Forgetting for a moment all the trade and FA compensation minutiae of how these circumstances arise, if you were the football manager for these clubs would you pull the trigger on these deals?

 

Geelong viewpoint  - Would you trade Tim Kelly and Pick 11 for Pick 7 and Pick 15?

Carlton or Adelaide viewpoint - Would you trade Pick 1 for Pick 4 and McGovern?

Port Adelaide viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 9 and Pick 10 for Pick 5 and Fremantle’s 2019 2nd rounder?

Melbourne viewpoint  - Would you trade Hogan for May and Pick 10?

GWS viewpoint  - Would you trade Lobb for Pick 11?

GWS or Carlton viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 4 and 2019 1st rounder for Shiel?

Gold Coast viewpoint - Would you accept Pick 9 for May?

    Geelong, Yes. Wouldn’t want to but you would.

    Carlton, yes. Not sure on Adelaide, don’t know enough of the draftees

    port, once again, don’t know enough but they prob would cos of the supposed great SA talent

    Melb, reluctantly yes, but rather keep 5 and swap 10 if that’s what you mean by May and 10.

    GWS yes, and I’d chase Preuss.

    Carlton yes, GWS... not sure.

    GC, Yes as I’d want a complete clean slate sort of like the lions did a few years ago.

    Yes.

    Carlton or Adelaide viewpoint - Would you trade Pick 1 for Pick 4 and McGovern?           

    No. Would take Walsh or Lukosius. McGovern overrated.

    Port Adelaide viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 9 and Pick 10 for Pick 5 and Fremantle’s 2019 2nd rounder?      

    No. Would insist on the pick 4 they’re getting for Neale. Port want Isak Rankine. 

    Melbourne viewpoint  - Would you trade Hogan for May and Pick 10?   

    No. For picks 5 & 10 only.

    GWS viewpoint  - Would you trade Lobb for Pick 11?         

    Yes.

    GWS or Carlton viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 4 and 2019 1st rounder for Shiel?       

    Yes.

    Gold Coast viewpoint - Would you accept Pick 9 for May?    

    Yes but only with one or two decent mature players thrown in to sweeten deal. Frost and/or Tyson.

    Hmmmmmmmmm...

    Geelong - won't play finals again for at least five years, Kelly is already 24, so trade for the draft picks

    Carlton - should keep pick 1, because in about four years time when the Blues are ready for their next rebuild, they'll be able to trade Lukosious for two top-10 picks. But seriously, Carlton people are surviving solely on the hope of some superstars giving them a core they can make a rapid recovery from, so the remarkable gun forward is what they need. Think Matthew Richardson for Richmond.

    Port Adelaide - hold 9 and 10. Just because of the apparent curve of talent in this years draft still holding very strong past this point, and the possibility of a steal.

    Melbourne - No, I'd want to end with May and a better pick than 10.

    GWS - Yep, take 11, need to clear cap space anyway after SOS botched up the list management.

    Carlton - Effectively two picks in the top 5 for 1 player who is very good but not team-changing, nope.

    Geelong viewpoint  - Would you trade Tim Kelly and Pick 11 for Pick 7 and Pick 15?

    Yes. Cash in.

    Carlton or Adelaide viewpoint - Would you trade Pick 1 for Pick 4 and McGovern?

    Yes but only just. Get more value.

    Port Adelaide viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 9 and Pick 10 for Pick 5 and Fremantle’s 2019 2nd rounder?

    No. Without being Port’s list manager I would say they should hold these.

    Melbourne viewpoint  - Would you trade Hogan for May and Pick 10?

    If that’s the absolute best on offer then yes. 

    GWS viewpoint  - Would you trade Lobb for Pick 11?

    I’m gonna say yes, Lobb is more suited as a forward and the Giants could use a quality hit out guy. Maybe trade it for Pruess and another pick.

    GWS or Carlton viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 4 and 2019 1st rounder for Shiel?

    GWS - Yes Carlton - no

    Gold Coast viewpoint - Would you accept Pick 9 for May?

    No, without May GC becomes a Crèche. Would much prefer a 1st rounder and an experienced player that can improve us right now.

    Geelong viewpoint  - Would you trade Tim Kelly and Pick 11 for Pick 7 and Pick 15? Yes, that would be a great result in a strong draft. 

    Carlton or Adelaide viewpoint - Would you trade Pick 1 for Pick 4 and McGovern? Adelaide yes, Carlton no if they think they can get Shiel.

    Port Adelaide viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 9 and Pick 10 for Pick 5 and Fremantle’s 2019 2ndrounder? Yes, if they are keen on one of the highly rated SA kids.

    Melbourne viewpoint  - Would you trade Hogan for May and Pick 10? No, I would want Kolodjashnij too if we only get pick 10. First preference is to keep Hogan. Second preference is for two first round draft picks. Not really keen on May.

    GWS viewpoint  - Would you trade Lobb for Pick 11? Every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Who would give pick 11 for him though?

    GWS or Carlton viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 4 and 2019 1st rounder for Shiel? GWS yes, Carlton would need a late first round pick to come back.

    Gold Coast viewpoint - Would you accept Pick 9 for May? No. The AFL will ensure that GC receive a pick after their first round pick next year if May leaves as a free agent, which could well be pick 2.

    Contradiction?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
