  • Demonland changed the title to Welcome to Demonland: Pick 11

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…

this makes no sense?

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…

We've been here before.

Let's see what the result is.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
