Bell is asking overs for Hill, so i would hope we get the Langdon deal done asap, and move on

    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??

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      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?
