for O'Meara, Prestia and potentially Swallow leaving. They have stated they need ready made players not more picks. If anything I think they will be trading some first round picks for players/packages of players and other picks.

    Not saying we will or that i want us to. Just that i wouldn't be surprised if it happens so theycan get a pick in the 1st Round.

    Could involve us getting a player like Stewart or WHE back with the pick.

    A first round pick for Stewart. Not a hope in hell.

    Well you changed the deal in your second post, adding a Stewart or WHE which I missed.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
