Does this make general sense...

Naughton to WCE for pick 1/2

Lobb plus Freo first pick (16) to Dogs for pick 1/2 to Freo

Freo's pick 1/2 plus Meek to MFC for Jackson

There is no way the Dogs do this deal.  Lobb is over 30 and a hack

    I love how Demonland is so pessimistic about us being 3rd on the ladder, but can convince itself effortlessly that a generational forward from a competing team is going to stroll on over into our goal square.

    North will build their forward line around Larkey. No way they let him leave unless he wants out in a contract year, and even then they should push him to the PSD and draft him again.

    If Jackson goes we offer North what we get for him in picks and offer Larkey the same contract we would offer Jackson.

    Definitely a long shot but if Larkey stays he has to play through 3-5 years of rebuilding before they're at our level.  Come to us and he'll play finals every year (we hope).

    Surely more chance of getting him than Noughton / King bros etc

    No room for Gary Ablett Senior to come out of retirement in a forward pocket?

    I've really enjoyed watching Larkey for a while now and really have just assumed he's untouchable, as a real generational key forward that North can build their forward line on.

    However, what would it take to get it done? He'd be huge for us.

    If it makes it easier for you, just imagine an "if this rumour is true" in front of the naughton trade packages. No one here is commenting under any conviction that a rumour is fact.

    Everyone knows the DL draft and trade forum is the most fun place for thought experiments, to take our minds off the losses  :laugh:

    Idea? 

    Freo: revieve Jackson 

    Doggiez: Lobb, future first and/or second split between freo and dees 

    Dees: naughton 

    I think the real difficult part of this idea is how to compensate the doggies on a player signed to an elite player signed to a 4 year contract. I do think a 3 way trade is likely between us all since I also have trouble deciding how freo will compensate us in a trade. Maybe involving Collingwood (grundy) or north (larkey).

    The question is, if you're a WB list manager, how much is enough to satisfy your fans that you bled both Melb/Freo to get the most satisfying package for losing a generational key forward with 2 years left on a contract

    WB aren't walking out of this without 3 first round picks at a minimum,  2 from Freo, 1 future from Melb. Lobb is steak knives in all of this. Jeremy Cameron at 27 was 3 firsts, Naughton is 22.

    How about we offer Nort to swap / return our PREMIERSHIP FF, BBB, for Larkey who has never even played a final.  Seems very fair.  🤗🤔🙄

    Been thinking the same names. 

    Geogiades is the most intriguing one for me, he looks a natural forward with his leading patterns and he can mark in contests.

    But is he a No 1 forward? 

    Henry and McLean I just haven’t seen enough of.

    Ben Brown will still be our #1 but he needs help.

    BB And georgiades is a good set up and JVR developing too, which he will eventually take Brown's spot.

    or maybe JVR might play the jackson role next yr.

    but i really like the idea of getting Georgiades

    they can trade it, but have to get a first rounder back in,  can trade out their first round and get in a later first rd plus more.

    West coast can also get permission to trade their first this year. They would likely get permission if it was used to get a young player such as Jackson.

    Thommo must have market value to a lot of clubs needing a ready made key defender. We'd be struggling for KPD depth without him though.

    From a selfish point of view let’s keep as depth, but why would he want to stay when he could play in the seniors.

    The Doggies are one that are in dire need. Straight swap Thommo <> Naughton 😮.

    In all seriousness, he is probably a 3rd round pick.  Or maybe consider having a crack at Brucey? I'd watch him closely over the next 2 games, to see whether his body can keep going.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
