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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
