    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.

    So assuming we take Hayden Young and cody Weightman in the draft, our best 22 for Round 1 could look something like this:

    B:       Jetta               May                  Lever

    HB:    Young             Petty                Hibberd

    C :      Langdon         Viney               Salem

    HF:     Petracca        McDonald       Melksham

    F:       Fritsch             Weideman      Weightman

    R:      Gawn               Oliver               Brayshaw

    Int:    Tomlinson       Harmes          Hannan        VandenBerg

    Emg:  Preuss            O McDonald       Neal-Bullen       Hunt

    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.

    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:

    just pointing out we didn’t use it and we have two in top 8. 

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
