So it would be a package of our two first round picks this year plus a first round pick from 2024?

Does it only work if the Freo pick is top 5?

I wouldn't give up 3 first round picks for any player who is only an injury away from being a bust.

This is supposed to be a strong draft.

Spread the investment lads.

We don’t need a few good players tho. We need A+ graders otherwise they won’t get a game and they’ll leave. We need another Oliver or Trac. Not another Laurie… absolutely no offense to Laurie I’m just using him as an example.

Yeah I'm a bit torn in this as well. 

He's getting talked up same way as JHF being the generational talent that we haven't seen before.

Think I'll hold reserve on this for now...

I'd rather retain Freo's top 10 (5?) pick

And try to wheel to deal turn our pick, hopefully pick 18, into another top ten pick

Take 2x top 10 picks into draft night, then Kynan Brown with change

Attempt the key word. The [censored] would have to really fall out from Freo to get a high enough pick to make it enticing for an 18th placed Hawks or Eagles. As in Pick 3-4 packaged with our 2x probable Pick 15-18's.

If its Pick 5-10, there's probably no chance with Hawthorn at least. WCE probably more interested due to WA player angle.

as of today Freo looks all but a lock in the bottom 6 of the ladder, so there is a chance the pick does fall in the top 5...

If the Dees did that they'd have shown they've/we've learnt nthing.  And that's simply not the case. I actually think we're among the more savvy and wiley in this league.

Segway ...for a moment.  The introduction of the 19th club... The Devils ( not sure how i feel about that....the name ...lol ) With they're being ushered in comes 3 or 4 years of seriously compromised drafts.

This years draft and maybe next are our chance to snap up and bank some talent before the well goes dry.

You're not going to load up and throw all at 36Red ... no no no

I sense we will fanangle a creep up the positions..but highly doubt an 'all in' 

That for mine would be daft

We will get an A+ grader at our first pick.

I agree with 'adonski' that we should be trying for 2 top 10 picks.

Forgot about that one 'BB', you're spot on.

Time to bank talent also with the hope a few father/sons come good as well

I guess it depends how highly Taylor rates Harley. He might see him as better than any other two top 10 pick available. 
I trust our recruiting team 100%…. And hey we might end up with pick 1 anyway. Freo heave ho.

Our big 'rival' in terms of manoeuvring ourselves up the draft order is GWS. They'll be the ones that will probably get two top 10 draft picks with theirs and holding Richmond's. They might even both be picks lower than Freo's.

Edit: Right now its #3 and #7, but I think it will end up being #5/6 and #8/9. Freo I think will be #5/6

Certainly validity here.... that said the Giants have never been adversarial towards us. We may even be able to help each other ;)

We put the 3 firsts on the table for Essendon, my mail said Phillipou, with an Essendon second rounder back, which really means it’s the equivalent of 2.

Clubs have put similar big deals together for Petracca, JHF, Dusty and probably others.

The problem is if you get a consensus superstar number 1 pick it’s very hard to see a team giving that away.

Best case scenario is our pick is the last one of the first round. Freo’s pick we’ll likely try to upgrade but hey, let’s just get an Oliver and pick 4, that will do.

Reid is a special young player , totally different to a Nick Daicos or Will Ashcroft. He has natural aggression. Intensity.

 He wants to win contests and thrives at the contest. How this translates to playing against men and not boys is something to consider.

 And what’s he’s best position?. He’s like a more aerobic and agile Jake Stringer.  Forward. Back. Inside Midfield.  Yet to be determined. Perhaps a Multi purpose player.   Utility?!?!?!


I’m a fan if we gave up 2 picks but 3 is a stretch aka a huge gamble.

Unless an interstate side ends up with pick 1 (most likely WCE or GC) and is worried about the go home factor with Reid. If he’s smart he plays it up in the hope to end up at Melbourne and we can do a trade for pick 1. 
 

Unfortunately I think Hawks will do whatever it takes to finish last and they won’t give him up so the whole discussion becomes irrelevant… unless we end up with pick 2 or 3 from Freo (doubtful) and Hawks are keen to load up because their list is hot garbage.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Carlton

    The Blues season is on the line and their captain and coach have been in the firing line all week. If the Dees cough this one up the media's crosshairs will do a 180 and will surely be directed at the Demons who have only won 13 games from their last 25 outings. This is a must win game for the Melbourne Football Club too.

    We’ve seen it all before.   Club in turmoil. Coach under pressure. Club President caught up in a tax scandal. Club board not seeing eye to eye with one board member resigning amid questions about whether he was pushed or did he jump? Unrest bordering on hysteria among the supporters. Team dropping from undefeated after four rounds to 13th after ten. Allegations of favoured treatment of players. Players out of form, forwards with the kicking yips, a bruising injury list with some facing

    WRITING ON THE WALL by Whispering Jack

    The Narrm Football Club found a second way in the space of 12 months less a day to unexpectedly lose a home game against Walyalup on Saturday afternoon. The equivalent match of last year has been described as Melbourne’s “ground zero” of 2022 where things went wrong for the club after a long run of wins that included its 57 year drought-breaking premiership triumph. Unfortunately for the Demons, the 2023 version was a case of deja vu with the Dockers overcoming a half time deficit and runn

    CRUSHED by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons were dealt a crushing blow to their hopes of repeating last year’s premiership glory when they capitulated to the Werribee Tigers in the final term of what was for the first three quarters a riveting game of football. The Demons struck early with the opening two goals of the match but the Tigers fought back to level the scores by mid-term. From there on until the middle of the last quarter, there was never more than two goals separating the teams although the home side look

    Narrm return to the MCG to take on Walyalup who in the corresponding match last season broke the Demon's 17 game winning streak which was their first of three losses in a row. The Dees will need to win to stay in the Top 4.
