gathering more points together to on-trade accordingly?

Or that is the Pick for Brown

    Sarcasm aside, looks as if we'll be aggressive in trading up into the first round which I like.

    Rubbish. We’ve been dudded by the Lions. We really need that future fourth round selection.

    We can't trade our future first now (not that we should) until we get a future 3rd back, but we've got Preuss and Hannan maybe others who could make that happen.

    It's a bit early to know where the academy matching bid picks will fall. There's a chance a number of picks between 43-53 get sucked up and the picks end up nearly identical and we look stupid.

    But I'd suggest this is part of a bigger deal to get up the order early.

    So whilst I generally think trading up is a silly idea that chips away a draft capital without much gain I'll wait and see what else we can do with this pick 43. One thing our move last year indicated was if you're going to trade up you're best to do it aggressively and early rather than on or near the draft night when clubs fall in love with players and pay big overs.

    In case you want to know what this is all about

    IN: Pick No.43 and Brisbane’s Future Fourth Round Pick

    OUT: Pick No.53 and Melbourne’s Future Third Round Pick

    I have no idea why we bother with this crap each year. If we hadn't traded out a bunch of future picks last year (the Frost trade is exhibit 1), we wouldn't be madly trying to get more picks in this year. It all feels like Mahoney trying to justify his existence over and over again.

    Pick 53 = 233 points

    Pick 43 = 378 points

    We have gained 145 points.

    Mahoney is useless. But this is a good trade. We basically just move up 10 spots for giving away speculative picks. Although 43 is speculative itself, it’s better than 53 in a package deal to move up the order. It’s a COVID year. If we move closer to 10-20 we could find a real gem.

    Interesting - looks like we're gearing up for a major pick upgrade this year.

    That move prevents us from trading our 2021 1st rounder.

    Not only directed at you but I don't understand why so many people don't rate Mahoney.  Every year he does a heap with the hand he's dealt.

    Frost, 42 (very little difference with 50), 61 (no value) and a future fourth-round

    FOR

    50 and Hawthorn's future second-round selection (23)

    We then spent a future second and redeemed a future 4th with Langdon.

    Which allowed us to do the Pickett trade and keep a 2nd, 3rd and 4th this year. So we aren’t trying to get more picks, at this stage we are just trying to get better picks.

    A core part of Mahoney’s job is to try to get players in whilst still giving Jason Taylor something useful to work with at the draft. I think that’s worth bothering with.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
