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?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
