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

 
 

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

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

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

Edited by Demons11

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

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
