Can we trade;

2018 first round & 27 to Richmond for Picks 15 & 16. 

This allows Richmond to use Pick 27 on Naish (father son). I think this works well for Richmond. Not sure on father son draft rules. Correct me if I am wrong!

We pass 15 & 16 onto scum bag Crows!

We keep Pick 10 & gain Lever...

* I would rather give 2018 first rounder to Richmond than Adelaide.

Why would Richmond do that?

    So we get 15 and 16 and Tigers get 27 and potentially 18. Why would the Tigers do this?

    Tigers gain 2018 1st round pick in a stronger draft. Tiges use 27 on father son (they would have to use 15 or 16 on him anyway). 

    I think the Tigers will have a strong hand with two 2018 first round picks and will be an advantage to them in a strong draft in a number of ways;

    - They could up trade two first round picks to gain a higher pick. 

    - They could trade for a gun player and still have a first rounder available to draft with. Etc etc.

    * I think the father son draft rules have changed anyway and it wont work for Richmond in the end. Or the Dees... haha

    The deal mooted on the AFL site would be fine by me - our first rounder this year and next for Lever and a late first round, very early second round pick.  I think that's pretty fair to be honest.

    Agree.

    Especially given that Lever would go top 5 easily if we were to revise the 2014 draft. Something that posters quite clearly forget.

    Not only that, but if we trade Watts for Pick 29 then we go to this draft with Lever and three picks in the second round that we can potentially trade for another player or package together to get back into the first round.  Not bad, really.

    Unless Crows want to give us their 1st round (pick 16), then they'll need to bring in another pick somehow (possibly Lions pick 18 or 19 for Charlie Cameron)

    I suspect we're going to have to give up pick 27 as well. At least, that's what the crows will be demanding.

    Yep good deal all round, but will still be people who only see the 2 1st round picks and say it’s too much just need to look at the bigger picture, and we are no longer rebuilding we don’t need many picks to take to the draft we need to fill holes for the now

    We are trading;

    OUT - Pick 10, 27 & 2018 first rounder.

    IN - Lever & 19

    Wiseblood. There is only 2 second round picks if we get 29 for Watts.

    19 & 29.

    I think we can do better...

    But the bigger hole in the list is that we have no midfield class, pace or depth. Tom McDonald has to play forward to accommodate Lever. Tall defenders are hardly a gap in the list. They're there. I don't see any midfielders that can break away from a stoppage, evade, bounce and hit Hogan lace out.

    The midfield lacks pace and kicking skill. Lewis, Vince and Jones are approaching the end. Bradshaw is no certainty. It is absurd to trade 2 first round picks when we lack skill and pace through the middle AND the player has nominated us.

    Says who?  Lots of suggestions of what we will do at the minute.

    If we do the trade suggested on the AFL site, we keep our second rounder, get a second rounder back from Adelaide (or late first) AND we keep the pick we get for Watts.

    It's not hard to work out.

    We lose our second round Pick 27 aswell as 2 First Round Picks.

    I think you'll find, big mouth, that you need to read it again:  

    "There is hope the deal can be ticked off in the next two or three days, with the Demons sending two first-round picks to the Crows (pick No.10 this year and next year's first-round selection)

    The mooted deal would see Adelaide send a late first-round or early second-round pick back to the Demons."

    I await your apology.

    Instead of the Charlie Cameron pick we need to be asking Adelaide for their 2018 first round pick. They probably won't make top 4, and in fact could drop out of the top 6. It would be good if a club didn't bend us over at the trade table for once.

    GWS are not accepting 40 for Nathan Wilson but are asking Freo to give them 15-20. I wonder if the pick 18/2018 1st we get back from Adelaide can be used in conjuction with the pick to get Balic so we can get a Fremantle player like Lachie Neale/Weller or another. Not too familiar with their list though and doubt they would have much.

    As they should.  Good player and worth around the Tuohy pick from Geelong.

    Gary buckenara does a pretty interesting analysis here:

    NB: if you care not a subscriber google this and go to the article direct (note their new website won't allow you to cut and paste the text from the summary to google, so you have to mnaully type it): Demons should rethink Watts trade

    Says this about Lever:

    'The Demons are Jake Lever’s preferred new home after he requested a trade out of Adelaide and he’d be a nice addition to the backline as that intercept-marking player, which is so critical in the modern game. He is a third defender, not really a key-position player despite being 195cm.

    The Crows are asking for two first-round picks in a trade and to me, that’s overs. Melbourne currently has pick No. 10 so I’d offer that and potentially a second-round pick or a young borderline best-22 player such as Alex Neale-Bullen, who is an Adelaide boy, to sweeten the deal.'

    This comment from the comments section below the article made me laugh:

    Lever is exactly what Melbourne need. Another easily physically intimidated player who fails to stand up in big games.

    This trade works for all clubs...

    Richmond receive;

    Pick 10 (1395) & Pick 22 (845) = +61 points

    Gold Coast receive;

    Pick 27 (703) & 2018 2nd Round Pick 30 (629) = +4 to +156

    Melbourne receive;

    Jake Lever, Pick 37 or Aaron Hall (Lets take Aaron Hall here...)

    And guess what! We keep our 2018 First round pick. Amazing!

    Adelaide receive;

    Picks 15 & 16 (2 Flop First Rounders as asked for & delivered)

    * Pick 30 has the Dees finishing 4th on the ladder. I think this is overs. As my ladder prediction is more likely 5-10 2018 season.

    # I have added points from draft picks traded. Richmond and Gold Coast both gain points. Gold Coast have an abundance of 2nd round picks so gaining a 2nd rounder in 2018 is quite beneficial especially in a stronger draft.

    If anybody could forward this to Mr Viney & Mr Taylor that would be much appreciated.

    Play hard Dees!

    • 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?
