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?

    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

    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

    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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      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.
