And with these two posts, the Draft and Trading board is back in business!

Let the good times roll.

Watts has far more upside from staying with us then his current trade value.

If he stopped selling board shorts, and started selling a bit more candy he might have another 2016 like season next year !!!

If Waldron was in charge of our club, we wouldn't need to free up room. He'd just cook the books.

He was also adamant Lever would be a Pie.

For that there would be 'verbals' , details to be sorted.

The 3rd, should it eventuate sounds dependent upon other's deals.

Must admit , i like Circuses :)

Who are they..?

If we can talk so openly about Lever, why not them..?

Only have info on Lever and Gaff who both should be coming. There is a 3rd player of strong interest but I honestly don't know who it is. I know Demons have been talking to Geelong, not sure if Demons player going or Cats player coming

I imagine that will be the most likely trade and whilst it does seem like a lot, I think we'd be asking for the same if the situation were reversed.

I also think it's necessary. Supporters get too carried away with draft picks and Lever is proven quality at the age of 21. He's also the same age as our core and if we land him it'll be enormous for our club and that group moving forward.

We picked Scully and Trengove at picks 1 and 2 once upon a time. Brayshaw is an unknown at this point as a pick 3. You take quality vs potential where you can. 

Two second round picks this year could also land us some fantastic quality if we get it right. There are more Sloanes and Fyfes out there ya'll. 

Edit: For @Redleg

Agreed. If we drafted a player who is as good as Lever is with Pick 10 this year or next years first rounder then we would be over the moon. Its more than likely that one pick would be a bust. Lever is worth 2 first rounders with a second rounder back to us, or our first and second round pick with nothing in return.

I have already posted earlier in this thread the history of pick 10. To be safe, lets imagine that we finish 7th next year (I'm predicting higher) and get pick 12 as a result.

Below is a list of players drafted at pick 10 one year, pick 12 the next. As you will notice, its highly unlikely you will get a good player with both. Think I have cherry picked? Try it with pick 13, 14 or 15, the results are nearly the same.

Something has gone terribly wrong with our salary cap management if we need to give up our only silky players to fit in Lever, given we have a $2m windfall (and having Lumumba off our books).

Grain of salt needed - make that a kilo!

Might be trying to off load only one of them and it could possibly be for the pick they're looking for, not the money.

Would be strange to trade Salem after just re-signing him...

 

(I thought you couldn't trade a player in their first year of contract... or did i imagine that..??)

I think that's for new draftees

How dare the Media try and control Demonland with our "honest" whispers and "heart warming" enthusiasm.

those worried about the dollar$$$$

This puts it in perspective

Chris Dawes (2013) - Signed on for $600K per year - was Hopeless

Jake Melksham (2016) - Signed on for $600K per year - Serviceable especially late 2017

Michael Hibberd (2017) - Signed on for $650K per year - Gun

Mitch Clarke (2012) - Signed on for $800K per year - Couldnt get on the park

Jake Lever (2018) - Potentially signing for $850K per year - AA with a lot of upside

Bring Lever on $900K everyday of the week for me please!!!!!!

He's on his way and the dollars are totally in line with what he deserves Picks 10 and 27 are off to Adelaide

If Melbourne is interested in a player from Geelong, my inkling tells me Mark Blicavs.

Blicavs can play midfield/ruck. 198cm and 100kg. Very good runner and tackles. Big body and difficult match up at centre bounces/clearances.

V.Good player and is exactly the type of player we need...

With Stringer and Ablett wanting to go to Geelong I am confident this could be on the cards. Geelong need to land draft picks to make this happen.

3-way trade.

Blicavs and Pick 33 to the Dees, Watts and Pick 20 to the Dogs, Stringer and Pick 27 to the Cats. 

I can see the Dees landing Lever, Blicavs and Gaff. That would be the best trade week ever...

Not if we give up jack watts who I think is a more valuable player to us than gaff or Blicavs. But yes otherwise I take your point

I am hearing you. Hard to trade a player out especially Watts. I am being a realist.

Watts wasnt picked for season opener and dropped later in the season. I thought he was a bit lucky to get back in the side when he did. 

If I had choice from Gaff, Watts and Blicavs. 

I would take Blicavs hands down.

Motlop will end up at North. Maybe Port.

Melbourne surely wouldnt be stupid enough.

Was this the guy who said a few weeks back that Hogan was home sick and was thinking of going home and that Freo are very interested in him? If it is him then i would not even bother with the dribble that comes out of this guy.

This is the same Brian Waldron who said Lever was going to the Pies.

PS. Sorry Demon 77, didn't see that you had posted this already.

That is insane. Anyone with even half a brain would take Blicavs last of those three.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
