One of their better players. That'd be quite incredible if they traded him.

really?

i see him as a small, lightweight player - he's not that much better than someone like lockyer, albeit younger

    I reckon he'd be handy on a wing. In terms of a trade though, I wouldn't be parting with anything more than a second or third rounder.

    to explain what i heard was the Suns want more than just the Blues first pick, and he was the steak knives they had asked for.

    i wonder, if we do execute the split with the two picks in the teens that gw$ hold, whether we'll go for brodie kemp, the kid who did his knee but was originally touted as a top five pick?

    Wondered the same (great minds think alike, but fools...)

    Need to be a little bold and ruthless

    pick 2 to GWS for 11 and 13, might cost a bit more with later picks

    Pick 13&56 to WCE for Petruccelle and pick 32 , give eagles 2 first round picks for Kelly

    Brayshaw pick 20 and 32 to Fremantle for Langdon and pick 6

    Leaving us 6, 11, 38 in the draft, hopefully Young or Ash will be there at pick 6.

    O Mac to go not worth much a pick in the 40s which will go to GWS.

    We can cover losing Brayshaw and we get that exciting outside speed that we need

    Anyone else think there would be a temptation to nudge Nathan Jones out the door and up to the Suns? we'd likely get pick 21 as compensation and he's likely got one year of average football left in him, he's been a champion of the club but part of me feels this is the type of decision a really good club would take the emotion out of.

    Also getting 32 back, the guy would walk into our starting 18 and be in our best 6-10 players in 2020

    No, i think we would get band 3 compensation, he'd be offered minimum 3 years on probably 600k because they need to fill their cap, he's captain of the club and our ladder position. we'd probably argue for band 2 and get pushed back to 3 which would be the pick immediately after our second rounder.

    Look I'd love to have Petrucelle in our side but there is no way he would be in our best 6-10 players.

    A general list of players better than him:

    Gawn

    May

    Lever

    Jetta

    Salem

    Oliver

    Petracca

    Melksham

    Fritsch

    T McDonald

    Brayshaw

    Harmes

    I know we had a bad season but to suggest Petrucelle is better than some o those is ridiculous

    not sure the adelaide teams would go for these trades mate!!

    jenkins would be on 600K+,  rubbish soft player too

    stretch would be close to delisting unfortunately

    Amon for Neal-Bullen might be close. Neal-Bullen had a good year last year. Amon hasn't done anything yet.

    I thought that Adelaide may throw out Jenkins to get rid of salary cap space and he's in his 30's.

    I would keep both Neal-Bullen and Stretch if they didn't get traded.

    Gawn, May, Lever, Oliver I will give you the rest are hit and miss, Jetta's body is letting him down, Petracca, Melksham, Brayshaw, Harmes play well on their terms, Salem shows glimpses, T Mac two good seasons one down back one up forward, that is all we have seen from him.  

    If as you would expect Petrucelle improves he could very easy be amongst that list, he is the exact type of player that we need, even try to add in Brander from West Coast as well

    You're banking on Petrucelle getting better which is no guarantee.

    Plus he has not shown anywhere near enough yet to be swapped for a first round pick.

    I'd absolutely give a pick in the 20s for him. O even late teens. But not 13, even with a pick back.

    This might've been suggested somewhere but how bout a 3 way trade:

    Dees:

    Out - 3, 38       In - 7, Langdon

    Freo:

    Out - 7, Langdon    In - 12, 14

    GWS:

    Petruccelle and 32 for 13.  Madness!! He’s hardly worth giving up a potential young star in top bracket.

    I agree with you on most of that, but why  would any club trade pick 2 for 11,13?

    I like the fact you have had a go at this but no way do you swap pick 2 for 11 and 13.  Petrucelle is worth a late 2nd rd, early 3rd pick.

    Would be happier with 12, 14 and Langdon for a pick in the 20s.

    Fair enough, guess it depends on who the club thinks will be available at 7.

    Sure have been! The ones going after Daisy Thomas, Tex Walker and bringing back Watts have been my favorites so far.

    It won't be pick 2 for 11 and 13, it will be 3 for 12 and 14 once the GC compo pick is awarded. If that is what happens it is a win / win, GWS need a pick above Green to get value in the draft and 12 and 14 give us good value in a draft that has a good even spread below the 1 & 2 picks. If we could get Rowell or Anderson that would be different but once GC get the compo and they are gone I'd do this trade in a heartbeat.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
