Talking draft picks in August..  

What
What

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.

Hard to see pick 10 being enough.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
