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: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
