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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
