Quite frankly, I’m happy for him to sell it.

We simply cannot have another season like this year’s.

Despite finishing 17th, we are (ironically) in the premiership window right now, and we have to go for it - full bore.

Great move - Josh Mahoney is a gun at trading picks IMO.

I love it.

 

He’s a Gun at throwing out valuable second rounders for nothing.

    Just out of interest, what was the last positive thing you think Melbourne did?

    We hung onto pick 3!! Before that many "Armagedon" moments were the order of the day IMV

    Trade period isn’t over yet - I would be surprised if we had pick 3 come time of selection

    Pick 3 to the Giants for Jeremy Finlayson and pick 6 

    Pick 8 to the Hawks for Issac Smith and pick 11 

    pick 6 we draft Lachie Ash and get some genuine speed 

    pick 11 we draft Cody Weightman, small forward with genuine skills and x-factor

    overall a terrific trade period.

    If GWS don’t come to the table, they effectively “lose” their high 1st round pick on Green (which they could use later picks on). Do a deal with us then they use pick 3 on the player they want and later picks on Green, effectively 2 top 5 picks for pick 3, later picks and whatever they pay us.

    Lachie Ash is Jayden Hunt 2.0. Runs away and boots it to no one . Would be a shocking choice at 6.

    I'm worried if we give up 3 we lose Caleb Serong, who will go 4 or 5. He's a very good footballer. I suppose at 6 we could get Sam Flanders as a similar type player, then Weightman at 8 which is a bit overs for him IMO.

    Rubbish. he's a good kick, shown great leadership, reads the play well and is consistent in his position. you should probably know what you're talking about before you plot players because you clearly have not seen him play.

    Have you seen his highlight reel? Almost all his kicks are OOTF/to an opposition player or smothered. Just ran and booted it Into no mans land like Jayden Hunt does.

    Not a player I would want to spend a top 10 on.

    It's because he tries to kick when running at full speed under pressure. a very easy thing to address and fix up. if that's the worst problem he has he's in a very good position.

    Nice PO.  A slight variation?...

    ?? Pick 3 - same deal ??

    ?? Pick 8 - to Hawks for Smith, 11 & 42

    ?? 42 to Adelaide for Jenkins & peanuts ($300k to ensure the Cats have to at least pay a tad more if they want him...yeh what's up pussycat!).

    ?? Pick 6 - Stephens (speed, silk & finish!)

    ?? Pick 11 - Weightman (small forward with rising star potential).

    ?? 3rd draft pick (Rookie as delisted FA?) - Harley Bennell

    At the end of the day, we are giving away pick 3, the third best young talent in the country.

    That's a lot for mine, we better be asking for plenty back in return.

    No complaints for me. 

    greatly increase our speed and class on the outside

    address small forward need 

    re-enforce key targets forward 

    build on young core

    add on field experience and leadership

    all major areas of list concern addressed is a success in anyones books. 

    don't mind the idea of offering up the future second to the Crows for a last minute hail mary at Alex Keith potentially.

    If the rumour of us knocking back the GWS offer of Pick 6 and a future first is true, then I'd say that's a fair indication of us playing hard ball for the pick.

    Need to agree to disagree. Hunt has spent years and still does it.

    i am in the Stephens camp for pick 6. Dead-set gun. His highlight reel is up there with Oliver’s.

    Fortunately the guys who make these decisions don't do so based on highlight reels.

    Stephens is a good player though

    i'd also be happy with Flanders

    Not sure if this has been floated, but what if GWS offered 6 + 40 (Tomlinson compensation) + 2020 1st for Selection 3?

    I think it should be a player like most here, but if there is no possibility of getting a player what would it take?

    I wouldn't do that. We probably don't even need pick 40 this year. GWS 2020 first selection is diluted so it won't help us much either. The value needs to be closer to what GWS will receive out of the deal from a net perspective. In effect if we help them out GWS are going to draft 2 top 5 rated players from this draft, they better be willing to offer up something better than that IMV.

    I'm with Bonkers. That deal is pants and would rather go to the draft.

    Unless we can realise a net gain equal to if not better than what GWS stand to reap they can G.A.G.F......

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
