    Gives the Suns time to strike a deal for the other two picks

    GC probably have the same philosophy as us. Get a deal done early and move on to the next one.

    Plus these discussions would have been going on for weeks.

    10 and 17 are of interest if Gold Coast had them from the Dogs for 4.

    Same basic scenario, though not quite such a premium pick.

    Would a future first and a collection of our points-effective second-rounders do the job?

    1 X top 10 and 2 X top 20 picks (second one could be high depending on dogs season next year) for pick 4 is a high price IMHO. Id prefer the 3 picks. They must be really keen on someone and think that we are keen on them as well.

    Agreed, I think the market is a bit skewed at present. No current player is generally considered to be worth three first rounders of any kind... but unproven top draft picks are. Strange to me. We would have received less for Oliver! 

    Think I read somewhere the Dogs are keen on Watson.

    Dogs are paying overs; they must be very keen on someone.  It’s also a strange move as they’ve commented on the difficulties of building their list after having to use so many picks on JUH and Darcy.

    I hope we go hard for GCs new pick 10.

    Not sure how we beat the Dogs offer of Picks 10, 17 and Future 1st?

    If that’s what they are offering they are just plain stupid. Pick 4 is not worth that much at all. My guess is it’s 10 and F1 and we can definitely beat that with our collection of 2 and 3rd round picks and a F1.

    deal is seemingly done, as outlined

    Well it’s 2 for 1 since they have a father son they want to get a pick before, if they wait till pick 10 they probably have to use it already. So they can afford to pay overs

    Using next year’s R1 pick is the concern.

    Sure but I don’t think even in dogs worst fear they would end up with a pick 4 next season so they are effectively paying next years 1st and alate 1st round this year for pick 4

    Assuming croft nominates them, which I'm sure he will, it's a smart play.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
