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.

    We already traded our future 3rd to Adelaide.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
