point taken    . Plan C it is.....make it so Dees

( all clubs were cleared by AFL to trade next seasons 1st Rounders...apparently.. Seems like on the fly revisionism to me...but hey that's Gil ) 

next year's first and a third would be about right..

    Because of the Lever deal, we have nothing to trade with GC, unless the Hogan deal goes through. JM has said it and Freo are using it.

    Also because JH probably will only go home, we are stymied in dealing with another club.

    I wonder if we could get GC to approach him, with the help of the AFL to bump up any offer and make him one of the highest paid players in the game, on a long contract.

    This could suit GC and the AFL. To replace their captains leaving, with the potential best young key forward in the game. The publicity alone would be great for them in rebuilding the club. 

    I wonder if Jessie could be talked into the sun and sea being a surfer.

    If this could be done, we would be able to do the May, KK deal and possibly get a top 3 pick from GC, with them getting something back.

    Then we are looking at Rankine or Rozee.

    How good a deal could that be?

    I wonder who the other clubs that are nibbling are?

    If JH and us could shaft Freo, by getting a better deal, it would be magnificent.

    On the other hand, if the deal goes through with Fre and we get May and KK, I don't see it being what many of us hoped for.

    I can't see realistically how we can do the May deal alone and that is a pity.

    Maybe the dees need to trade out a hunt, stretch or anb along with next years first to get the deal done

    Word of May touring the Dogs facilities. This could actually force Freo's hand as they will know our incentive to trade Hogan this year would disappear if May was off the table.

    No way am I happy with trading out ANB. The guy is a bloody good player. He kicked 27 goals this year which is a great return for a guy that pushes up the field a lot.

    His pressure work for our team is enormous work horse of our team and culture.

    That would have that weasel and his cohorts shivering down @Freo.

    How do we get this done? We have his non public nomination on our side to get this done. 2019 first round pick + Sam Frost.

    simple question. why can't we use our 2019 1st round pick as part of a deal with gcs?

    i've seen posts here which say we are not restricted by the afl and some that say the opposite

    so which is it?

    We most certainly CAN use our 19 1st rounder

    We can, but why would GCS want that? They would be better waiting a year then getting the compo pick. We'd be better waiting as well because we won't have to give up anything next year. I always thought we might be getting to him as an early move for next season.

    Of course if he comes out and says he's desperate to get to the Dees that changes everything and the asking price might lower.

    so why wouldn't that go a fair way to making an offer to gcs, with some extra sweeteners?

    we must have the money if we were trying to get gaff in

    Yeah but lets be honest, Gold Coast wouldn't be counting on this pick being inside the top 10, and hence won't accept it.

    I just can't see how this will end up happening for us now.

    Such a bloody shame!

    I only made reference to the question....our pick 15/ 16/17/18  won't do the trade alone ... I sense a sacrificial lamb  if to happen.

    Hopefully Freo pulling out of the Hogan trade means we don't get May.

    Why would you not want May ?

    GC will want a better than mid first rounder....( Bulldogs pick 7 a possibility) or a late first rounder and a player. No ...Hunt won't fly

    We really don't have a player to offer

    Hard to see us getting back into this deal even assuming we're allowed to do something with our first rounder for 2019

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
