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…

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
