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: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
