    Clickbait from Trade Radio to get more clowns to listen and/or phone up. Probably get a heap of Saints flogs sooking that Brad Hill is 'theirs'.

    It's an absolute joke this year trade.

    They need to have it no more then a week, get deals done,and move on. 

    The AFL don't do things right, it's a shambles.

    It's all about dominating the news cycle 24/7, 365. No other sporting competition anywhere has this obsession.

    Would we consider pick 6 and GWS’ 2020 first round pick for pick 3? 

    This is the deal I'd be looking at if they are only offering Bonar. Maybe even pick 3 plus our 3rd for 6, 2020 1st and Bonar. I'd then be chatting to the Dogs about swapping either our or GWS 2020 1st for their 1st this year. The Dogs have a gun academy kid next year so will be making move to get extra points for 2020.

    We could then potentially hit the draft with 7 plus 14/15 (both likely to be moved down 1 or 2 spots with academy picks - Green for sure, maybe if we get those picks we tell Freo we'll bid on Henry early and they then accept a future 2nd for Langdon instead of this years!) and still have a first round next year.

    Surely we have some sort of deal already worked out with GWS, otherwise what was the point of them moving down to pick 6.

    This was my thought too. Pick 6 unlikely to be enough but will get Mahoney to the negotiation table. He specified top 10 was requirement when splitting 3. 6 ticks that box. Looking forward to see what comes with it. Wondering if they'll get another club involved still. Both us and gws are already dealing with the Hawks.... 

    Would Hawks part with pick 11 too get all 3 of Patton, Frost and Bonar? Would likely require some late/future pick shuffling.

    To answer my own question: No, not likely but just for fun  

    GWS:

    Out 6, Patton, Bonar In: 3

    Hawks:

    Out: 11 In: Patton, Frost, Bonar

    Dee's:

    Out: 3, Frost In: 6, 11

    Man it's too early for crazy trades

    We'd  need to include more picks. Maybe give Hawks our 2020 2nd and pick 47

    Then trade pick 6, 22 and 2020 3rd for Langdon and Hill?

    Are GWS in a worse position points wise after that trade? If so that would strengthen our hand. They really need 3 to make it worth it

    Yes, 12 & 18 are worth more, points wise, than 6. So you would assume GWS are trying to get our 3

    Yep, lets see how bad they want it...

    This is where we can stand a bit firmer

    EDIT The St. Kilda trade for pick 6 is a cat amongst the pigeons in all of this

    I'd be saying we need pick 6 & another within top 15 or no deal.

    Or alternatively 6 and Caldwell or Hateley.

    They need pick 3, we don't need to trade it.

    GWS want pick 3 to get a player in before anyone bids on Green.  Could we be involved in this

    Sydney: Get Daniher, future 3rd pick  out Pick 5 and Papley

    Carlton: Get Papley and Pick 26 Out Pick 9 and 43 

    Essendon: Get Pick 3 and 43 Out Daniher

    Melb: Get 5 and 9 out 3 and 26 future third round pick

     

    We go to draft with 5, 9 and 50, keep Round 1, 2 and 2 x 4th rounders in 2020 and add Langdon/Tomlinson

    What's this got to do with GWS though?

    Nothing it is another option outside getting Pick 6 plus something, really all they can offer us is future first rounder which really will be 10-18 or a player.  Or we get involved in other deals to try and get 2 top 10 picks for this year

  • Quote

    Pick 6 and the proceeds from Bonar / Patton trades for pick 3.
    Come on GWS, roll up your sleeves and get it done.

    Remember - if our trade with GWS is a pick swap ONLY then we can do it after the trade period ends.

    No need to man the panic stations with minutes to go on Wednesday.

    It would be interesting to see a list of assets from our end that would compliment pick 3 well enough to trade down to pick 6. 

    I personally wouldn't mind (excluding superstars who we'd clearly want)

    Finlayson

    Williams 

    Caldwell

    Hill

    2020 first round pick 

    Daniels

    It would take me 0.00000004 seconds to accept Zac Williams and 6 for 3. Sadly it will not be a possibility.

    I agree, they wouldn't even think about it, but i also think we'd be silly not to ask

    I was thinking Daniels would be a good fit. But would we ask for more? Hill only just signed not long ago, so I doubt we would get him.

    The Dogs have a top 10 Academy pick next year.

    Would we do 26 and next year round 2 for the dogs pick13??? 

    Gives us our 2nd low pick while keeping 3 and gives dog points for next year??

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
