So true.

 

I do wonder if they will trade 23 and 2019 1st rounder to move up order. Seems this draft will see some great player drop through so maybe not a consideration.

Still have big tickets on Jordan Clark , would be good to grab him as an understudy to Hibbard. 

Looking forward to tomorrow, not as much as in the past 7-10 years. That maybe due to the fact we made the final this year. 

God just remembered we did that without Lever in the back line too. Shite, if weeds and tmac hit their straps and petracca gets a rocket we could be one frightening team! Definitely flying over for the first game next year. And the last game of the AFL final series!

I'm definitely good with the idea of trading a 2019 first rounder for a late-ish 2018 (say mid teens) and possible swap of our pick 28 to enable us to potentially pick 3 players before bidding for Toby Bedford. Not sure if this can be arranged but it would definitely add interest for tomorrow night/Friday morning.

One additional reason to trade out next years 1st round for this years draft is that from next year we may be looking at trades for some players in which we will require an early pick for.

Im only thinking that if things are going very well from next year, we will encounter salary cap issues along the way.

Or simply our  2019 1st Rnd pick, for a late 2018 1st Rnd pick, and maybe  some small change... keeping our P28.   Some clubs with many early picks, might like to spread them out, entering the 2019 draft, with extra's ?

How about GWS’ pick 11 and 52, for pick 23 and next years 1st rounder?

That's interesting, you mentioned GWS's P-11... as i browsed the draft order last night, and imagined P-11 as being dee-sirable, and maybe getable ??

Now you post this.  Its like a sort of dejavue for moi.

Does anyone think we might package up picks 23 & 28 for an early-mid teens pick during tomorrow nights draft?

I think we need 2 or 3... U-18's introduced onto our list...  to follow thru behind our young guns, of Viney Oliver Angus, etc.

I'd be starting to form that second wave of newbies, as I've stated before earlier in the season... to come on behind our new breed.

And coincidentally, just as Jason Taylor has just indicated on the Demons website... needless to say, I do like the way JT operates.

 

I think we're in great hands, between him and Viney Snr.

GWS give us they're 2018  P-11...  & they're 2019 2nd Rnd pick.

D's give GWS our 2019 1st Rnd pick...  & our 2018 P-28... & our 2019 3rd Rnd pick

I wouldn't mind bidding on these players,,, from their part of the draft... P10 - 20 ish.

After the first round I believe the discount becomes 197 draft points

So pick 54 can match any pick up to 41 straight up.

Adding in pick 61 allows up to match any pick up until 34.

Sydney have 26, 33, 38, 39, 40 most of which will be swallowed up by 1 player.

North have 42, 47, 48, 49 and 58 most of which will be used on 2 players.

Collingwood have 41, 44, 57, 59 and 60 to use on 2 players.

Pick 54 and 62 will likely end up as something like pick 48 and 53. When added to a discount that's enough to match pick 26

wow you are unbelievable

Not a great result for us. Taylor said we wanted mids, but the quality mids expected to be around our pick all got snapped up last night. Was really hoping for O’Halloran. Seemed a very Melbourne person; competitive, leader, ball winner, explosive, hit scoreboard. GWS got a winner there.

Bytel might be one of our picks now?

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
