The 2023 Draft and Trade Targets Thread


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

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!

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 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

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

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!

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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
