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.

    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.

    • 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?
