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?

Daniel who? Surely not Caleb Daniel from WB.

I will cancel the membership if this is correct weight.

    I was just hazarding a guess as to trades with players we've been linked to.

    Speculation was that Daniel could make his way here by some in the media, previous trades for older fringe 22 players have been 3rd rounders (current or future).. I.e Billings, Hunter. Daniel fits that bill and is contracted so didn't think pick 45 was too far out of range of a possible trade scenario

    @adonski stated that he is likely to stay at the dogs now anyway, not sure on source.

    I think we should definitely be aiming for this, particularly when Brisbane needs points for Marshall too, but I just can’t see how we can compete with Richmond.

    I did a quick breakdown of the picks they hold yesterday and it is obscene how many picks they have. Currently 1, 21, 29, 39, 41, 47, 57, 66, 72, 75.
    This is before you even factor in 1st rounders coming in for Baker, Bolton, Rioli & Graham (more likely 2nd). Surely they’ll try to trade some for futures, but will likely keep the majority this year for such a reputed deep draft.

    By my reckoning, they’ll have minimum 5x top 30 picks. And they’ll be targeting any club that has an academy or FS candidate.

    Brisbane would only be using us to inflate the cost for Richmond, we can’t compete & they can’t possibly keep all of those picks.

    I can understand those points, you make total sense there and I would only be guessing in terms of providing answers.

    In saying that, I don't believe it's all seemingly settled. Christian not being traded and Christian being happy and settled are different things in my view.

    IMO Petracca isn’t happy, no matter what  anyone thinks, as he wanted to leave and at this stage it looks like not happening.

    He might be accepting of the current situation, as he really has very little choice atm, if he wants to continue as an AFL player.

    The situation might change at trade time this year or next year, who knows and if he stays and we are successful next year and he feels vindicated he may stay and then be happy.

    He’s not happy because he almost died & hasn’t been able to train/play to move on from that. He will with time.

    Tigers will need their best picks as they finished last and are losing good players.

    Right... I don’t get your point.

    Tigers will use their early picks & have no use for their plethora of late picks, so will happily package them for more early picks. And they’ll have more than us.

    I was only commenting on your post about the obscene number of picks Tigers have, I meant they will need all the high picks they can get.

    I think we agree with each other though.

    Hope so. Jagga Smith and Cooper Hynes with Rivers, Kozzy, McVee and Kolt would transform our midfield. 

    Without a doubt.

    I can't see Hynes slipping to mid 20s, if we land a pick from 15-20 I think it's gotta be him. Could be like getting Sam Lalor in a 20% off sale.

    Scary the number of high picks they'll have in what's reported to be a deep draft. Who's their list manager? Wouldn't want to [censored] this draft up tigers. No pressure!!!

    Tigers are in the box seat but will give up a lot of seasoned players.  They’ll go young. Three steps back.  Odds on 2025 wooden spooners too.  Lions are all laughing … screw the other clubs to get points.  Then pickup guaranteed two of the very best players in the draft.  FFS.

    Ah yes, this does make sense now. A couple of posters have made similar confusing comments and I had no idea where it was coming from. I have read Demonland for quite some time, but have only recently started attempting to contribute. First time, long time, as they say. It's certainly more feisty interacting here than I anticipated, even after being reasonably familiar with the site alread.

    Fair play, and thanks for responding. Was just curious so thought I’d ask. Happy posting!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
