The Bombers have put pick 4 on the trade table. I wonder if we go after it. The top 5 are meant to be quality (although you can never be 100% sure).

    I love how the club place’s  higher value on the overall list vs the individual trade. 
     

    Grundy is more value than Dogga in the next couple of years. 
     

    Scache is like for like for Wiedeman. More upside IMO as the Weed did not suit our system and Shack can play back and is tall to compete as a ruck. 
     

    Hunter provides a better midfield wing option we lacked with Jordan and Brayshaw Jordan and Brayshaw are better as other midfield options. 
     

    Chandler is like for like with Bedford. 
     

    We now have more variety and proven talent… and a better draft hand to play thid and next year

    An overall improvement IMO

    Interesting that we offered Bedford a 4 year deal. Giants must be paying overs.

    Hawks are going to be a creche. 

    They want to finish bottom next year to pickup Harley Reid. A bottom ager  who could well have been No1 this year.

    I was under the impression that clubs couldn't offload early picks for multiple later picks for points to get f/s nominees. Clubs could only hold the number of picks for the number of vacancies they had. How were the Bears given the green light to get rid of their 1st rounder for 2nd and 3rd rounders? They now have 7 picks in this draft to cover for Will Ashcroft (possible #1) and Jaspa Fletcher (late 1st or early 2nd). Doubt they have 7 vacancies

    Having said that, we have young Brown next year and there's a #40 plus chance for NGA Riak Andrew, brother of Mac

    They were the rules until 2020 and the AFL changed them to allow more picks than list spots supposedly to help during covid.  Ironically it helped just a few clubs.  Terrible situation in a supposedly equalised league.

    Without going too MFCSS, you can bet that they will close that loophole when we need picks for Brown just like the NGA rule changes were the year we were due to draft Andrew Mac!   We could sure do with him now as a developing ruckman!

    Thank you for this excellent analysis! 🙂👍

    This really helps to paint an overall "big picture" of the Melbourne Demons' AFL list and where we sit regarding list management and draft picks.

    I am going to take back my grumbling about MFC List Manager Tim Lamb (I listened to his interview with SEN Radio) regarding the Luke Jackson trade. In the end, we got the best deal that we could of due to the circumstances. Overall, we should be in a strong position for this year's draft as well as next year's draft too.

    Fingers crossed we can obtain some good young recruits with draft picks 13# and 37#. 🤞

     

    My only question is......will draft pick 37# end up being a pick in the late 20's or early 30's due to Brisbane banking up on draft picks so that they have enough points to obtain Father-Son pick Will Ashcroft with the number 1# pick in this year's AFL National Draft? 🤔

     

    No worries mate 👍. Ashcroft, Fletcher & Davey will go before our 37. Brisbane have 34, 35 & 36, Essendon have 22. They will be gone once father sons are bid on but not sure if Davey will be bid on before 22. I have no idea if there are any good academy players from BL, GCS, GWS or Sydney that a team will bid on before 37. If not our pick will be 36 once fs bids have been matched for Ashcroft, Fletcher & Davey.

    Essendon will either trade 22 up ahead of a Davey bid or out to picks in the 30/40’s is my guess. But yes, 37 won’t move far if at all

    Any idea if there are any academy players from QLD or Sydney who could be bid on before 37 DS?

    I am going to throw out a left field idea for the club talk to Ryder and convince him to Join the MFC on the rookie list as backup ruck for 1 year.

    I think he's done, and I highly doubt he'd want to come and do a pre-season and all the training just to be backup, whereas if he wanted too he'd still be no1 ruck at a few clubs.

    I was thinking a similar thing with McEvoy.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
