Could we do 49 for Sharp, 60 and 66? Gives Brisbane another roughly 100pts

Or 49 for Sharp and 66, knowing 66 will come in substantially (10-15 places or so) when Brisbane, Essendon and GC match their academy picks?

    Yeah, my initial reaction was that the Sharp deal could be 49 for Sharp & 66.

    Gives Lions extra 200 points for Academy bids while leaves us with a third pick still.

    Sharp effectively for pick 55 according to the calculators.

    Love this. Really want us to get Sharp.
     

    The deal could be MFC 49 for Sharp & BL 66.

    As others have said, I hope we angle for pick 66 and Sharp for 49.

    Pick 66 may end up coming in by 10-15 selections and give us a late stab in the draft.

    Any news? Heard this was progressing quickly on Friday morning.  I guess the bombers and crows pick swapping has taken the priority 

    Sharp is the third player to potentially nominate the Dees now. 

    1st … Houston … did he really nominate us? Well the media said he did, so that’s a given. But he’s yes, no , yes has brought out other suitors and MFC off limits   🤮

    2nd… Derksen… nominated MFC, Dees very keen and it helps his career, his financials and his family. GWS lost too many players and had poured concrete over Derksen. FFS. 🤨🤨

    Hope we can do this deal. He’s the type of player needed and type of trade (22yo, 4 years in system) that can come in straight away and still improve and improve

    If we're after a draftee that could cut the opposition to shreds, I'd be looking at young Wiltshire.

    Afl.com reporting we offered 49, Brisbane initially wanted more. Reckon it probably gets done but maybe nothing back our way

    Ok, so, again: we will have as many ND picks as we need to fill the vacant slots in the list. ND83 ends up being like 71, ND104 ends up being 75 as clubs don’t utilise picks in the later rounds. 

    We will not be left without the ability to take late picks should we want to. 

    Some of you looking like sheep walking on their hind legs intimating the opposite.

    If Brisbane demand more we could swap F3s. Brisbane should think that's in their favour.  Should be able to get done.

    And got Essendon’s back, which is of similar value. Brisbane would back themselves to be 6-10 spots above Essendon next year, that’s a nice pick upgrade if we need to do it

    Old mate Adam needs to stay on top of these pick trades.

    “We're still working through that. They're working through what they require in terms of points with their academy players. We're hopeful of bringing Harry in."

    - Tim Lamb on Harry Sharp

    Lamb was really bullish on Sharp given he is a high end endurance footballer.  Holds the 2km combine time trial record 5m28secs by 20 seconds!!  Other comments addressed that Sharp can play wing or half forward, and fills a need given Nibblers departure and Hunter retirement.  He is a in a strong footy club but behind good players in Lions setup.  Lamb was hopeful.  I think pick 49 is fair (hope we can get Sharp and pick 66 back but it’s academic if Lions hold off). Lions working through their pick points accumulated to get Ashcroft & Marshall.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
