    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
