Don’t we really need 2nd and 3rd round picks for next year for the points for White? 

Probably will use this in a bundle for a points trade this year

strange trade. What value for the crows in that? 

Maybe GWS want only future picks for Peatling

I hope we are loading up picks to get another first rounder, maybe even try to turn pick 5 into 7 and 8 from St Kilda.

Imagine getting a Rozee, Butters, Dursma-esq trio to rejuvenate the club. 

We are giving everything to Essendon sadly

Going straight out in the Essendon deal. Farewell sweet prince, we hardly knew you 

Well we must still be keeping ammo for Sharp and possibly Derksen.

I think that means we'll get a F3 back in the deal so we have a full suite of futures beyond the F1 that's going.

The only other path I can see is F3 from Collingwood for Tomlinson and that seems unlikely.

they think we'll finish bottom 4

We will have:

2024: 5, 9 and 49

2025: 2nd, 3rd (ess), 4th and 5th

 

I guess we use 49 or future 3rd for Sharp,

Derksen seems unlikely to be traded by GWS

 

+ lots of points for White next year

At least we can death ride them back. Could be a pick 37-42 if Essendon have the spectacularly bad year we're all waiting for them to have, given their list sucks and Merrett is their only star.

Seems strange for Adelaide with Peatling to get done, 46 could have been useful. 46 + F2 for Peatling + GWS F2 sounds about right to me.

I don't think GWS want 2024 picks - they generally try to have high picks each year, and they already have 3x first rounders this year. So makes sense for them to load up next year instead

Probably fair enough, GWS already have 37, 53 and 56 this year too so don't need 46 in addition.

Maybe F2 for Peatling - do you think that's fair? F2 + F3?

So what do we have left this year after 5 and 9?

Edit. Pick 49, just saw on another thread, which will likely get used for Harry Sharp deal

I hope when we win the flag next year the contribution of pick 46 gets acknowledged.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
