Are we plotting a late heist?

Starting to look like we're done? For this trade period anyway.

You'd think GWS have to make a deal with us for Pick 3 between now and Draft Night. We don't need to do a deal with them but they need to do a deal with us. We should only accept 6, 2020 1st Rd and Player. Nothing less. If they don't like that deal then we say "see you on draft night".

    No doubt the quiet since 5.00 is to hold everything until Fox and 7 start broadcasting.

    I thought players could only be traded until 7:30 tonight, after that point only picks can be traded? We surely won't be doing a trade without a very good player?

    If a player is to be involved it has to be done in the next 97 minutes. Unless you could delist a player who agrees to come to us.

    Correct. Hopefully we get a deal for 6 + a good player before 7:30 tonight. Pick swap shouldn’t satisfy us IMO so it’s deal now, or no deal.

    Correct. I trust that we've put that scenario forward (I hope so anyway) and if they won't do that deal then "see you on draft night. Only one Top 10 for you this year".

    I'll be livid if it's just a pick swap. 6 & 1st 2020 & a player for me. We are holding a winning hand. No freebies for them.

    If no deal before 7:30pm then it should be no deal.

    I won't so much be livid but I do want a player so if that falls through then we should be making them bend over for some other picks. Say 2020 2nd rounder as well.

    Looking at the points, Pick 3 = Pick 6 + 37.

    3 for 6 + 1st 2020, even low first, would put us well in front.

    This all begs the question. Which player would we accept?

    Personally I'd like Finlayson, but not sure they can let him go now Patton's out.

    Who else? I can't see anyone else I like that would be around the right value.

    The points system doesn't explain it very well here imo.

    The difference between pick 3 and say pick 14-20 next year will be significant.

    I think if Finlayson (or similar high profile GWS player) was up for discussion talks we would have had at least a few quiet whispers by now.

    Looks like we're going to the draft.  Don't give them a swap with a future 1st or they'll get two bites at the draft cherry and probably pinch one of our targets.

    Had hoped they would find new homes but perhaps some luck in the PSD (assuming we don't offer them a contract.)

    Being the second best team in the comp behind GWS is a pretty good situation. Richmond were that and just won the flag by 89 points. 

    In 2016 Brisbane traded pick 2 and late picks for 3, 16. 

    Taranto for McCluggage and Berry. As good as Taranto is the Lions got 2 core pieces of their rebuild who both stuck around and a couple of years later really should’ve beaten GWS in a semi final. 

    Taranto was GWS best on ground in the GF.

    We can but someone posted a journo’s quote saying Suns will redraft him in the PSD.

    I too hope they get another opportunity, but with great respect to their efforts at Melbourne, I hope its at another club.  I'd rather have the list space to punt on an 'unknown quantity' with a 10% chance of making it, and a 0.5% chance of becoming a gem.

    I saw that.  Martin is already a GCS player so couldn't see why they need to re-draft him at all.  He hasn't been delisted so they just give him a new contract and keep the PSD pick.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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

      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.
