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 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. 
Sleepy Joe will get torn to shreds

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 

Wake up Dill...Work to be done

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.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
