Aka Jake Lever?

Kid from the draft? (any draft watchers out there able to put forward likely prospects?)

Traded for other pick(s) and/or player(s)?

    Definitely need to take midfielder with this pick. One who kicks more than handballs would be a bonus.

    pacey outside mid with good footskils ala josh kelly please

    I will second that as we need to draft a good mid if we cant get one from elsewhere.

    I would rather send a player (take you pick out of Watts, Salem, Tyson,, etc) and if needed and a 2nd rounder to Adelaide for Lever.

    Pick 10 for Lever, straight swap.

    Tell Adelaide to go to hell if they ask for more.

    This of course assumes Lever wants to come here and never play finals ever again.

    There's smoke here from my cheroot but no fire left in the belly....pick 10 and Watts to Brisbane for pick 1 and we get that gun ... Rayner.

    Frost and Stretch to Adelaide for Lever

    Next years first rounder and Spencer to Giants for Kelly

    Can we open the Trade and Draft board yet?

    Here's my thoughts on realistic options that IMO would improve us.

    - Trade pick 10 for Lever.

    - We try to get Zaharakis as a free agent. He costs us nothing pick-wise. He's had a great year and might win the Essendon BnF for the second time. He provides run, skill and another goal scoring option. He still has 3-4 years left in him so would be useful.

    - Shop both Tyson and Salem around for first round picks. If we can get a late first round pick for either of them I would take it. Tyson can accumulate but is wasteful. Salem has skill but just can't string it together and got himself suspended twice this year for being stupid and reckless.

    - If Frost wants to leave as rumoured, he either goes as part of the trade with Adelaide for Lever OR we package him with the 1st round pick we get for either Tyson or Salem and try to upgrade that first round pick (with maybe some late picks being shuffled in our favour). He would have value to some clubs who need key defenders in a hurry such as Collingwood, Freo, Saints, Hawks, Brisbane etc. 

    - We then take a decent first round pick to the draft to try and find a good classy quick hard running midfielder in the Kelly/Shiel mould OR trade it for a good midfielder who becomes available. 

    So end result is to lose Frost and either Tyson or Salem
    We gain Lever.
    We either gain a good established mid or draft one of the best young mids we can get our hands on.
    We gain Zaharakis.

    Those changes make us better IMO.

    Adelaide played it well vs Weagles to ensure they got a higher pick for Lever...

    Don't want Lever if it is on 900k as has been reported. Would prefer to take pick 10 to the draft.

    Lochie O'brien would be my pick at 10 despite his reportedly disappointing season. Is a good kick of the football and moves nicely.

     

    Other players that I'd imagine would be in the discussion would be Hunter Clark (very clean hands and a nice mover, but an inconsistent kick) and Jaidyn Stephenson (I can't make my mind up about him but has had some big games).

     

    It must be said, Taylor's record with pick 9 isn't the greatest, so in that regard I wouldn't be that unhappy to trade the pick.

    Hard to see pick 10 being enough.

    You're probably right, but they may have their eye on a player available around 10...

    No club would want a player from our list, maybe the filth? They can go and join those other two spuds over there.

    If pick 10 isn't enough then we look for some one else. Pick 10 is more then enough for Lever.

    I cannot see anyone giving a first round pick for a couple of demon also rans.

    Omg, these posts should be banned. Watts/Frost/Spencer and Stretch are all fringe players. A bunch of fringe players doesn't accumulate value!!!  "Oh, how about we go Watts, Frost, Spencer and Stretch for Josh Kelly?  Seriously, what are you smoking! 

    Apologies if you are 10 years old.

    How about TMac for Lever. We get a quality backman and Tom will give us a minimum of 2 goals from turnovers each time we play Adelaide. We win in the forward half and win in the back half with one trade.

  • Quote

    Well this is a pleasant change.

    The first serious drafting conversation taking place on 28th September.

  • Quote

    Really hoping we take pick 10 to the draft. Lochie obrien should definitely be there and looks a player, think that Stephenson will be gone early, around 7.  Would love for Higgins to slip our way, Jeffry would surely love some competition/company as roving forward up there and Higgins has some quality tricks. Can run quality mid rotations as well. Quite happy with Obrien on a wing if we can't steal Higgins, but I wouldn't really love some added firepower close to goals. Just a bit of future planning.

    You assume:

    1 Lever wants to join us

    2 Adelaide would relinquish him for pick 10

    3 Zaharakis would want to leave a finals playing team to come to one that isn't up to getting there

    I'd consider Aaron hall who I think In a better side with some real development coaches could be a seriously good outside mid. 

    Hed probably cost us our second rounder which is happily part with to land him. 

    We clearly lack a key back, and speed and kicking skills through the middle

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
