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

    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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
