    Clickbait from Trade Radio to get more clowns to listen and/or phone up. Probably get a heap of Saints flogs sooking that Brad Hill is 'theirs'.

    It's an absolute joke this year trade.

    They need to have it no more then a week, get deals done,and move on. 

    The AFL don't do things right, it's a shambles.

    It's all about dominating the news cycle 24/7, 365. No other sporting competition anywhere has this obsession.

    Would we consider pick 6 and GWS’ 2020 first round pick for pick 3? 

    This is the deal I'd be looking at if they are only offering Bonar. Maybe even pick 3 plus our 3rd for 6, 2020 1st and Bonar. I'd then be chatting to the Dogs about swapping either our or GWS 2020 1st for their 1st this year. The Dogs have a gun academy kid next year so will be making move to get extra points for 2020.

    We could then potentially hit the draft with 7 plus 14/15 (both likely to be moved down 1 or 2 spots with academy picks - Green for sure, maybe if we get those picks we tell Freo we'll bid on Henry early and they then accept a future 2nd for Langdon instead of this years!) and still have a first round next year.

    Surely we have some sort of deal already worked out with GWS, otherwise what was the point of them moving down to pick 6.

    This was my thought too. Pick 6 unlikely to be enough but will get Mahoney to the negotiation table. He specified top 10 was requirement when splitting 3. 6 ticks that box. Looking forward to see what comes with it. Wondering if they'll get another club involved still. Both us and gws are already dealing with the Hawks.... 

    Would Hawks part with pick 11 too get all 3 of Patton, Frost and Bonar? Would likely require some late/future pick shuffling.

    To answer my own question: No, not likely but just for fun  

    GWS:

    Out 6, Patton, Bonar In: 3

    Hawks:

    Out: 11 In: Patton, Frost, Bonar

    Dee's:

    Out: 3, Frost In: 6, 11

    Man it's too early for crazy trades

    We'd  need to include more picks. Maybe give Hawks our 2020 2nd and pick 47

    Then trade pick 6, 22 and 2020 3rd for Langdon and Hill?

    Are GWS in a worse position points wise after that trade? If so that would strengthen our hand. They really need 3 to make it worth it

    Yes, 12 & 18 are worth more, points wise, than 6. So you would assume GWS are trying to get our 3

    Yep, lets see how bad they want it...

    This is where we can stand a bit firmer

    EDIT The St. Kilda trade for pick 6 is a cat amongst the pigeons in all of this

    I'd be saying we need pick 6 & another within top 15 or no deal.

    Or alternatively 6 and Caldwell or Hateley.

    They need pick 3, we don't need to trade it.

    GWS want pick 3 to get a player in before anyone bids on Green.  Could we be involved in this

    Sydney: Get Daniher, future 3rd pick  out Pick 5 and Papley

    Carlton: Get Papley and Pick 26 Out Pick 9 and 43 

    Essendon: Get Pick 3 and 43 Out Daniher

    Melb: Get 5 and 9 out 3 and 26 future third round pick

     

    We go to draft with 5, 9 and 50, keep Round 1, 2 and 2 x 4th rounders in 2020 and add Langdon/Tomlinson

    What's this got to do with GWS though?

    Nothing it is another option outside getting Pick 6 plus something, really all they can offer us is future first rounder which really will be 10-18 or a player.  Or we get involved in other deals to try and get 2 top 10 picks for this year

  • Quote

    Pick 6 and the proceeds from Bonar / Patton trades for pick 3.
    Come on GWS, roll up your sleeves and get it done.

    Remember - if our trade with GWS is a pick swap ONLY then we can do it after the trade period ends.

    No need to man the panic stations with minutes to go on Wednesday.

    It would be interesting to see a list of assets from our end that would compliment pick 3 well enough to trade down to pick 6. 

    I personally wouldn't mind (excluding superstars who we'd clearly want)

    Finlayson

    Williams 

    Caldwell

    Hill

    2020 first round pick 

    Daniels

    It would take me 0.00000004 seconds to accept Zac Williams and 6 for 3. Sadly it will not be a possibility.

    I agree, they wouldn't even think about it, but i also think we'd be silly not to ask

    I was thinking Daniels would be a good fit. But would we ask for more? Hill only just signed not long ago, so I doubt we would get him.

    The Dogs have a top 10 Academy pick next year.

    Would we do 26 and next year round 2 for the dogs pick13??? 

    Gives us our 2nd low pick while keeping 3 and gives dog points for next year??

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
