    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...

    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.

    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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
