Some intern there needs to get a life. 

You have mixed up posts. Alpha 33 said he had a headache, not Demon Disciple.

This misquoting is giving me a headache.

    Cornes isn't backing down on the Kozzie rumour (which he made up). He now believes Kozzie will move to an S.A team in 2023 saying what Lamb said yesterday was 'a lie'.

    Brisbane get 35 (522pts) as compensation for McStay, I bet they were hoping for end of first round 19 (942pts) for points.

    Effectively free? That's not really how the TPP cap works, Marc.

    The said tweet was clearly in regards to the deal of draft picks.

    You have taken the word “free” totally out of context.

    Kindly name one player who has played for “free” since 1990.

    Pick 27 for a Salary Dump is a fair trade

    Can future picks be used for their points value. 

    what point value? they don't yet even have a pick number, just a range

    Nah we have two headaches on this page, possibly more.

    This was in reference to the mega trade idea.

    Carlton get compo pick 49, for a 31 year old, who retired, rather than accept an AFL Covid Vaccination ruling, while we get 53, for a 27 year old, who played 40 games in the last two years and has signed a 3 year deal with another club.

    Surely the compo can't be in the same round for those two situations.

    This stinks to high heaven.

    So it seems some commentators and journalists do the bidding of some clubs. I can't find any other reason to insists on this baseless rumour.

    Jones surely a lot more money, which is a worry for the dogs. But you’re right, 31 year should get nothing. Retired player nothing too.

    And the picks should be giving at ends and middles of round then only ordered in ladder order from there if multiple picks are in the same band.

    Cal stating we are "anticipated" to use only 2 picks on the national draft and will offer 27 to the pies for Grundy.

    Perhaps a reflection that this is a weaker draft - also that we went for it somewhat last year and have enough younger players coming through.

  • Quote

    Yeah I think it's likely we will trade our future first from next year to snare a best 22 player or to combine with Jackson comp to get as high up the draft as we can.  As Lamb said - we are in "win now" mode.  Future draft picks are irrelevant regardless of the quality of next year's draft.

    If we are only using 2 picks I would think they will be very high picks. I expect us to be aggressive in trying to get our trading done early to give us the best possible chance of moving up the board. 
    I wonder if the JHF to Port has made it more urgent to get our deals done. I assume North will want at least one pick at the very pointing end of this years draft to be part of the deal. Given how difficult top 7 picks are to trade for JHF trade could make the market a lot more competitive.

    I thought the same 

    Hunt went for effectively “absolutely nothing in return” !!!

    Do we have any updated national draft predictiors? Or is that only done after the combines are completed. 
     

    Im interested to find out the expected trade order and when the two (quality rated) KPF are expected to go based on the list needs of clubs. I think everyone of the top 8 picks can make a play for getting their hands on a KPF, but it just depends on whether they have bigger priorities.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
