    Did we draw a good barrier?

    Disagree.
    We are not a quick side and have even said we were looking at outside run and identified Smith as a possible, for a 3 year contract.

    Just because we had a purple patch in the second half of 2018 doesn’t make us a quick side.

    I think most would agree that Blues and Saints are quicker sides than us and they keep loading up on pace.

    Carlton are not quick just Bs with no proof what so ever, neither are the saints.

    I don't know what planet you are living on if you think Carlton aren't quick? it's about the only thing theyve had going for them for years.

    When did 31 or 33 become third round?

    My bad.

    I saw a whole lot of 3s in the picks and told myself it was a third rounder.

    Point remains: Brown for pick 31 or 33 is a good result (assuming the only other net loss is a slide back from 26 to 28).

    We did, but we’re riding Anthony Van Dyck

    I think North are probably wanting to do the same and have more to offer?

    I am now looking forward to see what we do with the rest of the picks?

    Happy with that. Package up 31 and 33 for the bully's 1st rounder

    Hope you're right and it makes sense as they only need picks for value to match Ugle-Hagan bids. Pick 14 = 1161. Picks 28 + 33 = 1240. Maybe they've agreed to whatever the deal is going to be in consultation with Doggies on what they will accept. This would leave us with 14, 43, 50, 68, 69, 89. Sounds like there will also be some late pick swaps. So a reasonable hand at the draft. Obviously must have someone in mind to get up to pick 14.

    One can only hope on that result. Would be great to land Brown and get back a Round 1 pick.

    with the compo picks, f/s picks and academy picks, pick 31 and 33 will definitely end up 3 rounders

    In 2020 the forward line was a joke.  In 2021 it is going to just be a SIDESHOW!

    That is a very good deal - essentially Brown for a late second round.

    The forwards coach is not the only coach that has a BIG job in 21.

    The entire coaching panel do.

    Anything other than a first round pick was always going to be an absolute steal.

    The net trade of Preuss for Ben Brown is the most outrageous piece of swindling since that Canadian bloke traded a paperclip for a house.

    The Dogs will want more points premium than that - they're currently 600 short of a bid for JUH at pick 1.

    The best bet for them would be 14 + a fringe player for the 1800 pints they need.

    For example 14 + Ed Richards for 28 + 33 + 43 + 50 would get them there.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
