Not bidding on Sam Marshall with either 5 or a second first round pick will be part of the trade value for Brisbane. I really like him and would love to bid with a pick in the 9-11 range.

I doubt this deal will happen quickly.

We need to secure that extra first rounder if we can.

Brisbane need to do a deal with Richmond for pick 20 out and a stack of picks worth points in.

Then we'll probably look to do some kind of trade where we give them 40, 49, 54, 65 in return for 32 and Sharp.

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. 

we got a compensation second round pick for jj - he left as a free agent, not as a trade

 

He’s a good runner and competes. Could fill the half forward or half back role.  I’m a Yes. Pick 54 seems about right.  
Probably deal could include us not bidding on Sam Marshall as a gentleman’s agreement 🤔


Once we don't give up too much this is a very clever pick up

He looks pretty pumped in that picture to be coming over!

Has played 16 games over 4 years included 6 as sub

Lions have the best depth in the league so no shame in that

Great left-field moneyball pick up

Please explain the moneyball aspect to this recruitment?

Time to re-hang the sign out front of Gosch’s Paddock.


Hope that Derksen is still on the cards too. Both of them could wind up failures like Fullarton, but at least it'd be positive to get in some players that are young but not 18yo.

With Campbell and sharp as possible ins, how many more spots do we have? 
would have to think this closes the door on derksen, and squishes the chances down of yze and mentha both getting a gig. 

Below average in every stat which is a little concerning. 

Yes he can run but no point being an elite runner when you cannot get the ball.

Brown, Brayshaw, Hunter, ANB, Schache out so far.

Likely: J Smith? Tomlinson?

Possible: Hore? Oliver?

At least 7, could be 9 out. Plus Cat B rookie KFW.

3 ins: Kentfield (r), Campbell, Sharp

Still 4-6 spots plus cat B. Mentha is cat B at best IMO. 

4 good picks in the national draft, Yze or another rookie maybe, Derksen or some other mature player (perhaps Hore).

18, 13 (both wing), 12 (half forward) in his 3 full games this year, averages about 20 touches in his VFL games.

It’s not his strength but I don’t think he’ll struggle to get the ball.

Hopefully forms part of getting their 1st rd pick 

Would potentially have to give up our FF1 plus 2024 picks to get 20; Tigers have a better hand to offer Bris for pick 20

Mitch Cleary reporting that the Harry Sharp deal will happen soon.

Hope we can get Sharp and 32 for our combo of late stuff (whilst also keeping flexibility to get a future 1 and a late throw at the stumps for the Derka)

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.
