DONE DEAL | Fremantle has traded its Rd 1 (6), and its Future Round Three Selection to Port Adelaide for its Rd 1 (11), Rd 2 (23), Rd 2 (30), Rd 3 (49)

That means they won't be trading their 2019 1st round pick to us (or anyone else) as the Future Pick Trading rules prohibit the trading of future 1st and future later picks.

Hopefully we get the Neale pick #5 and #11!!  Otherwise the Hogan deal starts looking awful!!

Edited by Lucifer's Hero

 

So pick 5 and 11 for hogan (if neale gets traded and hogan wants to go). Would we be happy with that? we paid 3 and 12, so similar to what we paid. I think gold coast would want pick 5, but i reckon dees keep 5 and say 11 and our next pick and get a 3rd round back :)

It's prohibited without prior approval / clearance from the AFL. 

However... if the deal was Pick 5 and the future first round pick for Freo for Hogan, and our future third round pick... it balances back out technically.

It's cooking now!

Praying for 10/11 and the pick that Freo get from Brisbane for Neale.

Hoping GC happy to do May for  11 then, plus maybe a sweetener to GC, so they can move on.

That would leave us with 5 which would be great.

Unless we can package Pick 11 with others to land May I would not accept that trade.

Totally Agreed

 

I'd take Pick 5 and 11 for Hogan.  Hopefully with Beams potentially going back to the Pies that Freo are able to extract more from the Lions, which in turn makes them happier to give us a little more as well.

100% agree. 

I would want 5, 11 and a 2nd round. 11 and 2nd round for May and KK


This has been on the cards since the start of trade week.  If the Neale pick and 11 is the deal, then that’s more or less what I expected.

If they stick to just the one pick- stuff them.

Ouch, ouch, ouch. Better be some good packaging going on otherwise I expect the Hogan deal to fizzle.

Who are Port after?

True, but given the mess Freo are in this year from trading out 2018 picks last year and the state of their list, it would be almost negligent of the AFL to let Freo trade out their 2019 1st and 3rd.

Probably Rozee as Lukosius and Rankine will be gone.

I'd ask myself the question "who is more value to the team, May or Hogan?".  That would be my starting point to the trade.

I'm not saying I know the answer but that's the starting point for the FD.

Wonder if we could ask the question of Aaron Hall. I know he's linked to North but May/Hall would tick off on two of our requirements - a big body defender and an outside runner.

Lukosius or Rankine. They're ahead of Adelaide in the draft now.

Pretty sure that's the sort of role that KK is coming to play (that tall, fast winger that some clubs love), so we wouldn't be looking at Hall.

Freo watering down their draft picks the cunning rats.

They obviously know what we will accept and are getting to that position and improving their own, by getting better later picks.

So now, how about...

Neale to brisbane for 5

hogan to Freo for 5, 11

Kent to saints for pick 39

Tyson, 11, + 39 - for May and KK

Tyson doesn't want to go there.  He's contracted, so we will get him to North (which is where he wants to go).

Tyson’s going to North for Preuss

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
