West coast ruled out using pick 2 straight for LJ. No way they give up pick 2 and 20 lol.

Knowing nothing about Trade Radio,  is the above a runour, likely deal, or Adam Cooney (as usual) being silly?

    Random hypothetical that has no basis in reality.

    13 + F1st + North's F2nd for Jackson +  our F2nd + Brisbane's F2nd (from GWS for Toby). That would be similar to the Jeremy Cameron trade.

    Edit: that can't happen because I got the GWS - Brisbane swap around the wrong way. But maybe we can get something for Toby to make this work, e.g. Richmond's 31 via the Hopper trade.

    All spit-balling. It is surprising how much of that they are still doing now that the period has started.

    Geelong now in the box seat for Bowes, so that didn't age well...Essendon CEOs have been known to last longer than that!

    But I thought it was MFC deciding where he goes depending on the best trade?

    Except that Bowes is going to Geelong.

    Pies would love to get their hands on 7, as part of the Henry deal, but may settle for 18, now that Cats have 7. Other picks could be involved.

    Half the present team at Hawthorn doesn't want to play with them anyway.

    Agent Jayden on the case. Good lad

    I’d  actually feel less guilty about moving Hunt on if this was to eventuate.

    West Coast are making far too many moves and gestures to be a team that doesn't believe they're a legitimate trade option for Luke Jackson.

    GWS and Sydney but not good ones. North might end up with pick 8 and could trade 8 and their future first but I can’t imagine they’d be too keen.

    Have to imagine the Eagles would want to use a top 10 pick. So they’d need to find a team with 2 of them to give us one. 

    Gold Coast should have 5 and 7 but they’re Gold Coast!

    Agreed.

    Meanwhile Freo are weakening their draft hand wanting to trade in 2 GCS players.

    Unless they can somehow swap F1st round picks (and others to get the right balance) as part of the trade their chances of getting a deal done for LJ are slipping.

    So we get pick 13 and GCS F1st. 

    It works in theory but can't see them doing that.

    #7 is gone with Bowes to Geelong

    I could see a situation where that pick 2 goes to the Cats for pick 7, 18 and potentially a swap of picks. 

    The Eagles are more keen on picks in the teens due to W.A talent there and would be rapt if they could get in Jackson for 7 and 20 and keep pick 18 in the first round i reckon

    They could swap with GWS for 12 and 15 +/- equalisers.   Use 15 and give us 12 and their own F1st!!

    The problem is that the Cats need to find two first round picks for Henry and Bruhn so pick 2 doesn't help them do those trades.  Of course they could offer it to GWS and get 12 and 15/19 back.

    So many permutations!

    I wish next Wednesday would come round quickly!!

    I hate the Cats with a passion.  If we lose Jacko and get pick 18 (and a future whatever) while they upgrade to pick 2 (essentially because they can pay Bowes salary) I will spew 🤮

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
