    I don’t really follow much of the draft stuff but what are the chances we get both Green & Kemp ?

    I would say extremely low.

    We could potentially draft both if we wanted to as it appears that GWS would not match our bid on Green in favour of Jackson. However it’s sounding like we will be taking Jackson at pick 3 and not bidding on Green.

    At pick 10 it’s sounding as though we are most interested in one of Young/Ash/Stephens/Weightman. If we split pick 10 then we might be a chance of landing Kemp but personally I think he will be out of our reach if we were to do that.

    I for one would be very pleased with Green and Kemp but just don’t see it happening.

    Both just sound like they have so much potential IMO. Plus do we really need Jackson considering we have Max ?

    Not even sure if this is possible of if it favours us but ...

    Let's say Dees nominate Green with pick 3.

    Giants come to us and say we will give you pick 4 and a future second round for pick 3.

    We say yes, then giants get jackson at 3 and green at 4 (as dees nominate him again at pick 4).

    Dees pick then becomes pick 5.

    Dees nominate Henry.

    Freo come to us and say we give you picks 8 and 9 (after green match) for pick 5 and 28 (i know they gave it to us so it can be that pick, but lets pretend to keep it 'easy').

    We say thanks for that.

    Freo pick say Aish at 5.

    Swans pick Flanders at 6.

    Adelaide pick McAsey at 7.

    Dees nominate Henry again - matched by Freo at pick 8.

    Dees then have picks 9, 10 and 12.

    Presumably dees would take Young with pick 9.

    Dees could then do a trade with the Cats for example they have two future first round picks WCE and Cats.

    Dees could trade 10 for 16 and a future first round picks.

    Meaning dees would go from picks 3, 10 and 30 (after matching picks) - to picks 9, 12, 16 and get a future first and second round pick.

    As I said, not sure if that is even a good deal or if its even possible,  but if possible dees could screw up a lot of clubs plans.

    He’s just speculating at this stage, a poor mans Grand New Flag minus the riddles, if you will. It’ll take some sort of trade whisperer to beat my strike rate of 100.00.

    Edit: Confirmed, he’s a fraud. The Herald Sun were already reporting that we may split pick 10.

    My fave thing we could do would be to swap 3 for 5 and 25 from swans, let them have Green and screw over giants. Then we get whoever isn't taken out of Young, Jackson or whoever else we would like. I wish we had a need for Flanders so we could wreck Adelaide as well. 

    There's a lot of merit in this line of thinking.

    It'd be an interesting move, but would also mean we likely miss out on Green and Jackson, if it's true GWS won't match.

    Yeah - it's a biased opinion, because I would be happy with Young and another prospect on top as well as limiting the GWS haul.

    Fair enough. Im happy with one of Green/Jackson/Young, not set for or against any in particular. There seem to be a few interesting prospects in the 15-25 range like de Konig and Gould, so wouldn't mind an earlyish 2nd rounder if we can get one back.

    My track record speaks for itself Basil.

    Stick to the jokes, the classic Demonland nastiness doesn't suit you.

    It wasn’t meant to be nasty, just a bit of banter between two trade whisperers. #Youstillhearditherefirst #WhispersbyET.

    I was told by a semi-reliable source that yesterday we were in negotiations. Make of it what you will. If the deal gets done, then it’ll happen.

    Stranger things have happened but would be surprised if Young & Ash slip through as far as 10.  Both top 7/8 prospects imv.  We gave up the chance for Ash when we swapped pick 8.

    GWS can't trade their second round as they've traded their first round. They also need some form of points for the pick matching. The rest of your post is about as likely to happen as gc trading picks 1+2 for 3

    You can't trade a pick that you've used in a bid.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
