That’s an absolute steal. Acres will likely play round 1.  Had a very good year with Freo. Future 3rd!!!! Pick 50ish in 2023. Wtf. Carlton are the obvious winner. 

Looks like a pure money deal

Freo reportedly offered 180k per year.. Carlton offering $350k

    I think a statement needs to be made here and an example set.  Send him into the draft and he takes his chances.  No deal!!

    We would then get nothing in return.  SFA.  Zilch.

    The statement we'd be making is "We're so dumb we're prepared to cut off our nose to spite our face".

    Yes but he potentially doesn't get to Freo... that's the point.  Forces their hand.

    Not when you consider his contract is for about $350K

    Freo are getting fleeced!! Logue walks into the Kangas and they give up very little and it’s delayed until 2023.  

    F2nd and F3rd is all NM have.

    Bad outcome for us. Leaves us no closer to getting a top 10 pick for Jackson. Anything outside top 10 is a failure for us. Sucks for us Freo are a sh*t club!

    A [censored] club that has pick 13, what do you call the clubs with the top 10 picks?

    You're saying we should tell Freo that we will send him to the draft?   It would be an empty threat.

    As if they'd buy a scenario where neither of the the clubs nor the player get what they want.

    We'll cut a deal with Freo (or West Coast, I don't care) and get the best result we can.

    Absolute turnover merchant, who finds himself at his third club.

    TPP?

    They used AFL assistance picks.  Not ok?

    The bundling of 13 with North's F2nd  ( say approx 21 ) will go a long way to getting us the first pick we want.

    Then Freo's F1st plus the Lobb pick and or the Acres pick, will do the same for the second pick we want.

    Or just give us all of those picks, plus the North F3rd and we will do the deals.

    We could easily end up with 2 picks inside 10.

    Then ask them to throw in Treacy and they have LJ.

    So we would get initially 13, North F2nd and F3rd, Freo F1st, Lobb pick and Acres pick F50 something.

    See how easy it is.

    Yeah, I meant more that they still have to pay wages that take up total player payments, so they're not really free.

    AFL 3rd rd compo #52-53 for Hunt as a UFA 

    —————————

    * GWS likely to offer #43 (GWS 3rd rd) for Bedford .  

    BUT Dees should push for GWS 21 for Bedford and MFC pick 32.
    * Dees likely to then offer magpies the #21 for Grundy 

    —————————

    * FREO likely to offer acquired pick 8 (from Port to Kangas as part of JHF trade ; Kangas then use in deal to get Logue) PLUS  Freo 2023 future 1st rd for Jackson 

    ^^either use pick 8 to get McKenzie, Phillipou or Hollands OR offer GWS the package of pick 8 and Freo future 1st to get pick 3 (GWS) to get either Cadman or Tsatas.  

    I like your work. Pick 8 + Freo future 1st for GWS pick will depend on who GWS have their eye on. They are also in need of a KPF which makes me think they’ll potentially not trade to give us first dibs.

    I haven't listened to one word of trade radio.

    It's my own silly idea, that might not be that silly, as it can be easily done by the Dockers, if they want to finish this trade right now.

    Would you do that deal if you were Tim Lamb?  I would.

    Can future picks be used for their points value.

    Given the amount of players they are losing   Freo will have to keep some picks to fill spots on their list.

    The Dockers currently have every pick in my scenario except the Lobb pick.

    If they clear Lobb to the Dogs and give us that pick, with the others they already have, it would be an easy deal.

    They have apparently already offered us 13 and F1st and we have refused.

    In other words, they throw in North F2nd and North F3rd and maybe Acres F50 something and clear Lobb and give us the pick.

    If they were serious about Jacko and are worried about WCE, then do it now and it's done, all over, finished.

    They will get picks for retired and delisted players. I think you only need to add 3 players and they are trading in players too.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • 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?
