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?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
