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

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 out.
Trump. 

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

The Dogs are the party trying to get the 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

Bizarre, isn't it?

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 mate. I wasn't arguing your point, I was bringing up something else.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
