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

Rance is a pretender. As are the entire Richmond side bar Martin.

Ummm, you must have missed the game a couple of Saturdays ago? I don’t think it was pretend, looked like the actual grand final to me... Just saying

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.

Yep get it done dees can then use that pick on a mid if need be

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

what's the rush? 9 days of trade to go. let the cows sweat it

Depends if we have anything else in play might need to get it done as quick as we can, but if this is the only deal might aswell let them sweat

We are trading;

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.

You you need to read the AFL site again...

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:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/melbourne/gary-buckenara-analyses-melbournes-list-after-the-2017-season/news-story/08afd8b49dedaf6938358873ff2d5b28

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:

Gavin 7 hours ago
Lever is exactly what Melbourne need. Another easily physically intimidated player who fails to stand up in big games.

Edited by binman

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!

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
