Pick 3 is worth more than Pick 3 this year! It might as well be Pick 1...

Teams need to pay overs if they want it! It’s not a like for like pick as far as the points system says so...

It is a Nugget of a Pick especially for the Dees (because we have it) and the Giants (because they need it and other teams might want it)!

Have you ever considered a role in real estate?

    Thanks....I thought the same thing but as I had never herd the term before it interested me.

    Would also be useful if they listed things like left or right footed and my favourite.... can kick both feet and turn both ways.

    What Jack Dyer may have referred to as 'balanced and amphibious'.

    it's going to be interesting to see what happens

    i'm not sure we'll necessarily look to add a player from gw$

    i wonder if pick 6, pick 18 and a future first would be TOO much draft collateral for the franchise to give away in order to get it...

    if they came with that sort of offer it'd be pretty tempting

    With GWS chasing pick 3 and Geelong also wanting a pick in the top ten, maybe we could try something like this?

    Trade 3 and future second(hawks) to GWS for 6 and Caldwell (or another decent player) 

    Then on trade 6 and 50 to Geelong for 14 and 17  and hope to get Weightman at 14. 

    I also think we should give Sam murray a chance as he will cost us nothing. 

     

    IN: Tomlinson, Langdon, Caldwell, Murray, Picks 14 (Weightman), 17, 26

    Out: Frost, Pick 3, 22, 41, Future second

    I would be setting the bar pretty high for both teams. 

    Giants, if you want pick 3, we'd like pick 6 and an established best 22 player, Jeremy Finlayson would help the forward line out. 

    Cats because you don't have a top 10 pick we'd like 14, 17 and a best 22 player, 

    otherwise just take 3 to the draft grab Young or Serong and get a young gun who's going to play in 2020 and help the side out for the next decade.

    yep they're the same deals I was thinking of too. we could set ourselves right up if we managed to pull it off.

    Caldwell would be a good get, but I doubt they'd let him go unless they were desperate. would be very happy to get him and pick 6 for pick 3 though, he would add a good point of difference to our midfield.

    then we could entertain trading with Cats if we are after a couple of role players like small forwards or a defender, who will likely go later anyway. the good thing is we don't have to do anything. let those teams come at us with all they've got.

    Serong could still possibly be around at 6 too, due to his smaller size than the usual inside bulls.

    Would you take pick 5 and Buddy, if they paid $400k of his contract?

    He wouldn't come back to Melb, would he?

    It sounds like Mahoney has suggested we're after a pretty extraordinary deal, otherwise we're very happy to take pick 3 to the draft.

    The longer we hold out and the closer we get to the deadline, the more chance we have of one team panicking a little and giving in to our demands.

    Not sure how but I wouldn’t be entirely surprised to see us involved with ESS/SYD/CARL in regards to Daniher and Papley to somehow snag 5 and 9

    I heard Mahoney on MMM this morning. He said he is still on the phone this weekend. Didn’t go into specifics but sounds like we’ll be looking at splitting the pick.

    It can’t be left too late if a player is involved, as you need time to convince them and work out terms.

    5 and 9 for 3...

    Would you also be interested in a second hand set of jousting sticks?

    about time for a poll isn't it mods? to split, or not to split....that is the question.

    That would be a great idea?

    Too hard to really determine if we should split it or not without knowing the deal.

    Should we split it for a top 10 and late first round; may be. Should we split it for whatever the cats have (two late firsts); no way.

    Finally, I can contribute something a little useful on this topic by selecting undecided.

    I'm not in favour of swapping pick 3 for 2 first rounders. I'd only consider trading pick 3 if we are able to bring in at least a player (along with a pick if said player isn't worth pick 3 on their own).

    Yep ... undecided here as well DZ

    Let's just say we got picks 8 & 12 for pick 3.  And then we go to the draft.

    You're still holding your breath.  For long periods of time (unless it's an Oliver type)

    But if we traded the pick for proven talent I'd have no interest in what pick 3 actually delivers.

    Couldn't care less because the decsion has been made and it's final.  You can't have regrets with drafting.  There's no point.

    Make the decision and live with the decision.

    If GWS manage to pry pick 4 from Adelaide somehow and offer it to us with sweeteners (Additional pick/player) then it’s a no brainer.

    ”Here is pick 3, take it but leave player x alone”.

    My thoughts are if we’re splitting the pick then I’d look for a return of a top 10-15 pick and a player that is either walk up best 22 or bloody close and on the up (preferably will skill and pace in the package). Going to the draft with two lower first round picks is a lottery whereas pick 3 (while still a bit of a lottery) is giving us the 3rd crack at the best talent.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
