Sounds like blues want Kemp but don’t think he’s a pick 11, looking to trade down...

 

AFL Twitter has come to life:  Cal Twomey's intel suggests the Blues' bidding spree is an attempt to buy time as they look for a pick swap... foiled by GWS who matched the bid quickly and started the clock on the next trade \.

Edit:  Carlton swapped with GCS who now have pick 11 who selected Flanders.  (Gold Coast receive picks No.11 and 62 from Carlton for picks No.17 and 22).   Good deal for Carlton!

Apparently all Clubs run 1000's of scenarios on the draft, all except for Carlton who seem not to have had any idea what to do once Stephens was taken at 5...
 


Gold coast are building a nice midfield

Speak for yourself.

Freo massive winners with Young, Serong and Henry. Two top 5 rated players leading up to the draft and Henry who looks pretty special.

GC with Rowell, Anderson and Flanders also big winners. Again three top 5 players leading up to the draft.

Well thought through Mat

For those wondering why we didn't bring in Kemp (i am admittedly one of them), 10 clubs over 17 picks thought he was not worth enough of a gamble to take him.

Time will tell.

Robertson still on the board at 20!?! Can we trade up and steal him??

Carlton has traded picks 11 and 62 for 17 and 22 from Gold Coast.

Any idea how Carlton got live pick 20? 

Pick 22 was the pick in the swap being GCS's end of first round pp pick from the AFL?  Was there another swap somewhere?  A swap with Port at some stage, they haven't used what was pick 18 and now have pick 22?

Swapped with Port. 

From AFL.com.au

"Another pick swap for Carlton! The Blues receive pick 20 from Port Adelaide, while giving up picks 22 and 55."

Shocked Robertson is still up for grabs 

Some unlikely names still on the board. Apart from Robertson, there's Worrell, Harrison Jones, Trent Rivers, Will Gould, Elijah Taylor, Jeremy Sharp & Dylan Williams still there. Wow.

I thought the Tiges might go for a young CHB type key tall.  Harri Jones, or other?

# Will Gould, I thought the Hawks took him.  But no, they got Will Day?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
