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.

So any of ye two trade whisperers think anything likely to happen before the day is out?

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
