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?

  • 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.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
