I believe Dogs need to use pick 14 and other picks for compensation payment on NGA Janara Ugle Hagen who probably goes pick 1 or 2.  
 

Lions have 18 and 19 so probably willing to give up 19 to get 26 and 31.  I think we are keen on getting Carroll or Macrae.  

They don’t have to use 14 but just need to ensure they have enough points for him.  They can trade pick 14 as long as they got more points back

I reckon with all the first round picks GWS may be getting, that we might just be looking to improve pick 26 into the teens for Preuss, might take a few later pick swaps as well but that would be a good outcome

Yes, good point that may well be our strategy. We may have an eye on a kid coming through  this draft.

This is why there's disagreement.  I don't think Preuss belongs in this category, you obviously do.  For me, he's not a 22 game a year + finals ruckman.  He's a very handy 8-12 game a year ruckman.

GWS has Pick 31, 44 and 52.  I would value Preuss at the Pick 40-50 range, so I'd be expecting their Pick 44.  If we can get 31, I'd be absolute surprised, but will happily take it from GWS.  

If we're looking for points so we can trade up then 44 and 52 are worth about the same as 31.  GWS should be getting 3 firsts for Cameron and Caldwell, so maybe those and 31 is enough for this draft and they'll hand over 44 and 52 for Preuss and we can add them into the bucket for the Dogs 1st.

What a busy day Maloney gets things done

I think Mahoney has done things very well over the years. 
They go in knowing what they want and they get the deal done.  Not looking to screw other clubs but being fair abs reasonable and not out there shooting his mouth off.

I have to say I was wrong on this one. I thought a pick upgrade in to the 40's was about the best we could do.

Pick 31 will blow out possibly even until 40+ come draft night and GWS have no use for later picks really, so we might've been helped there, but it's still more than I thought was worth.

Feels like a good and reasonable deal for us, Preuss and GWS.

Like Hannan, best of luck to Preuss.

Would stocking up on next year's picks be a better option considering everyone on trade radio mention how compromised this draft is and next year's is very stong?

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
