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.

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
