If we don't split the pick with gws could we trade a future first and our second rounder for pick 9 (gws has Essendon pick). Gws Do it so they don't have to use a high pick on matching a green bid and we do it to get 2 quality young guns on the list this year. We are gambling on our self to finish higher next year. Just thinking outside the box

    I honestly think that a trade involving Pick 3 will happen on the last day. I say this because there are several teams that want our pick for various different reasons. I imagine we'll be negotiating with most clubs to get the best outcome possible. We should win this trade because of the high amount of interest involved. GWS want it, West Coast may need it, Freo may like it, and so could Essendon.

    Edit: Personally, I think Essendon would rather take Picks 5 and 9 to the draft. If they get them.

    Your forgetting the dedoro factor

    I’m surprised that something that smells so much like A rs e hole (and starts with ‘D’) got through the filters here...but I know what you mean!  He certainly has an overblown sense of worth....

    Seems the most enticing for us if that eventuated. We would have to add to that deal though, maybe pick 22 if we can use our future second for Langdon. Bombers would be asking for our pick 3 and future first instead I'd imagine, but even then I'm not convinced the would prefer that to 5 and 9.

    Why would Essendon want pick 3 any more than we do?

    Exactly. I can't see a 'split' scenario that would be likely as it currently stands. Will be interesting to see how this unfolds though.

    We have secret info that picks 3-15 is an even talentpool and no other club knows it?‍♂️

    In the end, GWS will have Pick 3. 

    I’m hoping we trade it to GC for Ben King and then GC on trade to GWS...

    Terry got Jack Riewoldt after splitting a pick.

    On the other hand we missed out on Kelly.

    Quoted from my posted in another thread.

    "GWS finishing higher than expected makes the pick split a bad option. Mahoney said on radio today that Pick 3 is on the table if we received an offer of two top 10 picks. If that's what we're demanding, 11 and 18 won't cut it. If we can get one or two top 10 picks it'd be worth it though. Would love to land say Flanders and a Stephens or Weightmann.

    Regardless, I'm happy we're going to be drafting in the first round again this year. It's been too long and has contributed to our massive drop off."

    I can't see that article linked either, but I'm assuming it has excerpt from Mahoneys interview this morning where he stated two top 10 picks would be value for splitting pick 3.

    I want Ash and Stephens. Getting involved in Daniher talks and securing 5 and 9 would land us both of them. Not sure how we get it done, we’d have to sacrifice several other picks going out as well

    I don’t understand the dislike for Mahoney. He worked the loophole which landed us Clarrie. For that I am eternally grateful

    What loophole was that? I know we picked the Swans Academy player (Mills?) and the Swans matched the offer so we then picked Clarrie. I don’t class that as a loophole though.

    Suns want Billy Stretch? Pick 3 + Stretch for Pick 2. Gets Billy where he wants to go, They get mature talent and for only a one pick downgrade. Make it happen Dees. Go [censored] yourselves AFL.

    dude that's the most ridiculous post I think I've ever read on demonland.  and that's saying something.

    stretch has basically no currency yet you think he is worthy of a 1 pick upgrade in the top 5. lol. Yes, he is worth an upgrade. An upgrade from 75 to 74 perhaps.  geez, I hate when school holidays are on.

    explain to me why essendon would do that?  they lose a top 10 pick just to go from 5 to 3? crazy talk.

    Crazy talk, indeed.  Would happen if they really wanted someone and didnt think their pick (which will probably slide at least one place) would get them.  Who knows?  No one else appears to have enough value to split the pick, these guys might just, and Dodoro is not known for rationality...

    just a hunch, but i get the feeling the reason we want to split the pick, is  we are keen on weightman, more than anyone rated above him and i hope this is what happens, i also hope the club is keen on gould, if we get weightman and gould and it costs us pick 3 i say do it.

    lets just say we end up if picks 9, 10, 22, 40

    9. weightman

    10. gould

    22.  one of worral, tahney, day, or taylor

    40. pickett

    we take the best 2 small forwards, a skilled medium forward and a aggressive good kick back flanker

    jetta may gould

    salem lever jordon

    langdon brayshaw petracca

    worral mcdonald elliot

    weightman weid fritz

    gawn oliver harmes

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’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 psychologist  It’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 let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed 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).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’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 ruckman’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 Demons’ 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?
