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.

It'll be pick 7 or 8 after bids, cursed lifted...!

No way! I don't see any upside to this at all.  There will be a good player available at six - take him. Why take a punt that could go wrong?

Hold onto the picks we have unless we can snag pick 1. I would much prefer two high quality players at 6 and 11 than one with pick 2/3.

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.

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
