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).

And what a contribution it is DZ!!! Made my weekend you did!

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: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
