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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
