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.  

 

Just mentioned on afl radio that pic 49 for Harry is being close to being completed.

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.

Nailed it

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.

What a cutting comment! Can you be more blunt than that?

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!

Can we tell the PRODUCERS to stop the telecast after pick 9?


5, 9, Tom and Jeremy

Better than I expected 

We have cover for max

We have replaced running power from ANB leaving 

and 2 elite talents come in

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!!!!

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
