According to Cal T. :

”Unless Roos come with a last huge offer, Eagles set to hold at 1. Could dangle a future first if Dan Curtin is still on the board”.

Wonder if he is talking about the Dees.

WC could offer their F1 progressively to Hawthorn, the Dogs, MFC, GWS, Geelong until Curtin is taken. It will become progressively more attractive.

    The stupidest justification for selecting a player, yet it just keeps popping up...

    It is not the justification, as no one would take a dud in the hope you could swap him.

    Curtin was suggested to be as good as  Reid by some pundits.

    It’s more an insurance bonus if homesickness leads him to want to return to WA.

    If he is available at our pick I would think we probably take him and swapping him later with Reid would not enter into the drafting discussion.

    The Eagles will offer it for every spot that Curtin is available, but I’m not convinced we take it. Especially not straight up.

    That said, if there’s no one left that we rate in the elite crop we have a choice to make between:

    1. Moving back the prized part of the Jackson trade back one year further 

    2. Taking Curtin who seems to be increasing his flight risk level to a fairly high level, which means he could be gone inside 3 years. Could all be rubbish, but the player manager played his cards strongly. 

    Im always of the belief you draft interstate talent unless you think it’s inevitable. Curtin could be flirting with it. Only those with inside knowledge would know.

    I’m hoping JT and Co have someone else in the top bracket they want instead and take the pick.

    I would take the future 1st in order to get a ready made like the May

    Lever trades. Who is likely in our sights?

    Curtin’s manager said he has talked to the Dees, and that they said they would take him at 6, if he’s still there.

    Skip ahead to about 10.30 in.

    Melbourne #6 -> North

    North #2 #6 -> West Coast (= Curtain & satisfies their want for 2 top 10 picks)

    West Coast #1 -> North (= Reid)

    North & West Coast Future First Rounds -> Melbourne

     

    Would you?

    That's potentially pick 1 and 2 in next year's draft. You'd have to look at it

    WC 2024 first rounder is 95% to be either pick 1 or 2. most likely 1.

    Suns, Freo, Hawks, bombers will all improve

    I wonder if we consider trading to North for their 2023 p15 and 2024 1st?  Cal has Darcy Wilson going to North with this selection. 
     

    is Wilson + Norths 2024 1st > that Windsor?

    You may well turn out to be right. The wildcard is what Free Agency compo picks get dealt out by AFL House.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
