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?

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
