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.

@Ethan Tremblay The trade whisperer - Yesterday's man....

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.

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

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.

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

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
