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

    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?

    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?

    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

    We will not give a top 10 pick for Grundy

    That was even a concern?!

    I guess a few posters owe @Grand New Flag an apology 

    Based on what exactly? A few Demonlanders buying into this theory with 0 evidence?

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
