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.

    Dees:

    Out - 3, 38       In - 7, Langdon

    Freo:

    Out - 7, Langdon    In - 12, 14

    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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
