Random Task

I wouldn't be surprised if Brown slides through to the Rookie draft. Also to be determined is if we'll put Melksham on the inactive list, which I think entitles us to another selection.

I think this is where my opinion currently sits aswell. At this stage it seems to be out of Curtin/Sanders/Watson for who is available at pick 7. Throw in a smokey in Caddy from outside that range who has grown to 193cm and is starting to look more key position height. I would be happy with a Curtin/Sanders/Watson pick, whichever way that falls for pick 6 (7). Can't really go wrong within the first 7 in my view. For 11, if we go a mid type at 6 I wouldn't be surprised if we try to manoeuvre up for O'Sullivan. 11 and future first for Geelongs pick 8 maybe? If we go with Curtin at our first pick, I'd be very happy with one of Leake/Windsor.

It was just 14, 27, 35 for 11. F2 and F3 were for McAdam and Billings respectively. We only plan to take two picks to the draft and as spots were limited they therefore could only be used to move up or into the future. If the recruiters feel there's a premium pool of players in the first dozen or so, and subsequently a drop off after that, then they've wisely traded into that premium space in my view. Still a bit to played out anyway, our picks could still be drastically different again on draft night. We can properly break it down then.

Not a 2023 target, but would love for the club to land an established mid like Butters, McCluggage, Florent or Callaghan over the next year or two. Also a key position player as required pending the status of Petty, May and Gawn.

Yep. I can see us still trading with the roos. Pick 6 and 11 for 3 and 18. 18 will end up around 22.

Dan Curtin?

Darcy and English will both be Restricted FAs while Logan won't be a free agent. Clubs can therefore match the RFA bids and trades will have to occur, depending on how they view the compensation.

Unless Darcy wants out to vic. Freo have 3 first round picks next year and have been said to be targeting Logan McDonald. Think they're going to go hard at a player(s) next year.

On todays Gettable episode they described an early pick swap scenario involving us Gold Coast and North. Wasnt fully detailed but essentially would have seen North with picks 2, 5 and 6 with Melbourne getting 3 and North's 2024 end of first round pick after giving up 6, 14 and future 1st.

Few good ones here McCluggage Florent English Marshall Darcy Stewart Henry Cumming

At a guess... McAdam #23 Fullarton #27 Billings #14 ND 6 #4 ND 11 #6

Appreciate the response but wasn't ment to be a serious question. We've done ok but who knows how the future will pan out. We're definitely going to win the draft though

Everyone looks weird and ugly

6, 11, 42 and future 1st. Will be interesting to see what these picks turn into next month.

Essentially we've swapped Grundy for Fullarton/McAdam and Harmes for Billings. If we finish higher on the ladder than Sydney and Bulldogs then we've also upgraded our future 2nd and 3rd round picks in the process.

Did we win the trade period?

Why is your name a pale blue colour?

Stephen Powell and Clint Bizzell if they haven't been mentioned already.

ICYMI Essendons D'Ambrosio is apparently considered a delisted free agent under rookie rules and can move to Hawthorn via that mechanism. Essendon have been playing hardball with him to get a better pick and its been reported that they may not have been aware of this rule and the fact he can walk for nothing.

From foxsports REPORTEDLY DONE DEALS Melbourne gets Jack Billings, details TBC

Reid, McKercher, Duursma or Watson is your man then.

Thought there might be something to this when our name popped up last week. Gave me Lachie Hunter vibes from last years trade period. We need mature depth so not against this if he comes cheaply from a draft capital perspective. Has an excellent field kick on him. Can see him playing high half forward/wing with an occasional centre square attendance.
