Lord Travis, what is the farm? Would you do picks 4, 18, 23, F1st? Would you do 4, 18 and JvR as that past WCE player put up. Maybe 4 and trade for the GCS pick and offer up both?

I personally would do the first although possibly overpaying, and the second I would do whatever I could to not give up JvR but maybe 4 and JvR if they put their foot down?  You see a lot of the youngsters and this draft is heavily compromised, with few good mids. 

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. No way jvr is part of the conversation for the no 1 pick. I don’t care how good this Reid kid.

    With Reid, Tracc, Viney, Sparrow, Oliver, Gawn & Grundy bullocking through the centre, we won't need a forward line. /sarcasm

    Tracc and Reid waxing mid/forward.

    With the Ruinatior and Jefferson prowling inside 50 with koz at their feet.

    Yes please.

    Why trade a potential gem KPP to get a mid? Computer says no, I don't care how good Reid is.

    champ highlights

     

    To be fair, you could choose a lot of players out of the under 18 championships and create a highlight video that makes them look like the best [censored] player out there. 
     

    Reid is a jet, but player highlight reels are hardly ever pragmatic!
    A lot of opportunities for applying some mayonnaise.

    I think we'd be crazy to at least not attempt to trade up for Harley.

    Imagine a starting midfield unit of Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Petracca and Reid 💦

    Not only are you picking up another tough country lad (Tongala special) who doesn't take a backward step, but you're planning life after Petracca and Viney. Oliver is still only 25 so still has years left to form a good combination going forward.

    What this also mean is that this adds more years to Petracca longevity in the game.

    This will give Petracca the opportunity to spend his last few years as a dangerous forward and not the crash and bash midfielder. 

    Do it Jason Taylor and Tim Lamb!

    Harley Reid is having a run with the Essendon VFL side up on the Gold Coast against Southport.

    The Bombers have not been enjoying much of a season but lead last year’s runners up by 8 points at half time. Young Harley leads his team in Dream Team Points and is equal first for them in possessions with 14. That’s not bad but let’s see if he can stay at that level for the full game.

    Sorry for being pedantic, but Clarry turned 26 last month.

    Harley’s had a major impact for the Bombers, 14 touches and a goal assist to half time, and this:

    Oh hell, let's just give the Eagles our best 22 players for Reid he and the leftovers should be enuff to beat anyone.

    Surely, the commentator should have said "put that on a showreel already"? Not a stamp. A stamp? Who uses stamps anymore, ya nuffas.

    There's stamps with pictures of hangers on them?

    Probably the only way maxy gets on a stamp then - as the player getting his head jumped on!

    If and it’s a big if, the Eagles win another game, you can forget Reid.

    That settles it. You can't have Flyin' Ryan and Rocketing Reid going up for the same mark every time. It would be chaos. Better trade that pick and be done with it.

    The Freo or Adelaide games are the only chance, but they'll want pick 1, so no chance really.

    Would probably save us from ourselves if it were the case.
    Could easily live to regret parting with the requisite picks once the potential is realised for the eagles.

    So you wouldn't go after Reid, mate? And if you would, what would you be prepared to part with?

    Blimey.

    I thought he was a forward?

    Looks like the bont with his skills in the middle.

    A bit like Danger but with good foot skills.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
