    saad goes for 2018 second rounder - great get for the peptides alongside smith and (potentially) stringer

    Seems a pretty good get, if the bombers stay in the same position as this year that's only pick 28 for Saad.

    Goes back to the point of draft picks being over-rated due to the uncertainty. Would the odds only be 50/50 that pick 28 would end up being a regular 22 player?

    Is Kyle Langford worth a look? haven't seen much of EFC but showed a bit when I have.

    Maybe opportunity drying up a bit with the influx of new players.

    His brother got delisted from GC. Saints gave him a life-line. Big difference.

    You'd think the family would still be dirty on the Suns but they've been through a few different staff members since that was done.

    What's interesting is the Weller's came from Tasmania and Lachie was never eligible as a GC academy player, then the family moved to Melbourne when Mav moved to the Saints. So there's not really a strong go home factor. 

    I think Lachie is saying move me to where I've got some high school mates - and give me a handsome pay rise to make it happen.

    The AFL article mentions his girlfriend as a factor. Given that he’s only 21 and making career decisions around a girlfriend it may we’ll be that he’s a lunatic.

    pick 27 and 30 (for watts) for 13?

    Been waiting for something like this.

    Richmond will do the same kind of thing too.

    They'd say anything to move to their club of choice, Don't read too much into it.

    Would be smart to consider it, of course we have no idea who the club thinks they can pick up with the picks we already have.

    Might be a way to delay the "must use a round 1 pick every x years" thing if the AFL actually decide to enforce it, and would then bring up the possibility of forward trading our 2019 first round pick next year.

    Good idea in theory. If highly placed clubs are considering it, shouldn't that be telling us something about the supposedly shallow draft this year? Might be deeper than we keep getting told.

    Kim trying to stay relevant.  This was mention this morning on SEN as a way Essendon can get a first round pick for the Bulldogs.  The point was West Coast need to inject youth If West Coast trade first Round pick their List Management team should be sacked.  Brisbane and Gold Coast that have academy picks are the clubs you target.

    They might be after an additional pick to help with the Ah Chee trade, wouldn't be surprised if they were looking at getting Essendon's picks in the 20's to facilitate Stringer trade. Happy for us to jump in and trade our second rounders for pick 13, might get a decent outside mid with that pick.

    I heard that Richmond knocked back an offer from Essendon for one of their first round picks.

    Not a rumour, just a thought, but if West Coast happy to trade two 2nd round picks for pick 13, would this work:

    Melbourne: Out Watts, 29 & 36 - In Pick 13 & 49

    Port: Out Ah Chee, Pick 31, pick 49 - In Watts and Pick 36

    West Coast: Out: Pick 13 - In Ah Chee, Pick 29 & Pick 31

  • Quote

    I think West Coast loses out in that trade. Ah Chee is basically nothing so I wouldn't trade 29 and 31 for 13.

    Can't be that exciting or they would've said before the break?

    The length of this add break suggests it isn't breaking news...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
