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…

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
