    I'm predicting ...

    Jackson will end up at Freo for their 2022 and 2023 1sts and some net-zero-value garnishing.

    We'll then trade one of our 2 2023 1sts to Collingwood for Brodie Grundy.

    Yep can see that happening too

    swap LJ for Grundy and end up with something around pick 10. Doesn’t sound good but it’s realistic

    Pies can have our pick 34 for Grundy. He’s not worth anything more than that IMHO.

    The pick we used to get Max 😉

    GCS will after the Rankine trade:  Adelaide's first and their own:  #5 and # 7.  However, there is some noise that Crows don't want to deal #5 so playing hard ball as they did with the Swans for Dawson and Swans had to accept what at the time appeared to be 'unders'. 

    So GCS's two top 10 picks are better than GWS's bundle of first rounds, which are unlikely to include a top 10 pick.

    Still remains as to  whether GCS want pick 2 to secure a player that they miss out by #5. Do we risk loosing Cadman by waiting for Pick 5->6? 
     

    I think GWS would target Cadman as their KPF stocks are shot.

    Cadman could go at #2, given he is the only quality KPF in the draft, if a team really wants him, pick #2 is not a big reach for him.

    I wonder if MFC has set its sights on Cadman in the way that DL has?

    DL logic:   We need a tall fwd + Cadman is a tall fwd = Lets get Cadman.

    I know nothing about Cadman and don't doubt his worth but maybe the Club has other priorities.  Just saying.

    So I have an open mind on how we might use the draft picks we get for Jackson eg we may prefer two picks in the 9-12 range than pick 2 or pick 3.

    See, I said I know nothing about him 🙂

    My read of DL was folks see him as the answer to our 'tall' fwd woes.  So if Cadman isn't a replacement in a year or two for BBrown and we have JVR of Cadman's size what is the attraction of Cadman?

    He's 196cm according to the man himself from the road to the draft podcast he featured on. Probably still growing as an 18yr old.

    Cal Twomey's latest:

    But now the Demons will be locked in trade talks. If he chooses Fremantle the reigning premiers would be expected to target two first-round picks for Jackson, including a very early selection this year inside the top-10.

    The Dockers hold pick 13 in this year's draft, but could look to move up the draft board using other selections, with the club bracing for trade requests from Rory Lobb, Blake Acres and Darcy Tucker, with Griffin Logue also considering a move to Victoria.

    West Coast holds picks No.2, 20 and 26 this year but as AFL.com.au reported in May, would need AFL approval to trade its first pick under League rules. The AFL would be expected to tick that off given Jackson’s age and experience.  However, the Eagles look set to protect their strong draft hand this year, with pick No.2 not considered likely to be part of a trade package to attempt to land Jackson. 

    Looks like Freo but it will take some time for them to get their trade package sorted.

    So now we wait.  It will be a long month!

    He's drawn comparisons to Cameron with his aerobic ability, and footskills to go along with his contested marking and goal kicking.  Haven't seen him live so have no idea how realistic those comparisons are.

    i can see the comparison to cameron from his highlights, got great basics

    looks like though he would need another 1 or more years development before the seniors (but you never know)

    We have one developing tall in JVR. I think that's enough. We need a proven KPF imv. That's where I'd like to spend our draft capital

    It seems likely Cadman will be an answer to the TMac type forward that gets up the ground and allows a Brown-type to play deep.

    Isn't that JVR's role? 

    Wouldn't we be better off chasing a BBrown type forward rather than Cadman?

    cadman seems an interesting prospect

    but if we are losing jackson, i want highly talented mids not a key forward per se

    our midfield depth, skill, and lack of rotations is as big an issue and part of the reason why we have had inability to convert opportunities in the back half of this season

    The money deal for Jackson at either WA clubs could well be a big factor

    e.g. 7 years @ X amount vs 5 years @ X amount could be the play

    And the total amount of $$$$'s could be different as well.  $$$$'s per year being another factor

    So any trade might have to be dependant on how much money will be coming LJ's way

    If one team drops out we might know the reason why

    And the bidding war could be short lived

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
