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.

 

Interesting Rioli wants out at west coast,now thats a bad want out

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?

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

33

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?!

 

His mum's message on Facebook is very sweet, although it does pretty much confirm that his head hasn't been in it all year.

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: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    It’s Game Day and the Demons return to the scene of the crime to take on the wooden spooners.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
