So apparently we knocked back the offer of pick 6 and GWS 2020 1st rounder.

according to whom? we don't leak, so unless mahoney explicitly stated it it's mere conjecture from people looking to fill content and airtime

    Would you do pick 26 (North) & future 1st (GWS), for 3?

    My bad, pick 6 was obviously meant to be coming our way too, in this scenario

    According to Sam Mclure.... I know he isn't the most reliable.

    I assume the Giants may have mentioned it, who knows.

    I think we'd want more than that, if they finish well, that pick could be early 20's

    Problem is GWS's next pick after 6 is 40

    I'd say we are after a player, even with such a small amount of time to go.

    Possibly Finlayson

    Looks like Bonar will be getting traded today. What if they throw that pick in as well? Not sure what else GWS have to offer, in terms of picks.

    Apparently now paper work can be lodged before 3pm (due to tv coverage).

    Then why would we use 6 against them, which is what he suggested?

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see anywhere that he suggested doing that?

    Yep, if North give one of their second rounders 26 or 27 for Bonar, then it could be:

    Pick 3 for 6, Pick 27 2019, GWS future first round pick

    Id take 6 and Tarranto

    get it done!!  haha

    That would be a robbery. GWS wouldnt even consider it. They need the pick they get back for Bonar to use points to land Green. I’m of the mind that GWS 1st round next year will be worth diddly-squat in next years draft. We should be looking at wrenching out pick 6 and a player for 3

    I think the Bombers have picks 30 and 33 from this year too. I think they are the favourites atm

    Oh I totally agree, thing is we can play hard ball, we're not here to do GWS any favours.

    If we want Green we'll bid for him. If GWS want that out of the equation, pay up!

    looking through GWS's list:  maybe Perryman?  Small backman with excellent kicking. only 21 and injured last year

    id do 6, 2020 1st rounded and Perryman for 3

    I agree.

    They already have a midfield that consists of Taranto, Ward, Coniglio, Kelly,  Hopper, Whitfield, Williams & Toby Greene.

    They've also got Caldwell, Hateley & O'Halloran also tryin to get into the side and they would also be adding pick 3 plus Green this year.

    Caldwell is the one I want.

    6 & Caldwell for 3. Take it or leave it.

    If we have knocked back that offer from the Giants, then I think that's a sensible move from the club.  It's not a great offer really and we have time on our side - we either get a better deal or take two ripping picks to the draft.  That's a win/win in my book.

    Giving 6, 27 and next years which will be between 14-18 all for moving 3 spots up in the draft. Turn it up!!

    No too risky.  And we don't need another insideish mid.  Unkown quantity at senior level also.  Pass.

    If we are chasing a player from them it needs to happen in the next few hours.

    Not sure what else we are chasing from them. Even their second rd 2020 is worth next to bugger all.

    Of course, but we may not be.  We may have already seen what they have to offer and decided it's better for us to just take those first two picks to the draft.

    If they get 3 off us, they get 2 top 5 picks

    If we're looking at a player, I'd say it'll come from the list of those younger guys coming out of contract at the end of next year, with Whitfield, Williams and Cameron taking big $ next year they might might have to offload someone like - Caldwell, Hately, O'Halloran, Perryman, Zac Langdon or Cumming, as they won't be able to keep them anyway. From that list the last 3 are all on more than rookie contracts so they'd be the most likely to move now to free up some cap, moving any of this years draftees won't help at all this year because there already on minimum payments. It's why they are trying to move on Bonar, he's contracted beyond his rookie contract but stuck behind a few.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
