I've shown quite good restrain in the last two hours. I've very much felt like habing some funnies and creating a thread titled Welcome to Melbourne Zach Merrett, but AF's kept himself in line. Good boy.

Next year

We not done

 

Apparently us and Brisbane in talks about a future pick swap.

Brisbane have pick 18 and 19. My guess is we will do 25 + future first for 18 + future first with Brisbane betting they will finish higher then us.

 

Maybe throw in a future 3rd rounder we got from bulldogs for good measure.

Just to go with this - apparently our future first is in play, so you would expect Brisbane's first and something else might come up.

If this is just a pick swap it doesn't need to occur today does it?

Let's hope so.

Don’t we need a future second to trade our future first?

Could be 18 and future second for 25 and a future first. 
 

We’d be taking a big risk to do that

Don't think so

Yes, that makes it interesting. Does it mean we're looking for an earlier pick to use on trading in another player?

Only other players I've heard through this week connected to us are Polec or T Phillips. This deal doesn't sound like one that would be relevant to either of them.

I think you can swap picks on draft night, not to sure about after the trade?

I think we are probably the most creative with the pick swaps.  Definitely Mahoney is a closet actuary. 

Looks like we're going all in on the next 2 years

Melbourne 'pick swap' Demons.

wtf are we playing at??

Brisbane will trade picks 18, 19 and a future second to Melbourne for a future first-rounder, 25, 68 and 69

I like it

Wow if true we can't stink it up next year

Good move I reckon.  Backing themselves to improve and now have 2 first rounders this year

Seems strange that we're doing this all now and not after the conclusion of trade period tonight? Really seems like we're up to something.

Im losing track of picks. What do we have this year now?  18, 19 & 28?

Yes don't worry, I have faith! Let's see if any late trade goes down too?? Also looks like we need to revisit the draft thread to see who's available thereabouts
