Obviously if we're to get Judd, pick 4 would probably be going to WC. But is he the only player we'd consider trading the pick for, or should we be shopping it around to see if anyone is interested, and what should we be trying to get for it?

    other than Judd i can't see any reason y we'd trade this pick...

    however if we are offered something outstanding from a club trying to secure Judd (Collingwood) then we should atleast look at the offer.

    i wouldnt mind

    Pick 4 + Matt Maguire for pick 8+26

    As much as i want Judd, It's not all doom n gloom if Judd doesn't come.

    With Pick 4 we'll pick up a very good player in Ebert or Palmer and that's enough to get me through another boring summer of cricket.

    There are many players I'd trade pick 4 for, some examples are:

    Judd, Kerr, Cox, Pavlich, Burgoyne, Pendlbury, Jon Brown, Buddy Franklin, Hodge, Foley, T.Cloke etc

    But only Judd is available ;)

    Here's the way i see it, if we don't get Judd

    we use pick 4 on one of Palmer or Ebert

    we use Pick 5 (which we obtain through trading Robbo and our 2nd round pick to the Dogs) on Henderson

    we use pick 7 (which we obtain through trading Bruce/TJ (preferably Bruce) and Jamar/CJ to Freo) on Rance

    Why this Order, well picks 4 & 5 don't really matter as the draftee we don't pick up with pick 4, we get with pick 5.

    We do however have to pick Ebert/Palmer and Henderson before Rance, as Essendon require a forward or midfielder more than a backman IMO.

    Hence we draft Rance with pick 7.

    If Judd doesn't come to melbourne, pick 4 has to stay. Rarely would you consider trading pick 4. Judd is an exceptional circumstance though.

    You've nailed it.

    I would not trade Pick 4 if it wasn't for Judd.

    If Judd said he wanted to go to Collingwood, would you give Collingwood Pick 4 for, say, Pendlebury?

    I don't know too much about the kids in the draft and who we could grab with pick 4, but you would have to seriously think about that offer. Pendlebury is a gun, and he's still a kid. That's why Collingwood won't trade him.

    It's foolish to say that if not for Judd, we are not trading pick 4.

    If we can't get Judd, and another club can but needs our pick 4, I'm all for ripping that club off!

    Will we actually have any players left for next year?

    You can't put all your eggs in the one kiddy basket.

    there could be a great demand for pick 4 from a club who is trying to secure the judd trade... carlton, collingwood and essendon will all be looking for another top selection if judd wants to go to their club... one that comes to mind is Carlton trading Fevola for pick 4... carlton supporters may say that fev is worth more than pick 4, probably true, but if they need it to secure Judd, then it still could happen...

    agree, we want him in red & blue but we still will get a good young bloke with pick 4, thats the main thing

    I agree with you Vanlo, having pick 4 maybe a blessing in disguise for us. Essentially it could be looked at by the other clubs, (except for Richmond and Carlton of course) as the number 1 pick, so to speak. For obvious reasons like the blues and the tiges not wanting to part with their picks, then that leaves us with the highest pick, and I am tipping if the price is right the dees will part with it. You never know who we may get if we trade pick 4. Going by our past history in recruiting and trading, wouldn't surprise me if we traded it for someone like Shaun Mcmanus!!!! :)

    Are they on the market?

    My interpretation of the discussion is who would you trade pick 4 for, the question of whether they're available or not is irrelevant ;)

    Question-

    what would people think about trading pick 4 for Jed Adcock who looks like quiting Brisbane to return to Victoria.

    He is 21 years old, and was desperately unlucky to miss out on All Australian. He is a dashing half back flanker with massive pace and a great kick. After this breakthrough season in 2007, he is basically fully developed and ready to play a huge role for his club.

    If we go for a midfielder with pick 4, we will probably go for Ebert, Palmer or Masten. These guyz are highly rated, but are not standouts in the same way hodge or Judd were before they were drafted. These guyz could become great, or could just end up solid players.

    Jed is extremely young, and you know you are getting a fantastic player of the future. With the retirement and delisting or Brown and Ward, we are looking for a dashing half back flnkaer with skills.

    Is Jed exactly what we need?

    If we dont get Judd, he should be our man to go after!

    while i rate jed, im not sure if i want to put pick 4 on a half back flanker. i know that might sound silly, but id rather see it used to draft a high quality KPP...

    I'm with you 'dean ox', I think we need a real big KPP. We have enough mobile lithe light bodied 191cm 194cm players. If we were to get Judd then that would satisfy the midfield need @ the moment, as long as we don't lose any to trades of our kids. We do need a POWER KPP.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
