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?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
