What does leave us with picks wise?

    Seems a weird trade in face value.

    We must be on trading Pick 11.

    6,11 and 41 plus whatever we receive for Grundy

    That seems a lot to pay to move up 3 places.

    To me, it looks like we're going all out for pick 1, but maybe I'm reading into that too much?

    Can someone point me to where I find the AFL rules that govern drafting, free agency, compensation picks, academy etc etc.

    I have always found it hard to find this stuff on the AFL website and I like to understand what I am reading.

    I think it is the Sheldon in me. ( Not the Carlton player ).

    Curtin (6), 11 and a future first is probably the most we could offer and about the most the Eagles could get.
     

    North could beat it with Curtin (3), 15, handout future first as well but it’s not better unless they throw 21 in as well and even then the Eagles might prefer 11 to 15,21.

    Assuming North wouldn’t put pick 2 and 3 or their own future first on the table.

    Should we do it, not sure. But it’s probably on the table.

    Yeah don't know how I feel about this to be honest. Giving up a fair bit to just 3 spots down.

    I wonder if Geelong would have accepted 14, 27 and 35 for pick 7.

    Might be a 2nd episode to this pick swap that the clubs involved aren't in a position to announce yet?

    Surely 6, 11 and a future first wouldn’t get it done for pick 1?

    And I’m not sure how I feel about packaging them up for anything less than that, i.e. pick 2 or 3 

    Will be very curious how this plays out…

    Silly move, 1300 points for 2300 points.  Crazy.

    And? We don’t need points. 
     

    We clearly don’t think we will take more than one maybe two picks in the draft (plus list upgrades etc). 
    We are going all in on pick one. Bring it on.

    Agree but I doubt we have the currency for pick 1.

    How do we compare with the Hawks now ?

    Chill, Winston. Tim Lamb knows what he is doing.

    It's part of a bigger plan.  I'd say Petty is going.  They are going hard for pick 1.  10 from Adelaide and McAdam for Petty, gives us 6, 10 and 11 to work into pick 1.

    We either did this to get into another trade convo or for a specific player and I love when Taylor trades up for a specific player. We don’t need ND27, we need talent.

    And don’t get me started on points…

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
