    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.

    Bont drives it inside 50

    Watson roves, snaps, goals!

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
