The 2019 Draft and Trade Targets Thread

Random Task
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Tomlinson, Langdon, Elliot plusĀ Anderson or Young in the draft is not a bad October trade/draft period.

Would've preferred oneĀ match winning mid with classĀ such as Hill,Ā Jack Martin or Coniglio.

Really hope GCS don't get 1 & 2 and we pick Anderson.

    Would pretty much make the off season. We need goal scoring power. We need quality smalls. We need marking options. Heā€™s all of the above.

    We should be loading up ok free agents, as they cost us nothing in terms of draft picks and weā€™ve traded away all our first rounders for years on end now.

    To add Elliott and Tomlinson without giving up any picks would be huge for the club. Add in Langdon for a second round pick and thatā€™s a very successful off season to balance out list and add mature talent.

    Langdon, Elliot, Tomlinson, pick 3/11&13Ā  just need to find one or two good on field leaders to boost that area and it's a very productive off season.

    If the Dees get Pick 2. Iā€™m confident it will be traded to GC for Ben King. Therefore, GC get Rowell and Anderson.

    If we get Pick 3. Ben King is still on the cards but will play out quite differently. I have two scenarios if I was Recruitment Manager;

    Pick 3 to GWS for Pick 12, 14 & a player (eg. Zac Langdon).

    We then on trade;

    Pick 12 & 14 to GC for Ben King

    or ideally

    Pick 14,Ā 2020 First Round Pick & player (eg. ANB, J Wagner QLDer,Ā etc...) Add Baker as he is a QLDer also.Ā 

    We use Pick 12 to select Cody Weightman

    Add Pick 20/21 - Ed Langdon &Ā Free Agents - Tomlinson & Elliot.

    IN - Ben King, Ed & Zac Langdon, Elliot,Ā Tomlinson, Cody Weightman...

    So potentially Tomlinson, Langdon & Elliot coming in, thatā€™s a bit of salary cap space...

    who makes way?

    Lewis - yes

    Frost - maybe

    Others - ??

    Lewis already retired, let's call that $400k

    Garlett, probablyĀ another $400k

    Jones 1 year deal with a haircut (somewhat ironic),Ā  probably another 200k

    I'm guessing we already had some wiggle room, we don't have any million dollar players.Ā

    No, but weā€™ve got players who think theyā€™re worth a million.

    But how can you be certain GC would pick Rowell?

    Is Elliott really that likely? Still be favoured to stay atĀ Pies imo.Ā 

    But he is exactly what we need

    The Pies can't afford everyone with De Goey, Grundy and Pendlebury all out of contract. That's what gives us a chance.

    And Moore. Itā€™s a nightmare for them. Imagine the dollars being thrown at JDG and Grundy next year. And if Moore somehow had an injury free year next year theyā€™ll be pleading for them to take less.Ā 

    I think Elliot will likely stay but he might get a few more dollars in the contract.Ā

    I was talking to a mate today. They really lack grunt and an accumulator. Rowell not that big but I assume could be a bit like Prestia only slightly taller perhaps. I reckon theyā€™ll go Rowell if they had to take one. Also heā€™s more of a sure thing early on.Ā

    I think when we picked up Lever we had room for another big recruit. We then lost Hogan and got May. So there will be money. As you said Lewis Garlett and Jones will free up around a million. I also donā€™t think any of Langdon Tomlinson or Elliott would be demanding massive money.Ā 

    From the sounds of it we have Tomlinson and Langdon all butĀ signed up. Elliott probably likely to stay at Collingwood.Ā

    Although I donā€™t think itā€™s a certainty, I think Rowell would suit GC more. HardĀ inside mid who will probably averageĀ 20-25Ā possessions a game in his first season, touted as a future Captain too, leadership qualities that GC need. At 178cm heā€™s 10cm shorter then Anderson but that shouldnā€™t be a factor for GC.

    No way the GC are going to let King Go.. they will dig in, they cant let a player go, it will be counter productive to there push for priority. The AFL will make sure that they dont trade King, they get picks 1 & 2 and that they will hope like hell the environment gets better so King wants to stay.

    See i think the opposite. if they think it's likely King will go as soon as he can they may want to maximize value now, and pick 3 is certainly a good return. would be a win-win for both clubs.

    Good points and i agree that it would be a good win for us Patches. Time will tell i suppose, hard to make a call either way right now.

    No chance. GC arenā€™t looking for a win-win. Theyā€™re looking to make a statement, that players wonā€™t be allowed to just leave each year, even if it means cutting off their nose to spite their face.

    Similar to Port with nick stevens.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, itā€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itā€™s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologistĀ  Itā€™s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now letā€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).Ā

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Caseyā€™s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckmanā€™s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demonsā€™ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
