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

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
