We've turned 25, 68 and 69 into 18 and 19, at a cost of having to slide back from our 2021 first rounder to Brisbane's 2021 second rounder.

At worst, that's a slide back of 35 draft spots. At best that's a slide of 1 spot.

We'll be backing ourselves in to do well next year but Brisbane will too, which means in all likelihood we're sliding back 10-20 spots next year.

Is that worth it to get 18 and 19 in this year's draft? Maybe we have a plan to use 18 and 19. 

So we effectively split our future first in to 18 and 19, and swap 25 and some trash for a future second (Could be 30-36 ish).

I don't mind it. Could backfire, but at least we are being bold

 

I would assume we're now going to give 2 late first rounders for 1 top 10 pick...

I reckon we've got 1 more trade in us with those picks.. 

 


What have the Dogs offered for Treloar? 2nd or 3rd round with them paying max $600k per season?

Could we do a 'Mitch Clarke' and one up them at 11th hour?  ?

Craefishing maybe...?

 

Not sure what we're up to but I like it. Don't think we're done yet either, we now have 18, 19 and 28 and 50 in this years draft and we're only missing a first round from next year which we can always trade back into.

The good thing about getting this done early is we have more control over our destiny. For an example, if we waited Essendon might have tempted Brisbane with either pick 7 or 8 and the split assets might have been used elsewhere to get other deals done. Now clubs can come to us to negotiate.

Which we can always split draft night if our guy looks like sliding e.g last year.

I'm loving our pick trading. We never have a future first, but get back into drafts by trading futures.


If you package 19 and 28 that is worth the same amount of points as pick 7 - so for those who need more points, we are very attractive right now.

do we package up 18 and 19 for a pick in the top 10 maybe? 

Rather the two late picks 

I think there is one more player trade to be done in the next hour.

50/50 in my book.

I'm hearing 18 and 19 for Josh Dunkley.

 

 

 

 

 

 

:roos:

19+ 28 for 14

 

Take 14 and 18 to the draft 


18,19 and Tmac to the Bombers for pick 8.... let them throw a couple of picks at Dunkley

I think so too. Otherwise why do this now rather than on draft night?

This amazing, ?

 
Just now, Patches O’houlihan said:

Phillips? 

God, I hope not with any of those picks.

Just checked the NGA / Father sons. There probably arent that many in the top 20 that will be NGA father sons - maybe 5? So there arent a lot of people that we can trade with to get up the order. It is really only Dogs, unless someone wants to move back. 

Mahoney said that there is likely to be people that different clubs rate because of the weird year that end up dropping a little lower - so plenty of options for us on the board.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
