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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
