Wouldn't be surprised if that pick 5 goes directly to Adelaide for their pick 8 and 13. We then pass on pick 8 to Suns and go to the draft with pick 13. That would be a good result.

Not a bad idea to be honest, and it highlights how there could be a myriad of things happen between now and tomorrow night.  There seems to be a bit of mail suggesting we just get Pick 5, other mail suggests we get a few second rounders, and so forth.  Anything could happen.

Plus we won't know anything until the Lachie Neale deal is done.  Until then we will still only get speculation and nothing more.

    Jesse hogans management reporting that they never asked for an 8 year deal?? what the actual [censored] is going on.

    My first thought. Perhaps that invention puts the heat on jesses manager and takes it off Jesse's so called character issues. So that if they dont get Jesse this year they can minimise the damage they may have caused him if they go again next year? Perhaps Freo were looking for a an explanation to give to  fans. Perhaps someone is just spilling bullship stories. 

    Jesse's manager coming out and denying it outs the heat back on them.

    I'm flummoxed to think that some would seriously think Mahoney still hasn't a few tricks left in the bag.

    If there's a master juggler of late pick swaps it's this guy..

    I'll await the actual outcomes...not the fishwrapping.

    if that happens we have been bent over and had a cactus inserted. To swap Hogan for an older player of dubious fitness and work ethic is pathetic. In no way is May in the same ball park as Hogan. Even if KK is included i don't think that counts because we would have got him  if we had kept Hogan.

    WTF are Freo up to? They are seriously a shambles.

    Freo will be laughing if all they have to give up is pick 5, especially if they hold out on Neale and get more. I understand the outcome base idea but does that mean we just forget about the investment that we’ve placed in him? Personally I’d rather us hold onto him than take pick 5 (traded onto GC for May). 

    He is higher quality than May and that should bloody well be compensated. 

    Freo don't have pick 5, Brisbane do.  The only way Freo get 5 off Brisbane is via a Neale trade.

    I honestly can’t recall as many games being played as has been the case with this trade. It’s unbelievable.

    Freo & Bell are a mess. Do they think that telling lies will help them? Why would Hogan want to go there?

    Sadly I expect he'd put up with the odd porky for $1m  year.

    If we win a flag in the next 2-5 years on the back of a ballsy decision to effectively do a straight swap of Hogan for May and KK, picks won't matter one iota. Will they? 

    Player movement has never been more active, the landscape is always changing and supporters need to get with the times. Whilst some of you worry about draft picks, clubs like Essendon, Collingwood, St Kilda, Hawthorn etc are becoming increasingly aggressive in this domain. 

    Think for a minute how competitive the top 8 will be next year? The are 12 + teams who can make it. Goodwin and co have clearly identified that our window is here and it's now and our most pressing need is shoring up our defence as it was clearly our biggest weakness last year and was the sole  reason teams were able to stay with us during games last year. 

    My feeling is we're going to do a deal and there will be some unhappy posters on demonland. But I also have the feeling that Goody, being the ruthless, uncompromising competitor he is, wants a flag next year and can see we're within reach. 

    Here's our chance.

    Spot on, Steve.  Josh Mahoney and co. will be thinking the exact same thing.

    Morning.

    indication is deal will be done today. Me thinks we end up with 5 from Neale deal and 23. 

    Afelaide owes us one and will give 8 and 13. 

    8 goes to Gold Coast with future 4th rounder for May and kk.

    13 we draft another bolster (Oliver style)

    all guess work

    Pick 5 alone would be a massive, disheartening compromise.

    ADELAIDE ARE NOT GOING TO TRADE 8 & 13 TO US FOR 5 BEFORE TRADE PERIOD IS OVER.

    Why would they when they can wait until draft night, see whose actually available at 5, then make the call opposed to doing it blind?

    One question is have to ask is why would a player want to go to a club that is seemingly already treating him like a chump before he even arrives. If I was Jesse I’d tell them to bugger off and never call again after the crap they’ve pulled this trade period. 

    I would also hope that Jesse himself would feel in some way indebted to the club for the way we have managed him the last few years and tell Freo to give us fair compensation for him.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
