What about 3 for 6 and a player... with some change back 

I like this. Pick 3 for 6 and someone like Zac-Langdon I wouldnt mind at all. Really just hinges on how the Giants view their chances of getting Tom Green with just pick 6 now

    freo have said they want two first rounders for brad hill - well there ya go, there's two first rounders!

    I don't understand this, Freo could have taken 6 and done the same deal with GWS, unless they are trying to showoff to their fans.

    Is that the end of us splitting now?

    Could we split with the Cats? 3 for 14, 17 and 24 

    so we'd go to the draft with 14, 17, 21, 24 and 30 potentially for Frost

    Reckon Adelaide will bid for Green with Carlton's pick. I would do 3 for 6 and a player - Caldwell would be first choice. Kemp with 6 = HAPPY DAYS!!!!

    FWIW the AFL Draft Pick Value Calculator has Trading out pick 3 as the equivalent value of GWS pick 6 and then pick 37. Of course what the calculator can't take into account is the impact of us potentially bidding on Green.

    That guarantees GWS the 2 players they want after GC obvious 2.

    They will get them anyway. Might as well get something from it happening.

    I wonder if we could convince them to give us pick 6 and Jeremy Finlayson for pick 3

    Could have got him last year for about 40.

    Yeah, every year there seems to be a player we don't go for and i can't work out why. this year it's Dougal Howard.

    we really don't need any more key defenders

    One of those picks would head west for Langdon you would say.

    I'm not sure the above does it for me though.  I think, at this stage, I'd rather take three to the draft.  The picks that the Cats have are a little low and, now that GWS have made that trade, there isn't anyone we can do a decent swap with from what I can see.

    Dougal Howard is a clear upgrade on Oscar McDonald though.

    Use pick 3 - get the third best player in the pool (Young for me). Add Langdon and AT, possibly a Jenkins / Butler type and other picks for the draft to go for pace. Its a good refresh, add them to fit players, second year draftees and get on with business.

    Interestingly, with Sydney holding Pick 5, they will almost certainly bid for Green. GWS now hold Pick 6 and will need to jump ahead of Sydney if they want a top 10 pick and Green. The problem for GWS is that if the rumours are true that Sydney have approached us about Pick 3, they will have to outbid Sydney for our pick to prevent Sydney bidding on Green and making Pick 6 Null and Void.

    GWS would want to try and get our pick 3 to ensure no one bids for Green.  How about Pick 3 for Bonar and pick 6, we might need to throw in a late pick for points but I reckon GWS would want to remove any club from bidding for Green, means they basically get the 2 players that would be top 10 picks for 12 and 18, massive win for them

    We walk away from Trade week with Langdon, Bonar, Tomlinson pick 6 and what ever we get for Frost.

    Cats could be an option I guess. Really want to get a top 10 pick though. If they could swap 17&24 into a good pick in the top ten then it would be more appealing

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
