Problem is, Binners, 7 and 8 very likely become 11 and 12 after academy and F/Ss, so two mid first round picks for him essentially. And we may well therefore give up other picks to allow them to match academy picks.

Fair points

But we got XL at 11 and i think he will be prove to he one of the best in his draft year.

No reason to think we can't turn picks 11 and 12 into two guns.

    And there is just as much a chance of turning those picks into Toumpas and co.

    Trac and a pick for picks is not a good deal for us. Unless they get us pick 1 or 2 then it's better.

    I think there’s a chance if we get 7 and 8 we trade up to try and get duursma. He looked great for Casey those 3 or 4 games he played

    The only purpose, as I interpret all of this , in taking those two picks is to turn them into one very high pick and a so-so one in the hopes of selecting one supposed decent kud and another as a lucky dip later on.

    And GC have the temerity to want change so they can buy lollies.. well... tbh.. f.t. for a joke

    So in my view does that trade stack up ?

    Be a big NO DEAL from me

    Being Melbourne... bound to go through.

    Rate that about 3/10 ( fail )

    Still, lets see what happens. It's still only Tuesday.

    I’m still holding out blind faith he requests a trade in the next few hours. But what’ll be will be, I just think it’s best to get trac out of the club at this point whether that be Humphrey or Picks.

    Yep... among first lot of cabs of rank imo.

    We would need to manifest 7 &8, into 2 and whatever to get a decent looking at someone.... imho

    So we would be giving up, Petracca and McVee for one single pick at say 3 and maybe a second rounder back (going by GC wanting Trac and pick 24 or whatever we have)

    Still far from a Tim Lamb quoted headturner.

    I think this might be the play- Richmond are open to trading one of their two top picks. If we get the first one we would be able to grab Robey I’d say.

    If we thought there are "guns" in this draft, why did we trade out of it last year?

    Yup, to me that is a disaster.

    And worse it would show that we might talk big but don’t stick to our word.

    They might but Essendon are keen to get to one and have a better draft hand than us.

    We trade our future first round pick almost every year. We own the buy now pay later draft payment plan.

    2025 #7 for Ess 2026 1st?

    Keep 2025 #8

    7 will end up being around 11

    Ess will be bottom 3 in 2026. That'll give us picks 2 and 3 next year 😂🤔

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
