Hold fire! We may give up pick twenty-four and twenty-eight and get pick fifteen in return

Iā€™m holding.

    Plausible. That scenario would give GWS a net gain of +350 draft points

    Nah Blues have enough young talent coming through. They still have Jagga Smith coming on next year who is an absolute jet, Harry Dean in this year's draft who i have watched come through the Murray Busgrangers and then Cody Walker next year who could have easily been a top 3 prospect in this year's draft. Walker is Will Ashcroft/Nick Daicos in terms of being immensely talented.

    They'll be fine.

    Blues list is terrible. Adding 3 talented 18 year olds will certainly help but theyā€™ll struggle for awhile yet

    Does Trac record a message to MFC fans like Checkers did? My money says no.

    I think you mean Gold Coast but yes they get enough points to match bids on their academies

    30yo Trac for 2 high draft picks is a fair/good deal. We get millions off our salary cap

    Couldn't give a rats about pick 24 which will become 32 in a weak draft

    Is it?

    Curnow getting offers for way more, for a bloke who can only play forward, and whoā€™s broken bodied.

    And no, heā€™s not that good, take away the whistle, and all the goals he boots against North and WCE, heā€™s useless.

    Look at his finals record vs Trac.

    We deserve at least one good player for Trac with a pick.

    Donā€™t know the last time I saw a forward win the best and fairest, because simply theyā€™re not.

    I've seen some of Dean.

    If there is a better out and out key defender in the draft I'd like to hear it. Seems to have everything: good overhead, positioning with ball in flight, distribution, intercepting, closing speed.

    If itā€™s true weā€™re giving Trac, 24 and 28 for 7+8 and a future Sunsā€™ pick, thatā€™d better bloody be their future first or Tim Lamb can hand his resignation in at 7:31pm

    Guessing we're going to have to wait until 1900-1930 for the Petracca and Oliver trades.

    If we get 7&8 and improve our hand for next year I think we will have done very well.

    Before the trade period I was convinced we would have had to pay a big lump of his salary to get deal like that.

    Iā€™m hoping that the money we pay Clarry tapers off after the first year or two.

    If we do get 7 and 8 could we send 8 to the hawks for Cam McKenzie and help them get the merret trade done?

    Donā€™t think Essendon want more picks. I think they are just playing for time and will keep him. I have more sympathy for Humphrey than ZM tho. They guy wanted out, then extended on higher coin, and wants out againā€¦ not how it works, skipper

    Pity it's not picks 6 and 7 so we can say the trade is a bit 6 7

    My son assures me this is funny to (very) young people

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFLā€™s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.Ā

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      Iā€™ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we wonā€™t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything youā€™d like to ask or say below and weā€™ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics youā€™d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
