Now that the futures have been picked we can put names to the various picks and players that were traded in 2015, 2017 and 2018.

2015

Two trades - one with Gold Coast and one with GWS

Gold Coast

In

Pick 3, pick 10, pick 43 

Out

Pick 6, pick 29, future 2016 1st round

GWS

In

Pick 7, Bugg 

Out

Pick 10, 43, 64 (this pick was used along with others to match a GWS Academy Bid for Flynn, so I have not included in analysis)

In summary, if you knock out the pick 10s and the pick 43s as they came in and out in both trades this is the result

In: Oliver (4), Weideman (9), Bugg

Out: Callum Ah Chee (8), Darcy Tucker (27) (GC must have traded with Freo) and Will Brodie (9)

2017

In

Lever, Pick 35, Future 3rd Round

Out

Pick 10, future 1st round, future 4th round

NB Two trades took place in 18 which effect the original deal, Adelaide also traded a few times with Carlton in 17 and 18 

with st kilda, we traded adelaide's future 3rd (46), plus our second round pick (36) and we got back pick 28

Adelaide then traded our 4th round pick (67) via Carlton to St Kilda

In summary, if you include the 2017 trade and the eventual outcomes of the 2018 trades

In: Lever, Petty (37), James Jordan (33)

Out: Lachie O'Brien (Carl) (10), Liam Stocker (Carl) (19), Bytel (41), Parker(47) , Robbie Young (67)

2018 

The GC and Freo trade did not involve future picks so it is far less complicated

In: May, KK, Tom Sparrow (27)

Out: Hogan, Brett Bewley (59)

Summary of all trades (in order of best to worst):

In: Oliver, Lever, Weideman, May, KK, Tom Sparrow, Petty, James Jordan, Bugg,

Out: Hogan, Lachie O'Brien, Stocker,  Callum Ah Chee, Darcy Tucker (GC must have traded with Freo), Will Brodie, Bytel, Parker, Young, Bewley

Who knows how well KK, Petty, Jordan, Sparrow vs O'Brien, Stocker, Bytel, Parker, Young, Bewley will be, (I think Ah Chee, Tucker, Brodie and Bugg are depth players at best)

If you take all of them out

We got Oliver, Lever, Weideman and May for Hogan.  Take a bow Melbourne Football Club.

    Great work, thanks for the time and energy you put in.

    If I may add a small adjustment, in 2015 pick 29 which we traded to the Suns was used by them to pick up Joshua Schoenfeld at pick 34.

    This was pushed back 5 spots due to academy picks for Mills, Hopper, Kennedy, Hipwood and Himmelberg.

    Brilliant analysis. Beautiful eye for detail. You forgot to mention Jimmy Toumpas at the end of 2015 with Port Adelaide.

    I forgot to mention the Football Department didn't want Jimmy Toumpas to leave. What a sliding doors moment for him. I'm sad for him that it didn't work for him at Port Adelaide

    I find that very hard to believe.

    Jimmy was not part of the Dees future. Poor pick, poor development. Good Luck Jimmy wherever you are

    • 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?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
