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

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!)

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.

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.

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 hour ago, whatwhat say what said:

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
