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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
