This hasn't been the process for a few years now. If you want to upgrade a player from the rookie list you just have to have an open list spot.

Therefore, the pick doesn't actually get used.

True, a list spot is needed which we have.

But a draft pick needs to be 'used' albeit as high as 6th or 7th round. 

That upgrade 'draft selection' counts as one of the 3 minimum players each club needs to draft.

The Dees have given Port Adelaide picks 33, 43 and 53 in exchange for pick 27.

 

 

 

"We have today been involved in a pick swap that sees us improve our hand in this year's draft," Melbourne list manager Tim Lamb told Melbourne Media.

 

 

 

"We have been able to do so by bundling three selections, including two that we did not intend to use at the national draft this year.

 

 

 

"It has always been our philosophy to try and improve our draft hand every year and we're pleased to be able to acquire selection No.27 through this trade."

 

Trades out - 1200 points  #33,43,53

(equivalent picks total to pick 14) 

Trades in - 700 points #27
 

hmmmm I thought we’d use pics to bundle up points to see what we’d get from the Lions who need points 

Is pick 27 enough for Grundy !!??? I thought Pies wanted a pick inside top 25 at least

I'd be guessing that Brissy will probably swap picks with Gol Coast, who have a heap of picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, as compared to us. I'm sure we probably asked the question of a few clubs and Port must have come back with the best offer.


Strange times.

One can only guess that a whole string of clubs have reached in principle agreements on what they would need, and now it is all being shuffled around, while a whole bunch of points-picks are getting ready to be hurled into the fireplace.

Looks like once again we'll have that weird situation where picks 15-30 or so are all pushed back a few places by the early bids, while picks 30+ start to compress as a dozen picks get cooked out for the academy sauce.

 

Makes sense. Bundle up picks we're not using anyway for 27 which we send to the pies for Grundy.

No messing about from the MFC. Just getting it done. Freo should take note.

We get Grundy because they want him gone simple and we don't need to over pay.

 

If we were only going to use pick 33 and nothing beyond that, then why not turn 33 to 27? Who cares about the late picks we would have passed up anyway. 
 

An interesting move. 🤔

Perhaps Melbourne will on-trade pick 27# to GWS for Toby Bedford and pick 21#?

Then trade pick 21# to Collingwood for Brodie Grundy perhaps?

 


Love it or hate it. Dees get deals done

I've forgotten, did the Pies say they wanted a pick for Grundy inside 25 or 21?

25

Points schmoints 

If we are using 27 for Grundy (or onto GWS with Bedford for 19/21) then no doubt we have spoken to those clubs and they have said theyd rather pick 27 than our three picks (despite being worth more points)

All the talk is that this draft has no depth so perhaps the extra late picks not as valuable as other years


It also means we have nothing extra to offer the Grundy deal.  Here is 27, we have no other 2nd or third rounders.  But happy to give you a fourth rounder!  Deal done!

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. 

....Bang!

So does Aidan Riley....

i was gonna say neitschke but aidan riley is definitely more niche

The pick for Bedford is part of the #27 swap.  As it will become a pick int he 40's its final value is a lot more than the points it currently has. 

Just saying we paid a hefty premium for # 27. 

Not so sure LH Reckon 27 is Grundy's to Pies snd we are not taking  44 off GWS yet for Toby. Still have 52 from WC For flexibility to repay back in a deal.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
