    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??

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • 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 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.
