Oh man, that's gross. I get we probably won't use 27 and 35, but both of them for a 3 pick upgrade? Yuck

You’d have to think it’s part of a larger plan involving pick 11? Definitely overs from a points perspective to jump only three places…

 

Package with pick 11 & 6 to move up further you'd think.

I hope there is more picks involved in this trade

You'd hope so, given Adelaide paid only 23 and 26 for our previously held 14 and Chris Burgess...

We must have a cunning plan!

Hey West Coast, here's 4 Toyota Corollas we are willing to swap for your Ferrari.

But the points !! 
 

YOU ARE FORGETTING THE 4 COROLLA POINTS ARE MORE THAN THE FERRARI POINTS

I'm just not up to scratch with the whole Elon stuff.

No offence taken from my end?

Isn't it funny that I mentioned taking on the Haynes contract with the bonus pick (as a possibility of covering Petty if the trade actually eventuated) and then a few posts later Mach comes through with something he may have heard. 

Did you read my post? 

Is there anyone aware that I may not have alllll of the machinations given I'm not in list management?! But that possibilities would be there that we can't see. So why even comment?!? 

Man. 

This place is crazy, honestly. We were so close to making a Grand Final. Without Petty. What's going on here?! 

With petty our chances of making the grand final would have gone right up. In hindsight it may have been the difference. Considering we lost two finals by less than two goals and Collingwood won three finals by about 2 goals it was a season of very fine margins. God, imagine if we had melksham and Gus. We could have romped it in.

Does the question mark indicate you are not sure if offence was taken at your end?

I endorse this 

If there’s a player besides Reid we really want and we know he most likely won’t be there with the picks we have now I say go for it.

Which end?

Jon Ralph “reporting” that we intend to offer a pick in the 30s for McAdam. Given we just traded out 35, he goes on to suggest we will be on-trading the pick we get for Grundy.

Will 6, 11 and a future first get the Reid deal through? Hope so would love him on our side.

After GC x 3 academy picks 6 might become 7 and 11 might become 13 or 14. not sure 7 + 14 + Dees 24 1st swing its.

There must be a cunning plan though. Await further developments.

 

Does that mean aim to use up all out picks this year (except one for Pup Brown) and a first from 2024 on Harley Reid?

Oh, and McAdam and Fullerton, I guess

That's some belief the club must have in him

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
