One potential exchange is

Lions give Harry Sharp and pick 32 (584 points) 

Dees give picks 40,49, 54, 65 (1041 points)

*Brisbane get additional 457 points

*Dees then have 5,28,32 in draft …

Yes? No? Maybe? 

Nb …Equivalent points match for picks 49,54,65 is roughly pick 32. Dees giving up 40 for Sharp.  ?!?!?! But actually it’s more like MFC giving up 49 because Lions would only give up pick 32 for picks that deliver much “higher points” in exchange. 

🤔Dees also could exchange MFC 2025 future 1st for 2024 GC Pick 13 to get Four picks in first “32” … JT 🧙‍♀️

We might need to have a late pick for Noah Yze.

    Personally don't think he gets picked up.

    To be honest, I would like to think we don't get sucked in by the Yze name because talent wise, he's either a late rookie or he goes undrafted. 

    He didn't get any invite to the national or state combines which speaks volume as you at least need one AFL club to register an interest which he didn't.

    He was tried in a few positions this year with little success in any.

    Not sounding great for him at this stage.

    Reported Nth after Dons pick9. We may have to chase GC's pick 13. They will want a future 1st and picks in this draft.

    We should take pick 5 to the draft. There may be a couple of KP's available around 13?

     It looks a race in two between the Pies and Demons, who have thrown big pick offers at a number of clubs in the hope to land another first-rounder in 2024. Gold Coast's call will be trade period-shaping one given the impact on Houston.

    The issue for Bombers is that Kanga’s future pick, whilst appealing, does nothing to help them match Kako bid in first round.

    Saints keen, a new favourite emerges?

    Also, Hawks now looking to trade into pick 13...after trading away pick 14?

    Of course it does, it doesn’t absorb their 1st pick and they can use later picks

    Wowzers, that's a good deal for us if we can make a good fist of it next year.

    Cheers Bombers.

    Given it’s looking more likely than not that we’ll have first round father son in K White next year trading out for good return this year is genius…

    Good deal for us to get pick 9. Dons get more than enough to get the discounted Kako.

    We get a good mid at 5 and maybe a KP at 9?

    White next year probably a 2nd or 3rd round bid?

    We probably agreed not to bid on Kako with either 5 or 9 too, that's a big bonus for Essendon.

    Twomey suggests further action by us. A swap with North. Picks 5 and 9 for pick 2 and 25 plus maybe 44 or the future 2nd?

    Hope not i would rather go 5 and 9.

    Could we slide back? 5 for Saints 8 and 27 or something to that effect

    Pick 5 & 9 puts us in the box seat for a couple of champions, thanks Mr Lamb, reckon JT will be ecstatic if this comes off.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
