    Has a team ever won the flag and had the no 1 pick? Would be a great trick if we could pull it off. The other clubs will be spewing

    Closest I can think of is Sydney winning the flag then recruiting Buddy.

    Sydney came runner up in 2014 and got Isaac Heeney for a bargain at pick 18 being a part of their academy. Was rated a top 5 pick.

    Pretty sure there was a mini outcry after that so the afl changed the rules meaning clubs then had to match bids for their academy players. This was the introduction of the new draft points system rather than just clubs using their next selection.

    The following year we bid on Mills at #3. Thank god they matched.

    Get ready for the Demon Harley — it’s coming! Would have to be a monumental change of beliefs & player ratings from now to October for it to fall over. 
     

    Get excited!!! This kid is sheer dynamite & as for ceiling, his is Gar superior to ANY of this or last years draft choices, don’t even begin to argue about it, just ask JT.

    Personally, I’d of been wrapped with Watson & Sanders but Harley could be anything.

    Is anybody going to summon @Chook in Perth on any murmurings over this potential pick trade - He had the good mail in the past!

    You can see how compromised this draft could potentially be. 

    Just a note on your order, GC have pick 4 (pick 6 in your mock) and will presumably trade it out... so there will be another selection between Hawks and Melbourne with the GC Read bid notwithstanding. Might be us, might be another team. If your general order stays then we miss out on Duursma and we're looking at prospects from Caddy onwards.

    Yes GC do have pick 4, but will be gobbled up with their first academy member at pick 2, so they will trade it out for currency (our proposal will be 15, 24, 34 and our FF1, possibly then offer 4 and 5 to WC for 1), we may be the club who bid and get their pick 4, but who knows, I'll still take any 2 of Watson, Duursma, Caddy or O'Sullivan. Will be interesting off season. Its all navel gazing at the moment, Cheers

    Pick 4 and 5 for pick is overs imo. If we offer 4 and 5 (on the assumption, we are successful in obtaining from GC) you would be expecting something back from GC in addition to pick 1.

    so 5, 15, 24 , 34 AND a future 1st ( say 15) fr pick Harley. 3x 1st  rounders and 2x 2nd. that’s a LOT of capital.

    The Eagles and North upending tanking theory the last 2 weeks. Maybe clubs aren't as fixated on high picks as we think they are.

    Doesn't matter how good the talent is if the team doesn't know how to win, I also Imagine WC want Curtain so don't care and Nth may be eyeing the Sanders and Mckercher duo.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
