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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
