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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
