Eagles could easily do the deal to land 6 off GC. If it comes with a wink wink no bid in first 2 picks, GC will have effectively saved a gazillion on points.

I am reading that a few clubs are looking to move out of top 10. So, that helps us, but then the question is why? Obviously the draft isn’t rated by many.

We won’t need to ‘overpay’ it seems to move up, but there isn’t anyone worth chasing is there?

Carlton and Gold Coast will be doing it for points.

Think Essendon has a pretty nice hand to get another one btw.

 

[freo_leo29]

West Coast have Chesser and Ryan going out for later picks too, might be points there

too many scenarios

 

[Ge3ks]

Never trust big foot

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

Yes, he’s solid. I’m just posting what I think.

It’s never a clear cut pick ~ 32 for McVee type scenario.

Will be overly complex to benefit both sides.

Will involve all sorts of upgrades and future pick swaps and likely with picks neither club currently has.

This either gets done for pick ~32 early so then Demons can focus on other trades OR gets done last 5 mins once all the cards are out and Demons know what they’re playing with after all their deals.

We may even ‘score’ a bounty of picks next year.

Can easily see a scenario where we give up 32 and F2 and get a bunch of later picks back this year and/ or next.

I can actually even see us trading down 11 with a hypothetical 17 they receive from GC and scoring points in later rounds.

Heaps of scenarios possible now that Demons are shipping out some blokes.

I agree with you Cobbler
I wish we could have a thread where it's a competition to see what the actual trade is not just what supporters think should be the trade. In my opinion I could see us trading our second this year and our 2027 second. That's my prrediction. Two second rounders for McVee.

Yuck.

 

[Purple Suit]

Their second rounder would be the alternative i.e. the very next pick

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

Yuck.

McVee is way better than most on here think. I mean way better. Many third party (eg not Melbourne or Fremantle) supporters think he's worth a late first on its own.

Better than langdon?

Whilst my recent posting history probably suggests I agree with you I'm not sure the value of that future second is easy to access.

The tightening of fs/academy system next year I actually think will make it way fairer. The 2027 Draft, even if Tasmania comes in, might even be less compromised than 2025.

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

Yes. McVee is a great kick.

 

[Taylor]

Langdon had far more runs on the board when he was traded to Melbourne than McVee does currently.

 

[Ge3ks]

Yes. McVee is a great kick

But Langdon brings the crowd into the action.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Covers them in flour

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

With the glut of players Melbourne have moving, they'll prefer a future 2nd, there is no way we do two 2nds straight up.

 

[guidodp15]

Looking back at the trade it wasn't as bad as we thought it was at the time. I think we lost our heads due to the fact we were early in a rebuild and cost a decent flavour that was likeable.

 

[2big2strom]

Thank Christ they aren’t trading their end of first rounder for Starcevich and Robertsen. Brisbane have enough advantages.

nekk minnit they hand over pick 6 for starc and dev instead

It looks awful


a like 15 game stretch from Acres is the only thing thats come close to Langdon on the wing since he left

and its been 5 years..

I think that speaks more of our recruitment of Wingers than Langdon's abilities.

McVee already has two top ten best and fairest including 7th in 2024 and 9th in 2023 in a top 4 team. Langdon's disposal was very suspect when playing at Freo. That affected his trade value. McVee has great disposal already.

Langdon had two top 5 bnf finishes

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

Langdon had two top 5 bnf finishes

Yeah I take your point as I quoted bnf. But I still think McVee has way more upside than Langdon did.

 

[Paracleet]

Or you could just say you were wrong.

 

[Superkoops]

Won’t be two seconds alone and it won’t be a late first. Melbourne were only offering 2 year contract extension.

The middle ground between the extremes is second round but one that fits in the 25-29 range. We were in that range but will be pushed back 5. Even then Melbourne will rate 25 and Freo around 29. So 34 will need a decent sweetener. Even 29 and Melbourne would have wanted a sweetener. Given the likelihood of Melbourne rebuilding the only way I see two seconds is if we get a F3 back and and upgrade of a late 2025 pick.

Something by like:
34, 71, F2 > McVee, 65, F3

The 65 could be handy as a trade for Serong.

 

[Sherriff Incorporated]

I did say I was wrong. Either way I don't think Langdon was as accomplished as McVee is but I was wrong to use bnf as my reference point.
