Tom Green (Drafted by GWS Giants)

If we keep pick 3, I'd like to hear views from Demonland's draft intelligentsia about this guy.

Should we call his name at pick 3, possibly forcing GWS to match bid? If they don't match, is he good enough to warrant pick 3? 

I'm not a fan of drafting for need, or bidding to force a hand. My view is almost totally 'best available' at that pick.

Thoughts?

    Sounds like Moonshadow, contrary to his stated aim of ignoring me has taken my advice on picking Green.

    Don't think he is taking your advice, there are plenty of others suggesting we nominate Green but it will be to no avail as GWS will still take him.

    Has there been any acknowledgement in the media that GWS want pick 3, or is this isolated to demonland?

    I feel like this scenario, if true, should be obvious to people in the business; but i have not heard anyone mention Green or a gws/melb pick swap.

    There has been consistent talk of GWS needing to get a 'low pick' to get Green and a high quality draftee.

    If they stop where they are, it more or less places his value at pick six (or we have offered too high a price for our pick).

    Mitch Cleary just said that he doesn't think we will bid on Tom Green, which then makes sense why we wont split pick 3.

    Good, lets take pick 3, take Hayden Young, look at getting a small at 26 and a tall with out 3rd. Keep a pick for the pre-season or rookie draft and get on with getting the club back on the road.

    Can someone pretty please explain this

     

    is Tom Green an academy player /etc that’s why GWS can match!

     

    if we bid, and they match, what does that actually mean in terms of draft/ picks/$ etc

    we bid on him at 3

    GWS says no we’ll match

    then what?

    they have to give up their next x picks to match the value of 3 in points which effectively releases a player further down the draft?

    does it have a deleterious effect on us except maybe make us look like pr1x

    they get a 20% discount on points to pick him up - they must use points from their NEXT pick (which is new, i think, as you used to be able to use back-ended picks)

    only danger to us is we have to take him, which would be a shame as he looks VERY good

    we won't nominate him with 3 i don't think as we won't rate him in the top 3, but who knows...maybe we do! hard to know cos we DON'T LEAK anymore

    Thanks !

    how can you use points from your next pick, eg if your next pick is 8 how can you take points from a pick??

    each pick has points attributed to it

    so we use pick 3 to bid on green, it's worth xyz points, then gw$ need to use xyz-20% points, which they can do so by using a combo of pick 12 and pick 50 say which are worth xyz-20% points

    it's convoluted, and a farce, but less easily exploited than when sydney matched the mills bid a few years back as an example

    That makes sense now

    we could force them to pay overs by using 2 picks and sacrificing one to access the points

     

    all because he’s an academy or father son?

     

    thanks for explaining, much appreciated !??️‍♀️??

    If GWS had pick 3, they could use that on say, Sarong, and then use subsequent picks for Green when a club selects him with their pick. That's why there was talk here that we could split pick 3 with GWS and possibly receive 2 picks inside 15 for 3. Could be win/win.

    I thought Adelaide were going to nominate Green and that is why GWS want our pick 3?

    Trenners won the B&F in the SANFL this year, we have had some pretty ordinary results picking players from that comp.

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
