    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…

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
