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?

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • 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?
