While now sounding unlikely we can get Wade Derksen, I think the language used suggests it is still a small possibility.

There was no definite it won't happen and a lot of respect shown for the Giants in Lamb's comments and I sense a small chance, most likely if they get Jake Stringer, thereby pushing Derksen further down the ladder.

    “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. 

    His 2km record is astonishing, it blows Bailey Smith and Sam Walsh's times out of the water which is insane.

    I too think 49 is fair, they should just accept it.

    Lions. Come on. It’s a fair deal. 49 for Sharp and 66.  Gets them extra points.  They don’t need Sharp.  He’s stuck behind too many.  He will get a fair run with MFC.  Moves into our best 25 straight up in my view. Fits the high half forward role vacated by ANB.

    Is sharp quick? Or just big tank?

    I know he has the record for the 2km but not sure what that says about explosive and short distance sprinting ahha

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

    If this is what happens it seems to me that we have picks 5, 9 and 83 with 3 list spots left. And maybe 4 list spots if Tomlinson doesn't re-sign.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see us try something to get another pick. No idea what though.

    Good call/question.  I had just assumed but all I can say, with minimal research, is that he is quicker than me.

    It doesn't necessarily translate to 20m and bursts out of pack, but it translates extremely well to modern football between the arcs.

    Think ANB or Chandler doing repeat sprints and return sprints over 50-150 m up and down the ground. The ability to continually cover ground at a very high cruising pace and back it up again and again.

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

    With picks 5 and 9 we virtually don’t have to worry about the second night of the draft. Just do your thing in the first hour of the first night JT!

    Well, as usual we overpay at the trade table - that 3rd pick upgrade is generous - but at least it’s for a young player with upside.

    I thought 49 was slightly unders myself so understand the f3 swap.

    Personally I thought we should have gotten something more back from the Essendon trade.

    After 3 years of recruiting ageing rejects from other clubs, we finally get a young player with upside. Sharp will hopefully be getting a game ahead of the likes of Billings and Spargo. Welcome Harry!!!!

    • 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.

      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.
