    If that’s true then it’s us bending someone else over for once!

    Haven't heard this one specifically, but this is definitely in line with what people are saying we'll try to do.

    Connected with the expected bidding on Jamarra Ugle-Hagan?

    Using the AFL Draft Points Index as guide:

    • Pick 14 = 1,161 Points
    • Pick 25 = 756 Points
    • 405 points differential equates to ~ pick 41

    That doesn't seem unreasonable for a player the Dogs have targeted.

    Trading in. 
    Biden - 4 year contract.  Risky contract length given age and declining performance.  Have young Harris in the squad and may be required to step up in 2 years. 

    Young Harris could be required to step up a lot earlier than 2 years.

    Hannan’s not worth that and the pick scale always undersells the value of first round picks. We’ll have to add more to get that deal done

    Personally I would have thought we'd have it high up the list, but going by Mahoney's comments yesterday it doesn't seem like the club feels the same way. Bit baffled by that tbh. Phillips might be a chance, but that's me guessing, not rumour etc. Pies have a bit going on obviously, and I still think they may consider TMac but are holding off for now with a few better options still potentially in play for them.

    Clubs still don’t know List sizes yet!!

    It is ridiculous

    It should have been set in stone before Trade Period started. 
    We have no reference point. I hope Bartlett and others are furious 

    How can any trading be done without a template??

    Hypothetical: Clubs may have more of an idea of what's happening than what has been reported in the media. Mahoney, for all his faults, is quite often ahead of the curve with trading/drafting changes. What if we're finding a way to get ourselves 2 higher picks because the AFL will reduce the 3 draftees minimum rule?

    But that is not the point. A multi million $$ operation shouldn’t have to deal in those circumstances. It is a necessity for all clubs to know how many players can be employed, before trading and dealing for those players. 
    that said I think Josh is a pretty good Poker Player

    I know and if Josh is able to haggle up the order good on him

    I am just tired of the AFL picking and choosing what they do

    They can change a rule within hours, but we still don’t know list numbers!!

    TBF it could be that the AFLPA are making it difficult for them. They're in negotiations with them.

    Quite possibly, but Trade weeks should have been delayed until a decision was made

    i bet everything is being held up because List Managers are nervous. The AFL haven’t even made a statement. 
    Are they all still tanning up in Noosa??

    14 and Pruess for 10

    Frost + Pruess + Hannan = 10

    No way we will move up to pick 14 using Mitch Hannan!   The Bulldogs fans would burn that place down

    I don’t think their fans will, Bulldogs will have to use pick 14 and another pick or 2 to match a bid on Ugle-Hagan anyway.
     

    Edit: Possible point scenarios are being talked about on the Hannan trade thread. ?

    That would mean we'd actually achieved the kind of 'bistro-math' / 'multiple mid-tier players packaged and converted into a top 10 pick' that many Demonland posters have often dreamed of.

    A triple win for them, Ugle-Hagan, Hannan, and the Insurance payout.

    Dunkley has just formally requested a trade which if the dog do a trade with ess they will get another 1 maybe 2 first round picks which would mean I think they would be even more happy to except the above trade.

    • 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.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
