    Neither is a pick 3 candidate.  It would need to be player plus their first rounder plus steak knives to even get close.

    Hopefully we are seeing teams that are desperate for currency, and we can leverage that to our advantage.  An old bidding war for pick 3...

    We should look at all options, Eagles are the ones that are desperate  for early pick to secure Tim Kelly. We hold the whip hand on all  of this, pressure is on the FD to make hay while the sun shines.

    Have heard the Gaff rumour, nothing concrete but has been mentioned as a way to trump Freo, by somehow getting the pick.

    Gaff and 35 for pick 3, sweet jesus no

    For a website riddled with misinformation; Demonland can, at times, be quite educational.

    What are your thoughts on the likelihood, and merits, of packaging Petrucelle into the deal?

    Petrucelle would be a great get, liked his final against the Cats. With the Rioli situation and Bolton extending at Richmond you would think Eagles would be very keen to keep him now.

    I’ve made some inquiries and been informed that Gaff’s teammates nicknamed him ‘Basil’  due to his love of Margherita Pizza. 

    Could be something in this.

    I know there has been discussions about West Coast needing to Trade Out to meet Geelong's Trade Price. And I know Gaff has been thrown up as a possibility if required. (Note: These are what general people have mentioned, not what has been discussed in clubland.)

    But, the only way I ever see it happening is if West Coast get dead frightened that Freo could convince him to go there. I like the idea of Gaff, but if we have a good year next year, we may be able to get him as a Free Agent because of his clause.

    Also, I can't see Freo trading out their future player (Brayshaw) for a player that is 25+ (Kelly). They would want both of them in their midfield, especially after losing Hill and Langdon. I would expect they would offer Pick 6 and 7, not go after Pick 3 with more players.

    Andrew Brayshaw was pick 2 and now has 50 odd games under his belt.

    Out of interest why do people say he wouldn't be worth pick 3?

    Thanks

    It’s the same people who think Frost is worth an early second rounder. They rate our players too high and opposition players too low.

    So far it's looked like one of the poorer top 5 drafts I can remember. Like his brother, kicking is a major issue.

    The Weagles are going to have to do something because Geelong would love to get their hands on the two top 10 picks the Dockers are going to have.

    Extra speed/fitness compared to Gus means he can run well on the wing or half forward but his kicking is just as bad. At this stage he’s looking like a similar player to Langdon.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
