    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 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

    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 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: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
