    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)

    Ryley Dunn (Fre), Danny Meyer (Rich)

    Chris Egan (Col), Nathan Jones (Mel)

    Marcus Drum (Fre), James Frawley (Mel)

    Nathan Brown (Col), Cyril Rioli (Haw)

    Patrick Dangerfield (Ade), Lewis Johnston (Syd)

    Phil Davis (Ade), Kane Lucas (Car)

    Jake Melksham (Ess), Lucas Cook (Mel)

    Daniel Gorringe (GC), Sam Docherty (Bris)

    Toby Greene (GWS), Kristian Jaksch (GWS)

    Joe Daniher (Ess F/S), Ben Lennon (Rich)

    Nathan Freeman (Col), Corey Ellis (Rich)

    Nakia Cockatoo (Gee), Charlie Curnow (Car)

    Harry McKay (Car), Jy Simpkin (NM)

    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..??)

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.
