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.

    Disregard about Werribee it’s not possible to cancel a quote / draft post on the mobile web version (that I can see) and so this isn’t directed at you

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
