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: 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?
