The Dunkley trade:

  • Brisbane receives Josh Dunkley, a future third-round selection and a future fourth-round selection (tied to Melbourne)
  • Western Bulldogs receive a second-round pick (currently No.21), a future first-round selection, a future second-round selection and a future fourth-round selection (tied to Geelong)

Thought the F4 swap interesting.  One tied to Geelong, one tied to us.   It will probably be pick 60 something for pick 60 something and the advantage could go either way.

Hardly worth swapping.

    Thanks. No, it wasn't just your post, I have seen it stated the same way in the media i.e. only the 2nd round pick being qualified as "tied to Freo".

    Cheers

    Freo only had the one future first. So no need to clarify.

    They had a pair of 2nd rounders. They had  their own and they had North Melbourne’s special pick from the Logue trade.

    So in the interest of some clarity they specify the second round pick is the one tied to Freo’s ladder position

    Very good business overall

    Hopefully the bed wetters can calm down now

    Firstly, let me congratulate the Dees for another extraordinary trade period.   


    For those wanting to know who the KPF Melbourne is after.  Its Mitch Georgiades.  We have super currency next year.  2 firsts and 3 second round draft picks when Mitch is out of contract.  We will continue to go hard for him.  As I said before, the club thinks they can get him.  They think he and JVR are the two-pronged KPF for the future.  No doubt if Mitch is unattainable, they will look elsewhere for the medium-term missing piece of the puzzle.

    Again, congratulations to the recruiting team.

    As long as Kosi is in no way involved in a trade for Georgiades next year I’m happy.

    Am I wrong for now feeling a bit ticked off at Port?

    They ain’t gonna challenge for the flag next year, may as well have given us Mitch in our own more realistic pursuit of the flag in 2023.

    I noticed the same thing. I took it as a slight on our team. Brisbane think we are going to finish significantly lower than Geelong.

     I get that Richmond brought some decent talent in this trade period, as things currently stand do they have a draft pick before 2024?

    2022:  53 and 63

    2023:  Rnd 2 (tied to Coll), Rnd 3 (tied to Freo)

    Hmm, not sure how they managed to trade out rnd 4 and rnd 1 next year as technically that isn't allowed.  But the data on the AFL website may not have been updated for the flurry of late trades.

    Oh well, slim pickings for them this year.  They will have to trade out players next year to avoid the same.

    Both Hardwick and Dusty are out of contract in 2024.  Maybe he is going all out for another premiership in the next two years then perhaps move on?

    Tim Lamb comments are spot on I reckon

    “We don't get tied up in the minutiae of every little deal, which I think is an approach that we take, which allows us to get deals done generally in a timely fashion.

    “If you look at Luke (Jackson) going out, Brodie’s come in. We've lost Jayden Hunt as a free agent and Lachie Hunter comes in. Kade Chandler will come up from the rookie list to replace Toby Bedford, who we lost. Sam Weideman goes out, Josh Schache comes in. Then we've got a much-improved draft hand.”

    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

    Hawks just giving away their midfield for nothing. Absolute shambles. 
     

    Freo getting O’Meara pisses me off. We need them to suck next year.

    I wonder if he's hinting here that Hunter will play off half back if he's insinuating like for like with Hunt.

    It's not like O'Meara is a particularly good player though. He's as slow as a wet week, not all that damaging and doesn't average anywhere near 25 possessions. Maybe he'll be alright alongside Freo's midfield, but he shouldn't be the difference in Freo's fortunes. I assume they view him as the mature age Mundy replacement, but nowhere near as smooth.

    Agree, O'meara is no-where near the talent he was or could have been without the injuries.

    The only impressive thing about O’Meara is his biceps

    He'll be 29 next year and has a degenerative knee issue.

    He's basically cooked.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
