    pick 3, pick 8 not to be used on players, taken to the draft

    But then says trades can occur up until the draft, 'worse case scenario we use pick 3, 8'.

    I'm thinking they'll be pushing GWS right up until the draft

    'We believe in this playing group'

    Outside run was the priority, mentions 15 players on the wing again

    Won't talk about who they like at 3 but mentions they have 2 or 3 that they like at that pick

    I think they have made a great move: either GWS will trade 6 and second rounder for 3, to guarantee Tom Green at a later pick or we will bid for Tom Green with 3, forcing GWS to use Pick 6 and giving us an extra top end player to choose from.

    So many seem keen to trade 3 to GWS, but what if they then take the player we wanted at 3?

    It's a gold star pick. We need to nail it.

    The question is, how do we acquire another draft pick? We must draft 3 players, but currently only have 2 picks... something else HAS to happen. Even if it's just Stretch/JHK for pick 70.

    Pretty sure we have picks in the 5th/6th/7th round if we need to use them?

    But at any rate I suspect Stretch is getting traded to the GC.

    We traded our 5th round in the Langdon deal didn't we?

    I still don't think we would do this deal if we didn't have something else up our sleeve.

    I don't care how highly we rate the top 10 this year and how poorly we rate everyone outside it. You don't trade 3 picks for 1 unless you have something planned.

    More to go yet.  We can still trade 3 out for 2 top 15 picks plus something next year.

    Alternatively, they have nothing further lined up and value this year's draft much higher than next year. With the bidding next year (that we have no part in), I think it makes a lot of sense to go hard this year whilst the opportunity presents itself.

    There's also the potential of 2 years worth of salary cap relief from 2 players that should (!) be of high quality.

    Say what you like about our on field performance, but I think our off field and trade performances have been pretty spot on lately.

    Sorry Jaded - I hope you know I wasn't calling you incompetent of course... on second read, it might have read that way!!  I was saying there is another option with this trade, and that is that the MFC is incompetent!

    I don't necessarily share your confidence about our off-field performance since Jackson retired.  Jury is out for mine.

    Or maybe we think 2 picks will get waht we need right now and we can work teh rest out next year. I doubt very much there is a big name coming to our club, in fact im 95% sure. I think what we may do is still split one of those picks.. turn 2 first rounders into 3 first rounders, which can be done right up until and during the draft.

    And for those bemoaning we dont have a first round pick next year.. who knows what will happen, we might trade back into the first round next year.. lots can play out. I love having 2 picks inside the top 10 as it stands.

    Sounds like we're very likely to draft Cody Weightman which makes me think we should look to split 8 with the Cats for 14 and 17 as he's likely to be there at 14 and we would effectively get a bonus free hit with 17 maybe on jeremy Sharp

    Our 8 can slip to 9 (GWS) & possibility 10 (Haw), and Weightman may go as low as 10. It wouldn’t be worth the risk.

    Thought we still had pick 79 as our third?

    Is Weightman worth a top 10 pick? - last time I checked he was ranked in the late 20's

    Not saying he is or isn't - would be interested to hear others views who have actually seen him play

    Would have to be something very special to use a top 10 pick given his size

    Went to Freo in the Langdon trade I think.

    For me that's Serong given he is ranked right up there in the top 5 and we need a quality small forward.

    Some are suggesting Weightman but he is ranked much lower than Serong and not sure he is worth a pick 8 unless we split and grab him later with a pick 25 or so.  I haven't seen either so they might both be rising potential small guns and worth it.  Maybe someone on here has seen them up close and able to fill us in a little.

    This is where I will forever scratch my head at this time of the year.  This isn't having a direct go at you, Buck, but there seems to be this theory that 2 picks at the later end of the Top 15 are better than pick 3.  I'd be taking pick 3 every day of the week over something like 11 & 15.

    Not only that, the theory is that trading away Pick 3 to someone like GWS, so that they can use that pick to get someone, AS WELL AS this Green kid.  So in effect, we are actually making them stronger while diluting our own picks.

    It makes absolutely no sense to me, but then I'm not the one on the big dollars sitting in the Football Department.

    Weightman is this year’s bolter. In the latest Phantom Draft (below) he is at 12. Have also heard on multiple occasions that the Dees are into him big time.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
