have been told trade for our second round pick is basically locked in. Will be done pretty quickly.

Thats fantastic if true.

We have cleaned up with those 2nd rounders around the pick 30 mark -    Hibbo, Melk,  Fritsch and now maybe KK.

Seems alot to pay for a bloke with concussion issues that are now miraculously fixed but yet GC still dont seem to want to fight to keep him and has been inconsistent.

My biggest concern however is how do l pronounce / yell his name on match day! Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue

You could probably do something really creative and unique by dubbing him “Kolla” or just “Kade”.

way overs if true. When was the last time a player at  a bottom club was told to look elsewhere and you traded a top 36 pick for him.

Makes AVB definitely worth a second rounder

O'Rourke was a pick 2 that was traded (with pick 43) after two years to Hawthorn for picks 19 and 40.

KK was a pick 5 five years ago who achieved far more in his first year than O'Rourke did in his two years at GWS.

Seems like a good, fair trade to me.

KK also fits our list profile perfectly.

‘A top 36 pick’??

Yeah, the best players are always there...

Is there really any gaurantee that they're at any particular number though ;)


Dees just do the deal that gets them the outcome they want.  If they pay slightly overs it’s not the end of the world. 

The recent record shows they know exactly what they are doing.

The recent record of delistings also shows me they haven't nailed enough late picks.

King, Flipper, DJ, McKenna + Balic (both free to good home trades we took a punt on instead of a late pick), Hulett last year. I know the strike rate isn't great at these spots, but fighting for every little bit at the back end helps the recruiters. 

We've certainly done well with recent trades, but there's no reason not to even better! KK isn't easy to get a value on, our 2nd round pick probably not a terrible deal but the Suns will probably have a lot of late picks they won't even use, I'd want to get some late picks or upgrades coming back. And of course the reality is any KK even done separately will be linked with a potential May deal so I'm not sure I particularly believe the optimism that it will be done quickly.

You neglected to mention T Mac, O Mac, Hannan, ANB, Fritsch, Spargo, Hunt, Harmes and VandenBerg.

I think our later selections have been above average.

Yeah, the club really suffered by having picks so late that we had to settle for Fritsch and Spargo as our first couple of selections. Disasterous.

T Mac was a football eternity ago. Oscar might not be any good, there's a big thread here about finding a replacement. Fritsch and Spargo were early/mid 2nd rounders. Hannan was our first pick in the draft that year, you'd hope someone you like gets through to pick 46. Certainly some good later picks in the Jason Taylor era - it's a big part of why we all rave about him -  but the better the pick the better the odds of finding more talent.

I'm not suggesting we take the lead of some of the clubs who think trade week is a chance for club staff to make a name for themselves with empty tough talk, but we aren't the battlers any more desperate to do deals to get talent. Could be the year for us to dig our heels in over some deals.

I understand what you are saying but Spargo was pick 29 and Fritsch 31. There were 47 picks after Fritsch (Jarrod Garlett - Carlton was pick 78) so neither were late picks

According to Craig Cameron on Trade Radio, Gold Coast didn't speak to the Dees at all today.

Probably little more to say at this stage, we both know where things sit and we need to work on other avenues before giving Gold Coast our attention.

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • 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?
