Can't wait to hear Mark 'Shifter' Sheehan refer to every player selected as "elite".

I'm looking forward to reading comments about how fantastic our draftees are based on 3-minute highlight packages.

Now that WB has entered the race for pick 4 Essendon may take their offer instead.

Can't see the details. What are they offering? Link?

The Western Bulldogs have emerged as a shock contender to snatch Essendon’s No.4 draft pick in a plot twist to the Josh Dunkley trade saga.

The Dogs, armed with selections 11, 21, 39 as well as two first-round selections in the 2023 draft, have made a late pitch to poach the prized selection.

They received picks 21 and Brisbane Lions’ future first-round pick as part of the Dunkley deal that stretched the trade deadline due to tense negotiations.

The Herald Sun can reveal that the Dogs are one of four clubs locked in 11th-hour talks with the Bombers over the No.4 pick.

Melbourne also has strong interest and, like the Dogs, has significant draft capital in 2023 to help broker a deal.

They probably have us beat if they're offering both future firsts along with pick 11.

Think Essendon hold onto pick 4 regardless.

Dees to bid on Davey @ 13 if Dons don't trade with us (opinion but hopefully fact), wiping out pick 22

  • Author

It was reported on Sunday night Melbourne had offered three first-round picks - pick 13 this year, plus future picks tied to the Demons and Fremantle - for picks 4 and 22.

Now the Herald Sun has reported the Western Bulldogs, who own picks 11, 21 and 39 plus two future first-round picks (their own and Brisbane’s) are also making a bid for the Bombers’ prized selection.

And Brad Johnson or Mick Ablett claim all are great value where taken and every second club got a steal.

I cannot believe that pick 4 and 22 are worth 3 first round picks to pick 2 untried players with potential?

So we are trading 3 untried players with potential for 2 untried players with potential.

Our 3 first round picks are 13 this year and next year is totally dependent on where Melbourne and Fremantle finish. Say Freo are 6th and Melbourne are 4th then we are trading 2022 13 and 2023 13 & 15 for 2022 4 & 22. I suppose it all depends on how you rate 4, 13 & 22 this year. Normally 4 would be significantly higher than 13 with the gap between 13 & 22 much smaller. I assume Melbourne is after a specific player that will definitely go Top 5, and still think they'll get someone decent at 22.

For those that can read it it's an article written around these figures. Top ten statistically is far more valuable than the next tier.

Lies, damned lies & statistics. Why group 1-10 & 11-20? Why not 1-5, 6-10,11-15, 16-20? Having said that, the average games differential is surprisingly close. There are so many other variables but I accept elite talent does make a difference. I would argue everything other than say average games & All Australian Selections is fairly meaningless.

We'll find out soon but I don't see the Bulldogs future firsts being any better than Melbourne's. Will Brisbane & Western Bulldogs finish lower than Melbourne & Fremantle in 2023?

I think the bombers would be foolish to trade pick 4.
There is a swag of obviously highly talented players in this draft and they will all go early.

If there's a swag by definition they all won't go early. If there's only 5 highly talented players and a big gap after that, I agree you don't trade 4 but if you think there's not a huge gap between 4 & 13 then why not? When do the highly-talented players run out? 5, 10, 15 or even 20?

Madness! I'm not saying Cal Twomey is infallible but he doesn't rate Davey Top 30. If Melbourne bid for Davey we'd likely get stuck with a player we don't need or want as Essendon wouldn't match the bid.

Typo

Pretty much as expected.

 

1 GWS   Aaron Cadman

2 Brisbane  Will Ashcroft

3 North Melbourne  Harry Sheezel

4 North Melbourne  George Wardlaw

Feel sorry for kids drafted to Essendon. Good luck. 

Is it just top 10 that get presented there jumper by someone from the club?

5   Essendon   Elijah  Tsatas

 


Poor Cameron McKenzie, gets presented with his jumper by David Hale. Surely Hawthorn could have got someone else. I mean Cadman got his jumper from Toby & the Essendon kid got his from Matty Lloyd

Although Hale is a triple premiership player, compared to Lloyd’s one; but admittedly Lloyd has a higher profile.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
