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. 

Jordan McMahon (WB), Brent Reilly (Ade)

Sam Power (WB), Jay Schulz (Rich)

Jason Laycock (Ess), Ryan Murphy (Fre)

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 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
