I like it, we need the run but equally we need the experience and on field leadership. they can have their future second rounder back for him.

or pick 8 for Smith and 11

So now Melbourne have picks 3 and 8 in this year's draft after pick swap with North. Do the Demons have an ace up their sleeve for a player trade we haven't heard about?

Ah yes. The basket case is pulling aces again. Thanks potato.

HB:    Young             Petty                Hibberd

C :      Langdon         Viney               Salem

How the hell do we land him? Is he an FA or do we need to pull a pick out of our [censored]?

Would love him for the record. @Patches O’houlihan is spot on. Not only does he still have something to give a team like us, his experience and leadership would be invaluable for our team that so desperately lacks it.

Maybe 8 for Smith and 11?  That also takes the risk of McGuinnes being bid on early for the Hawks

And Frosty could be the steak knives!  Joking...

Deals not done: Daniher, Papley, Martin.

Carlton miss out on Oakley and Martin. Only bring in Betts.

I think Ross Oakley is well past it anyway.

Very surprised the Giants couldn't get a deal done for pick 3. I find it hard to see them satisfying us with the picks they have, so not sure what the point of trading up to 6 was about.

Disappointed we didn't pick up a key forward, but I'd be interested to see what list spots we will have available post the draft, perhaps there's a delisted free agent or rookie we are looking at.

So much for Dorodo's big man talk that Essendon would 'hit the trade period hard'.  He likes to win the battles but ends up losing the war.  They gained Tom Cutler and Andrew Phillips and their first draft pick is #31. 

Carlton have also come away empty handed (well they have favourite son Eddie back).

Big trade fail for both clubs.

Hard to see either team improving much next year. :blink:

Apparently we're drafting 2 kids, both going by the name Basil, with our 2 first rounders.

As long as neither of them is fawlty.

Good going

Is Martin a PSD chance?

Agree that we've done well, happy we held our nerve and didn't swap #3 with GWS.

Could also nominate for national draft

Sun's could easily just delist Martin and Carlton take him as a delisted free agent.

So we head to the draft with picks 3, 8 and 97.

Think we'll keep 3 unless GWS come to us with an offer we can't refuse on draft night. With 3 I think Young has more upside, could play wing/hbf next year.

Using 8 on Weightman seems a big reach when most phantoms have him in the 15 - 30 range and one of Ash, Stephens, Kemp or Flanders will likely still be available.

wonder who we will use 97 on.

Why would that do that when the were at an impass at the trade table? 

Even if they (and us) have no intention in taking him in the PSD they should make them squirm a bit

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
