Will this cost us the ANB pick or a third rounder?

I reckon a third rounder gets it done - the Lions sound like they’re being reasonable and won’t stand in his way (take note GWS)

    Elite runner.
    A few years in the system.
    Emergency in a grand final team.

    Ticks a few boxes.  
     

    There’s a knock on some of his kicking, that was the big knock on Langdon coming in too.

    SEN just interviewed their footy manager Danny Daly.

    He confirmed that we've shown heavy interest in Sharp and gave the impression that they won't stand in his way unlike another club I can think of.

    Fair possibility he'll be with us next year.

    Sure we have Langdon and Windsor already but there's no guarantee they'll be fit for all 23 games. You need depth at every position.

    Many bemoaned the loss of Jordon and Harmes, it's about time we recovered some depth.

    He's still young but has 4 years in the system so physically he should be ready to play AFL footy, if not, at least he improves Casey.

    Victorian too so who knows if being back home might help.

    Could see us giving up a combination of our current late picks - 49, 54 and 65 - picks we're not going to use, but gives the Lions points (maybe even with a future 3rd/4th coming back to us for White points next year). They won't be using any of these, just matching Ashcroft and Marshall bids. Probably why they are happy for Sharp and Dev Robertson move as well, they are being replaced instantly.

    Haven’t seen him play but going off what others have said and his RMC profile it looks like a smart bit of business. 
    I have been critical of our trading over the past few years and particularly Tim Lamb, but I’m happy with our moneyball approach to trading this year. Both Sharp and Derksen( if GWS play ball) would fill and need, have upside and cost bugger all leaving our main chips for the draft, given our current situation I think it’s a very good approach.

    I reckon this is a good call from us. I think the foundations are there with Sharp for him to make it as a quality wing/half-forward. 

    A risk worth taking IMO.

    Good pick up, he isn't worth anything in terms of trade, Brisbane had 7 plus injuries all year this year and he could only manage 6 games, 3 as sub.

    We need these players as depth with the possibility of breaking into the side permanently, but don't think he is walking straight into the team.

    Smart move to target him. Right age profile and has upside. I could see Sharp being in our best 23 quite easily. With his endurance, he could be used as a forward tagger to lockdown opposition's most damaging half back. For a pick in the 40's, it's good value.

    Feels like a low cost Nibbler replacement who can run all day and allow our onballers more bench rotations. Ed Langdon 2.0

    Drafted pick 43 in 2020. 4 years in the system for 16 games. Can't be worth much and will come to us as depth. Pick 54 seems about right. 65 for Derksen.

    He was pick 43 in the 2020 draft on the brissy website. We lost Jordan and got pick 39 from Sydney for him. So figure it will be around this mark or as articles say a combination of later picks.

    ANB played as an extra mid, massive tank just ran up and back all day.  Sounds like this guy is the same.

    We should offer 28, 40, 49 to Brisbane for Sharp and pick 20.

    It also gives us potential to try Windsor in other roles like half back with some midfield bursts.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
