Nth think they are no chance, JT has been to Esperance sending the clear message we will take the best WA talent if it falls at our picks. West Coast take the flight risk with Read and missing out on multiple high end picks. There is something going on. 

I think so too and I must say, I like these dirty tactics. 

I feel like WCE deserve it too, i mean who turns down 6,11,F1.. its a ridiculously good offer.

    I'm 25/75 on us getting Reid. Reckon something is happening with WC. North making noises re Curtin but don't think they reach for him at 2/3.

    Being Normal with a dose of optimism;

    6 - Curtin

    11 - Wilson or Windsor

     

    Being abnormal based on North wanting talls and being sure they'll get a suitable one at 6 and maybe also at 11, and taking Duursma with pick 2 because they need firepower more than more midfielders and we'll only do the deal if McKercher is available at 3...

    3 - McKercher

    18 - Will Green

    I think so too. Thought I read somewhere North no longer considering pick 1? WC need multiple picks to speed up their rebuild, Reid a go home risk for them. Same goes for North, need multiple players for their rebuild. We've seen Pies and Lions get high end talent in recent seasons slot straight in and made a difference with Daicos and Ashcroft and if Reid is as good as he's made out to be why not go all out for him? Anyway, I have faith in the MFC to maximise whatever picks we take to the draft.

    Sounds like a character in a Kurt Vonnegut novel. 😁

    Beatson from Sydney did allude to trading 12 to North for 17 & 18 being in the works, and it seemed predicated upon North finally giving up on pick 1.

    We trade pick 6 to Hawks for pick 4 and our first round pick in 2024. We then trade pick 4 and 11 to WCE for pick 1 and take Reid :-)

    Reid or Duursma following trade-up,

    or Curtain, Sanders, Leake at 6

    then

    Windsor, Leake, O'Sullivan, Caddy, K-Thol at 11

    then

    Simpson at 42

    Clearly, I have NFI but not too many players in the top ten-ish that I would be unhappy with.

    Curtin and Wilson is gut feel. 

    death riding the eagles would be fun (but nerve racking) so a future first would be tempting but I’d rather the security of curtin for a decade. Wilson is the slide with it being a coin toss with Tholstrop. Wilson will get some great structural learnings from nibbler and Langdon about how Melbourne will want to use his run.
     If Watson and/or Leake slide to our respective picks I’ll be very excited for next year.

    McKercher and Tholstrup  if we trade with Hawks. 
    Curtin and Tholstrup if we don’t. 
    given the quality available at our picks I’m going to be happy with whoever JT picks.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
