What to do with Pick 10?

So now that we have pick 10, who do we think we are targeting? For me it's still Cody Weightman, although I'm sure others will disagree.

    Dylan Stephens. genuine speed and class. exactly what we're lacking. everyone i've spoken to says he's an extremely impressive young man on and off the field. 

    i think the only curve ball would be is if one of Ash or Young somehow slid that far.

    Would be pretty happy with Stephens. Knightmares latest update on his thread on Bigfooty suggests that Carlton are pretty keen on Weightman at 9. The 1st round in this draft is more fluid than any other i can remember.

    One of Kemp, Stephens, Young, Serong could possibly get through to our pick it seems.

    Carlton want another small forward for sure. i personally think they're more likely to grab Serong but i think it's mostly guess work at this point. 

    I think there is a serious possibility Adelaide or Fremantle could jump at 6 or 7 and grab Stephens. hopefully opening the door for Young to somehow slide to 10.

    Pretty happy with whatever we do. Not sold on Jackson but if he can play forward until a ruck spot opens up I'm happy with that. Stephens is a good pick at 10 the runner we need. Hopefully Pickett is still available at pick 28 that would suit me fine.

    Young wont be going that late imo.   Top 5 surely.

    Might be targeting Weightman or Stephens.  Weightman seems the most logical as we were looking for similar in Elliot.

    Would much rather Ash if we aren't taking Young but unlikely he will get through to 10.

    Taylor, Pickett or potentially Williams at 28 if the former two are gone by then but would want to be sure re Willams' given his history of a back issue.

    If we want Weightman it makes sense to split that pick with the Cats. and upgrade 28 - 17 and still get the same player.

    Then the Cats take Brodie Kemp and he becomes the next Joel Selwood and they never fallout of premiership contention.

    Its all  too predictable

    From the Herald Sun:

    "The Demons are also looking to trade their no.10 choice for two picks, which could come in the teens and early 20s."

    Says leading contenders for our 10 are Geelong, Port & Gold Coast"..

    Port has best option 12 and 18 for 10 and 28

    Depending on if our plan is to take Weightman. if we do i suspect he'd be there at 12 or 14. so 14 

    so 17 is a better bonus pick than 18

    The dogs have their eyes on someone specific. but it's not Weightman.

    Pick 10 will most likely end up as pick 12 on draft night after academy bids. Likewise 28 will push out to at least 30, possibly 31 or 32 depending on bids on Maginness and Mead.

    A theoretical trade with Geelong will see 12 and 30 become 16 and 19 (possibly 20 for Maginness).

    12, 30-32

    vs

    16, 19-20

    Not sure which one I like best to be honest.

    one thing l am pretty sure of is that by trading with Freo who now have picks 7 and 8 we would have ensured they won't get in the way of the player/s we are eyeing off at pick 10.

    This I think

    I'd be surprises if the Cats did 14 and 17 for 10 and 28, and I'm not sold on us trading 10 for 14 and 24. Means something like Weightman and Pickett instead of Kemp/Stephens/Serong.

    It will be interesting if any mooted trade happens today or Wednesday. If Wednesday you'd think we have more bargaining power, given teams will know for sure who is left.

    Personally i haven't seen anyone who looks anything like a Selwood from this draft.  Might have missed someone but i reckon your safe JSK

    If anything, it's Robertson that's drawn the Selwood comparisons. And he won't make it to Geelong now Freo have 7 and 8.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
