    Well his prevarication is giving me a pain in the arse - it’s only fair that he gets one.

    We should definitely be trying to secure a mid-teens pick as well as 5.

    I would be surprised and that is the worst case scenario. 

    An option (I'm being a bit creative): 

    • pick 5 2018
    • a swap of 2019 first round picks.  Hopefully, in 2019 that converts to us receiving pick 5/6/7 and give up pick 17/18.  ie a significant 2019 first round upgrade for us.

    To me that is a good compromise between Freo's 2019 1st round pick or a second round pick.

    I advocated this same deal a few days ago and reckon it sits about right. 

    We get pick 5 and an upgraded first rounder (likely To be a pick between 5 - 10) in 2019.

    Freo get Hogan and stay in the first round of 2019, albeit at a later pick (14+).

    It’s a deal which puts the onus on Freo to back themselves to rise up the ladder with Hogan. 

    I’d be happy with this trade.

    Typical Mahoney, always flinching first. I hope this trade no longer happens as at the rate it’s going it will be a 3rd rounder for Hogan.

    Pick 5 by itself would have Freo paying more than we did for Lever. Anything on top is just making the difference greater

    How does that work - didn't we hand them our first round pick (10) plus our first round this year 

    last time I checked that is two first rounds picks - what am I missing ??

    Yes, I have also been advocating for quite a while that #5 and a mid first round pick to get the job done.  But I think that is a little different to what I proposed above, albeit the results have similarities.  

    My suggestion of a swap of 2019 first round picks leaves Freo with something substantial (our 2019 1st pick) rather than just coughing up #5 and a mid 1st round.

    Then what do we give up for May and KK? Love to keep pick 5 or do we need to convert that pick 5 for 2 teen picks.

    points only come into it if matching academy/fs bids.

    Because that wasn't the full deal, only part of it. There were other picks moved about plus pick 5 is a much better pick than pick 10 and pick 16.

    Overall it was the equivalent of about pick 7.

    AFC might have been working on the premise that MFC finish in bottom 5 or 6 teams this year - they wouldn't have been the only ones 

    On that basis they would receive last year (10) , this year (1 to say 6) how does that stack up with 5 on a points basis - I honestly don't know but I know which option I'd prefer

    The SA club swill be knocking Mahoney's door down to get it.  Crows have picks 8, 13, 16 and 20.  I reckon they would give up 8 with 13 or 16. 

    We give 8 to GCS for May.  Deal done!!  Net result we keep 13 or 16 and pocket Freo's 1st round 2019 pick!!  Happy days!!

    Pick 5 will go out immediately for May.

    So May is more valuable than Hogan ? Personally I don't think so

    Yes that gives them a chance of getting Rankine. I'd push for pick 8 and a 3rd rounder for May and KK

    The points are used for bidding on academy/FS players but it comes from an academic study looking at the relative worth of draft picks.

    It seems to be pretty close, of you think about how much you'd pay to do pick swaps. For example, 10 and 16 together are about as valuable pick 3 or 2 (but we got other assets from Adelaide, so it went down to about 7).

    If you wanted pick 1 you'd probably trade at least pick 5 and 12 for it to be fair.

    If we got 5 and a pick better than 13 then it's basically worth pick 1 in terms of its historical value to the club, which makes sense for Hogan.

    The points value is a pretty good indicator of player/pick value which is why they use it when they can.

    Personally, I believe May's girth is evidence he's a spud muncher, to say the very least.

    SA boys Lukosius and Rankine set to go top 3. Pick 5 won’t get them to the Adelaide clubs.

    Freo: Get hogan and our 1st round next year

    dees: get pick 5 and freo 1st round next year

    we then trade freos 1st rounder next year for May and KK (this could potentially be pick 1-6) 

    we take pick 5 to the draft and hope rankine is available

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
