So, do we have a pick in 2nd Rnd ?

yes we do. >>> http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-01/indicative-draft-order-round-six-edition

So what would Pick 25 & say Tyson, net us in a pick ?

What would Garlett and Pick 43 net us, in a pick?

Tyson & pick 25 would probably land us a pick between 15 & 20 if we were to add Hunt and that may tempt Port to let go Wines.

Garlett and pick 43 wouldn't land us much of a pick maybe pick 40 but pick 43 and Garlett should land us Langdon you wouldn't want to pay much more for Langdon.

    Langdon is being chased by several clubs and it would cost more than that if a deal could be done.

    No it shouldn't he would not be able to get into our senior team. If it costs more let him go.

    more likely it is because they think he might be a bargain

    According to Kane Cornes, Port have had an offer on the table to Wines for some time. The offer would make him the highest paid at the club. I wonder what the  hold up is? Perhaps chasing success over mediocrity.

    seller's market, ethan

    there is no need for wines to hurry. besides may want a longer or shorter contract

    90% sure to re-sign though. mfc got nothing tradewise to offer

    best to hope he only extends till his rfa year (not long), then we can swoop

    I don't know Langdon.  I remember his name from U-18's, but I know nothink.

     

    But your see what i'm getting at, where there is a will, then there is a way.

    Actually I would prefer we went after DShiel, than Wines. Shiel is definately better in ball use.

    But I think we do need that extra quality inside player. 

    Maybe Maynard will come good, but he is also a mature age... VDB I don't know.

    It's time for some cleansing of the list, preferably Via trade than delisting.

    But we have to be in it, if we want the chance to win Anything.

    No chance of getting Wines as Lord Trav mentioned we have nothing to give Port.

    We can give them Jack Watts cardboard cutouts. I’m sure there are some in storage that need dusting and moving on. 

  • Quote

    Wines in our midfield would just be a ridiculous amount of inside grunt. I don't know how we'd manage it, but I think we could find a way to fit him in.

    Maybe the contract terms are too long, et?

    Everyone needs to get this in their head.

    We do not have a first round pick this year.

    We are not allowed to trade our first round pick from next year. 

    How do we get Wines or other players who are not free agents and have to be traded for? The answer is we can’t, unless we trade our quality. So unless we are willing to trade Hogan, Oliver or Petracca, then this trade, or trades for other good players such as Langdon, cannot happen.

    Who says we can't trade out first rounder next year? AFLs policy on this is anything but clear. They approved the Cats trading out there's when no-one thought they'd be able to.

  • Quote

    yes, the 'can't trade your first rounder in consecutive years is very rubbery

    as we picked oliver and weideman three years back and haven't had a first rounder since then, it would seem that we can't trade it

    but geelong seemed to have no dramas doing the equivalent last year

    as per usual, the afl makes it up as it goes along

    It seems if the will is strong enough,  the AFL will bend ?

    Poor old conservative Melbourne has never bent anything since back in the mid 60's,,,  when the whole world was bending things, from rules, to spoons.

     

     

    Since that time the only thing Melbourne has bent, is our minds.

    I think with Wines we'd run the risk of being like Port currently... Boak, Wines, Ebert, Rockliff... Plenty of grunt but little class or x-factor in the middle.

    They may have won last night, but they're an average side.

    He isn’t going anywhere. Said he will decide soon so he can only be staying at port and holding out for the best contract

    He said the exact same thing in late April also and when interviewed by Garry on SEN this week got a little uncomfortable and couldn't give a straight answer. He's definitely considering bigger offers IMO

    rotations mach5, rotations. You don't play all the same type in the one setup you rotate them.

    He’s great but not what our midfield ‘needs’...

    Gaff is definitely a skill set that would compliment Viney/Oliver/Jones/Harmes/Brayshaw et al.

    Also Petracca over the next few years will progressively spend more time in the midfield and he is something no team has enough of; power mid with good hands and explosive speed culminating in very good skills out of a contest.

    So keep some room for that to happen...

    I'd say Carlton or maybe even Essendon are into him.

    Essendon need to learn how run hard defensively as a unit.

    St Kilda don't need his grunt - they need class.

    Dogs wouldn't be an attractive destination at the moment, all going pear-shaped.

    Hawthorn would be just the type of team to come out of nowhere with a big offer.

    Did you see his game last night?

    ”We don’t need that” 

    only arrogance or stupidity would turn that down

    WYL, let's have a tiresome back and forth over the definition of 'needs' in inverted commas...

    Or you can accept that Viney and Oliver and Jones have more in common with Wines than they do with Gaff or other outside players?

    North want a big fish to choose them and they are looking better now than they were even 4-5 weeks ago

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
