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 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.

    • 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.
