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 really need to recruit a tall guy who can take a mark.

    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.

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

    Freo are proving to be my main interest in 2023. The fun seems to get better every week.

    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? 🤨

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
