    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
