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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
