Pick 8 to Sydney for Papley & Pick 62.

Pick 62 for Josh Jenkins or Levi Casboult.

I think the Dees will get a big forward.

TMac, Weideman and Joel Smith injuries this year left us exposed.

Tim Smith and Declan Keilty both gone.

Then again we have Petty!

 Think you can always just upgrade rookies or use picks at the end of the draft. Salary cap is probably the bigger concern, to land someone big we'd have to trade someone out. 2 deals from nowhere in the last 24 hours of trade period - seems unlikely

Had always thought you knew what was going on, guess I was wrong

I'd rather Martin than Papley.

But the idea of going to the draft with 3 + 8 gets me thoroughly aroused... 

Except we can't, we have to find a third pick

Yeah, we don't have to use a pick to upgrade a rookie anymore right? So technically we could draft 2 players, then just upgrade a rookie, and that counts as our 3?

 

If you can show me that in the rules I will happily eat humble pie

 

What about the other way. We send 3 & 8 to GC for pick 1. Would you do it?

I couldn't be happier with this deal if it goes through

Only pick Green with 3 if he's worth pick 3. They may let him pass, with the knowledge that the rank of available draftees moves up a spot. 

However, if they do match a bid at 3 they'll use up pick 6, which means 8 moves up a spot.

From what I’ve read he’s highly rated and it’s believed GWS will match any bid on him. Not fussed if we don’t risk it though and take Young with our first pick

It was a question, not a statement. I know they changed the rules around rookie lists and elevations but couldn't remember exactly what the rules were now.

I can't find any rule that limits the draft to 5 rounds, nor the picks attributed to rookie players any longer.

Last year GC, Coll, Western Bulldogs (2 rookie upgrades), Geelong (2 rookie upgrades), Port and Melbourne all had 5th round picks and rookie elevations. Toby Bedford was our 5th round pick last year.

So what pick did we use to elevate Corey Maynard?

What draft pick did Richmond use to elevate Castagna just before the 2018 season started then dworship?

Tigers upgrade rookie after pre-season revamp

 


The Giants deal for next years first rounder is not a great deal for us. 

it's likely a late first round pick in a heavily compromised draft, it's probably only worth a second rounder. 

Much better off demanding Finlayson or Caldwell and pick 6

Dee you are quickly becoming the 'Werridee' of the trade period!

We're in the best position possible going into last day of trade period.

Two extremely valuable picks are on the table if the right offer pops up.

We'll be sitting back, cross-legged with cigar in mouth knowing that if nothing comes up, we go to the draft with two top 10 picks a year after making a prelim. 

Added to that is the fact that we've addressed a problem area with the additions of Langdon and to a lesser extent Tomlinson. No longer will we have to play inside midfielders on a wing. 

And this is all without mentioning the fact that we have a pre-season with Burgess coming up. One of the most highly respected fitness coaches around.

I'm putting a cheeky $20 on us for top 4 next year.

Dees.

Bloody happy clappers 

Not placing much cred on this but FWIW here it is...

I don't understand how Sydney could even consider two first round picks for a guy who's not made it onto the ground in 2 years

We need to have 3 selections at the draft but rookie elevations can count as one of the 3.

  • 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.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
