Melbourne strongly targeting Brisbane’s first round pick, currently Pick 15 (1112 points). 
 

Sending pick 25 from Adelaide (756 points), Pick 38 received from Sydney (465), and Pick 50 will give the Lions 1,494 points to assist with the acquisition of L. Ashcroft.

Now this is interesting. Has this been reported BLWNBA?

25 (756) + 38 (465) + 50 (273) = 1494 - not sure where your 1149 points is coming from?

So we're going for Geelong this weekend then?

Your maths makes the deal a bit more likely in terms of what the Lions will agree too but I think they will want a future pick included in any deal.

Sorry mate, just one of my many faults.

 

So we're effectively trading half of Grundy's proceeds (not sure what we did with pick 46 last year), Neale-Bullen and a speculative late pick for a late first rounder.

I'm ok with that BBP


Would be a very crafty piece of work 

From all reports this draft is very deep into the teens with quality 

1494 points is just shy to the equivalent of pick 9. 

According to phantom drafts, Ashcroft will go pick 1 or 2. Let's assume it's pick 2 as most clubs who have the first pick won't bid on a player.

Pick 2 is 2517 points. With a 20% discount for father sons that will equal 2014 points.

Brisbane don't have a current second round pick as they traded it last year. Their next picks as it currently stands is 53 (233 points) and 69 (49 points).

1776 points in total after the hypothetical trade.

Technically they can go into deficit which will effect their 1st pick of 2025. I doubt the suggested trade will be enough points to satisfy Brisbane, but it's not far off.

They'll have to find a trading partner willing to put up more than we are.

Could be a few clubs willing to do that but impossible to predict prior to the trade/pick swap period.

Richmond could be the trouble maker and trump us like the doggies did last year.

If Richmond lose Graham they could end up with pick 21 and 22. They also have pick 29 as well.

21 and 22 = 1723

Or

21 and 29= 1531

Both already higher than our alleged offer without later junk picks thrown in.

They would also split 25 for a lot more than 756 points and given the depth of this draft they may be able to split 38.

Pick 46 came into 42 after father son / academy point matches. 

We traded pick 42 on draft night to the Saints for their 2024 third round pick which is currently pick 45 (347 points).

Pick 45 wasn't mentioned in the hypothetical trade but would be the difference in points needed in my previous post.

This would mean we would have pick 5, 15, 61.

Say we end up doing the trade, that would leave us with 5, 15, 45 and 61.

45 for Daniel? Or perhaps future 3rd?

61 for Derksen?

Will we be finished or:

Can we trade our future 1st for Geelongs 2024 1st, so I can go back to barracking for Brisbane on Saturday night?

45 for Daniel is terrible business.  He’s declining.  Short and slow !!! On far too many $$$ as well !!!

I agree that Toiges could be trouble but I'm not sure they're going to part with 21 and 22 for 15 unless they have someone in mind. They need to fill a lot of holes on that list with the number of players jumping ship.

Wasn't a big fan of the move so I'm happy with that.

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
