My hopes are Ben Brown gets done as early as possible and we get a sneaky Tom Phillips from the maggies on the cheap in the closing minutes.

    Ben Brown done

    a 1st round pick done or the draft picks in hand obviously outlining our intentions to secure one

    official word of APhillips trade or commitment as a DFA

    one of TPhillips, Narkle, CCox in a trade

    only then will i be satisfied ?

    Tmac, Omac, Avb, ANB all traded out

    If we lost them all out, what players will there be left to bag @olisik?

    Viney, Jones, Smith, Spargo, Fritta, Harmes, and Lever probably all next in the firing line I would imagine. Fans will never fail to find someone else to bag.

    Joel Smith, though hopefully he also is traded

    Ben Brown trade done early.

    Andrew Phillips trade done for one of our picks in the 60's.

    Bundle some of our picks to the Bulldogs for an upgrade to a 1st Round Pick.

    Word that we're committed to taking Marley Williams as a DFA.

    Would be happy to hear of a trade for Tom McDonald or ANB out, but will live if it doesn't happen.

    Brown for whatever, I'm not too fussed about haggling over a few draft spots in a draft that becomes guesswork within the first round.

    Seems like the major concern is how efficiently we can move players out, rather than in.  I would of course still be sad to see Tom McDonald go but his salary leaves with him and unfortunately that matters.

    Picks in the 50s or even 60s for the 'respectfully moved on with best wishes' players is fine.

    This Marley Williams whisper keeps appearing. Where’s it coming from ?

    Unsure about Tmcd.  Happy to see Tmcd stay or go. If he goes, 1- try to use the pick to get Narkle. 2- need Andrew Phillips from Bombers (save ourselves $450k a year) for a future 4th round. But I’m tipping Tmcd stays. 
     

    Really want

    1- Ben Brown - MFC pick 31 and pick 68 to Kangas 

    2- Dogs pick 14 - swap for MFC pick 26,33. Gets Dogs 1290 points  

    ### End up with 3 picks 14, 43 , 50. ###

    not too fussed about getting into the first round this year. such a compromised draft and no combine etc means it will be hard to know who the quality picks are outside of the top 10.  keep some second rounders and hope for a gem

    Get brown and a back up ruck.

    then win the flag.

    In all honesty I haven't seen it anywhere outside of this site. I mentioned him after he was delisted and have seen one or two other posters mention his name in whispers.

    But he does make sense IMO. Seasoned 27 year old small defender/HB with a bit of pace and good kicking skills. Kind of what we need.

    A shock move out of the blue that hasn't been rumoured about or known well in advance....  like how it happens in every other sport in the world.

    I know thats high hopes for the world of AFL where the players/AFLPA control everything but you never know.

    Getting more picks in 2021 draft, apparently shaping up to be one of the best in while, almost super.

    It’s all whispers and hearsay.  The 2021 draftees are mostly unknown outside of some under 16 championship games and the WA and SA colts league this year.  I think the. Super draft of 2021 is certainly not yet a known factor.

    Don't think, do!

    Pretty underwhelming to date. I'm a big believer that we lack depth. We need to get rid of the NQR's and those that are cooked and replace them with either ready made players or those with potential to make the grade.

    I'm sorry but if guys like Oskar Baker , Joel Smith, et al play more than five games next year we are stuffed!

    Pick 31 for Ben Brown

    Pick 26, 33, 50 for Bulldogs pick 14 and future 4th

    Parma, chips and pint at the pub. Should be a good day.

    would rather cedric cox at 22yo with more upside tbh.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
