Are we done now?

Is this the end of our trade period?

With the acquisitions of Tomlinson & Langdon and the departure of Sam Frost I haven't heard our name being bandied about amongst any of the other tradable targets. (with the exception of Sam Murray as a delisted free agent).

So are we done now?

    Feels like this is how we roll most years. We get our targeted deals done about 3/4s of the way through and then sit back and see if anything else comes up for us. Most times is seems like that's it, but never know. Gut feel is we'll do the pick 3 split, but might not get anymore player trades done.

    I’d put good money on us not going into the draft with pick 3.

    Agreed Beets, 

    We've got Langdon, Tomlinson and still a pick in each of the first three rounds

    for Frost

    I think Mahoney can't sit back comfortably and wait for teams to come to us.

    Interesting we have pick 26 which will trump the dogs now in dealing for bruce.

    Does anyone have an updated list? Considering 3 picks in the draft, how many spots are left to be filled?

    I'm still holding out hope for something in the forward half to eventuate.

    No idea if we're done or not, but so far:

    • The in's; Tomlinson, Langdon, pick 26, Pick 50, R2 2020, R4 2020,
    • The out's; Frost, Pick 22, Pick 42, Pick 61, Pick 79, R2 2020, R4 2020

    Net effect:

    Ins:

    • Tomlinson
    • Langdon
    • Pick 26
    • Pick 50

    Outs:

    • Frost
    • Pick 22,
    • Pick 42,
    • Pick 61
    • Pick 79

    4 in, 5 out. Maybe splitting pick 3 will be the balancing item?

    Forgot about pick 79

    My understanding is If we take the minimum 3 from the draft we have no senior list spots available. Therefore if we want to get anyone else in or take an extra draftee, we will have to trade or de-list either Stretch or JKH who are currently out of contract.

    Thanks HBG. I reckon that means we're not officially done yet. We've kept those 2 spots up our sleeve in case something else comes up.

    So am I FTB but don't hold your breath Good KPF's are rare beasts.

    I think we will have to go into next season with the NQR's that we used in 2019.

    5 spots available:  4 Out: Garlett, Maynard, Lewis, Frost plus 1 unused list spot from 2019.

    2 spots taken:  Tomlinson, Langdon.

    3 spots available for draftees or more recruits.

    Stretch and JKH OOC and still unsigned so potential for more list spots.

    Will shortly update the Contracts thread pinned to front page of this forum.

    If anyone has the length of Langdon's contract please let me know.

    Going by what Mahoney is saying, we are not finished.

    Apologies if I got that wrong, I was trying to listen to a race at the same time.... I thought that's what I heard storming down the outside.

    When asked about the Frost trade he said they looked at it and Langdon as a package and said "keeping our draft hand was important for what we want to do during the trade period"

    Sounds to me like we're not finished yet

    would be good to have a list of who they are (as they become known)and when is the PSD draft.

    Seems that Murray is possibly the pick of the bunch for a one year contract but I must confess to knowing little about who is available.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
