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

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
