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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
