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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
