We currently hold pick 6 thanks to Gold Coast.

Keep it dees and get a 12 year gun midfielder.

    Tim Lamb and Alan Richardson are both recipe for disaster for this footy club.

    And if next years pick is a 15-18 after we swapped it for Houston and drafted a gun mid with pick 5/6 this year, would it be such a big disaster?

    Long road ahead if weā€™ve got people like Alan Richardson and Tim Lamb contributing to these decisions.

    I think for Richardson to say this he must be confident that they can get some deals done with mature player they are currently in discussions with.

    It won't happen. Port want two first round picks including this year.

    That's there starting point.

    Exactly. We've been trading out our future first most years for the better part of a decade. This time it could be for an established best 22 player.

    Given the depth of this years draft pool, it makes absolute sense to me to trade our future first for a quality player like Houston or someone as equally likely to be best 22 and an upgrade on what we have. Then take pick 5/6 to the draft (if we haven't split it) and still bring in a couple more kids with 2nd and 3rd rounders. What's not to like?

    There's risk involved, sure. But I'd rather upgrade our list as best we can with established talent and simultaneously bring in another 2-3 kids.

    Their starting point in negotiations.

    They donā€™t have genuine motivation to trade Houston, so wonā€™t unless their high price is met. 

    The market isnā€™t really moving to meet that price, so unless someone else budges, Houstonā€™s staying at Port.

    I'm open minding on future pick trading as long as we take a first and second round pick to the draft this year to keep adding young talent

    With that being said, they better be very confident re Oliver & Trac's 2025 prospects if we do trade out of 25'

    I think a lot of it is probably due to their projections on where Kalani White and Ah-Mu will be bid on

    Agree, is there anything to suggest either are anything more than later picks at this stage?

    If the Saints beat Carlton we'll have pick 5.

    What if it ends up being a top 5 pick for Houston?

    With Ashcroft and the GC academy kid, that pick will be 7. Josh a battle compo could make it 8

    A Josh Battle comp pick doesn't effect us if we have P5 and the saints have P6 (and then 7)

    Youā€™re assuming the Saints beat Carlton. They wonā€™t, because they are St Kilda

    Maybe they could reaffirm their loser status by winning, therefore pushing their picks back

    It was reported that the Hawks offer for Battle would not trigger the pick following theirs, it would be end of first round

    I'd be very surprised if Lombard goes top 5. More likely 10 - 20 range.

    Saints will up their offer forcing the Hawks to up their offer and the compo will push in to band 1 because the afl will feel bad for St Kilda

    Edit: Ok I misunderstood, you mean, we might be back in 14th here again next year? I hope the club is not thinking that way and backs itself to contend, it's as simple as that. 

     

    Well I was responding to the poster that said trading only a future pick for Houston, would be a disaster. 

    But my thoughts on this years pick: I'd rather we kept pick 5/6 and only offered a future pick, if Houston doesn't get done then so be it. 

    A month ago I was open trading both first round picks if it was 9-10, But also if we somehow got Ports 1st round 14-18 pick back. Now that it's 5/6, and people have said the first 5 kids are all as good as each other, then we have to keep it and only offer a future 1st rounder and back ourselves to be contending next year.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckmanā€™s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipperā€™s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
