Heard a wild trade rumour, Lynch to request a trade to Melbourne. From SEN on Thursday.

Would we really entertain that?

How old is Lynch? Is it even possible?

maybe he just hates playing on May

 

Tim O'Brien delisted by the Dogs

 

Worth a punt?

No

 

Dylan Stephens has officially requested a trade, allegedly linked with North.

Can we throw all our picks at the dogs and ask for Naughton?  They've got too many tall key position players there anyway - they should be playing Naughton or Darcy back in my view.

I can't believe there isn't more heat on Beveridge with the amount of talent he has had at his disposal since winning the flag for very little to show for it - surely there's unrest there?  Naughton can't have enjoyed his foot this year with the way the dogs played.  (Having said that, coming to play in Melbourne's forward line is hardly an attractive proposition!)


Tough calls 

Hibbo Brown Tmcd retire

D.Smith. K.Turner  Dunstan  delist 

Tommo   Harmesy🥲   Grundy trade 

JJ let go UFA

Theres plenty of talent in this draft and players available  

Need to make tough calls

Four of these blokes are contracted...

Tommo and Harmes may want further opportunities but I can't see BBB and TMac kissing half a million dollar contracts goodbye!

 

Pick 5 for Bailey Smith?

Trac and him swapping 50/50 on ball forward 50.

forward line talls will be fine if we can get Petty and Roo on the park together.

would rival some others as one of the worst kicks in our side

no

Alright normal programming has resumed.

What's going on in the most important part of the year? :)

Did Bowey play as a mid through his u18 years, would like to see him on a wing kicking the ball into forward 50m.

Early draft picks, with the pick we will get for Grundy we will have 4 picks inside the top 30 plus another mid 30, all about improving our draft position to get 4 picks as early as possible in the draft.

Do we now have pick 14, as we have dropped below carlton on the final ladder ? Also pick 11 from Sydney for Grundy and picks 24 and 34

5, (11) 14, 23,33.

sure we could help GC with points in the sudoku draft game

sure we could upload 4 draft picks to barter for Harley Reid

or screw that trade BS

5 picks inside 33.  That’s a serious draft refresh.

and unfortunately not what we need

we're in the 'win now' phase of our current list make-up

bringing in five 17-19 year olds isn't going to help

we need one or hopefully two elite pointy end picks, not five speculative ones - look at the tigs who had a similar number recently in a draft, and not one of them has become a regular best part of their best 26 squad in three years

100 percent, there will he 3 to 5 years of compromised Drafts coming up, load up on early picks this year that will be the basis for 10 years of finals

We might be pick 13 by the end of the night. Let's get that Deathriding Port Adelaide thread up and going!

The Roos own that pick, are you forecasting a trade with North?

1 minute ago, spirit of norm smith said:

Likely Grundy and pick 33 for 11. Let’s sign it up. 

Stop saying "likely" when it's just your opinion.

Thanks

Is it realistic that we get 11 from Sydney?

no

it'll be 22 which will become about 27 or so, so effectively what we 'paid' the filth for him

The club may trade Grundy for a future 2nd pick with Sydney and off load that (plus more) to GC for pick 4 this year. If the club can give GC equal points for this draft and a couple of 2 round picks next year, this will satisfy GC need to bank up points for their Next Gen players coming through in 2024.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
