    Given that Tholstrup was touted to go in the late teens, i wonder if we are contemplating trading 6 for WCE future 1st and then trading our future first for a Nth Melb late teens pick.

    Pros:

    - Big body and agile

    - Hits the contest, enjoys the niggle

    - Clean overhead marking

    - not the most natural kicking action but can penetrate and seems to have poise to choose his targets inside 50 especially after marking across half forward.

    - versatile mid/forward and possibly wing? (6:17 2km)

    - Country kid with personality!

    Cons:

    - Not a huge ball winner 
    - Might lack breakaway pace or explosive leap that can be handy for a forward 
    - Preferred position? It’s hard work being an afl half forward. Are we spending a first round pick on Nibbler2? And is he up for it?

    Shades of: Daniel Lloyd, Cam Rayner, Tom Sparrow, Cam Zurhaar 

    I have heard him compared to a Rayner, Petracca, De Goey by a couple of different talent scouts.  and apparently one that has been a late mover.  I really like the look of him but who knows as well

    Agree, i think we will be looking at that if Curtin is still there at 6, WCE will try get back into the draft. and seeing they wouldn't take our offer for 1 i hope we play a little bit of hard ball.

    but not so much that it falls over:  Melb - 2024 First Round, 2023 pick 42 for WCE - 2024 First Round and 2023 pick 37

    might be stuff of fantasy but would hope we try it

    Pretty sure WC future first  is on the table for Curtin without any other add ons. 
    We would only put our future first on the table for their pick 23

    He screams ‘JT pick’ in the best way possible

    There was an article yesterday stating we are unlikely to do a deal for West Coast's future 1st due to the risk of them rising next year with an injury free list. With 11 home games at Perth and a clean fit list, its definitely a gamble that we turn pick 6 into something significantly better a year later.

    They would need to sweeten the pot for us significantly, starting with pick 23 and no return of our future 1st. Perhaps our future 2nd. Even then I don't like it.

    It’d have to be an educated gamble with a sound understanding of next year’s draft crop composition and how it caters to our list needs. It wouldn’t be based on the vague hope that the top 5 is stronger next year (like it would be for me).

    There’s already Levi Ashcroft and one the Camporeale boys who will compromise the top end of next years draft

    I think that if we have a player that we want now then why would we risk possibly maybe getting something slightly better next year? 

    If we like Curtin (or another) at 6 this year and want that player, why not just take them? If we don't really rate the players at 6 then sure, trade it away for a lottery ticket, but if we do rate them then grab one you want.

    Agreed.

     

    Edit: I don't think we can lose out this year with one of Curtin, Watson, Sanders or Caddy being available.

    Melbourne to Esperance and back is less than 6,000km if fly direct (which is possible). So, either the 8,000km figure is wrong, or Taylor went via Perth. Relevance? If he went to Perth, who else did he speak to?

    It says he flew to Perth, before catching a light plane to Esperance

    Suggests to me he wanted to meet someone in Perth. Otherwise he could have flown to Esperance directly and saved a lot of time.

    Via what airline?

    Have you ever heard about things changing. 

    Clubs don't lock in players weeks out before the draft....

    As Jason Taylor stated today, there has been about 15 players that they have interviewed for that pick 11 range and are continuing to assess how the top order falls.

    Exactly!  I am just passing on what I am hearing as I know others are like minded and interested in what’s happening in the background.


    Why don’t you just keep your comments to yourself, does it make you feel like a bigger man to bring others down or to potentially throw things back in the face if they get something wrong?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
