How about Bugg for pick 50 and picks 6 and 29 to GC for pick 3 and no player back. We lose 160 points that we don't need and GC gain them. Still get the two players we want but no more steak knives.

Just to blow my own trumpet I wasn't far off on this, missed the next year first round leaving and getting pick 10 and 43 in return. Now for the GWS trade to go through.

“Importantly, the deal signed this morning was the original deal proposed with Gold Coast involving Jeremy Howe. We have just replaced the Howe to Gold Coast component with pick No.29 – the pick we received from Collingwood in the Howe trade.

Gotta love Demonland...

So, who are we trading 3 and 10 for?

I saw a post on one of the Melbourne FC supporter group pages on Facebook (yeah, yeah, I know), referring to a forward prospect from Wagga via Canberra named Harrison Hemmelberg. Does anyone know much about him and is he worth consideration by the club in that support role for Hogan?

His running vertical jump of 333 centimetres was in the top 20 per cent of key forwards tested,

Wow! if he can jump 3.3 meters he will be a handful.

Good quote from Mahoney:

Good trading Demons

3 & 10

Draft kids who can contribute next season. We have to win games!!!

It is taken from the tip of your fingers to the ground, otherwise he would be trying out pole vault with little need for the pole.

Seriously, that's just plain dumb. 2016 is supposedly a much stronger draft, we are currently 15th or 16th in premiership betting, and we're prepared to risk giving up a top four pick. Is Parish really that good?

Potentially, IN picks 3, 10 and 43 in a weak draft; OUT pick 4 in a strong draft, 6 and 29 in a weak draft. How is that possibly a win for us?

I don't know what FMD means but it seems to be used a lot in this situation..

FMD!

We have traded picks to trade for a player. We do not intend to take these picks to this years draft.

Interesting deal.

Looks great on paper... unless we finish bottom 4 next year!

Ignore him. We could have traded a third rounder for the first 5 picks in this draft and he would still complain.

Why doesn't that useless p*ick Mahoney do something?

Am I doing it right?

Yeah that Josh is out of his depth isn't he?

#halfbackflankers....

HOW DO WE GET PRESTIA WITHOUT A 1ST ROUNDER FOR NEXT YEAR

Like who?

Wow - that is a big call if true!! Getting interesting.

Obviously that player is not a GC player, so no Prestia.

The plot thickens

I don't know whether to be excited or curse your name GNF!

For goodness sake!

Interesting, though that goes against what Mahoney just said...

?

They're backing themselves in not to. Effectively we get 3 & 10 for 6. Two top 10 picks this year. For the now.

That's my question? Plus don't we already own pick 43?

Absolute ripper deal!

The pundits are saying that this is a weak draft.....beyond the top dozen. We now have 2 picks from the strong options.

We have to amass good talent today. Not next year or the year after.

As SWYL said...we have to start winning games!

And if we do start winning in 2016 the pick we have forgone next year won't be as valuable.

Online sources say pick 3 for Parish, pick 10 for trade.

Agreed. It carries an air of confidence to me. I like it. I don't know a lot about the draft players but A) they've got their eye on someone in particular, or b) they've got a real quiet big trade on the side ready to go. Probably A.

That's my question? Plus don't we already own pick 43?

43 gone to GC.

Sorry mo64, 43 comes in to us.
