If we give up all these picks to get ND1, I am certain WCE will give us the 3rd/4th round flotsam to fill our list.

I say this because I think that is a concern for some on here for some reason…

    I just watched this video, was from 5 months ago, but seems spot on. And if we get this kid he could be a 1 in generational player

    A lot of eggs in one basket.

    On the other hand, it's only one basket, the 2023 one.

    Could someone update us on how we'd be placed at the 2024 draft after a possible/likely wash-up of this trade period?

    Ta.

    Norf have it in the bag. But it says a fair bit about the lack of key position talent that they are prepared to add yet another midfielder.

    We give 6, 7 (from GWS salary dump) and pick 11 for pick 1.

    WC give pick 6 and 11 for norths pick 2

    Melb get 1

    WC 2 and 7

    North get 3, 6, 11 plus the rest

    That means WCE will get Curtis at 2 or 3.

    Would have thought 6 and 7 is plenty for pick 1.

    What player do we get from GWS attached to their salary dump?

    Haynes 

    Not a bad player. Experienced mid sized defender. Good depth.

     

    Lol at nobody caring about the player btw 😂

    I wonder if we'd look at playing Haynes as the third tall. A very good interceptor in his day. Used to playing in a slingshot defensive system.

    We give six and 11 for North's 3 and 18.

    North give 2 and 15 (and probably more) for West Coast's 1.

    North take Reid at 1 and still have 6 and 11 to play with at the premium end.

    West Coast gets their boy Curtin at 2 and have at least an additional first round pick for their trouble.

    We get [Taylor's secret herbs and spices] at 3 and [Taylor's pulled beef slider] at 18.

     

    Rationale is that North have late first round picks coming out the ears and no real need for them, but 6 and 11 are pointy enough to matter to them. West Coast have to rebuild a list and want those extra late-first round picks, but also would want to be sure of getting Curtin, making 2 necessary for them. Meanwhile we always have our eye on some gun at the top of the table and have a record of drafting high-low rather than a spread.

    Yeah, I know, just playing a game of 'nearest the pin' here.

    West coast wants local boy Daniel curtin which they will be able to get at pick 6. They won’t risk pick 1 with Reid only for him to move on after 2 years. 

    Throw in pick 11 and next years 1st round and essentially they get 3 x 1st rounders for pick 1. 

    That almost puts them ahead in the trade. This deal will get done

    If we were able to do a salary dump deal with GWS to net pick 7, would 6 and 7 get Harley done?  Surely 6,7,11 is too much?

    I’d rather take 6, 7 & 11 to the draft myself

    In his day..then he was the prime interceptor in the late Leon Cameron years where they’d always generate a spare for him and he’d use it like treacle. Any time he did move it, it was slow, sideways and ineffective. Made Lever look like a skilled rebounder. 

    Id be a no. The draft pick might be great but having a player just filling out time on a huge salary seems like a bad cultural fit.

    Cultural point is a fair one, but disagree with the rest.

    I’m feeling inclined to agree.  The thought of Reid is very tempting, but 3 Round 1 picks could possibly set up our list for 15 years.

    3-way trade perhaps?

    Melbourne

    Out: 6, 11, future 1st

    In: 1

     

    North Melbourne

    Out: 3, 18

    In: Pick 6, 11

     

    West Coast

    Out: Pick 1

    In: Pick 3, 18, Future 1st (melb)

     

    Maybe some other picks to balance. Any deal unlikely if Roos are set on Reid.

    North are inept but they’re not that inept that they trade away pick 3 for an upgrade in the teens

    I love it the way we have 6 one in a generational player.

    Haynes would be great, would free up Riv to play a bit more midfield.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
