    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?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
