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.

    ... maybe something like this ?

    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

    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

    Here is a write up on Mr Sparrow's attributes.  sounds very Toddish.  pace, endurance, burst away speed, tenacious, fearless.

    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?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
