How do we end up getting pick 4 and keeping pick 5?


All our 2nd round picks & late first rounder to GC, as they need points to match academy bids & their pick 4 would be absorbed into matching for Walter at pick 2.

    Later picks give points to GC to use on NGA players.

    I’d imagine a future first might also be involved. 
    Happy to load up!

    Possibly.

    It is scary to possibly give up so much for Reid, if we in fact can get him..

    If North get Pick 3 for McKay, I expect they'll trade Pick 2 & 3 to West Coast for Pick 1 and steak knives (maybe Gaff after all).

     

    Reckon they'd want 1 + WCE 2nd rounder (about 22 or 23) for 2 + 3

    Our future 1st would allow GCS to bank some of this year's draft value into next year, that way they use lesser picks for matching points this year

    Pick 5 and JVR to West Coast for pick 1.

    As a massive JVR fan. I still think we’d consider that. But respectfully decline.

    Norf will be silly to do that trade. Make WC sweat and call out Curtin. I think we should instead make a play for NOrf's 2nd pick Pick 2 for 5 and 15. is a fair trade. Norf end up getting Watson with 3, McKercher with 5, Sanders with 15 with  NGA. We can also throw in Tommo to give them KPD stock for 2024 to sweeten the deal. 

    We either get Curtin or Reid.

    Knee injury at 2.44

    Hopefully not serious

    Edit: only minor but probably won't play again this season.

    Bendigo Pioneers star Harley Reid is highly unlikely to play again this year, with the No. 1 pick favourite set to be placed in cotton wool after suffering a minor knee injury on the weekend.

    I agree. Pick 2 is Reid anyway. North know it and won’t trade it. WC won’t trade 1 as they’ll miss Curtain. I think Reid is inevitably off to North.

    I actually think this has already been arranged

    I’m all for it depending on what comes with pick 1.

    4&5 is a lot to give up. Harley would want to be even better than I already I think he is.

    I'd do it, whether WCE would depends if they were sure Curtin would be there at 4. Then the added bonus of getting another top 10 player.  If they don't we get 2 top 5 players like Duursma, Watson, McKercher and or O'Connor. Then we pick K.Brown as a late pick 89 or a compo pick for likely departures like Jordon etc.......  then if we get more spots or trade we could go for a Liam Henry and or Georgiadas from PAdel if we lost Grundy.

    How it could transpire would be we get Reid at 1, Gold Coast match their top prospect Jed Walter at 2, North go for McKercher, Hawks go for Duursma and WCE get Curtin. Only real spanner is if North go for Curtin to replace a departing McKay. If we can't get 1 then we go for plan B see above and trust in Lamb, Taylor and their crew.

    North could even grab Duursma considering his late season form. Wouldn't discount Watson from being in the conversation for both North and Hawks as well.

    Give the West Coast Losers nothing.  Last thing I want to see is them becoming a powerhouse again and we helped them along the way.

    I've said it before, JVR is worth more than pick 1. JVR is proven, Harley Reid is not.

    Bundling up our natural first rounder, our two 2nd round picks for this year & our future first.

    If we manage to snaffle pick 4 along with pick 5, either trade them for quality players (unlikely given our cap) or bring in 2 quality kids. Watson and McKercher please.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
