    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 think we will use more than 2 picks.

    Would have preferred LJ stayed with us and we wouldn’t have had too go down the Grundy path. Sooooo what would happen if dockers and eagle’s cannot come up with a fair deal and LJ decides to come back to us, because he wants us too get a fair deal I hope, he’s got Kates phone number😁,can he do that or does he have to go thru the draft? Far fetched I know, has it happened in the past, I cannot recall it happening. Go Dees

    Bedford, Hunt, Jackson, Rosman +/- Baker out.

    Grundy in. Chandler promoted? 

    That’s 2-3 main list spots as is. And 3 rookie spots.

    Baker, Hibberd and Melksham could all be redrafted as rookies rather than main listers so there’s plenty of flexibility to add more players or lose more players.

    I’d go to the draft with at least 2 main picks and a 3rd pick that we can use or not use depending on the strength of the draft

    Summary anyone?

     

    Basically Freo could have worked with Port for a higher pick to suit us, but now Port need it to secure JHF.

    I’m assuming he can still sign a contract with us.

    We might have to wait for the Bowes trade to get done.

    Geelong would probably to be keen to split pick 7, to facilitate Bruhn & Henry deals.

    Might be our best bet.

    Just as context the points value of #13, Norfs comp pick #20 and Freos future first is at least 3k in total. That’s assuming Freo win the GF (unlikely) so it’s possibly more.

    So we can make a play for just about any pick in the first round if that is what Freo end up offering us. But using all three picks for 1 player seems like a  huge gamble.  

    Much rather ( assuming we get the above picks for LJ), we try to use #13 and Freo’s F1 and make a play for  #5 from Adelaide or #4 from Essendon.  

    You feel like both clubs will need to bottom out some more and given the talent next year could end up with two early first rounders.

    It worse as Jones is 22 in February.

    5 years older than Hunt and he retired of his own volition, yet Carlton now get a higher pick than us for Hunt.

    We lose Hunt who played 40 games in the last two years and Carlton get more for a bloke who was retired for a year.

    It's an absolute joke.

    They got what the rules at the time prescribed.

    We might have got overs in true value and the Hawks unders in value, but that was the formula.

    Now we don't know how the decision is made.

    That said, do you agree with my point?

    Contracts probably similar, both 3rd round compo. Honestly this isn't the kind of thing that gets me worked up ...

    Don't think they'll need another backman after getting Liam Jones.

    They don't have much else.

    Probably only Keath, who has been injured a fair bit.

    My old man just messaged me to say apparently Peter Wright has requested to be traded and that we're interested.

    Has anyone heard this or has the old fella gone off the deep end?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      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?
