It begins !!

Interesting trade, we must be getting a fair hall for Jackson and Bedford.

So our picks for now are 27 & 51?

I’m on the record as predicting the Gawn/Grundy combo won’t work (mainly because of Max being an ineffective forward), but if we can get Grundy for 600k and essentially pick 27 then I’m willing to take the risk. That’s a bargain. 
 

Also remember that pick 27 will blow out to about 32 once all the academy, next Gen and FS get bids.

Grundy for pick 27 would be a steal.

Much better then the original discussion of having to give up a 1st rounder which I was highly against. 

Wonder if we'll package up a future 2nd also?

Sounds like we want the Grundy trade done before the LJ one, so we can't be hassled over the LJ picks.

If we give 27 for Grundy, does that mean we are currently without a pick?

Great strategy if that's the case.

That is a lop sided trade.  We give up picks worth about 1,200 points for one worth about 700 points.

I would have thought whoever is getting pick 27 would do better with the picks we swaped

Odd.

You need to give clubs some incentive to downgrade their pick, you can never 'win' these pointswise

Almost like the points system is junk. 
 

53 - 0 points in this draft

43 - the minimum steak knife to get 33 to 27

Yep, 703 points vs 1174.

I’m pretty sure the original pick swap which got us Kosi Pickett was a clear loss on points value. That’s why you ignore them.

I reckon it's too early to say. Let's see what happens with that pick.

Not necessarily.  With 3 F/S and 1 Academy player in the top 20 a lot of mid range bids will be chewed up by matching bids. 

So a pick in the low 50's will come in to something in the low 40's.

Not to be sneezed at.

This blows trade week wide open. And some people thought we were just sitting on our backsides, but this………….wow. Ingenious. 😁

I was comparing on a straight points basis of the swap.

I'm sure the club has a plan for #27 but I'm surprised to give away such a big premium in a pick swap.


Pick 27 and a future 3rd (which would be say pick 50) = Pick 19 points wise.

Reckon that's a fair deal for Grundy. Fingers crossed.

Pick 27. It's just such a vibe.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
