I think you’ll see us look to trade in a late first rounder, the plan being to then send that to WC for pick 2, satisfying the AFL’s requirement that they maintain a presence in the first round. 
 

Maybe pick 2 & 20 for pick ~17.

Then pick 20 to pies for Grundy (not what I want, moreso a prediction)

So that would mean we get Grundy (on about $700k) and pick 2 for Jackson + a late 1st rounder?

The late 1st rounder might come from giving up our 2023 1st rounder

Perhaps Cadman with pick 2?

We'll always have that magical 10 minute period in the 3rd quarter of the grand final but let's get a couple of great picks for him and use them to bolster our 16-22 player zone that consistently has let us down this year.

Could be Teddy Hopkins syndrome.

He will walk into the PSD and get picked up by North or he will sign on with us. 
Neither of these things will happen tho. 

But would North pay the high asking price for a player who doesn't want to be there.

WCE sit pretty in the PSD and I'd be amazed if its possible use doesn't get a run in the media

IIRC the PSD was used once before to get a high profile player.

Beware is all I say

It could be:

melb in: Pick 5, pick 14, Grundy pick 26; out Jackson,

wce: in jackson, out picks 2, 26

Adelaide: in rankin, out pick 5, f2nd

gcs: in pick 2, F2nd; out 7, rankin

sydney: in pick 7; out 14, pick 17

collingwood: in pick 17; out Grundy + $350k per year of his contract

I like it except Gc seem to be getting shafted a tad.

Gold Coast shafted big time. A 5 pick upgrade for Rankin would not do it

Clarkson would. It’s zero risk for North. They have endless cap space and could get him for even one year and then trade him back to WA

Excuse me if this has already been asked but what is our 1st pick in the draft? 

As we traded away our first round pick for 2022 already last year, our first pick is now our second round pick at 32. This will fall back further after academy and father son picks. 

We should be aiming for West Coasts pick 2. We can then use it to draft Cadman as a KPF, or split it and do some creative trading and drafting.

Oh please.....so Max couldnt have spent that 15 minutes at the centre bounce against a geriatric Martin?

Ahhh no, there was not much evidence of Max being able to create 3-4 centre clearance generated goals within a couple of minutes

So who did we effectively trade pick 17 to, Nev?

To all the draft gurus out there, if Dogga does go to W.C and we snare pick 2 which players are being mooted in the top 5 of the draft?

 

Ashcroft (mid and f/s to Lions)

George Wardlaw - inside mid compared to Clarry

Elijah Tsatas - speedy mid, can go inside, good kick

Aaron Cadman - key forward, compared to Jeremy Cameron and Harry McKay

Harry Sheezel - medium forward, highly skilled, compared to Stevie J or Toby Greene

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
