Does packaging 16, 25 or 35 + a F1 get us another top 10 pick in 2023? On sheer points value, this package would easily be equivalent surely, but whether someone in the top 10 would do it, who knows...

I doubt any top 10 pick club would take that deal despite the inherent value.

My suggestion in another thread was that we could aim for a top 5 and a top 10 pick by multiple deals with different clubs.

eg using the picks you mention I could see us using 25, and F1 for a pick in the low teens to mid teens.  Then package that up with pick 16 giving two good first round picks to get a top 10 pick from different club. 

Then see where the Freo pick falls to see if we need to go higher and use #35 plus whatever to sweeten the deal.  We will probably get other picks in if we trade out players (even for third round picks) which again can be packaged to clubs who need points and upgrade $35.

Overall, I do think a top 5 and a top 10 pick in this draft is quite achievable - it just depends how we package the picks to get a top 10 pick in the first instance.

    Freo have nothing. Lions are in cruise mode here and are still way better than them.

    If the Lions decides to click into top gear they'll win this by a 100 points

    I think this could work IF the Suns finish with something around pick 7/8 and their academy player is thought to go higher. If they can’t trade up it would be a very attractive offer for them.

    It’s the natural impact of playing bad teams. Watch us do the same tonight.

    Agree that a top 5 and 10 is very achievable depending what we do during the trade period prior. If our F/S pick expected to go mid twenties it would make sense to trade up with our two second round picks.

    Yes, lots of permutations.

    Like you I would much rather we aim for a top 5 and top 10 pick than use all our chips for pick 1, the original hypothetical in the other thread.

    There will definitely be more than one elite midfielder in the top 5 and then aim for the next best whatever with the top 10 pick.

    We have a top 5 pick from Freo. Take that to the bank.

    I’m death riding them all the way to a bottom 3 finish. 
    Let’s go!

    Yesss. GWS got up with a goal in the last minute. Top 5 pick is a big chance for us.

    So.... do we strategically drop games against the bottom 4 to improve our pick?

    I'm still bitter at Goodwin for beating the Tigers last week.

    If Richmond and Norff win Freo will be 16th but I dont think thats  particularly what were looking for this afternoon or night depending where youre at.

    I wholly agree - I mean Goodwin has a pretty good strike rate week to week, sure… but you’re right - he is not looking at the bigger picture, he is not succession planning - he is ultimately about himself… so is he the right guy? 🤨

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
