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...

We could always ask a collingwood for a player/s that Bailey feels that we need and swap 1st round picks with them?

    Didak, Pendlebury and Pick 14 for Pick 4?

    Wouldn't matter how good the deal is, not sure I could stomach helping them get Judd....

    We would be already out of the running for Judds services if we are to trade with pick 4. We could benefit if another club wants to gain Judd.

    I would take pendelbury of the pies in a heart beat. if judd says the pies thats what we should offer them.

    pendlebury is so overrated

    Soft as butter

    How he finished ahead of Jones in the Rising Star is beyond me

    u idiot.

    just looks at Pendlebury's stats. He has huge impact on games has oustanding skills which are damaging, can kick goals and is ultra athletic.

    pendlebury>Jones and i am as biased a demons supporter as there is.

    Spot on.! And Thomas I reckon goes alright too.

    Fair enough. I assumed we were trying to be determine who we could spend this year's pick 4 on, realistically.

    In that case I agree with you, omho no other available player is worth pick 4, I'd prefer to take a punt on Masten, Morton or Ebert.

    What if the pies were to offer Cloke for Pick 4?

    I don't watch many Pies games so am unsure of how good he is, but I know he is highly rated so what do people here think?

  • Quote

    you know the thing with cloke, is that he seems to do a lot of things right but he cant kick. he really cant. i havnt watched him close enough to see if its because his kicking action is deficient, or if its in the head or what. if it was something the recruiters and footy dept. thought was fixable then yes, in a heartbeat, but if he's gonna be just another player who cant kick goals but should be, well then...

    he is young and can mark however, and this type of player is not too be sneezed at, so ignore that trade at your own peril.

  • Quote

    thinking some more, if we could secure cloke for pick 4 so collingwood could judd i would take it, and i would trade robbo to the bullies for their first rounder, maybe throw something else in if we needed too...

    robbo would become redundant, cloke would be the other forward, (with neitz and newton next year). and the 1st round pick would then be worth more...

    No way Pies would give up Cloke for Judd.

    Collingwood are building their next decade around Cloke.

    so judd is 24..which means he could be playing good footy for another 6 seasons. Are we even in the premiership window within 6 years? I know our pick 4 would most likely still be around...not judd though.

    We haven't rebuilt as a club since the concept of 'rebuilding' became common place. We are similar to the Bulldogs in our drafting consistency and ladder positions.

    Geelong didn't have a premiership window until Steven Johnson got his head right and the whole team subsequently clicked. It can happen to us in the next few years. TJ = SJ. Our defence is the question of course, need to have Frawley and Rivers become very good defenders first.

    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?

    good call mate. dont forget that brock was something like pick no. 5 i think and judd was a no. 3 pick, so pick 4 is something in between--the skills of judd and the toughness and leadership of brock.....i hope

    btw, does anyone remember, was johnstone a no. 1 pick?

    Yep, TJ was number 1 in '97.

    And despite opinion was definately the right choice. Was a teenage prodigy and we all know is a superstar. The thing that excites me about the Judd thing is that Johno will finally not get number 1 tagger. His issue was never talent, it was shaking a tag, but without the best on him everyweek. See him emerge and be compared like a Kerr (a is he as good as the best comparison)

    • 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?
